Annoying roomate(s)
For all of you dorm/apartment dwellers, what is it that your roomate(s) do/does that makes you the maddest? Here's mine:
I just came in from class a while ago, I'm sick and need to eat something to take some medicine. Well, I go to look for my bread. Turns out one of my roomates decided that it needed to be frozen. I asked her why she didn't ask me and she said "well, I didn't know who it belonged to." In that case DON'T TOUCH IT. Sheesh. This is the same roomate who, when asked to help buy toilet paper said "oh, I'll just go steal some rolls from the dorms" and who flat out refused to put some of her stuff in the bathroom cabinets, as opposed to the counter top to give us more space. So, what is everyone else's roomate horror story? |
I had the worst roommate experience my junior year. She was a nice, quiet girl that had lived down my hall sophomore year. She was looking to move out of the dorms and was looking for a roomy. I was in the same situation too. So we decided to get a place.
So everything started off fine. We got a fabulous place slightly off campus. We decided to just buy groceries together since we liked a lot of the same foods. Everything was good. Until her family stepped in. Why oh why did her mother and brother come to visit like ALL the time!! Not only would they just visit, but they'd bring family friends and whoever else wanted to come. Her mother was infatuated w/ our place and she'd always joke about coming to live w/ us and how she wish she had a place like ours. Well she wasn't joking. She might as well have moved in w/ us cuz she was there so dang much! I thought I was gonna go insane. I realized that this was her family and all, BUT , that doesn't just give her to right to come to our place ALL the time. She would show up at like 11 or 12 at night! This woman lived 45 min away from our school! I could go on and on about it. I would tell my mom and even my mom was pissed about it. That was just one problem. My roommate also had a boyfriend. Now at first he came over a lot. I didn't really care too much b/c they would just go in my roomy's room. BUT, this dude smelled like you wouldn't believe!! Let's just say that when I would come home from work, I knew he was over cuz our apt would smell like him!! Ugh, it was nasty. He would come over right after work and would throw his smelly coat on our sofa. It was sick! And my roomy KNEW he smelled. She would joke around like "Haha, doesn't he stink? He won't go shower after work..." UGH! I didn't understand why she put up w/ that. THEN, he would eat up the food that I paid for w/ my hard earned money! That really pissed me off. He'd also bring his friends over and they'd mess up every dish in the kitchen! It was just the worst! I vowed never, ever to live w/ someone again until I got married! |
I have some roomate horror stories.
Freshman year I had a roomate in the dorms, she was nice at first, we were going to be friends but we could live with each other. Until she started to hang out with a girl down the hall that liked my boyfriend (who later became my husband!) Lots of problems, but this day really sticks out as the worst. So one day she decided to change the answering machine message to one of the cute song things. She left the room to go down the hall to check the message, I just came back and picked up the phone when it rang. She said she was trying to check the messages, I said that there were none. I didn't know she was down the hall and just changed the outgoing message. Since I didn't know what she was talking about she got angry and we argued for a little bit. I then used the phone to call someone. She comes running down the hall thinking that I was delibertly (sp?) stopping her from checking her new message. I didn't care what message she put on it - even it was cheesy - it was her machine. So to 'punish' me, she snapped the phone and machine away and never hooked up her phone and answering machine for the rest of the year which was about 3 months. Fine with me since I never got messages anyway (relied on email more) and it was her machine and the school provided a phone. I have more but don't want this to get too long. |
I guess the fact that got to me about what my roomate did is that I chose to live with this girl.
I have some other horror stories from random roomate assignments while living in the dorms. Roomate #1 MADE drugs. Apparently, morning glory seeds + paint thinner = hallucinogen. After I moved out of that, I got put with a girl who accused me of stealing her stuff, told me I typed too lound and distracted her, I was not allowed to bring a portable TV with headphones so as not to disturb her...and the best part was the RA backed her up because she lived in the room first! After that, I had a private room for 3 semesters http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
after living roomates from hell, i think the roomates of the opposite sex are the best.
guys help you lift and move stuff,give you all your messages and look out for you. |
Besides your typical "My freshman roommate had sex in our room on the top bunk with her boyfriend" story (which did happen to me, often), I have the "we moved in because we were friends and ended up not being able to stand each other."
