Wanted: Your Funniest Roommate Stories
 
I figured that this topic would get a lot of answers. I just wanted to know what everyone's greatest roommate story is. Did you end up living with a complete nutcase like I did my freshman year? Post it here! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Luckily, I live with my friends this year so there hasn't been that many problems. Last year, when I was in the dorms, I played Russian Roulette with my roommate choice and ended up getting the oh-so-famous Roommate From Hell. You know...the kind who never takes out the trash, walks around naked, keeps weird hours, and says some of the most oddest things. The best example I have is this one night when I had a HUGE economics test early the next morning. She went out drinking and came home completely wasted at 4am. She brought home a bunch of guys she had met at the club to hang out in our room. They all get sick all over our floor and, since I was the only sober one, I had to clean it up. She then decided to streak the campus. She also use to leave me messages on our mirror with toothpaste. It would be like "Be home at 7". I never understood why she couldn't just use paper and pen like a normal person.
Ok, that's my story. I'm curious to hear what everyone else's stories are! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

After college, I lived with three other girls. The first year was great so I signed for a second year- BIG MISTAKE. One of the girls was not only very wealthy but owned her own Christian Book Store. So, I come in one day and she is wearing my shirt. I commented on it and she denied it was my shirt. She was 4'9 and I am 5'9 - it was huge on her plus had a bleach stain on it so I knew it was mine. Next day- she has another one of my shirts on and still denied it was mine. So- I buy locks for my room. While she was at work- her laundry was by the machine and I looked at the shirt to just make triple sure it was mine. Get this-the psycho had ripped out the label and stitched in a new one with "size small" on it- The sewing job was so awful and obvious plus the shirt was a large! So- I moved out immediately. Later- met up with the other two roommates and they told me she had a history of stealing other people's stuff. It just showed me that even the rich and religous aren't perfect.

Where to begin...where to begin....

I've had a string of horrible roomates. The one I had first semester of Freshman year was MAKING drugs. She was trying to mix up morning glory seeds and paint thinner to create LSD I think. After I moved out of there, I was put in with a spoiled daddy's girl who insisted I was always annoying her by typing too loudly, etc, and who refused to let me bring a portable TV with headphones into the room. She said the light would distract her. After that, I moved home.

For the next year and a half, I had private rooms in the dorms, and it was great. This year, I moved into an on-campus apartment with 3 other girls. One of the girls, I've known forever and is great. The other two...are another story.

One girl (the main problem) refuses to do anything other than what she wants. She screams and complains how she always has to clean up and how messy we are, yet rarely cleans up her own messes. She smokes either in the apartment with the window open, or right outside the open front door, allowing all the smoke to come in. She had her boyfriend come and stay for about 4 days, and he spent most of the time sitting around with his shirt off in the living room. I was sitting in the living room, trying to study, and they just decided to move a party in there, no apologies, excuses or explanations. I had to leave the place to get any quiet. She also had a party the friday night before finals. All 5 times I asked her to please quiet down, she rudely said "yeah, fine, whatever" and turned the music down for 5 minutes and then it started back loud again. She also had a party in the middle of the week once, the night before I had a test. When at 2 am, I nicely asked her to either close her door or turn her music off, she said "go to bed, you're being rude, so I can be rude too. just shut up and go to bed." The best part of it all is that when our RA has spoken to her about this, she's come back and told me 1.) how childish it was to call him about it, 2.) how if I would have talked to her first it would have been worked out *yeah right* and 3.) that calling him is not going to make her do anything she doesn't want to do.

Wow...sorry this is so long...I guess I just have baaaaad luck with roomates. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

One of my roommates was a complete moocher. Of course she didn't see it that way. She had brothers and sisters where I'm an only child. She accused me of being selfish http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif and I said she was a thief and greedy. She didn't have a car either. I don't mind sharing or giving rides, but ask first! Don't ASSume that because you don't see me doing anything, means I'm your personal taxi.

What gets me is that I would have good snack food like chips, candy, etc. Her idea of snack food was offering me green beans or carrots? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif I'm thinking what the h*ll??

Needless to say we weren't roomies the next year, which was okay by me.

this one girl was from a small town in upstate ny and i am fromn nyc. anyway, everytime i would get dressed she would make sacrcastic comments about why i was soooo dressed up. then the weekend would come and she would be soo nasty to me and everyone b/c she hated her outfit. i would offer her clothing , ect. even so she was still nasty. everyone hated her!! it wasn't long before all of her sarcastic comments stopped and she started to be my little clone. it was sick!! she's gone now and boy are we all happy!!!!

lifesaver 01-05-2001 03:00 PM

God i have like 12 of them.

