<p>So, the school year either has ended or is about to end for many of us. </p>
<p>For those of us who've been stuck with horrible roommates this past year, let's celebrate and tell our stories!</p>
<p>Oh I’m depressed :(. My roommate moved out to be an RA on another hall and I got the room to myself for a while. I’ve been spoiled. I liked my old roommate and I like the girl I’m living with next year…but still…my own room…it was so nice :p. Back to using headphones. :(</p>
<p>Come on, there must be more people who’ve had horrible roommates this year! Bump.</p>
<p>Yeah, two of my suitemates were terrible, and I’m glad I never get to see them again. One was just…weird, and another one was the annoying frat boy type.</p>
<p>I didn’t have a roommate this year. </p>
<p>But there’s some terrible people on my floor I’m happy to be rid of! :**D God. Why am I returning to the dorms for a third year next year. ;_;</p>
<p>I removed my roommate from my facebook friends the moment the door closed behind her. I don’t even know where to start. </p>
<p>Single with a private bathroom next year! Thank the lord. And no more stinky boys prancing around in their underpants, and no more psychologically disturbed roommates who think they can do no wrong and get their feelings hurt when the wind blows the wrong way.</p>
<p>My roommate wasn’t horrible…but I’m not one who likes sharing a room…at all…so my roommate constantly *<strong><em>ed me off. Her presence alone was enough. She did things too that were just UGH. Like leaving her *</em></strong> all over the place and in my way, typing obnoxiously loudly ALL DAY LONG and banging on my bed every time she got on or off hers.</p>
<p>Believe you me, if I could have a single I would…and I’m gonna beg to get one for next year because I just hate living with people…but at my school pretty much the only people with singles are RAs, the lucky people in the 9 person suites with the single room and people who have medical conditions/disabilities that need singles because of that.</p>

<p>My roommate is a disgusting slob, not to mention completely psychotic.
She used to be friends with our two neighbors (who have been friends with me since starting college and introduced us), now they hate her as much as I do.
Some horrible things that she’s done:
-Leaves the door unlocked and wide open in a hallway full of creeps when she leaves the room (I’m in the sketchiest dorm on campus, as luck would have it)…I’ve had to tell her to stop multiple times throughout the year and yet she has done it 5 times in the past two weeks
-Sleeps about 18-20 hours a day…I’m not even exaggerating at all. She literally is awake maybe 4 hours a day on average. Because of this I can barely be in my room.
-Also leaves out old food all over, despite my pleas not to. Makes our room smell disgusting.
-Practices her opera singing in our room. (She’s a vocal music major). NOT COOL.
-Oh yeah, and the best one…when she is awake, she’s always on the phone with her “Goobah” (her creepy boyfriend), talking baby talk because they’re not adults or anything, and fighting with him about how he hasn’t been able to afford to drive 5 hours to visit her when he just got laid off of his job. She’s threatened on more than one occasion to drink nail polish remover if he doesn’t come visit. These are the times that I wish she would keep promises.</p>
<p>Woah ChelseaRose! That’s intense o___O
Ugh, I’m still kicking myself for volunteering to switch with my first roomie’s friend!
Codes? Because I can’t tell stories simply when they involved a lot of the same gender XD
Roomie: T, Roomie’s friend: L, new roomie: O</p>
<p>So T’s friend L was having trouble with O, I never really asked beyond “light sleeper, early classes, etc”. I met them and both seemed nice enough so I switched (L even paid the $200 difference between the dorms)
But once I moved in it got weird for me. O would constantly turn her music off the second I opened the door and then restart it as soon as I left. And she asked me to turn my alarm clocks off, because you know I don’t have morning classes or anything.
