Life dilemma

When you find your situation intolerable, or lets say you have to live with several roommates you dislike and had a fall out with before, you are often faced with hostility, can you really respond . politely, not emotionally? How would deal with them if you were in the situation? ( P.S. Recovering friendship is not an option)

How do I mess with people? There was one time when I was watching TV with my five-year old cousin. He constantly made noises and blocked my vision occasionally, which made me kinda irritated. I called him and made up something like “Hey, do you know there’s a tiger around us? It’s dark outside, right? He might break the window jumping in and eat you whenever a kid makes noises. So just be quiet , ok? The only way to get it through is to pretend that you are asleep. Now come here to me and lie down in my arms. Lets count to three and close your eyes.'' Soon my cousin fell asleep and it was so quiet in the room indeed. But out of my palyful nature I woke him up shortly after he fell asleep and did the trick on him over and over again. The only difference in the trick is that everytime I just need to drag out extra different details of tiger’s story.
