Worst. Roommates.Ever

Oliviamarie05

I know there have to be some great stories on some of the horrific roommates people have had. I wish to be entertained!

Examples of my experiences: One roommate would leave our stove on for a period of 8 hours (while we are all at work), the house unlocked and our dogs trapped in a bedroom. (All by accident) -.-

Another roommate had a very loud, sensual relationship with her boyfriend. And I mean loud. Every surface of our house was not safe to use and I went through sanitizer like a crazy person.

let me here some of yours!

I had two roommates in college, and while neither bothered me really, one's dog would always poop in front of the other room mate's door every morning before he woke up and he would routinely step in it on his way to shower first thing in the morning.

I think the dog took issue with him because he was the only male in the house.. I never had that issue with the dog.

I once had a roommate who threw my cat at me... Full overhead throw. She was so mean to the poor cat I had to find her a new home until I could find a new home for both of us!

I peed in my college roomate's shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles... but that's because THEY were the worst roomates ever. Not me, nope.

I walked in on one of my roommates spraying our cat in the face with cleaner. Needless to say I lost it.

Cruelty to animals is NOT to be accepted. I hope everything worked out for you and your kitty.

I lived with 2 people incapable of cleaning. When I raised this issue I was told they didn't give a crap and if I wanted the place clean I should do it myself. I was the only one doing it.

They regularly went out and came back at 3am banging and yelling and one of them would have loud sex with strangers.
Once she came back without the other roommate and woke me up because she had no key. I opened the door to a complete stranger and her squatting in the street having a wee. She then proceeded to have loud sex with the stranger.

Same girl also would play music and sing like a banshee at both at 12am and then at 7am when she got up.
I often slept with a pillow over my head.

Most incredibly selfish people I have ever met. I moved out about 2 months ago now and feel so lucky I was able to escape.


EDIT: OH! And after I moved out, she accused my bf of clogging the bath drain with his hair. He used that shower twice in the 9 months I was there. She couldn't see that the guy we lived with had the same colour and length hair as my bf, but nooo it couldn't possibly have come from the person who used it every other day!

My first roommate in college portrayed herself as this down-to-earth, hippie, sweet young lady who did nothing wrong while her parents were moving her in... throughout the year, she tried to grow pot in our room, smoked in there all the time even though we practically lived across the hallway from our resident assistant, was a COMPLETE slob leaving half eaten fruit oatmeal on top of the microwave for days at a time, forced her passive boyfriend to clean our entire room when he came to visit (including vacuuming our whole room with a handheld vacuum). Had ALL of her visitors take over my side of the room AND sleep in my bed while I was away on weekends or out of the room. Never bought her own trash can but would come in at 6 every morning from being out all night, puke into my trash can, and refuse to wash it out/take the bag out until days later. One random night she pushed all of my **** from my desk into the corner of our room where my closet was and moved in one of our mutual acquaintances into our room on our tiny dorm floor (with an entire mattress and mattress pad) for the last 3 months of our living together AND sold multiple forms of drugs, alcohol, prescription pills from our room all year to college and high school kids. She left our door open and put a sheet up to "cool the room off" but random people would just prance in whenever they damn well pleased.

Still talk to her to this day and she's awesome as a person... but CRAZY as a roommate. :grumble:

This is seriously awesome. I would eventually get angry about the dog pooping on the floor, but it's more of a F/U to the owner. Awesome dog

Just realized that I could get a clean room out of it and I set myself up to live with someone else for the following year literally halfway through the year with crazy chick... now the girl who was my roommate sophomore year is my best friend of 5 years and the best roommate EVER. :bigsmile:

bump. C'mon people, I need more entertaining stories!