When I lived in the chapter house I shared a room with Tyler. Great guy and would give you the shirt off his back. He was a year older than me and I was a freshman so I kinda looked up to him, well anyway I moved into the house in August and by December he had this girlfriend, nancy. She was a real sweetie and lived about 30 miles out of town. After they started going out I noticed he had quit using deoderant. Noticably so. I enquired and he calimed to be using it still. Well Nancy began crashing in our room at the house becaus eshe hated the drive. It was then that I noticed tyler's bo was really bad in the mornings when we'd all wake up. This went on for a few days and then one morning about 3 Am I rolled over to see them screwing in front of me all porn star style. anyway, I put two and two together and came to figure out it was Nancy that was smelling, and it wasn't BO. This was some unholy funk. it permiated everything. The stench would linger in the room for 48 hours after. It would be in the shower after she was there. You could tell where she had been in the house by how it smelled. Glade wouldn't eve phase her stank. I am not making this up, but the only odor suppressant that would work was Raid. Fortunately thay broke up two months later but it was a rough two months. Alls I can say is that it musta been some good stuff to endure that odor.

I have tons more stories, some clean, some not so clean I'll post when I have a chance. I am on a deadline at work today. coming tomorrow... Bloody Palms!!!

Lifesaver - okay - GROSS! I would've never made it for 2 months with that - YUCK!

I was a junior when I transferred in, so I was supposed to be rooming with a high school buddy of mine - well she never showed. So I end up with this girl who was a freaking fruitcake! She broke my TV, fan, etc. When I would come in late from studying she or one of her friends would be asleep in my bed. One night I awoke to all this chatter and I looked down off my bunk, and see her and about 5 guys snorting coke right there in the room with me -- I totally freaked out on her (I have never done illegal drugs including "just pot" so I certainly don't want to be busted for these idiots) -- needless to say she started talking trash about me but I don't care - she ended up flunking right out of school (*yea*)! I then finally got to move to the dorm I wanted. I had a roommate who was an AX so that worked out pretty okay (I still hadn't pledged yet) - halfway through that semester a room opened so I had a private room (the best!). The fall (when I pledged) I got another whacko - she was totally into the Grateful Dead, black satin sheets, candles everywhere, and just plain weird. I would get up and leave in the middle of the night because I'd hear her and her man of the hour having sex (okay - gross). I finally got rid of her (she flunked out too) and got my private room back. Of course by then I had new roomies (my now husband and gang) so I always stayed with the 6 of them anyway - it was much warmer in their dorm because it faced the sun. Guys are SO MUCH better to live with - if they piss you off, you just say "screw you" and they say "screw you too" and its over -- girls hold grudges and all that crap -- can't deal with that!

My mother used to call me to wake me up for my 8 o'clock -- I still don't know how she found out I was missing that class more often than not -- and she'd call to the guys room, and since we'd all be watching a movie and fall asleep wherever we were laying, she'd have to hear each one of them before the phone would reach me -- I think she really wondered about my lifestyle http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Of course it was all completely innocent http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Ahhh - those were the good 'ol days!

Gosh, my last year roommate was a freak and an idiot (but I was probably the roommate from hell). Instead of telling me what was wrong, she'd leave me notes...while I was in the room! She never took out the trash, left meat in the fridge over Christmas (a month long holiday), so I returned to the stench of rotting meat. Her side of the room was so bad, but she didn't seem to notice, 'cause she studied 110% of the time, and criticized me for managing my time a litte more wisely than she did. She accused me of being spoiled. One of my friends was in the room while she was talking with family from home...talking (in Chinese) about how her roommate was a rich spoiled whore. Little did she know, my friend knew Chinese and told her off! You never know who knows Chinese!

Needless to say, I'm in a single now. I don't plan on sharing a room with anyone (maybe a suite or house) until I'm married or cohabitating.

