Anyone else have to deal with this sh*t?

Post by Keavy »

Okay, I have a "Communal desk" which is the desk I work from. It has a hutch where I store the books that I don't have room for on my bookcase. I say its "Communal" because everyone uses it. So anyways, the thing is I spend at least an hour a week cleaning off this desk. Beer bottles, soda cans, papers, mail, etc. All kinds of crap all piled on my desk.

So, does anyone else have this issue?

When I moved in my roommate Mike SWORE to me that my room would be my own. I went on and on about how I had to share stuff at every other place I have lived and how I hated it because files would disappear off my computer (Like when my music collection was deleted a couple months ago) or the computer ceases to function due to virus or hardware malfunction and everyone who had access swears that it was working fine when they were using it so yeah, it wasn't supposed to be communal.

Then his PC (A super cool Alienware he won in some contest) belched out lots and lots of smoke and then proceeded to catch his desk on fire (I gotta admit, it was pretty cool to watch) so now my iMac and PowerBook are the only PC's in the house because his girlfriend doesn't want one (Yet loves to use mine) and naturally, family members and friends who feel the same as my roomie's girlfriend use my iMac and/or PowerBook if I leave it at home (They piss me off because they use the PowerBook and NEVER PLUG IT INTO THE CHARGER WHEN THEY ARE DONE!!!) so yeah.

I tried doing the "Administrator" thing with OS X where they have to log in to a special "Guest Account" and that lasted all of ten minutes because for some reason no matter what they wanted to do it asked for "Administrator Approval" (I might have set it up wrong) so yeah, I scrapped that idea.

Basically now I have a sign that reads "Your mom doesn't live here so clean up your own mess" which will work as long as we don't get any additional roommates with children.

Its simple. When you are not on the mac put its power cord in your pocket.

As for the powerbook, isn't the battery removable? Remove it. When anyone asks about it, just make a face and say, "Oh, I guess no one plugged it in to the charger."

Administrator protection? BS. Set it for single user with a password. A robust password.

Quietly throw out everything anyone else leaves on your desk. If you are feeling generous, put the non garbage things where they can be recovered. If the question arises "Have you seen my X?" the reply becomes "Where did you leave it?" "Right there on the desk." "You couldn't have left it there on my desk, you promised no desk invasion, you MUST have left it elsewhere." If you are feeling cruel you can even "help" them look in all the wrong places.

Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I remember the hippy days. When roomates would flat say, "Everything is shared, all this stuff is ours. Well except for this stuff which is mine, but ALL your stuff is ours."

Nice guys don't always finish last, but they will get stepped on. Every time.