My college roommate thought she was my mother!!! She believed that she had the right to tell me to do whatever she wanted me to do before going out. NOT!! One night, she exploded at me because I didn't wash dishes before leaving to go out. One of our other friends has arrived at the dorm to pick me up and my roommate technically was mad because she had to finish a term paper and couldn't go. Anyway, she picked a fight with me, and proceeded to throw the pan of dishes at me and when I moved to not be hit, the contents of the bucket landed in and on the clothes in my closet. I told her (loudly) "NOW *****h, you get to clean up this mess AND you will wash my clothes, including pay for the dry cleaning on the clothes that have to go to the cleaners, AND you better pray that milk comes out of my suade boots!! She cleaned the room, and apologized when I returned. BUT she never stopped trying to tell me what to do. She would even call my mom!!! NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL!!! I didn't finish the semester living with her. AND even though we were best friends in high school, I haven't seen her or spoke to her since I moved out.

Another roommate (3 yrs my junior) also tried to tell me what to do. She went as far to throw a 2 yr old temper tantrum in the floor because I would not wash 1 coffe cup, 1 bowl, and one spoon in the kitchen sink before leaving for the day. WTH?? Since I thought she was having an anxiety attack, I called her dad to come over. How embarrassed was I when he told me she was just having a temper fit? It wasn't long after that she moved out because she got pregnant. We didn't speak for many years, but we are now best friends!! She is also not a very good housekeeper now either...just saying!! LOL

Hmm, well, I've had several.

My very first roommate experience was when I moved into the dorms for college. The girl I shared a room with did not get along with me at all. She was so obnoxious. She would talk loudly on the phone while having the TV on full volume and listening to the radio... I'm a quiet person who can't stand TV to begin with. She'd have loud visitors over at all hours crowding the room. I'm also sure it was her friends who were doing the obnoxious crank phone calls. Oh, and if my friends stopped by to visit while I was out, she'd open the door, look at them, and then just slam the door in their face.

My very last roommate in the dormitory worked out so well that we decided to rent an apartment together... that was a mistake. Well, it might have gone fine except that over the summer she convinced her twin sister to switch schools and move in with us. My advice, never, ever live with twins. They said they couldn't share a room, so I had to share with one of them. I chose the one I'd lived in the dorms with the year before. That part wasn't too bad. But trying to share the kitchen was awful. We all three had to have separate everything. I remember one day, sitting in the living room with the first girl and another friend. We were discussing her recent engagement and the plans she was making for her wedding. Well, apparently it was causing her a lot of stress. When her twin sister peeked out from the kitchen to ask to borrow a piece of Tupperware, she basically interrogated her and then yelled really loud that no, she absolutely could not borrow the Tupperware because that dish contained onions. And then she went right back to discussing colors for bridesmaid dresses....

So, nothing dangerous, but still some funny situations that were quite annoying at the time.

I had a roomate who went to bed really late at night, and we had to share a room (as well as bunk beds). Going to bed one night the top bunk broke and fell on me she did not get up and help me get out from under the broken bed. No she layed there laughing and shouting for my other roomates.

ScientistStudy

My advice, never, ever live with twins.

As a twin I say, not all of us are like that!
My sister and I would never separate our stuff out like that, we would happily share everything. Fair enough not wanting to share a room so you aren't with your twin 24/7, but general sharing? That's basic human decency, especially with your own flesh and blood.. literally.
These 2 you lived with sound a little selfish.

Is it bad that I laughed a little thinking about that night? Thank god I was there or that bed wouldn't have been lifted off of you!

kateanne27

I had a couple roomates who were just mean and cliquey, but what takes the cake is the one who did not do her laundry all semester, she had crates and crates of clothes and would drive home to get more if she ran out, it took over our room, and smelled horrible. AND she flipped out ne day when she caught me febreezing her piles.

Eeyore255

I had 2 bad roommates, both in the dorms. The first one smoked weed in the room while I was out to dinner, and you could smell it down the hall. I packed my weekend bags and left that night to stay at a friend's. I didn't want to bring weedy laundry home for the weekend and have to explain that to my parents! I also didn't want to be in the room if someone reported it. I regret not reporting it myself. She had a friend who took some of my CDs (and other items) without asking, and she tried to sneak them back in after I commented on it. She acted like my missing CDs had been there all along. I pointed out they were now in the wrong order, so I know someone recently put them back. After that, I started locking everything in my closet with a padlock. She was only in college for 1 semester. She partied and didn't study.