OH MY GOODNESS, where should I start, or which one? There were 2 (different semesters) who were from hell, then there was this one who was strange! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Okay, #1

This thing was so dirty, junkie, nasty, it was horrible. I mean, I don't always make up my bed, but this chick never did, I don't think she EVER in that one semester change her sheets! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif
The girl would eat and NOT wash her containers! She was just ALL around dirty. When the dorm mother came in for inspection, which was EVERY Thursday, do you think she had the nerve to try to clean...heck no! It was ridiculous...one side clean and the other side all messed up. Then the girl, did not go to class. Everytime I got up, she was asleep, when I came in, she was asleep. But she did love to hang on the phone. Mind you, I had just crossed the semester before. So my Big Sisters wanted to see us. I would see my LS and they were like why didn't you come to this and that....Do you know that heffa was not giving me my messages? My big sisters were leaving messages ON MY MACHINE and the so and so had NOT GIVEN THEM TO ME!
I HAD TO TELL THE DORM MOTHER TO GET ME OUT OF THERE CAUSE I WAS GONNA HAVE TO HURT HER!

I was so glad I had a car, I didn't know what to do!

#2
This girl was a freshman. She was many miles from home. Since I had a car and all, I would take her to the store, etc. Mind you, this girl didn't come to school with alot. Later, this girl gets with some of her friends and she did something that pissed me off! Anyway, I did not allow her to use any of my stuff...my phone, stereo, iron, tv, answering machine, etc. If she had to go some where I didnot take her! She had to get there the best way she could. I LOCKED ALL MY STUFF IN MY LOCKER!

AFTER THAT, I MOVED OFF CAMPUS. I WAS TOO OLD (20) TO BE LIVING WITH THOSE TRIFLING FOLKS! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

ALL IN ALL, I DID ENJOY MY DORM EXPERIENCE...I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE, TAKE AWAY THOSE ROOMIES...BUT THAT'S PART OF LIFE! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Hehe, when I left for Christmas, there were dishes and jambalaya in the sink. Not mine, of course...its property of the evil ones...

And speaking of bilingual roomates, one of mine is Nicaraguan, and loves to talk in Spanish in front of me. She thinks its funny to say my name so I'll know she's talking about me and then insult me in Spanish...please...if you're going to have the gall to insult me, at least be brave about it and let me know what you're saying! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

The fall semester of my Junior year had to be the worst 4 months of my entire college career. I had no where to live, so I signed up to leave with three guys I didn't know, thinking I could endure four months of it. Well I moved in and it only went from bad to worse. First off, most of my freinds were greek at the time. Two of the roommates had handed in their letters from one of our fraternity's and had gotten them in a lot of trouble. So you couldn't be seen with either of them on campus without risking your life. Then my other roommate would study at the kitchen table with those huge airplane headphones on. He said he couldn't stand the noise of our apartment. He would be completely alone and still have them on. Then he started to sleep with them on. He would also go to bed at 8 p.m. every night and bitch if we were loud. Finally, we started to get "attacked" by brothers from all the houses on campus because the two who quit would pick fights with all fraternity people. I couldn't have friends over without anti-Greek insults being tossed around. To make a bad time worse, the one gained 40+ pounds in one semester because all he did was watch tv and look up porn on his computer. I had no problem keeping my friends away after they saw him. The other started having panic attacks. His mother, his uncle, state troopers, and the paramedics were at my apartment almost everyday. In the end I think all three dropped out of college. It was just the most chaotic semester of my life. To say the least I rarely spent any time there...

To quote someone else on this thread: where to begin?

Because I went straight through 9 years of school to get a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate, I had a lot of roommates. Some were great...but did I ever have some nominees for Roommate From Hell. My first one ever spent hours spying on the SAE House with binoculars and making obscene phone calls to guys. Then I had the coke seller, the one who brought sailors into her room at the apt. for one-night-stands, the one who baked elaborately for herself but wouldn't wash the pans, the 2 who would bring guys into our apt. bedroom at 3 AM and turn on the stereo(to heck with the fact that 2 of us were already asleep in there!)--oh wow, are the memories coming back.

