Ohh, have I had some seriously bad roommates in the past. So bad, I took one to court in an attempt to get owed rent money, had a restraining order, got phone calls for MONTHS from her creditors because she would not change her phone number, etc....THAT bad.

I had a different roommate get pregnant. That was fun. Can I just tell you how much fun living with a pregnant person isn't...Ohh yeah, that was a party.

I had another roommate leave her..um...toys...on the top of the piano in our living room...

Then there was the girl who was in ROTC, and was up every morning at something like 4 AM and turned on all the lights, used her blow drier, made a ton of noise....and wouldn't let me use her telephone or microwave even though we lived in the same tiny box of a dorm...

So I am curious, how about you? Tell me about em, cause I am curious if I am the only one cursed to have the worst roommates in the cosmos.

Let's make this "funny how bad it was (is) roommate story time" though not too "I hate the (four letter word filled post)" time.

I always hear the worst stories about this. Go to youtube and look up roommate Christmas by makemebad35 or something like that. It's really funny.

Technically not a roommate.... but my sister's boyfriend came to stay with her and us (the family). He was destructive, inconsiderate, ate us out of house and home, wasteful and wasn't looking for a new job. :(

My parents sent him back to his parents to deal with... :)

Well my first roommate skipped out 2 days before rent was due.....with all the rent. She also sold all my cds and some of my clothes while I was working, she even left the receipts saying how much she got for them on the kitchen table. The second roommate told me she was happiest when she was angry, I made her ecstatic. She had weird jealous tantrums when I had friends or dates over, she even ran up to a party that I was at and told me I had to come home and when I did asking her why she didn't have a reason.

...88 females, one compartment/room.... THIS WAS A FISHBOWL OF HORMONES :o
everyday was a Koombaiah session on how we "need to work together" and every night it was "HEY!! YA'LL NEED TO SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP!!!" (i was never the one yelling it, but the arpoc was... and my bunk was right next to hers :gonk::headdesk:..
hmmm.. lot's more.. but can't recall all moments..
and currently now in Naval Training Command (HOO YAH DONE WITH BOOT CAMP!!!) and hopefully i'll be going to the fleet soon... but so far i'm now in some barracks, in a room that fits 4.. so i got 3 roommates down (yay, not so rowdy... gah, the hall is too loud :o) :offtopic: well.. so far one roommate we came out of the same division in Bootcamp together.... and well, she's like 30 in a room full of 18-20's :insane: she keeps it hot as africa when the window isn't open... cold when it is... she decided to take it upon herself to make the "Rules of the Room" (bleh:angry:) and so we can't talk on our cells in the quiet room and such crap... i seem to get in an aurgument with her every night bout some sort of stupid something. hmm.. i think she's an anarchist... she's always talkin bout hatin taxes, hatein welfare 'people should earn their keep.. if they want an apple they should grow said apple' and such... eh... >.> such other stuff... but i can't recall all cause it's late :sleep:

HA! How many home "grown by her own hand" apples has she eaten lately! What a stupid set of arguements. If welfare was not needed, it would not exist. Ok, off my soapbox I will step. Good luck with her.

I wouldn't be able to tolerate roommates. I'm really introverted and have little patience, so the combination is bad enough already. But I guess it's coming up sooner or later (heading off to college in a year and a half) and I might room with someone.

Alright so this story is not about my experiences, but my dad's lol. I've gone to his house and he has roommates now. Well, not just one... but many! There are over 6 kids I think, and two sets of parents or whatever... I don't know but there's too many people. They live upstairs while my dad has to sleep downstairs. But the kids are everywhere, they borrow my dad's computer and stuff lol, and the adults... don't get me started on them lol. I went there recently and took my boyfriend with me... well they were having some small party or whatever. But boy can they drink... >.>;;; I kinda feel sorry for my dad because they really don't have any respect or manners while living in his house... V.V

My roommate got married mid-semester so that her boyfriend could get his green card.
They fought constantly, bickered on the phone late every night, and he was her first boyfriend, so she was completely inexperienced with everything.

I would have gotten along with her if there hadn't been so many issues about it all.

I have had a few bad roommate stories. First year of college I got a regular go out and party kinda girl and she and I had many fights over her not locking the door, bringing over boys and so on. She did a fair number of nights that either ended with either sandwich making or her clearing off flat surfaces due to her drunken state. Even in her un-intoxicated state she was pretty funny as I had to teach her to address an envelope at one point.
She ended up moving out however and since then I have tried to remain roommate less... far to much drama.

We took in my friend back in Nov. because she couldn't handle living in a dorm and was having a break down. So we had to share a room.