This is what happened - there were three of us, all named Sara, and all memebers of Sigma Sigma Sigma. Right. Sara Sara Sara from Sigma Sigma Sigma. Well, our one particular roommate, besides being a compulsive shopper (the kind who always whines about being broke) she just didn't like me and the other Sara to spend time together, but would shut herself in her room. She started labeling all her food, and didn't want us to erase any of the caller ID's on the id box, so we had like, 50 numbers on it. She then explained, after I used her curling iron, that if everyone used her curling iron, it would break quicker and she would have to buy a new one. She constantly asked me if the other Sara was using her soap....Her soap? It was just a ton of little things, and you know how those little things grow to be big things....Basically she made no sense, didn't know how to share, and can I just tell you this.... I couldn't take it when she brought home "Samatha Jane." One of those dolls that look like little girls leaning up against the wall - she actually would get irritated with us when we fake yelled at it. What are you gonna do, right? |
My freshman year roommate and I got along fine...the only problem was that he listened to a lot of shitty alternative music that I didn't like. To this day, I cannot stand to listen to even one Depeche Mode song. No offense to those who like Depeche Mode.

my roommate last year lasted two weeks before she was kicked out for pushing me down the stairs. we had gotten in a fight and she called her mother early *and i mean EARLY* in the morning to talk about it. well, she called me "white trash" and i called her a whore as i was leaving to go to the bathroom. the bathroom's downstairs and she pushed me down the whole flight. needless to say, she was out the next day.
but on an up note, in response to BCNUQT's post : Besides your typical "My freshman roommate had sex in our room on the top bunk with her boyfriend" story (which did happen to me, often)... *blushes*...i was that freshman having sex on the top bunk with her boyfriend. not THIER roommate...but i admit i was one of "them". sorry.... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif etienne sigma alpha iota ------------------ "red is the color of music and has been since the very earliest of times. the caps of faeries and musicians are well-nigh always red."~*~w.b.yeats "I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel every emotion you want at any time instead of being a lying little fuck." - Tori Amos |

Somehow, I've never ever had a bad roommate experience. (Now you all hate me, sorry). My freshman year I got paired with a girl who was really nothing like me. But who really rocks. We ended up becoming friends, but we didn't spend that much time together. Which worked out well. We ended up roommies for 3 years in a row, without a single fight. I also had 3 roommates when I lived in A^2, all very cool. We got along splendidly. Then I had 2 roommates, both guys. Then a guy and a girl. Now just a guy. Still, nothing to complain about.
Maybe it's because I shared a room w/ my little sister for 11 years? ------------------ SilverTurtle@greekchat.com Phi Beta Fraternity Phi chapter |

I never had any huge issues with either of my roomates...however I've had some interesting experiences with each of them.