And yesterday my college freshman daughter, a strong Christian, told me she's afraid that her new roommate is going to be this loon who is into strange religious practices and whose boyfriend never leaves when the girl does. This is why her (the loon's) last roommate got rid of her. I feel so strongly for my daughter, having to watch her start to go through the same crap that I (heck, most college students) did.

well when i was in the dorms, i lived with my best friend so that wasnt really a problem. The only thing that would bug me sometimes would be that when we would go to bed, she would still be online talking to her boyfriend and the typing would drive me nuts. Our neighbors were a different story! The ones that lived across the hall from us would have their door open 24/7...thats a common thing, i know- but when you come back from the shower, have a little dignity for everyone else and shut the door while you get dressed!! The ones that were caddy corner from us had one girl that would play the guitar ALL day- morning noon and night! The ones to our left would always be extremely LOUD at like 3am!! We both had 8am classes so we needed our sleep. Asking them to quiet down didnt work, so finally my roommate would bang on the wall.... as time went on, they would bang back!! We then later got used to going to bed around 3,4am unfortunately and waking up around 7am for our classes and then in the afternoon we would take about a 3-4 hour nap. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gifThen there were the ones on the right of us... to make a long story short... my roommate had gone to class leaving the door unlocked but closed while i was taking a nap. My neighbor knocks on the door.. but since i was trying to take a nap i didnt answer. Well she OPENS the door, walks in and leaves. I wasnt all the way asleep so i heard her walk in. Why didnt i look up the first time? i dont know! but anyway, she did this two more times! she would leave, come back and walk in. The third time she did this i heard like keys rattling, so then i pop my head up...turns out she had gone back to her room to get a jacket so she would get in my purse and steal my money. My wallet had a set of key rings hooked on to it and they were sitting on top of my purse which was VERY visible. When she saw me look up she jumped and was like "uh, umm... i just wanted to see if you had the biology notes that i missed today!!" HELLO, my notes wouldnt be in my purse!!! so needless to say, we kept our door closed and locked at all times after that! After that semester she was kicked out of school for more reasons that one. I had like around 80 dollars in my wallet but she didnt take it. I looked up as she was about to though!! Now I am living at home, so i dont have any stories to share. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

My sophomore year I was fortunate to get a campus apartment. Usually the apartments go to juniors and seniors but that year I lucked out.

My roommate that year was a cross between Ruthie on the Real World Hawaii and Phoebe Buffay on Friends. She'd get piss drunk on occasion, but she was also a good friend who you could rely on when you needed her.

One night during spring finals week she wanted to do something stupid. It was 3 in the morning and I'm like "don't bother me I'll be in the living room studying". So she takes our TV and VCR from the living room and brings it into our room. She then hooks them up to her stereo speakers and faces them toward the window. She puts in a video--it's PORN. Then she presses the "AUX" button on her stereo, and at 3 in the morning the entire apartment complex was awakened by the PORN movie.

Everyone's screaming and yelling just like in Eddie Murphy's Coming to America (I know you know what scene I'm talking about) and she almost got in trouble. Our RA wanted to punish her but even he had to admit that it was funny and he only issued her a warning. That and she had to let him borrow the video.

I also forgot to mention--
One summer I lived with another group of 3 girls. I knew that one of them was a lesbian, and I respected as long as she didn't make any advances toward me. One day I was searching through her video library (I was bored and I needed something to watch) so I found a dubbed copy of "The Lion King", only it wasn't the Lion King. It was a girl-girl porn movie. I don't know what it is about me and roommates and porn.

Two weeks later I caught that girl and our OTHER roommate in the same bed under the covers. I have nothing against lesbians, but I can't handle it in my own house, IN MY OWN ROOM! I marched right to the RA and requested that I be moved immediately.

Sometimes I miss living in the dorms, and then I think about that one summer, and I'm glad that I live at home now.

I'll make my story short. I ended up with a goth for a roommate. I walked into my room one day to find her and her boyfriend completely naked. They were lying on top of each other with a sword in between them. I moved out the next day.

Today's installment: Bloody Palms

I was living with a brother named Lee. Great guy, prone to the occasional fainting spell (a whole nother Montel). Anyway he was really messy yada yada yada. Well We all went out to grab a bite at this burger joint everyone eats at across from campus. well, he hooks up with this girl about half of the chapter had had "run-ins" with. anyway, they do their business and after some drinking, everyone leaves the apartment, and I head off to bed. I am the first one up the next morning, and as I am fixing (that texan thing) some cereal, I saw something on the floor, upon closer inspection, it was blood. it was on the couch, carpet, fridge, and the best part.. Bloody handprints all over the walls. Everywhere. I thought someone had been stabbed or something, until my roomate explained that Rochelle was on the rag. I don't have a lot of experience with the feminine plumbing system, but I would have assumed that someone would have lost conciousness after loosing that much blood. We almost lost our deposit because we were still finding blood 6 months later at move-out.

