Roommate stories

[sasaxrah]

My 2 roommates, a couple, are currently in a big fight. Overall they're really great roommates but now it's kind of Awkward City.

Share your roommate stories here! Good roommates? Bad roommates? Fucking insane roommates? Do tell!

My former roommate Glen was fucking awesome. Best roommate
I could ever ask for. My current roomie, a young twenty something
girl fresh out of college, working her first real job, is pretty cool too.
But that's not very exciting. Great thread, I can't wait to read the
horror stories! 😀

Are you renting out a bedroom in your new house??? Very smart.

Are you renting out a bedroom in your new house??? Very smart.

I am, and my main reason for doing so was because I have a
long commute, and am gone for 11+ hours each day, and I
wanted to have someone else around so my dogs weren't in
their kennels for so long. With both roomies I've had, we've
had great schedules. My current one is often off on one or
two weekdays each week, and works every other weekend.
So the weens are getting spoiled, which I love. I will say, the
extra money each month is great. Makes the budget much
more fluid than if I were living alone. I was roommate-less
for a few months when I first bought the house, and paying
for house updates sans a roommate made my budget go

I came home from the gym one day and my roomie has polished off 3/4 a quart of tequila and 1/4 of a strawberry rhubarb pie. He had a bad day at work. 😀

Anywho, I put him down on the couch and let him finish the tequila while stumbling through a babbling drunken stupor while I sat at the other end of the couch and played Grandia. Anyway, after about an hour and a half, his stomach decided that it'd had enough. He went to the washroom to clean himself up. Then went to bed while I cleaned the living room.

Oddly enough, he was sober the next morning.

I miss my roomies.... 🙁

I had a roommate for about a month. Overall, he was great to have around. But one day, I came home and found him taking pictures of himself dressed in my girly clothes...

I never could look at him the same after that

my roomate freshman year of college was pretty awful. worst event was when he banged a chick when i was in the room sleeping........on the top bunk.

During my brief stint at college I had a horrible roommate. She was a very pushy person and one day decided that she was going to completely change the lay out of the room. We had so other minor disagreements but for this I told her no way. I liked where things were. Well next day I am up late working on a paper and she comes in and tells me that she has the perfect solution; I'm moving rooms. She had taken it upon herself to talk with people and file a room change. So around midnight she starts moving my things while I work and I just got pissed told her to back off and did it myself. Later she was taking her room the way she wanted and pissed off the guys downstairs.

I had always wished my roommate had done something like this. I had so many great ideas to creep them out and ruin their mood. Get out of bed turn on the light and stare at them; make masturbation noises; Get out of bed turn on the light, walk out of the dorm room and leave the door wide open; Call up a friend and talk about your roommate is having sex while you're there, then hold the phone up right next to them so your friend can hear.... oh the possibilities.

I lived in a house with 5 other people, and 2 of them were really religious Catholics, and they brought home this 5 foot tall statue of Mary from church... I forget why. Anyway, they left it in the living room for a few days, and it started creeping out me and one of my other roommates, so we jokingly started talking about how we should start hiding it around the house. The next morning I woke up to a giant statue of Mary staring down at me.

Used to live with this chick. Ex-cheerleader. Tickled her a lot. She was hot. The end.

Another one was a religious extremist. I remember watching Pulp Fiction for the very first time and being told I was going to go to hell because of it.

Same girl would listen to Veggie Tales in her car at full blast and sing along with them while my car was being worked on.

Another one was a dude who got drunk and asked me if I ever shaved my nuts or was ever attracted to other guys. Instead of leaving out the front door, he would climb out of his window. Same guy also once rolled out of a moving car screaming, "YOU'RE NOT NICE!" at the girl who was driving.

Another girl let her cats shit in her bathtub.

^LOL! Some interesting experiences there, Marquis 😀 Veggie Tales... for real?

My roommate in college was pretty awesome... we're still very close friends. But there were times I couldnt' stand living with him, lol. I'm not a complete neat freak, but I like things to at least be semi-presentable, ya know? He on the other hand, could be a complete slob.... and I always found myself doing the bulk of the cleaning around the joint.

We did throw some epic parties though... so that always made it all better 😀

Ooooh yes. Every day.