Roomate #1 was a girl I knew from high school. We were in a lot of classes together, and had a lot of similar interests. We were friendly, but not close friends. So we figured being roomates, we wouldn't kill each other, but maybe we'd become friends. Things went well except for one night, when she was out late with a boyfriend that her parents didn't know too much about, and they called really really late at night (knowing that they'd find only me there). They proceeded to grill me about their daughter's whereabouts! It took all my tact and diplomacy to calm them down without upsetting them, or letting them know anything that was my roomate's to tell. They were quite inquisitive and persistent - I finally had to tell them that I needed to go to sleep, that I had a test the next morning. Roomate #2 was a trip! She was a foreign student with relatives in the state. I helped her set up a portable fax machine in our room, so that she could get faxes from her parents (instead of long phone calls). These she got daily. It wouldn't have been too big a deal, except we quite figured out how to turn the sound off on the machine. And her parents always sent faxes at 6AM our time...she usually wasn't around to get them (either she was out partying, or up before dawn to pray or study)so I'd have to get the fax. I never needed to set my alarm, I always just waited for the fax. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif Actually, now that I think about it, I really liked both my roomates. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ equeen A Lioness has her Pride! @>--;-- Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies [This message has been edited by equeen (edited September 11, 2000).] [This message has been edited by equeen (edited September 11, 2000).] |
BUT I never liked my boyfriend's ex-roomate! With good reason, too. The guy is a terror. (And you thought my roomate stories were going to be sickeningly positive! *LOL*)
A few words about the roomate: he lies. But for those who don't know him, he's extremely convincing. He also delves uninvited into the other peoples' personal lives. He tries to play matchmakes with resounding failure. He attempts to run everything - whether it's homework groups or club events - as if it's a military exercize. He's disprespectful and disparaging of everyone and everything, unless they (1) represent an authority figure to him, or (2) he thinks they might be a source of income to him (ie. the only people he never disparages are (1) an adjunct professor in our College who's ex-military, and (2) the College's scholarship officer). The only time he's respectful to his parents, girlfriend, friends, etc. are when he wants something from them (most of the time, money). I did not know this at the time that I first met him. I also did not know that in spite of being a sweet, kind person, his girlfriend thought he could do no wrong - it was always "someone else's fault," no matter what the situation, or how blatantly obvious it was the roomate's fault. The roomate and his girlfriend were good friends of my boyfriend. I actually met my boyfriend through them (at the time, I was casually dating the girlfriend's cousin - confusing yet? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif). I sorta hit it off with my now-boyfriend, and we started hanging out a few months later (I was no longer dating the girlfriend's cousin). The roomate did not like that at all, and neither did his girlfriend. I think the girlfriend was hoping I'd get back together with her cousin. I think the roomate was hoping the same thing, but for ulterior motives - I think he was interested in my now-boyfriend! (This is speculation, of course, but I'd be willing to bet the farm on this.) Between those two - the roomate and the girlfriend - they did everything in their power to prevent anything from happening, to the point of putting their nose much further into either of our personal lives than is decent (even if either of us were inclined to share!). It became unbearable to spend any time at the apartment that my boyfriend and his roomate shared - even if we stopped by to get a snack, either his roomate or the girlfriend were there, and just stared at us while we went about our business. (That was another issue - the roomate had given his girlfriend a key to their apartment without consulting my boyfriend, but if I wanted to go there with my boyfriend, he had to call his roomate ahead of time and OK it with him first!) At some point, the roomate talked to my boyfriend, and the girlfriend talked to me about their "concerns" about the two of us, and how they felt it was in our best interests to stop seeing each other. It became more and more sordid and weird...my boyfriend and I were pelted with accusations - mostly by the girlfriend (who was repeating what the roomate told her to). The most amazing thing was that she and the roomate were judging my "relationship" with my boyfriend (it could hardly be termed that at the time, we had barely been dating), and the roomate and she had much *worse* relationship problems. Suffice it to say, my boyfriend basically moved out within a week of all this tomfoolery occurring, and found his own place. Oh yeah, and my fiance and I are still together, thank you very much! The ex-roomate and the girlfriend are not! ------------------ equeen A Lioness has her Pride! @>--;-- Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies |
Ok, so roommate #1 I didn't like. It's kinda a sad story I guess, cause I liked her at the time. We met at freshman orientation and we decided to live together when school started. Well, everything was great for the first couple months, then it just went down hill. I was going so far away to school that NOBODY from my highschool was there, so I pretty much had to start over on the friends thing. I had gotten this great music scholarship and everyone in the music department knew about me before I got there, so they all hated me. WELL, my roommate and I hung out together all the time, and with some friends of hers she knew before college. I started noticing little things first. She'd get really mad when a friend would invite me somewhere and not her--get this--cause she was friends with them first. Then she totally stopped going to classes--she failed EVERY class, and she would try to get me to skip classes too, which sometimes I gave in too much. Because she never went to classes, she would clean and do laundry like--ALL THE TIME--which isn't bad, but finally she snapped one day. I was running late and had to play a concert. After the concert I went over to a friends room. She called me there and starts yelling at me on the phone about how I left my hairdryer on her bed (which was right under the only available plug and mirror in the room)and that I had spilt some water on the TV remote. She complained that the room was a disaster because of it (which it was spotless besides the hair dryer and water) I told her I was sorry and I would come right home and clean up, she actually told me NOT TO COME HOME cause she was just too mad at me. So I finally found out later that the reason she didn't want me to come home is because she had picked up the remote to the VCR (which was mine) and threw it across the room and it broke. She was trying to fix it before I got home. Well, needless to say, things just got worse. She tried to go behind my back and get the Residence Life Office to MAKE ME move. She finally told me she was moving out into another room--but that's not it--she told me this the DAY MY GRANDFATHER DIED! I had really liked her as a friend, so it just tore me apart. I later realized what a b*tch she was.