Tomorrow...the naked roomate with the bow and arrow.

I live with the roommate from hell now. It started soooo innocently.... She and I went to high school together adn decided to room together when we realized that we were going to the same university. Well, the first week was OK. Then everything went downhill. She didn't EVER go to class, she never cleaned, she made tons of noise at odd hours, etc. The very very very worst part is her dedication to her boyfriend. Now, it is GREAT to love your sig. other, but staying up until 2:00 am (and keeping you roommate up) to tell him how much you love him over and over and over and over just gets ANNOYING! I started complaining to her and in retaliation she started spreading rumors about me. For instance, I (supposedly) shower once a week. EEWWWW! 1. Why would she be keeping track of when I shower? & 2. That has just got to be the dumbest lie ever! Anyone would reek after not showering. But, she started that crap, and told her parents that I was staying on the phone 'til all hours and never going to class and that was why her grades were so bad. Her parents would call and ask to talk to me, and then lecture me on how I need to be considerate of Beth!!! I flipped, but was nice enough to only tell them to go to Heck, and just wait until their beloved daughter's phone bill comes in the mail. They left me alone after that. Her grades were atrocious (1.44 GPA). She has no friends here, and she's been kicked out of her sorority. She's scheduled all her classes this semester on Tues. and Thurs. so that she can spend Thurs. through Monday with her boyfriend who lives FOUR hours away and is at least a decade older than she is. It's great for me, because she's hardly ever here. I kinda feel sorry for here. But I can't figure why on earth she's in college here and not back home. She really drives me crazy. And she's still saying crazy stuff about me, but no one pays any attention to her.

My roommate is no where near as bad as some of you guys, but I feel better just whining about it!

Oh good lord in heaven! What in the world were they doing to leave such....well....an impression?! I'm here to tell you about the feminine plumbing system -- put the "closed" sign out to observe the monthly penance.

I hope the bow & arrow story is not as gross -- but these are hilarious!

OK, back by popular demand, the bow and arrow story. After I moved out of the chapter house I got my first apartment (all of you who can remember what it was like to finally have your own apartment, off campus insert feel good feeling here - till the first light bill arrives) anyway, James (pretty much the character Cliff, from Dead Man on Campus) and I were brothers in the house but got tired of the crazyness and moved out. Well James had been about the wildest brother we had, but had tamed down considerably, due to the influence of a lovely young woman, Victoria. Anyway, I needed to move out and decide to take my chances with James. Well, we move in together and all seems cool, till I discover some unique traits James has. First, he loves to be naked. I could tell when he was home because there would be a line of clothes from the front door to his bedroom in this order, shoe, shoe, sock, belt, sock, shirt, pants, skivies. And there James would be, nekid (remember, this is the south) as sin, playing on the computer. Not too, too bad, since he was in his room. But it gets worse, Victoria was naked all the time too, and the slept with the door open, I got up before them, so each day I was greated with a new body part. I never saw so much sack and crack in my whole life. I don't think I know MY body that well. Not the first thing you want to see in the AM as you are trying to choke down out of date OJ.

Anyway, James' fav'o hobby was watching TV on the couch...naked. (We actually refered to him as Naked Boy) But get this he LOVED to play with his balls. No matter who was over. Sittin' on the couch strummin' his nuts. My bedroom door faced the couch, so everytime I'd come out of my room, I got the lovely nut shot.

He gets a snake, knowing I have this huge fear of them (I grew up here in texas. there are no GOOD snakes) and would emerge from his room occasionally with "the look", "uh oh, I cant find the snake." Whence I would evacuate the premises till said snake was found. (I later discovered this was a cruel rouse for him and Victoria to doink on my $350 Ralph Lauren comforter.

One week for initiation and pre-rit he decided to torture all of us (because of the close company the actives spend with each other that week) and not Shower for the ENTIRE WEEK. Let me tell you, this kid was one smelly bast*rd anyway. I can actually remember the last night of pre-rit him sitting on the couch at the house putting his hands in his pants, thumbing his nuts, and then marveling at how bad his balls smelled. he almost got his ass kicked after that stunt when he started putting his hands in other's faces. Anyway, the bow and arrow story.

