Stonehill College Student’s Lawsuit: Roommate Had ‘Disturbingly’ Open Sex LifeNEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A college student from New York is suing Stonehill College in Massachusetts, a Catholic Liberal Arts College, saying her roommate’s sex life drove her into a suicidal depression and that the school did nothing to address her concerns.
The student, Lindsay Blankmeyer, alleges that her roommate, “Laura,” was “having online and actual sex right in front of her,” according to the court complaint.
“More disturbingly, Laura would have sex with her boyfriend while Lindsay was trying to sleep just a few feet away. Laura would also engage in sexually inappropriate video chatting when Lindsay was in the room,” the complaint read.

What, and Laura didn't charge her $ 38,99 a month?
ReplyDeleteLucky guess, just like me.
DeleteI once had a student who always left the room when her roommate was having sex. She, too, had depression and didn't feel like she could confront the chick who was always having sex and whose boyfriend would just hang out in the room naked.
ReplyDeleteThe dorms were overpacked and freshmen were required to stay in them.
But we found a solution.
The next time she came in to sex, I told her to grab her roommate and the boyfriend's clothes and run like hell for the garbage chute. Things COULD be retrieved from there, so she was unlikely to be in any real trouble.
She did it. Both the roommate and boyfriend chased her naked down the hall, him with condom flapping in the breeze. Why the roommate did not consider the fact that her robe was right there or that she was in a room full of her own clothes before giving chase we'll never know.
They NEVER did it again. :)
"Blankmeyer was given additional housing options, which did not meet her satisfaction. She and her parents asked if she could have her old dorm room back minus her roommate."
ReplyDeleteBet you anything she was living in the brand-new upperclassmen dorm and couldn't bear the thought of going back to one of the, eww, older dorms.
Not denying that the roommate seems like a creep though, at least as described.
I don't think I had a single roommate in all four years who didn't have sex with me trying to sleep a few feet away, despite my best efforts to be accommodating (posting my class schedule on the wall, giving advance notice if I would be sleeping elsewhere, asking for some advance notice so I could leave the room, even offering to swap residences with my roommate's boyfriend who more or less lived with us). I ended up having to sleep in the lounge quite frequently. That's just the way college students are: horny, selfish, and inconsiderate. I was probably no better, but just not into exhibitionism so I didn't have sex in front of my roommates. I find it creepy and a little narcissistic, but all of my roommates did it to me, and our rooms were tiny; there wasn't more than four feet between the beds. It wasn't just the sex but having to live with a random guy who happened to be bonking my roommate, in a room not quite big enough for two people much less three. But it never occurred to me to sue the university or ask for a private room. But if they had offered me one, even if it was a dank cubby, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. I don't get why this student didn't take the option of the private cubby or at least a roommate swap. Sounds like a scam to me.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I liked your comment but it could have gone in a whole new direction after that first line. So many clauses can get confusing.
