i have a roommate who's boyfriend broke our glass coffee table, punched a hole in the wall, and ripped the frame of her door off. Me and my other roommate HATE him and didn't allow him in our apartment for a long time.

O and their STILL going out..

I had a roomie once, we called her the Wombat. She was single white female clingy, when she went on a diet the entire house was expected to go on the diet with her! Oh and EVERYTHING she did was loud X 3. The girl could wake me out of a dead sleep just by walking (well she actually stomped), but you get the point.

My roommate experiences have ranged from okay to nightmare. I would never live with a girl again, except my mom or sisters!

The first two girls I lived with came from really poor families, and always had trouble paying bills on time. They were too broke and/or cheap to buy a shower curtain for the bathroom they shared, so they just used my dinky little shower all the time. Neither had a garbage disposal before, and they would freak out if I put something like an apple core down ours. One had a lazy, unemployed boyfriend who camped out at our house, had people call him on our phone, and received visitors as though it were his house. We asked him to at least help out by mowing the lawn, but he couldn't be bothered.

Like spieper, I also had a roommate with a serious stomping and door-slamming problem. It was weird, because she's a very tiny, delicate, girly girl, but she walked on the hardwood floors like a clumsy elephant, and always came in late on nights before I had to work, slamming the door and talking loudly on the phone. She also hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for some friends, and left town for the holidays without cleaning it up. (Other than those things, she was by far my best roommate...)

I also lived with a girl who thought I was her spiritual project, who ended up kicking me out because I didn't want to become a Mini-Her.

Ugh! No more roommates, ever!!!

Yep! We lived with our best friend and his girlfriend just moved on it without asking, paying (for rent or food), or giving any notice to the fact that she lived there. She just acted like it was a completely normal thing for her to be doing, living in our apartment. When we finally confronted our roommate about it, things with him and his girlfriend went VERY south.

*girlfriend just moved on in without asking.

To clarify: we already lived with the best friend.

Wow, I need coffee...

I lived w/ my bff's sister, who turned out to be a raging alcoholic, and bipolar as well. The other room opened up, and we found another roomie, who had multiple felony DUI's, and was a kleptomaniac. My bff got married and while she was away on her honeymoon, her sister was watching her apartment and all her stuff. The klepto got her drunk, stole my bff's car, got a DUI in it, and got it impounded. And she also stole a diamond necklace, that held the original diamond to my bff's engagement ring. Priceless in my book. They would leave beer cans all over the nice house, they would puke on the brand new carpet, and cover it up with stuff instead of cleaning it up, they threatened to kill me on a few different occasions. By far the worst roommates EVER. After I kicked them out, I lived w/ a sweet girl, going to law school. Yeah, she was a super closed minded racist hardcore Republican. That didn't work out very well either. Haha, now it's just my boyfriend and me, thank God!!

Hell yes. I prefer not to re-hash my unpleasant roommate experiences. It's in my past, and that's where I like it to stay. Let's just say I decided not to have roommates again post-college.

But in all fairness, I think I contributed to my negative experiences. I am a true introvert, and I prefer to be alone most of the time. That's why having roommates did not go over well with me.

I am married now, and I live with my husband. Truthfully, I am able to co-habitate with him due to my deep affection for him. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be able to live with him.

My freshman roomate at UC Santa Cruz decided I was stupid and unworthy because I didn't smoke weed. The entire year she was extremely passive aggressive, like she'd slam the door when I was sleeping, instant message her friends/family in Ohio at 6am (with the AIM sounds turned on max), and talk on the phone with her boyfriend and tell him how stupid I was.

Then 2 years later, I lived with this girl who hated white people. Also passive aggressive. If I was cooking, she'd loudly state that the house stunk and would open all the doors and windows. (Her cooking smelled like rotten fish when I would cook mainly Italian/Mediterranean foods). She also would let her thick black hair clog the shower drain, and then blame me (I have thin light brown hair). She even started a Facebook group stating how much she hated me. I came home drunk one night and called her a dirty rotten c*** and to this day I don't regret it.

And to think, the girl I lived with who would snort coke off the coffee table is really nothing compared to these people.

1. The roommates who insisted on buying hamsters, but were really lazy about cleaning the rodents' cages and weren't careful about shutting the cages completely after refilling the water and/or food dishes. To this day, I despise hamsters.

