So, I can't fall asleep because my roommate is snoring obscenely loudly. What is the proper response in this situation?

Smother him with a pillow.

Yes I got it first!

Find somewhere else to sleep...

Short of that, keep waking him/her up until he or she stops, then at least they will be as tired tomorrow as you are...

Nuke him!

Murder.

Murder.

I am Wilgrove, and I approve this message.

Be sure to make it look like suicide though. Now most people make the mistake of using guns to fake suicide, but there is an easier way, slit his wrist!

Earplugs. Good ones should solve the problem.

Sure if you want to take the boring route.

That'd be much more difficult to stage (I watch too much Forensic Files, I know).

Well you can't drug him, because that'll show up in the tox screen, and they'll be asking how a drugged man could commit suicide.

They changed their mind and drugged themselves t slow the bleeding! Be creative...

You're far more likely to wake up while someone's slitting your wrists than you are when someone's shooting you in the head, especially since it takes a while to bleed out to the point of losing consciousness. There's basically no way you could stage a suicide by slitting someone's wrists, I would wager. The angle and lack of hesitation marks would be a dead giveaway.

Hmm...BRILLIANT!

The only way you could stage a suicide if you well, drug them and write a suicide note.

But you have to put a lot of earplugs in his mouth to make him stop snoring!

Nah. It's fairly easy to stage a suicide by gunshot, according to Forensic Files. Many people don't leave suicide notes in any case, and, while a majority of suicide victims are found with alcohol in the blood, an absence of drugs or alcohol wouldn't necessarily be suspicious.

Yes. Very good. :tongue:

Watch Problem Child 2 for a good solution.

I presume *67 is the the same as our +141 and hides caller details?

Sounds like a plan.

Meh! wake the bleeder, shout stop your snoring, and if this don't work at least you are not the only one in the house with a lack of sleep.

Hadn't heard of it myself, and I've lived in the U.S. (almost) all my life. *69 is what you use to re-dial the last person who called you, but I've never heard of 67.

Attach him to a sound-activated cattle prod...

One of those shock collars used to silence barking dogs... that'd be so cruel.

Buy him a harmonica - I watched a documentary about the history of the harmonica and a claim was made that harmonica players never snore.





Though of course then you have to put up with someone who plays the harmonica....
