Preface: I live on campus, and I have this "friend through association" (basically a friend of my roommate's who lives 2 floors up from me, and unfortunately became my [s:3f47aac166]friend[/s:3f47aac166]acquaintance as well) If you can't tell I'm not thrilled by this, I find him to be extremely annoying.
My classes are fairly spread out during the day, I have a 9AM, a three hour break, a 1PM, an hour break, and a 3PM. So between classes, I return to my room, sit down at my comp, read message boards, listen to music, play emulator roms, etc, anything except study or do homework because I'm lazy. Also, I tend to prefer to be alone for the most part. Yeah, I know, geek syndrome. Don't get me wrong, I do my fair share of social partying on the weekends and whatnot these days, but in the middle of a weekday I really don't want to interact with other people.
Well, inevitably, every single time (and I am not exaggerating when I say every time) I return from class and plop down in my comfy chair, move the mouse to close the screensaver, within 15 seconds, every time, a message pops up from this guy. "what r u up to?" I swear to God he has that phrase macroed. Do you just sit there and wait for the little popup that says "TheNickMix has returned from away." Does it really matter what I'm doing? Apparently to him it does; this obviously got old quickly, so I started responding with things like "rubbing one out to pictures of your mom" and he would just say "no seriously what r u doing". OMG. Do you have your own life?
Ok, no problem, I'm a nerd, I can fix this problem. Simple fix actually, just change the options in gaim so that my away and idle status is only modified with gaim use, not computer use. Well he must have caught on to this, because now within a few minutes of coming back, I get a message that says "r u there?" Oooh, you're clever, you memorized my schedule. Come on, haven't you figured it out by now? If I wanted you to know I was here I would have.
This isn't the only extent of the annoyingness. "want to get some food?"
"Well yes I do, but I was just going to go through the Express and bring it back to my dorm."
"alright I'll come with"
Out-****ing-standing. This means I now have company for the next hour. He invariably follows me back to my room, uninvited, and eats in my room, while I stare at the wall wishing he would leave. He chews pretty loud too, that gets on my nerves. Half the trash in my room is from him, that's just convenient. Effin A. LEAVE ME THE **** ALONE. If you were of the opposite gender and halfway decent looking I'd tolerate it, but nooooo, I get stuck with Mr. I-Have-No-Other-Friends-And-Your-Too-Nice-To-Tell-Me-Off-Bowel-Attachment.
One other instance I should mention. I like to nap. Alot. I get 8-10 hours of sleep per day with my naps added in. I put up an away that says "napping" when I do this. Why would I do that? Well it's kind of like a Do Not Disturb sign, right? To all my friends it is clear, it means I don't want to go throw the football, or get food, or anything like that, because I'm asleep. But no, for you it means I'm not doing what you want so your going to come interrupt it. Yes, he has, on more than one occasion, come to my room and knocked on the door to wake me up. At first I thought it was just an accident. *bang bang bang* I open the door in shorts and shirtless, looking like I clearly just woke up. "hey what's up dude?"
"Well I was sleeping...."
"Oh, my bad, well wanna get some food?"
"No." *close door in face and lay back down*
Well apparently that wasn't a clear hint to him. You may wonder how I can assume he woke me up on purpose. Well on another occasion, apparently he was walking down the hall to my room, and my roommate came into the buiding as well on his way back from class, and asked him what he was doing (and informed me of his reply later). "I was gonna go to your room to wake Nick's lazy ass up, he's sleeping." OH MY ****ING GOD!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS???? GO TO HELL YOU ****TARD!!!!
Obviously, at some point, the nice guy persona that I carry gets stretched a little too thin. One night he simply wouldn't leave and I wanted to go to bed. After a joke flew about my sexual orientation (jokes like that fly between all of us like rice at a food fight in an Asian dinner, sorry if your offended) I threw back "Soandso, get out of my room!" Well apparently I had a little too much of the "throwing a joke back" emotion in my voice, because he took it that way and said "No, you gonna make me?" And this is a rhetorical question from him, because I weigh in at about 140 pounds, and he's about 240 and could probably bench press 3 of me. So now whenever I yell at him to leave, I get the "ME BIG CAVEMAN YOU NO MAKE ME LEAVE" crap. Oh happy days.
Someone save me please.
Given enough time, everything will eventually begin to suck.
I wish it were that easy...he's seemed to gain that status where everyone gets annoyed with him, but if someone tries to tell him to get lost, someone just has to say "oh come on don't be mean"
Try hitting on him. Or maybe stop showering/shaving/changing clothes/brushing your teeth/etc and try stinking him out of your hair. Or you can get into the habit of listening to really really annoying music blasted really really loud (first find out what sort of music/bands he hates).
Getting a house with my 3 best buds up here for next year, 1 of them is my current roommate. Well after deciding on a place, which has 4 rooms, it also has this big loft...my roommate says "you know that loft is almost as big as one of the rooms, if we got a 5th it would help with price alot." Everyone agreed, and guess who I'm living with next semester...

Seriously, just to flat out tell him that you don't like him. You're ****ing sick of him. And to get the **** out and stay the **** out. If he does the caveman **** again, call the police.

Sucks he out weighs you. Makes it harder to let him know how you feel, per chance he might get angry you disliking him for being such a tool. In all honesty, I'd re-evaluate the quality of friends you are moving in with. If no one will switch, I'd bail and find a new, smaller, crappier place to live.
But that's me. My home is my castle, and having dumb****s in my sanctum is not something I tolerate, at all. I did the dorm room/room mate thing, and after it was all said and done, I'd rather be a hermit than sharing living space any day.
Dont act like a wussy. Put on your grown up voice, act confident. and say with athority Get the @#$% out of my room. Before I do something you wont like.
If he challenges that, just get up look him in the eye, and say, are you sure you want to try me over something as silly as you being in my room.
And he should leave.
And if he's prown to violance and hits you I claim no responsilbity for any injury done because of my advice

like...stop reliving my life, damnit. Except we dubbed ours "Fat Bastard" (long before he existed in Austin Powers' world). He's one miserable mofo. But we got back at him...one night while he was passed out drunk we stripped off his shirt, threw him into the elevator, drew big titties on him, and put a sign around his neck saying "Look at my tits!"