I mean sure, T once sprayed all my stuff with Raid because we had bugs and she couldn’t wait to ask me to move my stuff or spray them myself but sheesh. Other than that she was really sweet. We talked every once in a while and I barely exchanged words with O. <em>sigh</em>
Living with a friend next year, hopefully it’s better! And I’ll be here over summer so I may have another story, hope not! XD</p>
<p>I think college attract a lot of weird and rude psychotic people. The stories that you guys are sharing are similar to those that I hear from other people: that one obnoxious roommate that lack any respect for themselves and others, or the ones that is always fighting with their boyfriend or bringing back guys to your room like it’s a brothel. ChelseaRose, I think yours is the worst I’ve heard. That sucks.</p>
<p>I was on a good roommate streak, until my roommate left to study abroad. SO this semester, I got stuck with a girl who just transferred. Things were well until she brought this female guest to stay over without my permission. I let it go. The guest stayed for 2 nights then disappeared. About 1 week later, the guest came back (again, my roommate failed to consult me). Her guest stayed over for A WEEK. A whole freaking week in the middle of midterms. And she would leave the guest in the room when both of us had classes, which made me very cautious with any valuables I had (I just don’t trust anybody).</p>
<p>I knew nothing about this girl. All I knew is that the guest had a bad temper problem and she wasn’t a student. I couldn’t confront my roommate about it because the girl was always there. And considering that this guest was not easy (she threatened to beat up some guy on my floor because he “gave her a nasty look” and somehow found joy in watching Youtube videos of girls beating each other up in the street), I feared that I would have 2 people against me. I moved out of there. I never told my roommate why, but I think she got the picture. It’s awkward when I see her around campus. I don’t even want to say hi to her anymore. The thing that sucks is that everything between us was going well until the whole guest situation. </p>
<p>I hated myself after that dilemma for a good two weeks. I felt so powerless and weak because I couldn’t even stand up for myself. I was happy to get out of that dorm though, because besides that whole roommate dilemma, I always had problem with the noise level on my floor. A guy next door playing Guitar Hero and singing at 3am. Blasting a stereo at 2 in the morning. Running up and down the hallways like toddlers at 2 in the morning. And my R.A. was freaking horrible! I don’t know how he got the job. The thing I hate about R.A.s sometimes is that with the upperclassman dorms, some of these R.A.s are good friends with the kids who are living there, so they are, of course, lenient. I couldn’t turn to him for nothing.</p>
<p>I got along pretty well with my roommates. My only complaint is that he didn’t really make an effort to keep his side of the room relatively clean, it looked like a disaster zone.</p>
<p>This isn’t really my story but a close friend’s</p>
<p>He had a suitemate whose religion prohibited the use of toilet tissue (I don’t remeber what religion, if you guys know that would be great). So since he didn’t use tissue, whenever he did #2 he would clean himself by pouring water down his butt. The problem was that when he got up he would still be dripping and would therefore leave brown drops all over the toilet seat and all over the bathroom floor (why he was not wearing pants in the bathroom I do not know). It was really gross >.< The first time it happened my friend politely told him to be neater. But it kept happening. Towards the end of the semester my friend had gone to confront him and the guy ended up punching him. They both fought and ended up getting kicked out of the dorm.</p>
<p>^ Punkchique, I know many Muslims believe in being completely clean before prayer, so they often do “rinse off” after using the restroom, but they still use toilet paper. Not sure of any other religions with paper control. That story is just… well, disgusting!</p>
<p>I started with a nice roommate who was just a bit of a loner or had social anxiety (only left for classes, didn’t speak to people, let her phone go to voicemail so she wouldn’t have to speak). Didn’t bother me much, but she had to leave due to financial issues.</p>
<p>Never actually met the second one. She moved her stuff in and out in one day while I was in classes and left me a nice note on the door just saying “F*GGOT”. [I work for an LGBT group, so I do have one or two gay rights posters on my wall.] Very glad I never met her.</p>
<p>The third still gives me nightmares. The first night she moved in, I was working late. When I got back, there were… male stains from physical intimacy on my bed. Every night for the next three months, her boyfriend would come over, they’d have sex, and then he’d spent the next day in our room. [Our dorm policy is only that guests have to leave for a few minutes every three days, and since no one bothered to give us a roommate contract despite my asking, I had no say in how often he could visit.] Best part: they were spending so much time together because he just got out of his third year in prison. And he was a good ten years older than her [and she was 5 years older than me].
Ironically, she was also a die-hard Christian. The first day, she asked me to take my posters down since they offended her. I asked her to take her crucifix down since it offended me, so everything stayed up. She would leave me Bible passages taped to my desk, mostly about homosexuality and Sodom. Besides a collection of Bibles, her bookcase also had a collection of books about “getting over your eating disorder.” More than once, I came home to her vomiting in a trashcan on my side of the room, then leaving and not throwing it out for a few hours.
When she called home, it usually began with, “Yeah, the f*ggot’s here, so I can’t say much.”
Thankfully, she moved out three months after because God told her that I was ruining her connection with Him and she would feel closer to Him in another dorm. Amen.</p>
<p>@punkchique - Oh lord.