Roommate #2 was the biggest slob in the world. She was a art major so she had tons of stuff. One time I decided I wasn't going to clean up after her anymore, and she had made a miniture log cabin out of sticks--there were sticks all over our room for like 2 weeks. You couldn't walk around in the room without shoes on! I finally DID clean it up. I also had to contribute to the cleaning of the carpet because she had spilled paint on it. Roommate #3: Just a terrible disaster. She had all sorts of problems--serious problems--mental problems. I won't go into detail cause it is pretty personal. Roommates #4-6 They were cool! We lived in a Quad. Sorry about the lenghth. Guess I had tons of bad experiences. |
So, while we're talking about roomates, does anyone else have this problem? We seem to do dishes 3 or 4 times a day. Most of us have our own stuff that we use. There are 4 of us. 2 girls use the same set of dishes/glasses, one girl only is here every now and then (to hog the bathroom and freeze my bread) and I don't use that many dishes. But it seems that our sink is *always* full and we're always running the dishwasher. And we somehow fill up 2 trashbags a day as well. Its just amazing how much mess we can make...and the thing is, I know I'm not making it, but everyone else swears its not them either...

The only problem I ever had with a roomate was regarding computers....he was on it all the time, and, when doing work (this was before the internet), he'd completely zone out of the "real" world. Consequences? Let's see:
Boiled eggs until the water was all gone, then, BOOM....if you've never had to clean up this kind of mess, count yourselves and your noses lucky... Cooked a pizza until it was the size of a walnut, and burned beyond a crisp...it basically desintegrated when picked up off the oven rack... Otherwise, we got along real well, were and still are good friends, though I learned whenever the computer was on, my first trip was to the kitchen to make sure nothing would go up in flames again.... |
*bump*
OK, Ima gonna kill my roomate. Our lease is up in 3 weeks, so I know I can last till then. Shes a sweet girl, but I cant handle it anymore. Just the sight of her pisses me off. I know I aint a saint to live with either, but I gotta put my foot down. Heres the deal. Bit@h think she a brother. Shes done a lot for the undergrads, bake them things, get them deals with her moms shop at formal, yada, yada, but she taking it way too far. Shes 27, never even went to college, just vocational school. She dated a brother for about 9 months back in 1997. First, she bought a mini paddle for herself. Yesterday I see she put letters on her car. WHAT? Yep. She also has created a shrine in our apartment of all my pictures I had taken while an undergrad. 10 of those collage frames is a bit much. I totally appreciate her dedication to our org, but I want her to back off. I cant stand hearing of member business from her, "someone hooked up, or broke up." and I cant discuss chapter business in the apt on the phone, without worrying if she's listening. SHe has the kozie, keychain, and speaks in that self important tone, "Well, the guys respect me. They know I am not just some girl who hangs around all the time." Yah ya are. We had two brothers pass away while I was an undergrad. One was in 97. She didnt even meet him, yet she has his pict up in our apartment. (and a big one, 8 x 10 its the chapters pict for when we move back into a house, I am just holing on to it, so It doesnt get lost) Makes me kinda uncomfortable. I hace dealt with it since last august, and I know I shoulda said something before now, and its too late to say anything, but I dont like her having our letters on her car. She doesnt even know what they stand for. It would be somewhat different if she was engaged to a brother or something, but come on. I guess it just really annoys me 'cause I have to see it EVERYDAY. 'Cant wait till August 1. I'll have my own place then. Question: Do ya'll think I am outta line here? |

Freshman year, I didn't have any huge problems with my roommate until the end of the year when we were moving out. She IM'd me while I was at work to tell me that she and our suitemates had decided who was going to do what as far as cleaning the bathroom. Maybe I'm just extremely stubborn, but I cannot stand when other people make my decisions for me, so I was quite angry about that. She also moved out before I did, and I wasn't there when she left. I got back to the room to find all kinds of dirt swept onto my side of the room. So when I moved out, I cleaned it up, but the RA charged me for dust bunnies under my roommate's bed! I was getting charged for the mess SHE left! I'm convinced that the RA didn't like me... she never was very nice to me, and I have no idea why.
