<p>One of my sister's friend's roommate would turned the lights off whenever she felt like it. She resented the fact that my sister's friend listened to Tupac and didn't understand how she turned down Harvard,Yale, and Princeton. When she was taking out her extensions, the roommate thought she had cancer. What's worse is when she informed her friends mom that she was Washington D.C., the mom replied, "Oh, ever been shot?"</p>
<p>notre, I don't get it. What does being shot have to do with anything?</p>
<p>the mom apparently assumed that since she's from DC she'd been shot before. since DC has a high crime rate and the worst public HS system in the country.</p>
<p>Cards4Life is correct.</p>
<p>I had a friend who was kinda uptight and conservative (though a bit of a drunk) whose roommate who:
- was a pothead (in a room with a very tiny inoperable window)
- didn't shower
- had Torrette's and didn't take his medication
- played World of Warcraft until 5 am every morning (my friend was a light sleeper, early-to-bed type)
- and best of all, tried to sell my friend's computer for money to buy pot and play more WoW!</p>
<p>Well it's not the worst on here, but it's bad enough.
First semester this year (sophomore year), my roommate was pretty strange. The first clue should have come when I walked into the room one night after a shower and found she and a guy having a "dance party" (really, they were just dancing), lights off, music blasting (it was close to midnight), waving around little flashlights to make it seem more like a dance club I guess. What made it really weird was the fact that they were dancing to Russian pop music (yeah, the words were in Russian). She did own headphones, but even when she wasn't having these "dance parties" she'd regularly listen to her Russian pop music at really loud volumes, without headphones. She also had no problem sitting in front of the tv for half a day watching history channel stuff, and Russian movies (again, in Russian). And no she is not Russian. </p>
<p>Around the end of October, her boyfriend was up for a weekend, just like every weekend. Only apparently they couldn't find another friend for him to stay with, so he spent the night in our room. Only I didn't find this out (I went to bed when they were looking for a place for him to stay), until I was woken up by them at 2 am. I was sleeping in the bottom bunk. They were having sex in the top bunk. It ended quickly enough, so I went back to sleep, only to be woken up again, at 8 am by the same thing. And thanks to the instability of school bunks, my bed was moving quite a bit. A month or so later they decided to go at it again, while they knew I was awake and in the room.</p>
<p>Then of course there was her pile of plants she got from botony class. She would take anything she could get for free, including these plants (a problem for those of us with allergies). At one point, our fridge was filled with bags of basil, not because you can actually use it in a dorm (you can't), but because it was free.</p>
<p>She thoroughly enjoyed speaking Russian to me, just because she knew I couldn't understand it. You could tell just by looking at her that she was speaking it just to tick me off</p>
<p>And then there were the laundry piles. She'd strip in front of her dresser, and just leave the clothes there. I'm not kidding; she'd have dirty underwear sitting on the floor for two weeks. And still on the topic of gross habits, she'd only take her trash out about once a month. Our room REEKED</p>
<p>After reading this thread, I'm glad that I've gone to the gym and worked out for as long as I have. It might sound assy, but I want to be as intiminidating as possible so my roomate knows not to screw with me.</p>
<p>Umm monarchs did you do anything about it....</p>
<p>Are you sure that was basil in the fridge???</p>