2. The roommate who brought her boyfriend and a puppy to live in our small, no-pets-allowed apartment and refused to pay extra for rent or utilities for the additional person. The boyfriend sat in our living room and played videogames all day, most days. He was also a psychotic, judgmental super-Christian who thought I was evil for reading fashion magazines and drinking alcohol, but didn't find it bad for him to partake in premarital sex or pornography.

3. The creepy, OCD, just-separated-from-his-wife looney who played guitar and sang Morrissey songs on the top of his lungs until the wee hours of the morning in order to cope. He'd also tried every drug known to mankind.

4. The lesbian-turned-straight after she found her boyfriend.

5. The straight guy obsessed with unicorns who was also the saddest person I've ever met.

6. The inconsiderate, clueless slob who tried to pull a move on me.

After these horrible experiences, I'm extremely grateful for the awesome roommate I have now. Unfortunately, I kind of have a crush on him...

For the last 3 years I have been blessed with roommates from hell and oddly enough, we picked to live with each other. My freshman year, I chose to live with a girl who was on an episode of MTV's True Life, except I didn't find that out until AFTER move-in. Needless to say, she was a PSYCHOPATH and made my life so miserable that I had to transfer to another university.

Unfortunately, my situation did not get any better at the new school, but I'm toughing it out anyway and am currently about to start my senior year!!

At this school, I am forced to deal with girls who put the thermostat up to 95 degrees when it is 80 degrees outside. Yes, thats right, the heat, even though its hot outside. She should have just pitched a tent outside and slept there. These girls were loud, sloppy, left the doors unlocked at all times so their boyfriends could walk in whenever they wanted, and even had their boyfriends move in for awhile. One girl was in an abusive relationship and proceeded to make my life a living hell because I called the police after I witnessed her boyfriend beating her for the second time, and she was mad that I got him in trouble. They would have parties until 4 or 5 AM, regardless that I had an 8 AM class the next morning. They had 35 people from the party sleep on the floor of our common area, which was soaked in beer and liquor they spilled on multiple occasions. One of my roommates would also do her brother's and boyfriends laundry every week so I basically had a 3 hour span during the week in which I could do my laundry. (Keep in mind, there was 1 washing machine and 1 dryer for just us, 2 girls only). If my stuff was in the washing machine for more than 5 minutes after finishing its cycle, she would take my wet clothes out and throw them on the floor. Meanwhile she kept her laundry there for days on end and I would fold all of hers into a neat pile if I needed to use any of the machines. I was raised to have respect for others, regardless of being treated like crap in return. I could go on and on with stories, but I want to spare you all from the nightmare.

After having lived through the last 3 years, I have to say that I have learned a lot about people and about life. Since I'm studying marketing and business, I will be talking with many people in which I might not like or get along with, but I've learned how to put a smile on my face and treat them with the respect they deserve...or maybe not deserve, but rather, treating them the way that I wish to be treated/respected by others. My roommates have taught me how to deal with difficult people, in a cool, calm, and collected manner.

I think people get stuck with bad roommates for a reason, and that is so they can learn a lesson. I've certainly learned mine. Have you?

My worst roommate was during college.

He decided that the way to wash his underwear was to keep it in a bucket in the bathroom. Not with any washing powder - just his undies and the water, and it would sit there for weeks like that.

The small was *foul*.

He actually used the same basic idea with the crockery as well - he would only wash anything up when he needed to use it, so the sink was constantly full of dirty crockery. After about a week I took to keeping my crockery clean and in my room!

By contrast, in my second year I was with a guy straight out of the army who kept the house constantly spotless.

I hope i don't ever have to get a roommate.

I had a roommate who was responsible for our electric bill, it came under her name and we split the cost and paid her our portion so that she could pay it. Then one day our power got shut off because our electric bill had not been getting paid since we moved in, and because there was over $1,000 owed to the company (apparently she had done this at her previous apartment and the late fees had carried over to our apartment, so we had been paying more than what we owed)!

And my first roommate ever used to bring her boyfriend over every single night, and he'd stay until at least 2 am. Luckily that was in a dorm and I was able to get a new room, all by myself!

I've had the opposite so far ... my first roommate in college was amazing. We hit it off and were really good friends. We still keep in touch and she's always been there for me. My flatmate/landlord now is also amazing. If he's ordering take away, he'll actually call me when I'm on my way home from work and asks if I want anything so that he can order for the both of us ... he does 99% of the cleaning (though I obviously try to help out as much as I can) and is just so incredibly nice. I think I have been really lucky.