After 2 months of living in our house she was like "I don't like doing dishes, so Im not going to do them anymore". At the time she only did them like once a week if I was lucky.
3 weeks later my mom left her a note to do the dishes, she got so pissed off and stormed into my/our room when I sleeping 5 times in like 3 mins, then left the house the hole day. Came back and cried to me when I told her the note was not from me, but my mom. Then she said we would go back to rotating dishes. But that never happened.

Then after reading break when she came back, she cried to me again saying shit like "Oh i feel bad for not doing dishes and helping clean, i just don't know what to do around here" She had been living here for months and knew what she could help out with, but decide not to. Then srsly 30 mins after she cried to me about not helping around the house, I asked her if she was going to help me clean that weekend and she said "NO" with a glare. WTF. But she did offer to rotate dishes again.

2 weeks later, it was her dish night and she didn't do them (again). So I asked her why. We ended up getting in a fight about it and she moved out.

My roommate moved out because i asked her why she didn't do the dishes.

A nice thing to note is, she would constantly say she wouldn't want to live with this friend we have because she seemed like the person to just move out with out notice. OH but then she did it.

There is so much more I can rant about.

I had this one girl that lived with for a while that would not touch dishes or pick up a whole lot. When we tried to have a day where we all would clean up she would pick up some things here and there as long as she didn't have to get up from where she was sitting XD At least she did laundry I guess... >.>;;; she didn't make very big loads though for some reason even though it was always on XL. she was a water waster.

I think my worst roomamte was my dad. I moved back to my home state and we got a condo together when he got a divorce. Don't get me wrong he's a great guy but I saw how mush of his raising was more do as I say and not as I do. He would drink and drive and normally that would not bother as much with a roommate except he was my dad and doing it on a motorcyle. He would obviously come home annoyingly drunk and wake me up at like 4am when i had to get up by 8 to go to wrok. To go with that we are very much oppisites he is a very neat freak everything has its palce and as soon as your done with it it goes back immeadiately, or he goes on a rampage. I'm more of a leave it where I put for now and then clean hard onece a week while just tidying up throughout the week.

Worst I've had is a roommate who would talk on the phone with her boyfriend until all hours of the night. I couldn't have been happier when she got a cordless and went outside to talk. <.<

My first roommate was a real doozy >>
She was constantly involved in my business, not to mention copied off of a mutual friend's lab report which nearly resulted expulsion.
She also wouldn't wash her dirty clothes - she would usually just febreez them ><
I also walked in on her and our friend's ex making out. Our friend and her ex didn't even break up in a day and she's already pulling that? Not to mention our friend was torn up about the break up and totally trusted my roomy for advice.
And then half-way through the year she blasted me resulting in my first panic attack.
I wanted out. Definitely made my first year the WORST experience ever.

I'm not sure about other people being a bad roommate but I think I am one myself o_o

I moved in with my sister for a few weeks, and her roommates made sure that the stuff in the kitchen were always seperated, such as "this shelf is ours, that shelf is yours" and so on. That's reasonable, but then one day I got really hungry, my sister and her boyfriend were out, and I was too young to drive let alone I didn't even know where to go for food. So I was home alone basically, and I used a bit of their peanut butter! D: < I'm bad, aren't I. Rofl. XD

I'm glad my bad roomate experience were very short. I lived with a roomate during summer school who got increasing weird and crazy. Looking back, I think she had some kind of anti social disorder.

........ Actually, I've heard that I'm the bad roommate. :sweat:

The problem is that I virtually work third shift, and so take late morning classes and get back between three and four in the morning from work. Now, if I don't want to turn on my light and wake up my roommate, I have to try and quietly find a location for my bag in the morning; it kind of ends up SOMEWHERE. And then I don't hear my morning alarms, so I need to set up multiples... Multiple really loud alarms... I'm kind of messy (although I do keep the mess mostly on my side of the room--it oozes once in a while, but I usually corral it back over once I'm done with whatever I'm doing). I'm VERY sensitive to warm weather (and by "warm", I mean over 50 Fahrenheit), and thus have fans on.... Am kind of anti-social (by this I mean that I don't want to go out and party with my roommate who I barely know).... I'm bad at remembering to take out the trash (I'll do it--just not as frequently as I probably should)... And I used to have my boyfriend over most weekends. It's not like we'd have sex in the room, but very often we were tired--and so we'd sleep. I'm pretty sure that my roommate thought we were having sex for at least a part of that time, though.