Next I had a really quiet roommate who I got along with pretty well on the surface. We never fought, but there were little things that grated on my nerves that I just kept quiet about. She would have her mom and her sister and her 6-year-old niece up in the room all the time without even telling me they were coming. And they were really loud too, so if I was studying when they showed up, I had to go down the hall to the study lounge. Her sister would also call her sometimes at 6 am, and instead of being polite and saying she'd call her back because her roommate was trying to sleep, she'd sit there and talk to her, and not in a whisper either! And then her boyfriend was in the room quite a lot, also with me having no prior knowledge that he would be there. I had no reason to dislike him, but for some reason he made me nervous. So last semester I lived with one of my sorority sisters. We got along for the most part (in fact we're living together this year too, and we may even get an apartment together after we've both graduated). But again there are little things that annoy me. For one thing, she stays up REALLY late every night, and I had 8 am classes every day so I liked to get to bed at a decent hour. That was okay because she would just go down the hall and hang out until she was ready to go to bed. But she wasn't very quiet when she came back into the room. She'd throw stuff around, and she'd get on the computer. She has a mouse with one of those scrolling things in the middle... fine except it was really loud! Also one night (a Thursday night, and let's not forget my 8 am classes) I was so sick but we had to take our littles out that night. My roommate is 21 so while we were at the restaurant, she of course got drunk. Then she told me that she was going to be really loud when she came back that night because she was so drunk. Here I am, so sick I don't even want to be there, and she's telling me that I'm not going to be able to sleep when we get back. She can be really selfish and insensitive sometimes! Wow, just writing this all out, I don't know how I'm going to get through another year with her! |
Ugh, I sympathize with all of you!!!! Thankfully, i now dwell solo (the joys of being in the "real world"...)
Worst roommate story: I invited my two roommates to the restaurant I worked at for a free champagne brunch; they came and ate. I come home early from work and find them both on the couch with my journals, one new one, one older one. They read my JOURNALS, sitting on the couch in the living room! What GALL!! AI couldn't BELIEVE that two women that had been my "friends" for two-three years would invade my privacy like that.. right after I gave them a free meal, even. What SAD, immature individuals. |
SSS, sometimes my cousin stays over and he's REALLY loud doing whatever he's doing (playing video games or whatever) even at 4AM sometimes (he hardly sleeps)...I'm also a very light sleeper...so what I do is wear earplugs and wear a sleep mask/eye mask and I'm fine http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif!

First off, lifesaver, you're not out of line. It's disrespectful to everyone who worked so hard to earn the right to wear/display your letters, that someone should just slap a sticker on her car etc. My sorority doesn't even let new members wear letters, because they don't know what they mean yet - you have to be a fully initiated sister.
