An anon mentioned upthread and now I want to know. Who were the worst roommates you've ever had? What did they do?

Guy rooming with guys in a house. They'd fap in the shower then leave semen on the shower walls. It had to be at least two of them, there was a lot.

No. NO. Just. NO.

I once had a roommate who mistook my stomach virus for an eating disorder and got our dorm staff interrogating me for a week. As someone who did have an ED at one point, it wasn't a fun experience

I don't have any stories personally (living at home still), but one of my favourite roommate horror stories is the self righteous vegan.

here's mine

I'm surprised she had time to write such a long letter, what with the ivory tower to take care of and look down upon the lowly peasants from.

Looking back on it now I was probably the shitty roommate...

but what do you expect when you put an introvert who likes to go to sleep early/get up early in the same room with a night owl who spent all night watching tv or playing on the computer (both of which were mine by the way - I made the mistake of being nice and saying they could use either once in a while) which kept me up all night as well because I cannot sleep with light in the room.

The Anorexic Bitch! She accused me of stealing her food (I hadn't), wrote messages on the fridge about food=fat, and the bathroom mirror about "A second on the lips is forever on the hips".

And had loud parties, left her music and alarm on when she went out or left for the weekend, walked around in a thong and a bra and was completely neurotic about cleaning.

I hated her so much that I left transferred universities to avoid her.

It sounds more like she needed help and you were a shitty roommate for not even contacting health services.

My fourth year of college, my roommate and I shared an apartment with these two sophomore girls who were the most inconsiderate people I've ever come across. They'd blast shitty music all day, go party in the apartment right above ours all night (so even when they were gone we couldn't get any peace), then bring their friends back at 5 a.m. for what sounded like a nightly screaming contest. They'd take our food (lol, they even stole my salt shaker a couple times and locked it in their room), refuse to buy communal supplies like toilet paper until we stopped keeping ours in the bathroom, and never cleaned up after themselves. They even set off the fire alarm once and took off so we'd have to deal with Public Safety.

It was mostly the noise that got to me though--I couldn't sleep or study or even hear myself think. It was bad enough that when we went to Res Life they gave us an apartment to ourselves for the next semester so we wouldn't have to risk dealing with roommates like that again.

I was recovering from some surgeries when I was in college and was walking using a walker. I had roommates who told me I was making noises with my walker on purpose to wake them up. I had an 8am calculus class and had to shower/get ready/leave early in the mornings. What did they expect me to do exactly? I still don't know.

It's been about ten years and I still kind of want to punch them in the eyes.

I'm so grateful to never have been in a situation to need a room mate, because I know I would be the shitty one.

One year in college, I shared a dorm room with a girl who used to play music really loud all the time. She only did this during the day, often when I wasn't there, so I didn't mind. Other people on our floor did mind, though, and she got a lot of noise complains against her. She had to go in to see the residence director so many times, she claimed that they had become friends.

Where it got to be a problem for me was the noise she'd make late at night: chatting loudly on the phone, cleaning out her desk, RE-ARRANGING FURNITURE AT 3:00 AM, etc. Meanwhile, if she went to bed early and I sat up studying, she'd complain that my desk lamp was bothering her and I should go find somewhere else to work. One time when she was on the phone, keeping me awake again, I finally told her to please stop with the late night phone calls. She started almost shaking with rage and told me that I was not allowed to talk to her like I was her mother and threatened to go to her "friend" the residence hall director and have me forced out of the dorm.

In retrospect, she was a really abusive person.

Oh, I have a doozey. So much so, that I am going anon on this least she find this and stalk me.

This was not so much a roommate but the girlfriend of a roommate who decided to move in with us. (I held the lease and nothing was discussed with me. Just one day out of the blue she started living with us.)

