First year college I was living in an old Hungarian widows house where she rented out three rooms.
It was a good quiet place to study and not get distracted.

She would regularly spend an hour or more popping zits on his back.
Myroommatewas a pretty shy dude.

Eventually, toward the end of the year, he got a girlfriend.
For example, she would regularly spend an hour or more poppingzitson his back (he had bacne).
They would also sometimes hold hands to prove to each other how close they were.
She said No, its not what you think.
I was just trimming his pubes.
seriously, he doesnt even have a boner.

She got pet rats that stank, and they escaped and ate/pooped on a bunch of my stuff.
I had a horrible,nightmareroommate who had no sense of smell.

A pretty detail story but hear me out.
I lived in a suite with 5 other guys, so essentially 3 doubles.
Also, there were other things such as leaving unfinished food around the suite.
He went into our suite bathroom and closed the door.
That moment was where I heard the most horrific sounding vomiting no mortal man should ever hear.
Everyone in our suite was filled with extreme disgust and laughter after those events had transpired.
TL:DRRoommates room smelled so bad that it made our drunk roommate puke like Krakatoa.

I lived with 3 girls in off campus housing in college, against my better judgement.
None of them cleaned.
And they were incredibly rude.
When asked to clean, she said I should have to do it since she was in hard classes.
She watched Netflix at least 10 hours a day and barely passed said classes.
Girl 2 was a violent drunk.
Girl 3 was petty, stupid, and just blindly followed what the other two said and did.
She kept stalking her fwbs, and always expected me to listen to her problems.
None of them are successful now, unsurprisingly.

He would apparently sit all night plucking pubes and depositing them in plastic tubs half-full of rancid ice cream.
Ross would apparently stay up all night on the computer that was in the living room.
He wouldnt leave his desk.
Not even for bathroom breaks.
Best part was our shower situation.
Our water heater died, and didnt get replaced for 4 months.
Yes, our landlord was that shitty.
I showered at the gym, couch guy showered at school, my buddy showered at his parents house.
When we all celebrated the water heater being replaced after 4 months, Ross asked when it had broken.
Nasty sonofabitch hasnt showered in more than 4 months.
The smell was horrendous.
We all figured he just showered when he got up.
He was so greasy his hair looked like he just got out of the shower.

My hand was now covered in my roommates cum.
My old roommate was dating a good friend of mine.
One day, after her spending the night, the went out for lunch.
Its been years and I still havent told him about it.

I could tell he was plastered because he was kinda rocking around in silence in the dark.
honestly it was a bit creepy, so I called out to him in a whisper.
He held his finger there for another few seconds and (nearly incoherently) muttered, fuck this guy.
If you could permit me to quickly paint a picture of what Mike looked like.
and what Rob looked like, youll understand why this was a really huge problem.
They were as polar opposite as you could imagine, in just about every capacity.
Dude was serious, always.
All I heard was the sound of water hitting cloth, and thats when I saw it…
He had started to pee on Rob, who up until that moment was fast asleep.
Mike didnt say a word.
Mike was out cold.
The rest of the year went as you could imagine.
It was an experience.

From this point on, shell be known as the barista.
The house we were sharing was built in the 1960s, and we had separate bathrooms.
The smell was horrific, and we immediately called the landlady.
I just squish it back down with my feet.
That was when she got a new nickname: waffle stomp.
Waffle Stomp and her moronic family gave us many stories in the year and a half we lived together.

First, Ill admit that hes a very quiet fellow, which I appreciate.
Its when Idotalk to him, though, that all of his problems start to become evident.
For one thing, the guy is completely lacking in any sort of social skills.
That last point is made so much worse by the fact that hesincrediblyhairy.
All of this pales in comparison to the worst thing about him, though.
I thought about kicking him out, but hes justtoo damned cute.
TL;DR: My roommate is a hairy, socially awkward nudist.

Surprisingly a very pleasant person otherwise.
She got a lot of flak from Douchebag McFreeloader though.
Rude to people beneath her.
Calls them the help or the staff instead of by their names.
Throws tantrums to Daddy over the phone.
Leaves uncashed paychecks around because she just doesnt need the money.
She wants the cleaning done differently.
Had 8 other roommates in addition to these with no problems whatsoever.
I think its symptomatic of my town more than anything.