After much drinking one night by James he decides to walk to the chapter house with his potato gun in hand (if you don't know what one is, it's a piece of PVC pipe with a flint in the end, you jam a potato in one end, open the flint end, spray some aqua net hair spray for propellent, seal it up and twist the flint, launching the potato about 200 yards) Anyway, some dudes we didn't know show up at the house and after they are asked to leave, start some crap. James emerges NAKED on the chapter roof with his potato gun and bow and arrow (a real hunting one) and trys to "defend" the house. Except he was shooting at everyone. (Read- Risk Managment Disaster waiting to happen here) I felt like I was in 1963 at UT when the bell tower guy went nuts. UPD shows up, along with about 25 other law enforcement agencies. James refused to come off the roof. After he had exhausted his supply (limited, thank god)of arows, he pulls out the bag o' potatoes. And procedes to fire them at the officers. They werent about to shoot him, it would have looked too bad in the papers, assualt by starch. So they wait till he uses up all the potatoes, and tackel him on the roof. (not a job I would have volunteered for). it should be pretty obvious james spent several days in jail for that stunt. The only reason he didn't go to the mental hospital is that his mom is a psycologist. After living with him for 9 months I felt like I needed a psychologist.

Oddly enough, the SOB is making like $250,000 a year in Seattle doing programming for Microsoft. Good luck Mr. Gates. You'll need it.

Okay...my story doesn't even come close to any of lifesaver's but i need to rant a little bit.

The roommate I was supposed to share my apartment with decided not to come back to school and told me this 4 days before the lease began so I had to (*ugh*) place an ad in the newspaper and put flyers on campus. I would not recommend this to anyone unless there are a lot of people looking for a place to live. I got a couple calls a day but for the first few days they were all foreign grad students. Then my current roommate came by and I was so excited to have someone who wasn't foreign and didn't mind that I was messy and had a cat that I didn't really care about much else. So everything's good at first except that she started putting all this hideous hello kitty stuff and cheesy stickers all over the place. Then I notice that she's constantly eating my food and not buying anything to replace it. And I absolutely cannot stand techno music due to the fact that she plays it very loudly, all the time (even when I'm sick or asleep). She's incredibly rude to my friends on the phone and rarely gives me my messages but expects me to write down every detail of the 20 or so messages she gets each day. She has her friends over and they smoke weed downstairs (I don't touch the stuff) and she hasn't asked me once if I minded. Oh! She also wants to start growing shrooms in her closet. We went 4 days without toilet paper (I was on a ski trip these days) because it was her turn and she was too cheap to buy any. And last night I left the living room light on when I went to bed because I didn't want her coming home in the dark and she left me a note bitching about me wasting electricity! Also, one time I was about to use the toilet when I noticed there were massive amounts of pubic hair floating around. And she wears so much makeup that the buttons on my phone have turned beige (she has her own phone). Okay, so basically I can't stand the girl but I guess it could worse.

Dear Lifesaver,
Perhaps a warning sign should accompany your post - "Warning - May Cause Serious Laughter That Makes Everyone In Your Office Come Down To See What You Are Laughing So Hard About That You Can't Breathe or See Straight, Much Less Answer The Phone!"

That was the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard. I cannot believe that there are people out there who are totally insane like that. I am sending a copy of this post to my co-workers so that they will understand my total hysteria.

This is more emgrassing then funny.

I live in the on campus apartments with three other girls. I unfortunately have the room that faces the front door. That means I can heard when people go up and door the stairs and I am usually the one who hears when people are knocking at the door.

So last night, I had just gone to bed and I hear a knock on the door. I look out my window to see who it was. Got to the door and the guy goes "Is Darrell here?" Since I didn't know any Darrell, I assumed the guy had the wrong apartment and told there was no person named Darrell there.

So about 10 minutes later, there was another knock on the door. I threw off the covers and stomp to the front door to see who it is that keeps knocking at the door. I open the door all p*ssed off and it's another guy asking for this person named Darrell. What I am hot and kind of go off on the guy saying that there is no Darrell there and I don't appericate him knocking on my door asking for somebody who doesn't live there. Dude just looked at me like I was crazy and left.