She was one of those "enlightened" upper middle class, white girls. (YES! She had actual pony!) She was always marching and going to protests on behalf of POCs because she would say how down trodden and defenseless they were. And how she as a privileged white had to show that not all whites were bad. Of course, I am for equal rights but the way she went about it was the most condescending, borderline racist way. Like POCs couldn't succeed without the help of as she saw it all powerful, obviously smarter, whitey. (*facepalm*) She was a vegetarian. I was not. She would always hound me on how could I eat so much meat. Didn't I know what cattle farming was doing to the rainforests? And how can I be so cruel to animals or anything of Mother Nature. (Yeah, like Ma Nature wouldn't tear me to shreds if given the chance. Hello, Black Plague.) Even worse, I like to take two showers a day. One in the morning before I go to work, to wake me up and help me get ready for the day. And one at night after I come home feeling gross and sticky. She would go on how much water I wasting. And how I was so inconsiderate because, "There are people out there who don't even have water."

Then she started taking over my computer because I had it in the living room. She had ask at first if she could use it because she was going to school and needed for for homework. I said, "Sure." Pandora's box. She spent more time than off. (Oh, did I mention she didn't have a job so she spent most of the day lounging around the apartment? No? Now, I have.) She then started to put on file sharing programs on my computer and before I knew it my music library was filled with her good awful taste in music. Then out of the blue, she comes up to me and says, "Hey, if you want, I'll split you with the cost of an ink cartridge." Little did I know she had been using the printer all this time. There was a full, fresh cartridge before she came around. She had used it all. Mind you those cartridges at the time were $30+. And she wanted me to split the cost of a new one. I told her flat out that I wasn't going to get a new one. Oh, the look of death on her face she gave me when I said that. I remember that look until the day I die.

She would leave dirty clothes every where. Including her dirty thongs. (*SCREAMING*)

She was also an artist as was I. I preferred the more realistic styles of David, Sargent as well most of the painters of the Renaissance. She was an abstract painter. Her art consisted of pressing tea bags and things of the natural world like leaves and dirt, she would find while going outside and pressing them against the canvass. Not my style but art is art, right? Not to her. She would always comment on how my art was lower than hers because I was not "truly being free" with myself "and being expressive." She would always try to making me stop doing my style and follow hers.

Oh, I am surprised I didn't need stitches over the number times I bit my tongue.

I tolerated her because 1) I liked the roommate and 2) at that time I had poor self-esteem issues and 3)because I had poor self-esteem issues it never occurred to me to kick her out or yell at my roommate to control his horrible excuse of human being girlfriend.

Luckily, their relationship ended two months later.

God, I wish I would have kicked her teeth in.

oh my god. That sounds nightmarish. I'm truly sorry for your lots anon D=

My roommate during my senior year in college liked to sleep with the window open. During the winter season. In New England. While she would close it at my request, when she thought I was asleep she would open it again.

Eventually I went to the RA for help and got things sorted out, but still, it sucked waking up in the middle of the night absolutely freezing. :(

I've got a horror story too --- I was working a contract in another city and didn't want to give up my house, so. I lucked out with the last room left in the city (it's a Uni. town, and my contract started the same month the Uni started up again) in a new(er) house in a new(er) subdivision. The place was immaculate when I went to view it, the landlord was living onsite at the time. They were two boarders in the house, and we were working professionals. The landlord's kid and their SO were Uni. students. Medical students. Remember that.

Three days after the landlord moved out, a month or so after we'd all moved in, the place looked like Hoarding: Buried Alive. Before the intervention. Including the filth. There were clean patches where each one of us adults kept up our own little corner(s) of the kitchen that we used...when we could use it, that is. When it wasn't stacked ceiling-height with dirty pots and pans and dishes and not a single dish, plate, or piece of cutlery left in the house that had not somehow been soiled (and not even put in the dishwasher)...with the "loving couple" curled up asleep on the couch in the middle of the maelstrom, offering a cursory, "You can have our leftovers" when one or the other of us came downstairs to try and cook our OWN dinner(s).

Which I wouldn't, just on principle: If I have to clean up SOMEONE ELSE'S MESS to cook my own meal, I'd rather not eat. I ended up eating takeaway all one summer, because the med students (who, I repeat, were filthy pigs and I would run in the other direction, if I were ever unfortunate enough to fall under either of their "care") had a party, and left empty beer bottles lining the countertops and every available surface for TWO WEEKS.

