<p>You know how everyone has that ONE roommate at some point in their lives...just someone really eccentric or strange or ridiculously unlovable?</p>
<p>My brother had a triple freshman year, and one of his roommates always used to come home at 3AM, super drunk...so they would drag him out and make him sleep in the halls.</p>
<p>And at a summer program I did at UPenn, I roomed with this girl who was SO into Star Trek...I know some people would love her as a roomie, but it was like she didn't even speak English, she spoke Trekkie. I was so glad to get out of there haha</p>
<p>My roommate and I are complete opposites, but it works. I prefer very dark colors and have a sort of gothic/punk decor, and the first day I walked into our dorm and everything was bright pink. I wanted to puke! But, I’ve gotten used to it since. She is also a major party person and I am not. She comes home at like 2 AM so drunk that I have no idea how she makes it up the stairs. I just laugh at her attempts to make it up to her bed (we loft beds) and go back to sleep.</p>
<p>-1st school, first roommate: ‘Hick’ from New Hampshire. Country music, terrible, obnoxious drunk. Threatened me in my sleep after I was left in an uncompromising situation and had to rat him out.</p>
<p>Transferred.</p>
<p>-2nd school: Skater, wannabe thug who is around 5’8 160, another obnoxious drunk. Woke me up and threatened to kill me at 4 AM after I closed his laptop because the screen brightness kept me up and didnt dim after no use. Accused me of going through his laptop, which I of course did not. Filed a police report and pressed charges. Switched rooms and it was fine.</p>
<p>^^^^dang you just have the worst luck with roommates. Where did you go?</p>
<p>My roommate at a program:
Prank called people at night pretending to be a transformer.
Woke me up by putting a massager to my head.
Sent me a text message saying, “You will die in seven days.”
Followed this girl around and kept stealing her phone.
Made strange sounds in his sleep.
lmao</p>
<p>last year my roommate was awesome and we became best friends. but i transferred this year and now my roommate is horrible. she has her boyfriend over all the time and never even asked if it was okay, she talks on the phone at 2am when i’m sleeping, keeps the tv on all night, and then has the nerve to complain about my desk light being on. OH, and when she moved in, she moved her dresser on my side of the room, moved my desk over, and made me move my stuff to accommodate her. she thinks she’s so entitled. i tried to be nice at first to avoid confrontation but now i just wanna ■■■■ of there. guhhhh. room change process here we come!</p>
<p>I never get tired talking about my roommates. Three so far.</p>
<p>First: Spawn of the devil. Drunk, pot-head. Played music while I was sleeping. Moved my things to her side of the room and USED them. Turned out the light while I was working, plunging me into darkness (I nearly killed her that night). Set her alarm to go off at 3:30 pm every day (when she had class and I was usually in the room) at max volume blasting some heavy metal crap. Talked to the phone to her boyfriend at 3 am. Let her boyfriend sleep in her bed without telling me and left him in the freaking room when she was gone. Got us in huge trouble with the RA. Flooded the room defrosting the fridge. I could go on and on…and on.</p>
<p>Second: Preppy sorority girl. Said sorry to me any time she made any type of noise like closing a drawer or dropping a pen. Went out til 3 am every single night and tried to invite me to sorority things after I repeatedly told her I didn’t want to go. Blasted country music. I wanted to strangle her after two days.</p>
<p>That sorority girl one doesn’t sound bad at all. Sounds more like she was trying to be considerate and friendly to you. Sure, you might not like country music, but I mean, maybe you could have just asked her to put on headphones…</p>
<p>"Mine accidentally shot my laptop with a BB gun. "
I laughed too much at that one!</p>
<p>I know so many people have problems with the roommate that always plays music at night and stuff.
I generally dont have a problem with that, only once there was a girl on my floor who blasted FUNK music freaking 24/7…I mean, really guys. funk music? the genre that like, three people on the whole planet listen to? Mind you, those people live in caves.</p>
<p>“That sorority girl one doesn’t sound bad at all.”</p>
<p>Never said she was bad. My only bad roommate was my first one. That’s just all she did. She was okay. Also didn’t say I don’t like country music. I was actually listening to it right now. I was annoyed because she wouldn’t stop apologizing. After the 12th time in a day it’s not considerate anymore, it’s irritating and unnecessary.</p>
<p>Just imagine someone saying sorry when they unzip their backpack, and when take something out of the backpack and it rubs against the zipper and makes a sound, and then they say sorry after they move stuff around in their drawer for a pen and then sorry when their computer makes that sound when it comes on and sorry for their typing. Every. Single. Day.</p>
<p>Freshman year, 1st roommate: he had requested a private room (standard double with higher rent) and was ****ed off he ended up with a roommate (me) due to 100% occupancy in the dorms. This guy got up every morning, even weekends, at 6 AM and turned on the overhead light plus his desk lamp so he could study. He went to bed at 10PM and wanted lights out, and for me to study elsewhere. I wasn’t to “hang out” in the room with friends while he was there studying or doing independent study, which was anytime he wasn’t in class. And he told me absolutely no women in the room, if I wanted “to do that sort of thing” I should go to her room. I absolutely had no rights whatsoever. I laugh about it now, but it was pure hell that first 10 days or so until he withdrew from school and moved back home. </p>
<p>After the roomie from hell moved out, another guy from down the hall moved in and we get along so well that we’re rooming again this year.</p>
<p>Ahhh I heard singles really stuck.
If I was in a single, I would never leave my room, except for class.
I would have no social life whatsoever.
):</p>
<p>^^
No way, singles would be kickass. I’d have privacy whenever I want it, can invite friends over without having to ask permission. And if I ever get a girlfriend, she can come over too, freely.</p>
i need my space.</p>