My freshman year of college i was stuck rooming with this stuck-up rich girl who got drunk and partied nearly every night. She would always stumble in drunk in the middle of the night while i was asleep. A couple times she would actually bring guys home with her and mess around with them while i was 5ft away in my bed. It was pretty messed up. And the kicker is, I dont think she ever understood why i didnt like her.
My sophomore year of college i roomed with this girl who was a complete slob and expected me and our other roommates to pick up after her. She gossiped a lot, even about her "best friends" and it made me curious as what she was telling everyone about me. She leeched off of all our things and would even steal from us. The day she moved out was one of the best days of my life.

I don't think I've ever had a horrible roommate, but I've had some bad ones.

One that was just weird. This was in the dorms in college and she brought her Dad's ashes in a little sack that she put up on the wall. I tried to be understanding because I have no idea what it's like to lose a parent. But, whenever she was going to stay the night away, I couldn't help asking "Aren't you going to take your Dad with you!?"

And then I had another who was just screwy. There were three of us and she spent the first 3 months feeding me full of lies about what the other roommate was saying/doing and the same thing with the other roommate about me! It took us 3 months to figure out what she was doing, realize that the problems we were having were with her not each other and boot her azz out.

Jeez, I actually had TWO terrible housemates this year. One we kicked out, and the other, I'm just going to have to live with I guess.

My first roommate was really annoying in general, but everytime I went home for the weekend she would use all of my things. And when she got an STD, she told everyone my boyfriend purposely gave it to her because he hated her. They didn't even have sex or anything, and that pissed me off.

My second roomie would always use my cds or dvds to do coke off of, and if I left for the weekend, she would have sex in my bed and go through my closet and not even TRY to make it look like she wasn't in my room. She stole all of my alcohol and played 'Insane in the Membrane' on repeat so loud, EVERY night. One night someone looked at her wrong in the bar, and she came home screaming, and broke our glass table, a few windows, the balcony to the staircase, and my cell phone.

My third group of roomies were the ones I got along with best, but they still had their moments. One was sooo loud, always yelling on the phone or banging doors at 3 in the morning. She would also cry loudly every night just to make us come into her room, and then said she was 'just testing our friendship'. The other roomie was so clingy and if you didn't invite her out with you everywhere you went, she would cry about it. I felt bad but didn't want her coming with me everywhere. She also insisted on having the heat on if it was below 80 degrees outside..so it was always cooler outside, even if it was like 78. My other roomie had an abusive boyfriend who would come in drunk every night and push us around...luckily the cops got tired of coming and we got a restraining order against him.

Next year..I'm living alone!

I had a roommate that had her boyfriend move into an apartment two doors down. She kept the door to her room shut so I couldn't tell if she was gone, sleeping or if he was there too since they parked in the same spots whether they were at his place or ours. Several incidents occured in the 9 months we lived together:
1. Boyfriend came over to let himself in and eat our food and leave dirty dishes from his meal (while i was out) when my roommate was out of town.
2. My roommate and I shared 1 bathroom and loaned it to her boyfriend to take nude photographs of other women without asking me or telling me beforehand. He left a mess in the bathroom and melted holes in my shower caddy with the candles he used during the photo session.
3. I had a group of friend over after a christmas event to play trivia pursuit. We got too loud for my roommate so she came down at 10:30 pm and asked us to try to quiet down. I said I didn't know she was there and we'd try. Well, we got loud at one point and we had all agreed to quiet down when the boyfriend stomped down the stairs and threatened to call the police and make us leave. I said they'd make him leave and he laughed in my face and said yea whatever and continued to yell at my friends and me. He called us drunkards (which only one person was drinking and two women were pregnant in the group of . Finally my fiance stepped in and the guy managed to go back to bed.

Needless to say, check out the boyfriends too.

p.s. the smiley face was supposed to be the number eight.

Mine was pretty intolerable. She ALWAYS used my stuff without asking (*especially my laptop...she didn't have one of her own until the very last quarter*), she never cleaned her hair from the sink, she ALWAYS turned on her music/tv up when I went to sleep, she always slammed her door early in the morning...never washed her dishes or did her cleaning duties...always locked me out when I went to the bathroom...all of my house mates could not stand her! But she sounds pretty tame compared to some of your horror stories.