Sadly all true. 😛

I know someone who somehow wound up living with a crack ***** with a thug who just got released from prison and some other guy who lived with him for a few months before escaping to Brazil.

Welcome to LA.

This is amazing.

I've only had one roommate and that was at NEST. I teased her that she snored. She didn't, actually.


The End.

FireGuardian: I'm amazed that the college dorm authorities allowed your roommate to get away with finding a new room for you and coercively moving you into it, rather than finding a new room for herself. Did you even attempt to point out to the authorities that she was the one who needed to move if she didn't want to share a room with you?

My roommate experiences freshman year in college were not so good. The year started out with freshmen in triples. My two roommates had already bonded before I even arrived, so I was already the odd man out. Surprisingly, the guy I made a good connection with on the phone was the one who was a complete asshole to me in person from day one. A vacancy opened up, and the only reason I wasn't the one to move was that the guy with the vacancy didn't want me either. So the asshole moved but remained a constant visitor to the room. When the semester ended, my other roommate moved in with the asshole and I got a new roommate. Second semester, my new roommate formed a friendship with the asshole, so now I still wasn't rid of the asshole as a constant visitor to the room. Things with roommates were better in the years that followed. Nowadays I live alone and don't miss the roommate life at all.

Now I feel as though my whole life has been completely boring!

I came home the other day and there was this massive package of plastic red cups on the dining table. I asked my roommate if he was planning a party. His reply, "No, I just don't want to have to wash the glasses. This is so much easier." 😵

AHAHAHAHA...
AHAHAH HA HA ..

I'm sorry, it had to be done.

OT: I've never had a roommate that wasn't a friend of mine first. I lived with a couple friends of mine for a few months and it was actually kinda like an extended slumber party. One of my friends talks in her sleep and the other one kept trying to cop a feel on me in the dark. Other than that it was rather enjoyable. I don't think, though, I could live with a stranger. Home is a place I'm meant to be comfortable in.

Try having a turkish roommate who thought she was skinny enough to wear skinny jeans, thought the room was hers and hers alone, was a wanna-be emo punk goth, who talked turkish on the phone with her parents about me, and then skyped with her other emo punk goth friends 24/7. Good times ... good times ...
Luckily she moved out second semester because we did not get along. At all.

Along with her ... I had a furry who pretty much kept to herself with her bucket of pickles.
Although one day she brought in some ants from outside and let them crawl around the room.
She kinda scared me...but I kept my distance and was nice to her. She was one of those people who had the potential to kill the whole school.

Then there was miss preppy high maintenance girl.
She was in all of my classes, never did any of the homework, and went home every weekend.
But, fortunately, we got along well enough. 🙂

Eventually, after turkish girl left, we had to get a 4th roommate.
She seemed cool at first... but the smell of weed and loud music the first night she was there when my roommate and I had to be up at 8am was not so cool.
A couple of weeks later her and her boyfriend were in the kitchen [which is about the size of a closet] on an air mattress.

Never go to art school!

 

[Tickle Fiend]

I left my room at 2am to get something to drink and saw my roommate standing naked at the fridge after having sex with his g/f. All I could do was laugh and go back in my room.

The same guy got into it with his g/f one night. They argued for a long time and she ended up destroying his room. He told her to leave, she didn't get the hint and we ended up physically removing her from our place. The end.

I dont have a roommate now, but in college I had a couple of roommates from hell.

In Freshman year, first semester, my roommate was pledging a fraternity. He used to set his snooze alarm to go off early in the morning, many times, waking me up. I tried to negotiate with him, but he wouldnt listen. Finally, after attempted mediation by housing, he was evicted from the room, for violation of the university's "no pets" rule, for having a lab rat living in the room with us.

In Senior Year, I had another pill of a roommate, but I didnt have any problems with him. When I returned to school that year, my academic advisor told me he was a "bad influence", and didnt want me living with him. His side of the room was an absolute pig sty, and his frat brothers used to call the room at all hours, until I convinced him to let me take the phone off the hook, so I could sleep, and let the voice mail take it. I didnt fight with him, luckily, but he was not well liked.

Those were my two worst roommates.