@atomic - “I asked her to take her crucifix down since it offended me…” Lol. Hopefully you never have to see any of those close-minded, unworldly people again.</p>
<p>My roommate this year drove me insane. She was a theatre major and, like ChelseaRose’s roommate, slept about 18 hours a day. Not kidding. She would complain bitterly about her ‘Set Design Lab’, and how she hated going and painting theatre sets for three hours every Wednesday. I’m premed, and had three separate labs this semester, and would have gladly given up working with chemicals and writing lab reports every week to play with paint and a staple gun.</p>
<p>She was also a vegetarian, and would comment every time I would eat dinner that had some meat component to it. Hulu was her religion, and she would watch HOURS of TV episodes daily. She only had classes from 8-11am everyday, so after that she either slept or watched TV. Because she had nothing to do, she started partying on Thursday nights, are was therefore drunk/high through Sunday afternoons.</p>
<p>Every day, I typically left the room at 7:45am, and would return around 10pm or so, having spent the day in classes or at the library. A couple of weeks ago, I came back to the room around 7pm, and she turned around and said, “Oh, are you back for the night? Like, you’re not going back to the library?” I almost exploded. Seriously?? She’s in the room nearly 20 hours a day, and she couldn’t handle me coming home a few hours early??</p>
<p>Oh, and she used this aerosol static guard, which had the most pungent smell. She would come back from doing laundry, and then spray clothes for nearly 30min while she put them away.</p>
<p>She left last night, and she was getting semi-emotional as she was leaving. I, however, was skyping, didn’t bother to get off, and gave her a quick wave of acknowledgement. I had to stop myself from saying, "Peace out, Loserface. Good luck finding a career with a theatre major, and my apologies to your parents for they having to spend 40K a year on classes you could take at your local community college. " Thank God I’m transferring and never have to see her again.</p>
<p>My roommate was a total scumbag. At first he seemed pretty cool, but then I realized that he was one of those kids who wasn’t really able to make ‘real’ friendships but rather stuck around the cool people and did whatever they wanted. </p>
<p>At first, there were minor things but generally they didn’t bother me - namely like him going to sleep at 4 a.m. everyday, being the lightest-sleeper I’ve ever seen, waking up whenever I even moved, sleeping everyday till around 1 pm (missing most of his classes), and always being in the room 24/7 (he wasn’t really involved in anything) but it was bearable. </p>
<p>Then the worst happened - he became a groupie with some drug-addicted losers on my floor, and would constantly hang out with them. If he had done that outside the room, I would have been ok, but he would bring those creeps everyday or every second day into the room to waste time until like 3 a.m. And these people were total creeps too - I was afraid to fall asleep with them in the room. He would also occasionally have disputes with them which would lead to pranks on our room, often very disgusting, which was extremely annoying. Eventually after like 4 months of this, I had an argument with him and his creeper friends, and they stayed out for the next 2 months or so with him only occasionally bringing them in now. </p>
<p>Yet after he stopped that, he got a PS2 and began playing it literally somewhere between 5-6 hours per day. He would bring him and a group of his fellow friends (at least these people were less creepy, but still) and play all the time, usually in the late afternoon and late night from 11 pm to 1 a.m. or so. Attempts to ask him to be more considerate and play only during more reasonable hours failed, as this was annoying because it was every night, and they weren’t just quietly playing, but rather screaming and jumping around, etc.</p>
<p>And then one day he accused me of being a bad roommate. I laughed at that so hard. I’m just glad to be done with that inconsiderate psychopath.</p>
<p>Mine smells like feet even after he showers, is medicated to the point of being a moron, sleeps for about 16 hours a day, only listen to ridiculous Norwegian black metal, is sloppy as all hell, and lastly is the most awkward person on the earth.</p>
<p>AtomicCafe you shoulda told her that since she was having sex out of wedlock that she’s gonna go to Hell, and handed her some printouts of passages in the bible that make that clear. She either woulda stopped or her head would have exploded trying to process it.</p>
<p>Both roommates I’ve had were great. First one was pretty damn messy but he was an awesome dude, good friend. Second one was pretty inward, so he didn’t talk much, but he was very neat and was friendly when he did talk.</p>
<p>I wonder how many of our roommates secretly or not so secretly hated us back.</p>
<p>I know mine didn’t like me. XD I was too uncool for her. And when she started being overtly mean about it I really stopped going out of my way to avoid being inconsiderate unless directly asked, and she NEVER said anything no matter how annoyed she got. Oh well. I tried to transfer out to a different dorm all year round so maybe she could have her “cool” roommate but I couldn’t find another room.</p>
<p>AtomicCafe, I know this girl who had a similar roommate like yours. The roommate was a religious freak that left around notes about homosexuality (the girl I know is a lesbian), yet this was the roommate had the nerve to bring different guys to the dorm, sexiling my friend, and leaving around used condoms. How can you say you live by the bible and preach hate, yet you are bringing home a different guy every week? Isn’t pre-marital sex looked down on in the bible? That’s just disgustingly hypocritical.</p>