The 2nd roomie started off good. But she had friends who would just walk into our room without knocking. She would leave for class, and I would awake to another girl from across the hall doing her hair and makeup at our mirror! And when I called them out on it, she got mad. So, I let my roomie overhear me asking a friend who worked at the police department if he could put some violations on her license, and then I did the same with a friend at the financial aid office. I had no intention of following through; it was an empty threat - but it worked! The next day, she apologized for barging in and never did again.

She would let her friends use my computer while I was gone for the weekend, all without asking. So, I had to password it. I shared my belongings with my roommates, but she was letting people I didn't know use my computer without permission. And when I ended that, she was typing people's papers for them and pretending it was her paper! We had computer labs all over campus, and I was a CIS major. I needed my computer for the majority of my classes! She left after one semester also - partied too much.

Bleh, dorm life.

This is terrible. I'm so glad I don't have to live in dorms. We don't really have 'dorms' in Edmonton, Alberta. They have apartment buildings built beside the schools if you want to rent and you are placed with someone, but they are actual apartments. You have tons of space and don't see your roommates at all.

Thankfully, my univeristy is 5 k from my house. I get to live at home with the hubby while in school.

I had an umbrella tree in a flowerpot. I do not smoke marijuana. My roommate did smoke marijuana, and one night she and her friends were partying and found some seeds in their bag of pot, and decided it would be hilarious to plant them in with MY umbrella tree. I heard the discussion and told them to stop before they got a chance to, but that could have been... interesting.

I also had a roommate who was lovely when we first moved in together. But she started dating a very dirty guy (not dirty "naughty," but dirty "never showered") and she decided to stop showering as well. That was awesome. She also had apparently worked out an arrangement with him that he would pay half of her rent (so 1/4 of the total rent) and live in her room. I didn't know this, because I thought he still had a place of his own, and he would go in and out while I wasn't home so I wouldn't catch on. I wouldn't have cared if he was living there, but it would have been nice if we'd all paid a third instead of me paying half and them getting off cheap.

My very first college roommate was actually a nice person, but she had a thing for death metal. She used to blast that stuff so loud you could hear it all the way in the lobby -- we lived on the third floor. I spent a lot of time not in the room because that made me crazy.

DeterminedAshley

omg! I have the worst experience with roommates ever. I had 8 my freshman year of college!

The first three I had...omg. Well, Brooke was dating a guy that I made out with in 8th grade. Awkward. Kelsey was 22 and dating a guy that was 45..he was over all the time and told us he had a 12 inch ****..I told him to flip the ruler over cuz he was reading centimeters..lol..awful. MIchelle was a super slut, different guy over every night, first night i met her we went to a guys house that she had never met before, and she had sex with him when I was in the same room. Great first impression. Long story short ended up moving out for the better good.

My fourth fifth and sixth roommates weren't too bad..but they never cleaned. I felt like I didn't have to do their dishes because I was not their mom. They disagreed. So they just sat there until I couldn't take it anymore and I washed their nasty dishes. everytime. I furnished 98% of the apartment, and so they used all my stuff, and NEVER cleaned afterwards. Ugh. But they are angels compared to my last two roommates...

Corinne moved in a total virgin, never even kissed a guy, never done any drugs including alcohol. Well, that changed. I had a party the first night she was there and clearly I wanted to give her a chance, even though she looked like Peter Pedigru (sp?) from Harry Potter...(guy with the really red face)..yuck. Anyways, she got super drunk. (off of 2 shots!) and threw up all over my carpet. Guess who cleaned it up? Yes I was a very nice roommate. Well everything was okay with us two for a while...until my ex boyfriend called in the winter and asked if he could stay because he didn't want to drive in the bad weather. I told him he could sleep on the couch.
I warned Corinne about all of the bad things he has done, and to not get involved, besides..he was my ex...and it's girl code to not be with your friends' ex... especially if you LIVE with them!
Anyways, long story short, she lost her virginity to him.. (oh no...always have feelings for the guy who took your virginity)
she apologized to me and promised she'd never talk to him again, two months later I found out that she was seeing him on a regular basis.----I was mainly upset because she lied. I HATE LIARS. She lied all the time.
She had sex with 3 different guys in one week, started smoking weed, and cigarettes. She had completely changed.
I could handle all of these things that she had done, and I had forgiven her time and time again...but then something horrible happened.
She. Had. Sex. In. MY. Bed. With. My. Ex. Boyfriend!......that is so rude, disrespectful, disgusting. yuck. and then she refused to buy me new sheets..uh hello! I told her for all that she has done to me she is lucky I don't pee on her toothbrush. Besides that she was very messy too, never did one dish, probably did laundry once the whole 4 months she lived there.
My other roommate at the time alicia, was very messy. and an RA! That means no drinking for me. (But I did lose 20 pounds!) :P

