During this time, he has the room all to himself (he only has 2-3 morning classes). One day I didn't go to work, so I saw what he does with his time - he plays solitaire all day long and listens to Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey and their Japanese alternatives (that's pretty ghey if you ask me)...while he is listening to that crap, I always put my headphones on. The opposite is not true, however.
So whenever I come back from work, he is always in the room listening to that crap. Eventually, at some point he goes somewhere for a while. At this point, I'm thinking - my turn. So I crank up the volume (only to about 50%) on my JBL's and play Deep Purple, Whitesnake, AC/DC etc. He then returns to the room, and tries to play his music while mine is still playing! Of course, he has no chance with his tiny laptop speakers...Eventually, he gives up after 15 minutes and turns it off and leaves the room again, obviously annoyed by me.
I've had similar problems in the past with other roomates. For example, I'm in the room - watching some movie on the computer. My roomate comes in the room and decides that he is going to watch TV at the same time, and the war of the speakers begins once again.
Am I an asshole? Am I doing something wrong?
To put bluntly, you're both assholes, headphones and PMPs were invented for a reason and both of you should be using them. Some may not like your particular taste in music or like a nice quiet and serene environment. There's no reason for a war of the speakers quite frankly and its almost an ego-tistical battle for patheticness to partake in one if you ask me.
