$13.95. A 4 number would be better because the aunt would probably have the time and determination to get the 3 number eventually. But OP could just change it pretty frequently.

Have you tried talking to her about it? That would be the best place to start. If you live in a college dorm, your RA should be able to do something about this. If they can't, file a noise complaint with campus/local police. This is in their jurisdiction, and you are probably not the only one annoyed by her singing. You could also be passive-aggressive and buy her a book on learning to sing. If you have taken the calm conventional routes, multiple times, and it hasn't stopped, I suggest you get creative:

Record her singing. Post it to social media where she has an account. Tag her. Write a complaint about her in the accompanying text post.

OR

You could start a war of attrition. Play your music at what you think is an appropriate level, ideally when her music isn't playing. If she complains, turn up the volume. If she puts on her music, drown it out. If this doesn't break her, find music that you still like but that she would find more obnoxious and repeat the steps. If this still doesn't work, you might consider the nuclear option. I found this loop particularly annoying, but you know her better. You mentioned she likes Disney music. This is good, as it means she likely has several fandoms she loves, but more importantly, it means she has several fandoms that she hates. Find a 10 hour loop from one of them. Blast it at full volume whenever she blares her music. You could also go the route of blasting the most obnoxious, awkward porn you can find.

Still failing this, you could always move out as a last resort, but it would be pretty shitty to have to move out because of a bad roommate's easily fixable behavior.

Let us know how it goes, and good luck! 👍

I hope you didn't actually throw it out. It looks like a zojirushi rice cooker like my brother has. Basically an older model to this: http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-ZCC10-Uncooked-Cooker-Premium/dp/B00007J5U7/ref=br_lf_m_1000220711_1_1_ttl?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=kitchen&pf_rd_p=385185701&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000220711&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=11QWDENE298PSQEB51VE They start at $165. Anyway my brother and I made some chicken and rice and put the chicken in there to keep it all warm (they're SO nice like that even when off). Well, whoever never showed and we forgot. By the time we found it it was moldy and we closed the lid and didn't really know what to do. Well, dumb as it sounds we left it, unsure of how to salvage the cooker. I thought of buying a new bowl for it but couldn't find one. Fast forward maybe 6-8 weeks after the dinner and it's really moldy and nasty, smells when opened, etc. My cousin one day, bless her soul, finds it and cleans it out. It looks awful but that mess should just slide out with little resistance. I was amazed seeing how easy the clean up was. Then the nonstick surface can be cleaned and it's fine. He's been using it for the last 6 years with no issues. It's funny, when you buy quality the mess you found is cleanable and the cooker will continue to work. There's no contamination to your food if you wipe the lid and bowl holder. It's just food mold, not black mold. Not as safe as Bleu cheese but it's not gonna kill you. And when cleaned with dish soap it should work fine for years to come. If that sounds crazy you can mail it to me and I'll prove it.

Cheaper even than a locking cabinet (if you can replace the door knobs) would be to just get a locking door knob and put it on your bedroom door. They're pretty easy to install too, usually just 3-4 screws and some assembling.

I'm a fit of petty, I researched lock boxes for control of the electronics. It locks the cord then you have to use a PIN to log into your allotted time. The master sets the time limits for all users. In my very limited free time I want to watch my shows. The responsible adults in the house are only home for 7 hours between our 12-16 hour shifts. There is NO REASON for her to waste our precious time with YouTube.

Try Fos Cam. Run about 50 bucks, can be set up on ethernet or wifi, and you can set it to constantly take pictures, stream video, all sorts of settings for whatever suits your needs. It also has an audio feed in and out, so you can hear through it and talk through. Has very good night vision and ridiculously high sensitivity for the motion sense. You don't need a computer constantly running, and can access the feed from anywhere via laptop, computer, or smartphone. I will try and hunt down a link for you.

Edit: here's the link. Looks like the price went up a bit but they really are incredible. I have 3 of them at work.

I recommend something like this. There are much cheaper options available. Few squares of this on your wall and ceiling should do the trick!

u/LeftMySoulAtHome · 1 pointr/badroommates

I have a sleep disorder and am sensitive to light. The way my bedroom is set up puts me under a skylight as well. (Great at night for stars, terrible past dawn. haha.)

This is the eyemask I have. It is comfortable and molds to my face, but it is thick as hell and no light gets through. You can't change the inconsiderate roomie, but at least something like that might help. :)

Why not try to practice self control and talk to them like an adult first, and reserve losing your shit if it continues after the talk?

It's going to be tough to ask children to be quiet in the middle of the afternoon. It may be best just to move out.

Here are a few options to keep the kids out of your room in the meantime:

Put locks on the plugs so she can't use them.
Plug Lock!

I have a full mosquito outfit. Mesh pants, mesh jacket that cinches at the wrist and has a full face covering that can zip open. Only problem is where it rests against your skin. Helps to wear something bulky but lightweight underneath. I pull my hands inside and tighten if I don't feel like wearing gloves.

Buy one of these, and put three thick rubber bands around it. If he continues to take the eggs, tell him to start putting $1 in the carton for every 3 eggs he steals. If it continues to happen, then the issue is more serious than "borrowing" eggs, he'll be going to a lot of effort to be an asshole to you, and then you can have a serious conversation about respect.

u/sallen99 · 3 pointsr/badroommates

Use large tupperware containers like this to separate out what is yours and what is his. Maybe you each get two or 3. Label them with your names. You each can only put enough food in the container to fill it and that's it. Label the shelves if you don't want to buy the containers and label the cabinets. This is a shared space that you both pay for. He's being very inconsiderate.
