I love outing instances of douche baggery. It's not easy being a douche; there's a certain combination of ego, lack of social intelligence, and pizazz that just doesn't come naturally to the average human.

The most recent (but certainly not isolated) act of douchebaggery happened in a certain affinity program housed in the Wheelocks, where students are generally more inclined towards having personal privacy. This guy's been on my radar for quite a while for general douche baggery, but I didn't feel the need to talk about him until I heard about this incident...

This school year, Douche Bag '11 was put with a guy (we'll call him Mr. Victim) who had moved into their new two-room double over the interim, before fall quarter began. Mr. Victim did something peculiar however, he set up house in the outer room, even though he was the first one to move in, and had every right to take the inner room. This is peculiar because the large majority of people in East Wheelock prefer the inner room, where you have more privacy and quiet.

When Mr. Victim was asked why he didn't occupy the inner room, he said that his roommate Douche asked for it, and he wanted to be polite.

Douche's justification? He had said his religion did not allow meat to cross his living space, thus, he could not have anyone who ate meat walk through his room.

This led me to do some minor sleuthing.

I found out that yes, while Douche's vegetarian religion does not allow meat to cross living spaces, it's a rather obscure and rarely followed rule.

Not only that, I have heard from various sources that Douche has in fact allowed several carnivorous acquaintances to go into his room, and still continues to do so.

Bottom line: Douche Bag blatantly used his religion to obnoxiously take advantage of his roommate and claim the inner room.

Edit: I've just been notified that as of last week, Mr. Victim had moved out of the room. We are in the third week of school. Wow.