I came home one morning to move some of my stuff home from the dorms because of christmas break. I had told my roommate that I was going to be there early and if she could stay at her boyfriends house i would appreciate it. I came to the dorm in the morning and her and her boyfriend were laying NAKED on MY futon!!! and they had set a USED CONDOM on MY desk!!! I was so pissed!

Yes, and I hope there are no hard feelings if she ever stumbles across this. But lets run down the list:

1. Wouldn't wash her dishes for weeks, but would complain about me running late and not washing mine until coming back.

2. Borrowed my car, and somehow flattened the wheel (not the tire, but the damn wheel).

3. Was filthy: hair glue stuck to everything, black rings around the toilet and in the shower, clothes everywhere. I can see a messy bedroom, but damn, the non-exclusive places?

4. Was argumentative as hell. Like one minute she would be inviting herself out with me and my circle, then the next, she would get upset because she would always feel left out because she was the only one that wasn't invited and wouldn't be in on some of our jokes and discussions.

...I mean she went as far to tell me that there's no such thing as Metro Detroit, and nearly got cursed out for saying some rude stuff to one of my friends. Oh, and she also "took advantage" of my very very drunk friend.

I vowed from that point on to make sure that my subsequent roommates pass mental exams.

not too bad. one borrowed my make-up (yuck) and clothes with out asking. but she was good in other areas. some of these are DO GROSS guess i was lucky!

My freshman year, at my school, everyone is randomly assigned roommates based on nothing - I think it's a random social experiment they are performing on the students.

I lived in a 1 room triple and one of my roommates was very shy by very sweet, and the other one was completely self centered and loud and mean. Screaming for no reason, stomping at throwing things at 5am when she got ready for practice, yelling whenever we opened or closed the windows without her permission, and yelling if we ever moved her things (I'm sorry, with 1 room and 1 sink, sometimes someone will have to move someone else's toothbrush or something. We always did it respectfully... it was just unacceptable to her. But what were we supposed to do???) but moving ours with impunity.

Senior year our friend was going to live with this women, and we warned her not to... but she did anyway, and lived to regret it!!

Nothing too horrifying, but I'll tell you, if I wasn't married, I would NEVER consider living with a roommate. It's just not for me and I don't think it's a fun experience. Did it for 4 years in college, would never want to do it again.

Currently I have a new roommate situation but it's only temporary and I have 47 days left. But I told him at the very beginning that I'm an extremely light sleeper, so things after like 11 pm, just be courteous because once I'm awake, I'm awake, noise and lights bother my sleep really badly.

I thought after saying that he'd understand, but it'll be like midnight and he'll start slamming doors, walk out turn on lights, go back into his room to go to bed, leaving all the lights on! So then I'll go out and turn them off cuz it bothers me so much. But then he'll go out right after and turn them back on! Argh. Plus he'll leave like everything open and on just for whatever reason. I just keep telling my self, 47 more days and then I'll say sayonara but wow, I'm a fairly easy goign person minus that light sleeping part - but I mentioned it so that he wouldn't feel bad and he's done nothing about it!

My favorite roommate experience was a roommate after college that staged a robery in our house and all of MY stuff was stolen because I had renters insurance her snowboard and $5,000 bike were not touched of course. Needless to say I was out of there. That is why I will not have roommates plus I am too old.

Yes, my grad school housing (we don't get to choose roommates or even preferences!) moved this chick in and I had to move out after two weeks. She was NUTS! She was on high doses of 4-5 psychiatric medications-- Adderall, Xanax, Ambien, Prozac, and another I can't remember-- but she was an alcoholic! She would drink six giant Bud Light cans alone in her room every night, then talk on the phone for six hours sometimes sobbing and sometimes screaming at the top of her lungs. The conversations I overheard were frighteningly hostile towards me, even from the first day. When she started throwing things against the wall, I would lock myself into my room. the second week, I stayed with friends every night. Thank God I found a place to move. I confronted her about her behavior, finally, and she broke down and accused me of leaving her. what a nutcase!

I was roommates with a friend before and I HATED it and I would never ever even if I was about to be evicted room with a friend again.

never had a roommate. I always lived by myself or with a boyfriend, so I've been lucky. Live by myself now in a huge place and I love it and my boyfriend lives in his own place. excellent.

