How do you deal with a roommate who always uses you as an excuse to get out of trouble?

Do you have to stay in this CHU with her?  If not I would definetly work on getting a new room mate.  You can't stop her from using you as an excuse because you cant be with her when she tells these lies, but let her know if it ever comes down to it you will NOT lie for her and if anyone asks you questions about you being responsible for her being late, let her know you will be telling the truth.  OR f*ck her up and teller she will get a lot more of that if she doesnt straighten up her act.

If the people that you hate are doing something illegal, yes, you can call the cops. However, if it's nothing illegal and these people just really bother you, then you have either of two options: 1) talk to your roommate and work things out peacefully, and this is preferable, but  if that is not possible, then 2) sign a form that says you plan not to renew your lease, and find a different place to stay. Remember that you will still be obligated to your current lease, so you have to think about whether or not it will be worth the money and hassle it takes to break the lease early, if you want to do that instead.

Ignore her. She will self-destruct sooner or later.  The more that she sees that you are bothered or vexed, the more she will continue to do it.  She's trying to get your attention and if she finally realizes that it's not working, she will stop.

You don't have to be mean but you can be very firm. Tell her this is not working out for you to have a roommate and give her a deadline to be out and tell her from now on you will not watch her kids. As the deadline approaches, remind her of it.  If she gets mad, then so be it. She can get glad the same way she got mad.

Sweetheart, that's a rotten way to live and millions do it everyday..if it is just a question of you liking quiet time in the morning (like me) then ignore the questions and comments and they will get the hint..\ngive off the right vibe and you'll get through. (picture yourself as a skunk or something unapproachable...nobody messes with THEM until they  wanna be messed with)\nIf it runs deeper than that, move out or make him move out, you have to feel safe and comfortable in your shelter or it's not shelter anymore.\nGood Luck

avoid any confrontation, play the headache/not feeling well act until yo are ready to bounce then leave him a note letting him know why you chose to go.. maybe with a word of advice in the hopes that he'll be better to his next victim...\nthis is assuming of course that he is unbearable...\nMaybe you're the tough one to get along with?

She's not going to throw you out she's just pissed.  Give her some time to herself.  Stay out of her way. DOn't say anything to her.  When things simmer down swallow your pride and apoligize for being disrespectful and hurting her feelings but reconfirm that you didn't steal the money.  \n(I pray to God you didn't steal that money for real because if you did and she has insider proof you did you are soooo screwed and you are moving out)  Not now but right now!\n\nAfter that shut up and listen to whatever crap she wants to say and don't say anything else but sorry cuz  you are on thin ice.  \n\nUnless you have an alternate source of housing you need to just swallow your pride.  I know she's being irritating but she does care about you.

try to find someone else to take over the lease and then maybe the leaser will let you out of it.

Talk to her and agree to meet on middle grounds if she thinks it's not fair that she always has to be the one coming to your place. If she's a good friend, she should understand your situation and try to help you with it.

wow buddy, hard question, with severaly different approaches.. if you punish them too much, they will do the things you dont want them to do just to spite you, and if you dont punish them enuff they are goin to do it anyways, just cause they can.... the only thing i can think of is to be their friend and hope they do the right things,, simply cause it would take alot of stress off of you to relax and not get upset at all the stupid crap he/she is goin to pull... take it in stride and hopefully he/she will do the right thing, just talk to them like they are an adult, casually talk bout situations you where in, and mention stupid things you did and regret,,(make stuff up) but don't say "dont do this because this is what i did" joke with them if your watchin a show and see someone doing sumthing stupid thats a good segway into a convo bout your own mistakes!!!

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I live with the same type of thing every day, unfortunately the person in question is my boss. Sometimes I think if I let loose one day the consequenses might just be worth it. Horrible, I know, but this kind of person can cause the most severe and aggressive frustration! My advice is to avoid him as much as possible, which is what I do with her, but should you happen to proceed with a physical confrontation I admit I would find it comforting to know that at least someone had some consequence for their constant crap behavior and maybe will think twice about it in the future.

you can always try going to court and talking you way out of it\n\nmy roomates done that a couple times before, it really works :)

Ignore him totally.  He'll either stop, or it will get worse...but then at least you will have another situation to file a more serious complaint against him...Make sure you are never alone leaving class if you go at night.  This is kinda hard because he hasn't actually touched you...just be very careful and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

There's not anything you can do ... just keep going in and being yourself,if you go in now and act all weird she'll pick-up on it and it will make the problem worse.Believe me all she wants to do is forget about it.

Sounds like you've got an evil bitch of a land-lady, there. Get everyone in your apartment block to move out all at once, make her go bankrupt! LOL

I do that too.  When my roommate was out of town, I had to check everywhere - Under the bed, in the shower, in the closet... just to make sure I was the only one in the apartment.  But there is a point where you go overboard.  You can't always be afraid, but a girl has got to be careful these days!  Maybe talking to a couselor would make you feel more secure.  Or take a self-defense class.  I did and now I feel like if I DID find someone hiding in my apartment I could kick thier butt!
