Is there a tactful way to say...

[(Anonymous)]

"Roommate, I really need to start packing, but you're hogging up the room and are generally really annoying to be around, can you please hang out in the lounge or something. You've been in there all fucking weekend watching House at full volume. Please. I need alone time."?

Seriously, I really don't want to be rude but she's placed herself in the center of already small room and have ignored any hints that I kind of need to pack. I'm leaving tomorrow and I have class most of the day, I'm not going to have a lot of time to pack otherwise. Any advice?

Stop being polite and start being direct. Pretty much exactly how you said it already is the way to go.

Here's how I'd phrase it:

"I really need some more space to get my things packed, could you go out for a while tonight?"

Ask them to help you pack/clean/whatever. That usually sends people like that packing (pun unintended) and they'll get out of your way.

Be direct and stop hoping your roommate will pick up on vague hints and psychic messages.

"Roommate, could you do me a huge favor and give me some space tonight? I really need to pack and could use some alone time while I do it."

OP-

Alright. I asked her to leave. She said no - since she's working on her bed and now she has a friend over... I guess that's that then. : /

Now would be when I would start blasting The Best of Vivaldi at full volume. If she's going to be a twat and you're not going to have live with her anymore, you might as well have a row.

ask her if she can at least move out of your way

Re: Is there a tactful way to say...

Suuuck. If you're still packing, just moving around where you need to be to pack. I might excuse me, or I might not. She'll either get fed up and leave, or explode. You've made yourself clear, and you get this shit done, son, so fuck her and do what you need to.

welp, your roommate is a jerk.

late comment is late, but I hope you got your packing done. and I hope it signifies you won't have to live with this roommate again!

Re: Is there a tactful way to say...

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. Might as well be straight and to the point.

Why do you need alone time to pack? Just pack. Take up literally every other inch of the room that isn't the chair the room mate is sitting in if you need to, and fuck what they have to say about it.