Given this was the middle of a scorching summer, yes we got maggots. And then we got flies. But the two of them STILL cooked and ate in that kitchen with the state that it was in, swarms of flies wafting up off the cupboard doors every time you went to open one. *gag* I gave up cooking completely, until the landlord moved back in and disinfected everything again. But alas, it was not to last. Three days after he was gone again a month later, it was back just exactly as bad as it was before --- I could go on and on with explicit details, but the thing I couldn't get over was the fact that these were MED STUDENTS --- who acted like they had never even HEARD of this little thing called infection control......

Overall my freshman roommate and I were just really incompatible personalities, but there were a few things that really upset me. The worst was when she had sex on our floor while I was away and in the process broke a windchime I'd hung from the door that my grandmother gave me, and also left a condom wrapper on my desk. She denied everything when I confronted her, wtf?

She also, hilariously, refused to believe I wasn't sleeping with any male friend I brought over -- even after I came out to her, although admittedly as bi -- and she would get really weird and passive-aggressive about it even though we were literally always just watching television.

One roommate was on weed - but she was one of those people who end up raging on it instead of mellowing out, so she was constantly leaving threats under/taped to our doors. Meanwhile the other roommate [same place, same time] had someone get angry enough at them that they actually came over and tried to hack their way through our front door.

Needless to say, they were both 'lovely' people who had a big thing with backstabbing and generally made things bad enough I spent most of my time living out of a friend's apartment.

i've never had a "bad" roommate and i like my current one well enough but she can be really inconsiderate. on weekdays i get up at either 7am or 8:30am so it's pretty early, it's not like i'm sleeping until 3pm (though i can do that on the weekends lol). on the days she happens to get up before me she is as loud as she is when i'm awake. slamming drawers, turning the light on above my bed, etc.

i'm a pretty light sleeper but subtle/quiet noises - even if they wake me up - don't bother me at all. that said though, these are beyond "subtle noises" and are really obnoxious.

that's really my only problem with her though (well that and her leaving hair all over my side of the vanity...).

My last roommate didn't do anything really bad, though I was kind of offended that she accused me of using her facial cream or some shit. And she like insisted that I did and didn't talk to me for like a month and some. She didn't even ask if I was using it (I never did, why the fuck would I?) she just.. came out and told me to stop? I thought the approach was rude. Otherwise she'd always tell me if she'd be getting up early the next day or have someone over and stuff like that. The guy she dated was lame as hell though. And she watched Jersey Shore. But we had our own TVs and I just teased her about it. Haha.

The same roommate did have a nightmarish landlady before moving in with me. This woman had an illegal room for rent, accused the tenants of 'using too much space' all the time, took pics of all their rooms and some other stuff I can't remember. My roommate had to call the police a couple times because the landlady would go nuts when they argued.

Shay the romm-mate from hell. Another classic roommate horror story. Not mine.

Hah, I have a good one.

My junior year I lived in a triple with two other girls - one of which I adored, but the other one was absolutely terrible. She was the typical slob roommate, and left plates/bowls with food remnants and dirty clothes (especially dirty underwear!) all over the room.

Halfway through the first semester, her boyfriend lost housing and just decided to move in with us...without asking. And then they had the audacity to complain that I (and the other roommate) were in the room too much, and that they couldn't have sex as much as they wanted to.

How our room was set up, we all had one big, walk-in closet. Said boyfriend went into the closet to change at one point, and comes back out with a fucking used pad stuck to the bottom of his shoe and was walking around the room with it!

I really don't miss that aspect of college.

The roommate I had my first year of college was just... THE laziest and most 'princess' person ever!

She would never do her dishes (knowing I would do them because it made my stomach turn to have a filthy kitchen), to the point where she would leave appliances dirty and on the counter before going home for the weekend.

She cried non-stop LOUDLY for the first two weeks. I understand at eighteen being two hours from home for the first time ever can be sad and uncomfortable (I was twenty-three at the time), but she wailed CONSTANTLY!

She never ever offered to clean the bathroom, would leave globs of hair in the shower drain and finish the toilet paper without changing it. ¬.¬

The girl I had second year (well one of them, the other was great) was just... clueless.

One day the pipe under our sink exploded while she was home, gushing water everywhere, and when we got home from class (my other roommate and I were in the same program), we had to deal with cleaning up all the water and calling the landlord because she 'hadn't noticed' that water... and it had been really loud, like we heard it as soon as we stepped inside the front door.
