How To: Deal with Your Roommate+ Two Random Guys
After a long week, you finally get the chance to catch up on some sleep. You are in the midst of a dream about vacationing in Maui and you are interrupted by the slamming of a door and combustion of giggles. You realized your roommate is home; you roll over and hope she settles down until you are interrupted again by the low rumble of raspy laughter. Your roommate has brought two random guys back to the room.
Survey the Canvas
Listen to what is going on to identify the intentions of your roommate and her guest. Listen to see how if they are just dropping by to get her forgotten phone charger or if they are staying. If their presences begin to bother you too much do not ignore it get up and check out what is going on. Sometime letting your roommate know that you are awake and aware of the situation might make her reconsider her decision to bring guest home. Just making your presence known is a non-confrontational way to handle the situation.
Make a Decision
If you feel uncomfortable with the unexpected guest you can approach your roommate. If your roommate has been drinking she probably will not understand anything you are saying. If this is an issue you can try to contact a friend and see if you can leave for the night. Remember to take your valuable items with you. The next day be prepared to have a conversation with your roommate.