So thinking that it's a joke or something, I call the front desk b*tching and moaning how there are like strange guys knocking on my door asking for this invisible person named Darrell. So about 15 mintues later, I hear somebody in the living room. It was my new roomate that just moved in last week. She was sitting on the couch watching tv with her friend. And guess who that friend was? You guessed it.....Darrell

OK, back by popular demand, the bow and arrow story. After I moved out of the chapter house I got my first apartment (all of you who can remember what it was like to finally have your own apartment, off campus insert feel good feeling here - till the first light bill arrives) anyway, James (pretty much the character Cliff, from Dead Man on Campus) and I were brothers in the house but got tired of the crazyness and moved out. Well James had been about the wildest brother we had, but had tamed down considerably, due to the influence of a lovely young woman, Victoria. Anyway, I needed to move out and decide to take my chances with James. Well, we move in together and all seems cool, till I discover some unique traits James has. First, he loves to be naked. I could tell when he was home because there would be a line of clothes from the front door to his bedroom in this order, shoe, shoe, sock, belt, sock, shirt, pants, skivies. And there James would be, nekid (remember, this is the south) as sin, playing on the computer. Not too, too bad, since he was in his room. But it gets worse, Victoria was naked all the time too, and the slept with the door open, I got up before them, so each day I was greated with a new body part. I never saw so much sack and crack in my whole life. I don't think I know MY body that well. Not the first thing you want to see in the AM as you are trying to choke down out of date OJ.

My first semester of college my roommate was so weird. She wouldn't give me my messages, she didn't know how to vacuum, our vent was dripping, but instead of taking action she didn't do anything so I did. The worst happened when she crapped her pants. She tried saying it was the sap from the tress- i had told her there was a stain on her pants, Then she changed and said oh it's not sap..nevermind you don't want to know she said. Gross- the worst part was the stain never came out. Whenever I saw her wear those stained overalls i got grossed out so one day she pissed me off so I threw them away. She never knew. 2nd semester my roommate was always having sex- she never left a note so I always ended up walking in on them- she would get p.o. like I was to blame. You would've never known that she was like this by looking at her- studious and plain. No offense meant by the last comment.

Even though I had a boyfriend during freshman year of college, I had come to have a phobia with roommates that have boyfriends.

My first roommate (which was drawn by thte housing lottery)met her first serious boyfriend on campus. they actually met each other first week of school and by friday they were a couple. now the guy hung out at our room literally 24/7. now our dorm rooms are tiny, and 3 people can be really suffocating. they ate together, slept together n stuff. they were distracting from their talking and PDA that I had to go elsewhere to study (to keep my scholarship). its funny because i never went off on people before until i met her. i also never saw them do a shred of homework (funny coz the guy is transferring to community college next semester,guess he did pretty bad). my roommate also has a habit of taking my stuff while im home on weekends. if i come back i would see that my Ralph Lauren fleece blanket would be on her bed (which they probably had sex in--yuck), so i make her wash it. she was also anti-Greek. now i entitle people to their opinions but if the dissing gets too far i fight back. anyway her and her bf always had sex whenever im in class or in a Greek obligation and i have caught them one too many times. i told her to just leave a note on the door so i wont come in but she refused to, and so after i caught them two more times, i blew my top off and moved out.

my second roommate was weird as well--for the fact that she was never there. her boyfriend has a single room in the "richest"dorm in campus so i guess they like being together 24/7 in such a nice pad. she only came in to get clothes or drop off her laundry n stuff. so for about a month and a half i enjoyed a single room to myself. then they broke up, and she didnt take it too well. of course she has to "move" back to our room and i had to adjust to having a roommate because i was used to and loving being by myself. she was a nutcase. i would go to sleep and wake up at 2:30 am coz she would call her bf and cry and ask him to take her back and i could just try to shut her out. sometimes when he comes over they just literally fought and yelled. this lasted for lik e2 weeks and she found another guy at home so she came home every weekend. whew.

I love the potato gun story too much to not want to share it. :)

I don't know how funny this would be to anyone else, but it was really funny at the time.

Two years ago, I was living with three other girls and we were watching the MTV Music Awards on TV. One girl was upstairs doing something, but she said to call her when Britney came on. (It was a running joke because she hates Britney Spears...really just wanted to see what kind of skanky outfit she'd be wearing). So later we yelled up to her, "Hurry up, you're missing Britney!" and she came running down the stairs. Well, we had a curved staircase and the middle steps were pretty narrow. So, when she was coming down, she tripped, went flying in the air, and landed in a tangle of arms and legs at the bottom of the stairs. We went over to help her up and all our other roommate could say was "ugh! you missed Britney!" :p