Wow, my story sounds really tame compared to you guys... But it was more that she was ridiculous than horrible. She claimed to love baking, but she always baked from a box (like Betty Crocker and stuff) and never from scratch, and she claimed she was so good at it (good at turning on an oven!). And she was always very condescending towards me. She was also a hypocrite. Or I would tell her that a certain night, I would want to go to bed early (and I would give her a specific time), and then about 15-30 minutes before that time, she would start playing a movie with all of her friends over. A few time, when I had been sleeping for a couple hours, I would wake up because she turned on all the lights. One time, she even had her guy over and was talking to him. Ugh. They would also cuddle in front of me, and she would tell me all these things they do... Bah, I'm glad I don't have to live with her again...

My roommate my freshman year in the dorms was awful! She rushed a sorority the first month so she was rarely around. However after that month, she was quickly nicknamed 'hormones' by our suite mates and I because she would be the sweetest person one moment, and then a raging b*tch the next (for no reason!). She never helped clean or contributed financially for food or alcohol. She would steal clothes, shoes, towels, moves, cds...etc, and not return them for weeks, if at all. The ones she did returned most the time were ruined in one way or another. We had to bail her out of jail 4 times in 2 semesters, all for public intoxication or some kind of crazy behavioral issues. She also had really weird habits no one understood - like putting empty containers in the refrigerator or filling shampoo or soap bottles with water. She would come in at 6 or 7 in the morning, waking everyone up, then sleeping all day, even through her obnoxious alarm. She was also the stereotypical drunk college girl - constantly sleeping with different men and becoming a "stage 5 clinger", as one of her sorority sisters told me a certain fraternity referred to her as. She was incredibly stupid too...she had to watch Gone With the Wind for a class one week, so she rented the DVD before her test over it. She came home a few days later saying she failed the test - turns out the DVD was a 2 disc set - and she watched disc 2 before disc 1...and didn't even notice or question that it made no sense! We finally had enough when we all found out that throughout the year at one time or another she had asked each of us (my two suite mates and I), TWICE each, to help her go to an abortion clinic. Not just that, but we each had helped her pay for these. SIX abortions in 8 months!!! She was insane. Luckily her parents found out about some things she did while away and took her back home to stay. The last I heard she was in drug/alcohol rehab.

I had 3 roommates my first year in college ... not at the same time, in succession.
1a) Decided she wanted to switch rooms to live with another girl down the hall ... who was a lesbian. And she has told mutual friends about her experimentation.
1b) Was really nice, but ate lots of oranges which she would slice above the floor and we got ants b/c of the juice. Left the college at Christmas break.
1c) Worked at gun shows for her dad every weekend. We were going to live together sophomore year but I realized I would be alone every weekend, at an apartment complex not near campus when I didn't have a car. The complex pairs up people who need roommates, so they let me switch. She did not take this well and did the passive-aggressive thing with me the rest of the year.

2) Sophomore year was so comparatively not bad that I don't really remember what I would have complained about.

3) Junior year I lived with 3 girls, one of whom was 1c's original freshman roommate. She was just as crazy and reinvented herself every year. Freshman year was sorority girl, soph was church girl, and this year was indie girl. She took up smoking and when we asked her why the apt smelled like smoke, she denied smoking inside. She had a cat who peed everywhere and she would not clean it up. We had 2 bathrooms, one off the hall that my roommate and I shared, and one connected to her room. It was ALWAYS full of cat poop. Her roommate had to use our bathroom and we started hiding the toilet paper in our closet because crazy girl would come steal it instead of buying some herself. She thought we ate her food and accused us of it on multiple occasions, and wrote "Rachel's, do not eat, may contain arsenic" on her shredded cheese. Her friend got kicked out of the house she shared with a bunch of girls and lived the last quarter of the year on our futon (with her mattress leaning against the wall of our dining room and the rest of her stuff piled up).

Needless to say I was super-excited to live by myself senior year. And I have the two years since, although I am moving in with my friend in October. Pray for me! :|

I love this post! A welcome change from all the wedding posts!