Walked in on her and some guy fully naked and her snorting coke off the dudes erect penis.

He would regularly get shit on the toilet seat and never clean it up.
Dude never showered for weeks on end.
When he did shower, I doubt he used enough soap to actually get clean.
We lost the security deposit pretty much solely because of the stench that was embedded in his room.
Would regularly get shit on the toilet seat and never clean it up.
Never acknowledged the original issue, which was his poop on the toilet seat.
He wrote really awful comic scripts for some website which revolved around women with ridiculously huge tits.
Made me super uncomfortable, especially since he professed his love for me to my boyfriend and to me.
Not that he tried to hide the items anyways, but seeing him wearing it was pretty shocking.
Always thought everything he did was perfect.
Played card and board games and threw fits when he lost.
It started to leak and it stunk up the entire room.
He insisted he was OK to stay but they forced him to leave and take care of it.
Thats all we really care to remember at this point…

I had four roommates in college, a different one every single semester.
The first one killed a dude.
He got high and ran over an old man.
He went to jail for a while, came back to school like nothing happened.
He told me while we were in the dorms just hanging out uh, I killed a guy.
Eventually the police took him away.
I had an empty room after that for 2 months.
Theres no such thing.
He dropped out the next semester and started a yardwork company.
The third guy holy SHIT.
Since he never left the room and basically knew he was getting kicked out he just double committed.
a tiny chip board that makes a small beep randomly every 5-30 seconds.
At least he didnt play with the speakers on anymore.
We demagnetized his school food card about 10 times, he just stole food.
We did all sorts of shit and all it did was nothing.
He did, as predicted, drop out/get kicked out the end of that semester.
Now hes a police officer in my hometown (also not a joke).
My fourth roommate was dope as shit and were still super good friends.
I put a lock on my room but they would steal his stuff over and over and over.
He was a food hoarder and would hide fast food all over the place.
Taco bell from eight months ago under couch, bet you cant guess what kind of smell THAT makes.

He frequently had orgies in my living room and left it smelling of urine.
When I went home for Christmas he moved out and stole all my shit.
Second roommate: said he was being abused at home and asked to stay on my couch.
This went on for months.
He got loaded every day and then started talking about suicide.
He admitted later that he wasnt being abused and just wanted to live at my place.
It would have killed me too.
Third roommate: woke up with my roommate standing over my bed twice.
First time I was groggy and thought naaaww I imagined it.
Second time I flipped the fuck out.
Then cried a lot while we both sat there awkwardly.
Moved out on Monday.
Fourth roommate: Another panty thief.
Didnt talk a lot but stole my panties and ketchup.
I didnt ask but moved out soon.
There were a few more but thats probably enough to take in.

The bed sheets had a literal body outline from her caked-on makeup and not bathing regularly.
I lived in a house my parents owned with my best friend.
We rented the third room out to a random we found in Craigslist or Facebook.
Either way, roomie moves in and seems nice enough.
She has nice parents, seems friendly, we really have no reason to complain.
One night were watching TV and she brings home a guy.
15 minutes later theyre doing the dirty in the upstairs hallway bathroom.
We can hear feet squeaking on the tub and everything.
After that, she never comes out of her room.
For a whole year.
During the course of the year we got curious and peaked in her door while she was gone.
The ENTIRE FLOOR was covered.
As in, there was no carpet visible.
Boxes of bagel bites, cheap cheesy puffs, pasta-roni and plates were everywhere.
The bed sheets had a literal body outline from her caked-on makeup and not bathing regularly.
The icing on the cake though was when she texted me from work saying she clogged the toilet.
Shed taken a dump, and the toilet was overflowing.
Gave her no lease renewal option.

Dog got fleas, then thewhole house got fleas.
Had a roommate that absolutelywould notuse flea protection on his dog.
He never utilized those meds despite me providing them, no strings attached.
(I had no pets at the time, and just wanted to help.)
Long story short, dog got fleas, then thewhole house got fleas.
His dog started losing fur and sleep to the infestation.
Since this was one of many things terribly wrong with that household, I elected to leave.
Hope the roommate eventually came to his senses.