Well sorry for the long rant, I just found it funny that this was one of the posts.

ADD ME!

Smccau3

I don't think either of my roommates were horrible, but by the end of the year I was ready to move home. I don't party, drink, do drugs, or anything. I have never been in a serious relationship. All of that being said I try to be open minded, though when I care about someone I will voice my opinion.

My first roommate and I became best friends. We are like sisters. Which means we fought a lot! But it was all in good fun. The only issue we really had was she was in a long term relationship with a guy I hated(I hated him for good reason). It got to the point that whenever he was over, I stayed in someone else's room. After they broke up, things between us went back to normal.

I lived with her again this year, plus another girl. This time it was apartment style and I shared a too. With the new girl. Ughhhh. We both have very strong beliefs and they are completely opposite. She enjoyed posting these beliefs throughout our room, which gave the impression that I believed these things too (NOT). She also had weird relationship problems, and was always complaining.

Needless to say, I am ready to be living at home this year.

I had a roommate last year who would sit butt-naked on our sink and pick at herself with tweezers. Then she'd leave all of her "pickings" (skin flakes, hair, etc.) on the sink.

Vomit-inducing.

JennyLisT

I had one wonderful roommate in college, but I had to wade through three years of crap!

The first year, I had a roommate who sang gospel music at all hours. She was far from the worst.

The next year, I had a roommate who was allergic to the cleaning supplies. Well, I'm assuming she was allergic because she NEVER touched them. She left dishes in the sink for ages, and I'm pretty sure she was trying to brew up something for chemical warfare. Green fuzzy stuff in the sink is bad. She was also generally a nasty personality. She left strange babies in the dorm while she and the moms would go party. She broke glass and left it on the floor. She gave relative strangers the key to the dorm. A whole lot of bad stuff.

The final year of crap, I had one good roommate and two crap ones. The good roommate had cerebral palsy, and the other roommates' guests would call her a cripple and make fun of her. I tossed some of those guests out on their *kitten* and called the police to remove the others. These two roommates were also allergic to cleaning (funny how I find those!), and they were loud. They would have guests banging on the doors at 3AM. They would blast their music at all hours and have very loud conversations often along the lines of "Can you get HIV from <fill in the blank>?" Awful in too many ways to fully name.

aproc

My roomate likes to buy lots of produce that she NEVER eats. She then leaves it to rot and guess who gets to clean it up? I came home from texas for a month last year to a rotted squah that half of it had seeped into the table and the apartment reeked. This last time I cam home from texas last month it was the same but with a watermelon and a bunch of berries. She will also leave food out overnight and glasses of milk on the table for days. I have to bleach and buy air fresheners really often. =/

lostinureyes17

I peed in my college roomate's shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles... but that's because THEY were the worst roomates ever. Not me, nope.

Umm I know a girl who did this to her ex and I was afraid she did it to me. My first roommate was my bff and I moved in with her and found out later that she was crazy! She was always rude if I had friends over and would complain about them eating my snacks but then would have her ex over and make him big meals. One morning at 7:30 am she woke me up to ask when my friend was leaving because she felt like cleaning. She copied her ex's key and would go in while he was at work and pee in his stuff and count his condoms. After I learned all this I was worried about what she would do to me so I promptly moved out!
