Today, my roommate decided that because she has an oral report due, she's going to scream at the top of her lungs until she loses her voice to get out of it. It's been two hours and she refuses to stop. FML

At least when she's done you won't be able to hear any more of her stupid ideas for awhile... Sorry OP.

Why wouldn't she just fake it by talking in a hoarse voice rather than actually damaging her vocal chords...

You'd think she'd spend the two hours preparing for her oral report unless she's got social anxiety, which I doubt since she has no reservations about doing this. It's still early enough to put in for a change in roommate, as others have suggested. In the meantime, how about going to the library and doing your work there. Best of luck!

Why scream? All you need to do is sing along to loud 80s music for an hour. Tested and proven to blow out your voice.

grab a hand full of pepper powder and shove it down her open mouth

And speaking as a college professor ... that's probably not going to get her out of it anyway. If it was one of my students, I'd just have her do it a few days later. Stuff like that might work in high school, but not in college.

watch out, you might be the teacher of OP's roommate :p

I respect professors like you. Much props for being understanding with students.

you should keep a mirror in front of her to show how horrible she looks when she screams

Doubt that is high on her list of priorities.

Or pretend she's sick and send an e-mail or make a phone call saying so. But no: clearly screaming is the most practical solution.

record her and send the video to her prof.