Haha Pippins your story reminds me of this roomate I had a few years ago, same deal. She claimed to be really good at baking but used boxed stuff. If that's your definition of baking then anyone can bake! She also was very horny but not very desirable. She would read dirty romance novels and tell me how "intense" they were getting, and then told me I should read them too! I told her, "No thanks, I get sex in real life." LOL

I had terrible roomates my second semester of my freshman year!! I came in halfway through, so they had already bonded I suppose, and I was constantly left out of EVERYTHING.
Besides the whole third wheel aspect, they were everything roomates should not be.
Dirty-literally showered once a week...maybe twice, and not once did I see them brush their teeth...EWW they only did laundry once a month or so, and one of them had TERRIBLE body odor, therefore her clothes stank, therefore our room stank!
Rude-One would slam and bang everything when she woke up for her 8am classes...and she'd stay awake late watching tv on the loudest setting possible while the rest of us were trying to sleep because she'd woken us up early slamming around!!! the other one never ever wanted the blinds open or the window open. she'd sleep till 2 and expect the room to be dead quiet all day until she decided to rise from her death sleep.
Gosspy!!-they constantly talked about other girls, in specific this one girl that they were supposedly were good friends with. one of the roomates had grown up with her, and she constantly spilled family secrets and the poor girls dirty laundry. Not that it mattered, cause when I tried to clue the other girl in on their backstabbing ways, she turned the whole thing around on ME.

Yeah, I'm still kind of bitter about them...they were absolutely terrible, and I will NEVER rely on blind housing assignments again for a good match!

I've had a lot of hellish ones. My BFF lived with me and that doesn't work out well.

Wow, I feel sorry for everyone's pain! I have had some really great roommates and the joy of living with my friends, but I did have one truly awful roommate who was supposedly my best friend. She was just really stressed out all the time and prone to extreme, psychotic b*tchiness. After a few months of random awful things (I think she had undiagnosed OCD, which sucks for her but was also awkward to live with) the sh*t hit the fan one afternoon. My boyfriend was tutoring her in physics, because she was awful at it, and he's oh so nice. Well, I noticed that she seemed to be chatting to people on AIM (back when people still used AIM a ton) but she wasn't on my buddy list. I signed on to another sn and her away message was, "ugggggh stuck with my horrible roommate and her disgusting bf. COME SAVE ME." While.he.was.tutoring.her. I moved out a couple weeks later, and I guess everyone on our floor ended up hating her.

The worst part was that my RA insisted that I was being culturally insensitive because she was asian and I just didn't understand the pressure to perform well because I am white! I was like...wtf...half my effing friends are asian and they're not by default, evil, stress-case b*tches..

UGH. My roommate my fresh-soph years was the most disgusting and vile person I'd ever come into contact with. The first semester I lived with her, she was never there, but somehow in the five minutes she'd come through the room to get something her clothing pile would creep out of her closet another foot and there would be a wrapper or something nasty deposited on one of my nice, clean spaces. The next semester she got a different boyfriend, and watched the O.C. until four in the morning at top volume, knowing full well I had 8:30 classes every morning! Her garbage was everywhere, and I finally had enough of it and moved in with a girl who turned out to be the sweetest, funniest, and most amazing person I've met in college besides my fiance! Speaking of, he's actually an amazing roommate. I love my new apartment!

my current roommate took my bread taped it to my bedroom wall wrote "jodies pumpernickel" next to it and put it on facebook! IT was so weird. I still don't understand.

Nope, all my six roomies throughout college have been great although, of course, they were all exchange students who were either considerate because of their culture or were trying to set a good impression of themselves and their country.

After college, I got a job and lived on my own.

i had amazing roommates in high school and college, and so when I moved abroad after college I didn't hesitate to live with someone else... a poor choice on my part. I lived with one girl that literally NEVER did dishes - i mean, every plate, fork, pot and pan in the apartment would be dirty - and sometimes when the sink was too full of dirty dishes she would just leave pots and pans on the stove. She would also go grocery shopping and ask me to pay for half, but then would do things like forget to put the meat in the refrigerator or buy yogurts past their expiration date... and still expect me to pay for half.

She wound up moving out because she got a job in another city, but she invited a friend of hers to move into her room, and the new girl was twice as bad - still never did dishes, but also deadbolted the door and then 'slept through' me ringing the doorbell and calling her phone to let me in (i slept in the hallway), ate all my food, and more than tripled our monthly gas bill (i still have no idea how she used that much gas).

I'm moving in with my fiancé next month and I couldn't be happier

I am having THE WORST housemate EVER!! right now. this moment.