In my defense, my roommates have never told me that they had a problem. I always heard about it later--like when they were moving out early, or they'd told somebody else. :lol: I'd be willing to try and accommodate if they wanted something, but since I'm not psychic, I wait for them to say something. I'm also fairly polite, don't break the rules (or would at least ask my roommate's permission before breaking a minor one), and try to stay out of their way. And don't have people knocking on the door for me all day. *shrug* And can take hearing about my flaws well. There are compensations.

This is awesome. I hope your roommate situations have improved. Unfortunately, mine hasn't. My name is Stephanie, and I hate my roommate Marc.

Letting him move into my apartment, and letting him sign the lease with me, was the worst mistake of my life!

I will begin by telling you what happened prior to his moving in, and then what happened the day he moved in.

Before moving in, Marc told me that he was going to skip/sneak out of his current apartment so he can move into mine. I told him that I did not like that idea because it shows me that he will not be respectful to my landlords, who are the nicest people ever (and that's rare, believe me!), so I said that if he's not going to move out of his old place honestly and find a sublet/assign the lease, that I did not want him moving in. He specifically said that I was right, and that things would be easier for him anyway if he did things honestly.

So I figured things were all set. Later he said he found a sublet and that things were cool with his landlord. Fine. Great!

A couple of weeks later I went to his old place to help him move along with this dude Joe. To begin... Marc's apartment was disgusting. Dusty disgusting mess from hell. I almost gagged. I had to open a window. My heart was in my throat. But more on that later...

As we moved his stuff into the truck, yup, you guessed it! Down comes his landlord. Turns out Marc didn't tell him that he was moving, he was sneaking out of there. The landlord caught him, and got violent. They started yelling at each other, and almost started pushing. I thought there was going to be a fight. Marc continued to move his stuff as the landlord followed him screaming. I just stood there in complete disbelief. As Marc's back was turned, the landlord dude threw this mirror to the ground and smashed it. Marc asked me, yelling, "Did HE do that???!" I did not want to be involved in anything, I just stood there dumbfounded, not wanting to get involved.

The landlord went away in a huff, threatening to sue. I was LIVID. So I said to Marc that if he fucks over my landlords I will personally kill him. I was so pissed.

Then to add insult to injury, here is what happened when he moved his couch in... There is a big flight of stairs that lead into my apartment, and the couch is really heavy. So as Marc and Joe moved it in, they got lazy, didn't notice that there was a big piece of metal sticking out of the couch, and they (like idiots) pushed pushed the couch along my wood floor. THEY LEFT A 20 FOOT SCRATCH from the foyer to the living room right across the floor. 1 inch is an accident, 20 FEET!!! That's sheer stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next day, Marc tried to "fix it" only to turn a 20-foot scratch along the floor into a huge gaping mess after he tried to sand it down and refinish it. And here is what he did:



Sorry, the picture under the cut is really big, but that's the best way to show the magnitude of the scratch/sanded hell (That's my cat MooMoo btw :). The scratch is much longer than what is shown in the image.

That is just the first story. I have plenty more, which I'll post in the future. SIGH.

Oh ho ho~ You cut me to the quick, woman. =D Here's a good one for ya~

I lived with my parents until I was 17. I moved out to move in with my boyfriend. As time passed, the novelty wore off and I broke it off with him- brutally, and I tell you he deserved it! Ranting about everything, making up lies, stupid ones, that I caught him in, checking my IM history (caught him with that when he left them up on the screen of the computer on multiple occassions), spending the bill money on frivulous computer junk, ect... Then I move out, move into my folks house again.
Big mistake, after getting pushed out of the house via emotional abuse, I returned to my ex bf's house. Several weeks later, we have this guy move in. Happy Bob. Yes, that's his name. :) Happy Bob and I got along very well and I eventually started going out with him. But the ex bf, Damion, he and I... Well he's still at it. He spends all the house's money on mcdonalds, computer parts, toys (and he's 25), and other random things we just don't need. He makes up excuses that make me and Happy Bob the reason he does such things, and then has the nerve to ask his grandmother for the rent money every time he screws up and spends it all on garbage.
On another note, this roommate never picks up after himself or does household chores. He works 4 days a week, Happy Bob is on Social Security and I'm unemployed. And he makes it the excuse that he's the only one that works in the house as the reason he doesn't have to pick up after himself. We had cat poo in corners when I moved back in and it took me 8 hours to clean it alone while he played video games on the computer. His excuse? "I didn't notice it there!" but dearies, let me tell you, this stuff was molded to the carpets. It was disgusting.
I could speak volumes and volumes more of his antics and what makes him impossible to live with. But I think I'll just leave you all at this to save you from vomiting. -_-
