Tolerance

Tolerance means:

1. capacity to endure pain or hardship
2. the act of allowing something
3. sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own

These three meanings are taken online but something is missing. The question is who tolerates who? Is it me who does the thing that annoys my roommate? Or is it him who should be tolerant to the things I do that annoys him?

Today my roommate got back from his family affair and the first thing he did was, told me to turn my speakers down. I was like WTF. I was watching Tokyo Drift and the volume of the cars drifting was louder than the voice of the actors. So WTF am I to do? Fluctuate the freaking volume to suit to YOUR decible. Not even a hi when he entered. Always me this, me that. So who should tolerate who now?
It didn't stop there. I turned down the volume as per requested by him. Fine. Turned down. Then I proceed to playing DOTA. Play play play and guess what. "Oh, can you turn down the volume. I want to read notes.". WTF. I already turned it down just now. Why don't you stuff cottons into your freaking ears instead of telling me to turn the freaking volume down again.

I would get a set headphone but we do watch movies or tv series from my computer. So what am I to do? Bring both speakers and headphones? Why must I be the one who's bringing them? Why can't he just stuff his ear with HIS earphone and turn on music to filter the NOISE from my computer. I don't even tell him to freaking shut up when he watches comedies.

Give me a freaking break. I don't even blast the freaking volumes like some other people and he should be freaking greatful for that. I catch myself constantly trying to adjust the volume so his Royal Assness don't get irritated to the freaking volume. This happens especially at night when I want to watch my stuff. How am I suppose to predict when the volume will be loud or when its not going to be loud.

Maybe I should set up an alter here and start burning things for prayers. See how tolerant is he when it happens. Why should I be the one tolerating his intolerant to all the things I do? Why can't he freaking do his part of being tolerant.