He is DISGUSTING. He burps. He never cleans up. He pours drinks into the rubbish bin & never took it out & even clean it! He stomps. He talks very loudly. He brings friends over past midnights. He never chips in. He got REAAALLLY offended if I tell him off. If his things / time get cut down by some emergencies, he gets waaay offended & rude.

I hate him! I hate him with vengeance!!

His mom stayed over christmas ... and says that "Oh, he's only a little child".
He's freaking 24 years old!!!!!

ARGHHH!!!!

WHERE DO I BEGIN?

Pretty much every shared housing situation I have been in has ended in some kind of ruin.

My last housemate was pretty much unhinged and burst in on me at 4am in the middle of me writing my dissertation to SCREAM at me for an hour. Unbelievable. I had to leave for 2 and a half weeks just so I could get some peace!

I lived with a spanish guy who would have shouting matches with me over the cleaning.

I lived in halls in Uni with 6 guys and 2 girls... nightmare situation.

Nope
But only because I have only ever lived with my boyfriend.
Hoenstly, I don't think I could handle living with anyone else!

I've had terrible roomies...
One who tried to be my mother, and instructed me when I was to shower in the because coming in from the studio late and opening the door and grabbing my stuff to shower at night, woke her up.. She gave me so many rules! So I moved in with a friend down the hall.. well a few months later, her boyfriend basically started living with us & they would totally bang on the bunk above me.. eww.
My next roommate stole my BF, and then brought him back to our room to do things with.. not fun to walk in on... I had a roomie that like to blast gospel music at 8am on Sunday while she was getting for church, and the same girl never did dishes or cleaned her bathroom.. ugh.
I had to take a breather from roommates after those winners!

Wow, I could go on and on about my last roomate but here goes:

He worked at a beer and liquor warehouse, and brought home tons of beer every day he worked. Some days just a six pack and some days it was cases and cases. He stacked the cases up all over the living room and kitchen, making the pantry inaccessible. The fridge barely had room for food. Everytime I took bottles out and put them in the pantry, they got jammed back in when I was gone.

Also, he had different girls over ALL TIME TIME (under 21 girls who wanted beer, of course) and he would have sex with them so loudly that it would wake me up. I told him every morning to stop it, but he never ceased. My fiance, who lived there too, told me that if I called the cops on the guy for giving the underage girls beer, that we could be counted as accessories to the crime, including the fact that the guy had pot in the house).

The reason I stayed was because I was finishing up college and I needed cheap rent that was close to campus (1 mile away and $200 a month per person). But good Lord above, I don't miss that *sshole one drop!

I had a few bad experiences with my first (and only) college roommate. She would invite guys back to our room and either stay up until 3AM or invite them to sleep over. Once I went to sleep and woke up, my roommate was gone, and there was a strange guy asleep in her bed.

Then one day I found a charge for a porn site in my checking account. Some of my spare checks had been stolen from my desk drawer.

I had another suitemate who was a compulsive liar. Mostly she would make up silly stories that were obviously lies, but sometimes she would make up stories to try to get money out of people. She told me that I clogged up the kitchen sink and that I owed her $300 for the handyman (we lived in the dorms so they do all repairs).

Wow. I only had roommates the summer of second year. I guess I was lucky to have a single room in the dorm for three years, though I had wanted a roommate in first year just so I could bond with someone.. Anyways, I like some of my roommates -- they were nice, clean, and considerate, but the others were incredibly messy. They never cleaned. They used my stuff without asking, ate my food, especially my juice and milk -- they were nearly empty or already gone by the time I got to them, and one girl even used my razor to shave her pubic hair! So gross. There was hair all over it! They would take over the living room and glared at me if I so much as went to the kitchen to get a drink.

This post is READING my mind. I am in the most horrible experience right now, and am moving out in a few weeks because of it (all of us are for our own reasons). This one girl makes my life hell, but the funny thing is she is never like that to our other roommate (who is a nice girl btw...but so am I). She is extremely passive-aggressive and has had a special problem with me from day one. I can swear to God I have been extremely polite and considerate with her. I sincerely don't know what her problem is. I am really saying a prayer that my next batch of roommates won't contain a HORROR like this one.

Having said that, my very first roommate experience (before this one) was a blast; I had two other girls on my floor who were just too cool and fun, there was another girl on another floor who was a bit grumpy but I didn't have to deal with her much.

DearSugar, pls say a prayer for me!
