Ugh This is Why Dorm Life is Pissing me Off

I've had these girls in the dorm right below mine come complain to me about noises they keep hearing from my dorm at night. They said it sounded like furniture was being moved and I haven't moved any of my furniture since the first week when I got here. But they keep insisting that it's coming from my room. My roommate sleeps before me so I try to be extra quiet. One of them just complained to me about 40 minutes ago and she wouldn't even stay to talk about it and acted a little bitchy. I honestly have no idea what the hell they're hearing and this is really starting to piss me off because I'm getting blamed for something I'm not doing. How shall I proceed in this predicament?

maybe she is not smart enough to figure out which room is above hers....another possibility is that the sound is traveling along the structure and is actually coming from a few rooms over.  It if is cold and you have gas heating; it could be the pipes.  I suggest reporting her complaint to whomever is in charge of the building operations before she reports you....that way they hear your concerns first.

Shrug your shoulders and tell her to buzz off.  If it's honest to gawd not you, there's nothing you can do.

I was so glad when I finally got out of dorms.   They blow - massively.
Steve, I am going to fucking kick your ass when I can find it.

Never had a dorm. Always wanted to live in one, though.

Act frustrated (this should not be too hard), she sounds like she may have trouble understanding you, this should help get the message across to her.

Failing that, actually make loads of noise*

I wish I could afford to live in a dorm, that stuff is expensive.

It was cheaper for me to live in a apartment next to campus than be in the dorms.  I hated the dorms, I had more restrictions on my life there than I did when I lived at home with my dad.  Not to mention that I don't do well with roommates (unless they are a significant other).  Not to mention that they made us buy a meal ticket, barely gave us any access to a kitchen, and the food they served was junky....needless to say, I did not stay in the dorms after freshman year.  I thought about having my dad lie and say he was living in town so I could get an apartment sooner, but I didn't...I if I could do it over again I would have gotten my dad to lie to the school.

Well it's too late to pretend a Spanish Foreign exchange student. So that covers my area of expertise.
Speak strictly in Anglish and she'll probably think you're crazy and shrug it off.

The food here is amazing and is ranked as one of the top places to dine for colleges. I really need to go work out otherwise I'll gain more than the freshman 15...

Maybe they're doing it because you're Asian? Some people are still racist like that.

Uhh... I highly doubt that. Before the first complaint I don't ever think they had ever seen me or my roommate.

I'll be moving into a dorm in about two months. My parent's are sending me to military school. An all male boarding school  :shake:
