ULPT request Stop my Roommate from Smoking
Posted by Stronk_Cheems@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 30 comments
Hi everyone I’m a uni student who’s staying at a off campus apartment for close to a year now and when I initially signed up with random roommates I got someone who smokes alot and it’s getting annoying I’ve asked them to stop and they just say yeah and don’t actually pay attention to what I say I’ve also contacted apartment management multiple times since we have a no smoking policy but they won’t really do anything to confront them my other roommates aren’t bothered by it but the smell gives me headaches, what can I do? (I apologize for the improper grammar English isn’t my first language)

See if there's a renters' association in your city. If it's against the lease, they can be the middle man that approaches your landlord. Also, there must be someone at the uni who's job has to do with student life/relations/complaints. They can also approach your landlord on your behalf. You can even go to admissions or uni HR and ask who to contact.

Find an odor that is compatible with you, but is corrosive to the offending roommate and saturate the apartment. When the roommate confronts you, notify them that it should not be an issue since cigarette smoke is just as offensive. Continue to utilize the odor until the roommate backs down.

Look up "prank cigarette loads"
They make ones that make a terrible odor, quite nasty to inhale
The other ones explode 😅

First thing I thought was the exploding ones. I remember seeing ads for them in the back of comic books when I was a kid in the 70s/early 80s. Where would one get them now?

I see some on ebay for around $20 for a pack

The cancer will take care of it for you.

Will take a couple of years though. By that time, OP already moved out.
How can we speed up cancer?

cigarettes coated in some form of uranium, or uranium in the filter

Make a cigarette looking burn stain on a couch or curtains etc.Then take a picture and report it. When they investigate it you can suggest quitely it was due to his smoking. When it costs money to repair they will either remove him then or tell him if he smokes again he is on his last warning.

Put deadly poison in one of their cigarettes.
They won't smoke after that.

If it is cigarettes video them smoking. If it is marijuana, grow up.

People have the right to live smoke free

In a separate apartment sure but you can’t dictate what I do with my own life. If I smoke cigarettes in the smell of my clothing bothers you move out sucks to suck.

Steal their cigarettes and throw them away. Or throw water on them whenever they smoke.

As a former smoker, you would just get into a physical altercation with me. First time is my roommate, but also a random stranger I would be like bro not fucking happening next time it happens it would be fisticuffs basically immediately.

Sounds like a job for a squirt gun filled with piss... Or at least apple juice so it looks like it

Can't smoke if he doesn't have lungs.
Make arrangements with 3rd world organ harvester for him to be drugged and used as raw materials.
He can now do anything/everything from save lives to baiting fish.
You've also probably earned a few thousand dollars. Win/win as far as I see.

Perhaps when you speak to them try to take a breath between sentences. They might be more receptive (;
On the real though, what could work is something attached to their door to seal it and ask them to just please stay in their room when they do that

Punch him in the face.

You won’t stop them from smoking.
Ask for a new roommate.
ProminentKnuckle@reddit
Reevaluate where you have been putting your piss discs? They're clearly not working
Atworkwasalreadytake@reddit
Where do you live? Is it cigarette or marijuana? Are they smoking inside or on the porch?
If someone has to ask three basic questions like this, then you haven’t given enough detail, and that’s not a language barrier issue.
