<p>How many of you guys had really weird roommates? What made them so weird? Who got really bad roommates that you really hated? What did they do to **** you off so much? </p>
<p>What to avoid when looking for roommates and how to adjust to a bad roommate?</p>
<p>I had a terrible roommate freshman year.
I couldn’t believe how filthy he was. For instance he flushed the toilet 30% (including no. 2) of the time and never washed his hands after using them. There was also air pollution with his piles of laundry lying around the floor and his excessive amounts of weed.
I finally moved out spring quarter.</p>
<p>My 2nd year roommate was a complete slob. His whole half of the room was COVERED with papers/trash all over the floor and desk. You literally couldnt see the carpet. And he played WoW till all hours of the morning.</p>
<p>my first year suitemate would throw my clothes on the floor and take my shower spot, watch porn and pirate mp3s on my desktop computer when i was gone for thanksgiving, call in the RA when we had 15 people for a bday party and didnt even open any alcohol yet (still had to pour all of it out), and set fire to my carpet when he was trying to show me his “awesome” lighter trick.</p>
<p>Roommate1: Constantly turning the AC to the lowest setting b/c he could not sleep unless it’s super cold.</p>
<p>Suite mate1: Literally walked out of the shower without wiping himself down with a towel. Therefore I walk into the bathroom area and almost slip on a puddle of water.</p>
<p>Suite mate2: Suite mate1 switched rooms with someone else so we had no more water on the bathroom floor. #2 however was kind of weird with OCD. Lined up shampoo bottles in the shower in alphabetical order. Took like almost 1 hour showers. Played the same linkin park songs over and over again. Also played them loudly late at night. It seems he not like my roommate blowing his nose loudly and told him to shut up. We are in the neighoring room though ***!</p>
<p>I don’t think living habits can be conveyed over the phone o_O. They can’t even be conveyed in person…you have to live with someone to know what they’re really like.</p>
<p>Sure, you can tell if someone is more on the shy side or outgoing side on the phone, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with if someone is a good or bad roommate.</p>
<p>my roomates were HORRIBLE. let’s just say it was 3am and we’d still have 87 people in the room, while WE tried to sleep… ugh. so glad i have new ones.</p>
<p>this thread seriously scares me lol, makes me totally regret randoming one of my roommates. I sure hope he doesn’t turn out to be like any of the above described roomies.</p>