Now I gotta share my roommate horror story... At my school, dorm space is at a premium but everyone is guaranteed 4 years of housing. So freshmen are usually put into crowded rooms (3 people in a double, 4 people in a triple etc.) I met 2 really nice girls during rush, and we decided to room together. We wound up crowded into a "cozy" double. Roommate #1 had the same first name as I do. If someone called for me and she answered the phone, the caller would have to ask for me by last name, or she would assume the call was for her. She once talked to one of my sorority sisters for 5 minutes before realizing this woman was my sister and not hers. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif (We were all 3 in different sororities) RM #1 also came in as a freshman but with a lot of college credit. The school wouldn't give her credit for some of it. So she spent the entire semester whining about how she shouldn't have to take freshman classes with the rest of us. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif RM #1 also had to study to music, however the concept of headphones was totally beyond her. Roommate #2 was a total neat freak. Our desks were next to each other, and if I had a piece of paper on my desk where one corner overhung by 1/4 inch, she would scream at me. The trouble really began when RM #2 began dating a guy who lived down the hall. Not only would they be having sex in the bottom bunk with me trying to sleep on the top bunk... He was a total racist, and he turned her into a racist too. He, she, and RM #1 were all the same race; I'm a different race. So before long, RM #2 wouldn't give me the time of day, but would spend hours chatting with RM #1, usually while I was trying to sleep or study. I complained, and, long story short, got a single in the middle of my freshman year. Which did not endear me to the rest of my floor, since it was a big room that usually went to a junior. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Anyway, eventually my ex-roommates moved off my floor. After that, the worst that happened was when my suitemates continually used my pots and pans without washing them afterwards. I eventually had to start keeping them locked in my room... ...and now I have the best roommate of all... my husband http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
All of these bad roomate stories make me laugh. I feel for a lot of ya. I guess I'm just too easy going a person. I've had a roomate who had a gun in my dorm room, I a roomate who was certifiable, I mean freaking nsane, but all the stories I can tell now! All the fun I had with my roomates because they were crazy, I wouldn't trade for the world... though some of those appartment security deposits would have been nice to get back in full, only once did We get $10 of $500 back because we were only there a semester....
Off the top of my head I can remember while we were moving out putting our un-wanted couches in the other various appartment complex's pool (3 couches, 3 pools), My roomate writing his name with a permanent marker on our giant goldfish in the aquarium because "it was his..." or the time we ended up chasing around a bull near a friends appartment one wayward night and getting him evicted the same night.... these are the only stories I can tell on the board cause the other ones are a little bit too crazy, and the statue of limitations hasn't expired... They all had traits that would drive me nuts and I'm sure I did a lot of stuff to drive them crazy too, but whenever we get together we love to relive all our old times. I lived alone last year and was so bored I spent all my time at the fraternity house because I was bouncing off the walls. I guess I always felt a bad roomate was better than none. |

ROOMIE FROM HEAVEN...
My freshman roommate was very religious.
She told me that I was going to HELL because I had short hair. It was a short bob, chin length with with a tight cut V in the back. Her boyfriend told me called me POTTY MOUTH for cursing. |
Ahhh bad roommates...just recently, I lived with a girl that I didn't really know very well but I wanted to move off campus and she needed a roomie. It was a great and wonderful for a while, she never went into my room or ate my food, etc...without my permission. Well, I wanted to get a dog and discussed it with her for about a month before actually looking into getting one. I even let her help me decide which dog to get, she went to the shelter with me and everything. Well, after getting the dog home, I started crate training and she would leave my dog in her crate when she was home and I was not :mad: When she got back from a beach trip, she left a box of granola squared with chocolate on them in the floor, well we stepped out for a few minutes and left my dog on the couch. When I went back in, she had eaten 2 or 3 of the squares. What did the roommate do? Did she apologize? Nope, she started yelling at my dog for eating food she left on the floor!
Also, this girl couldn't cook AT ALL, she cooked hot dogs on the oven rack with no pan or foil and wondered why the oven always smoked and made the smoke alarms go off... :confused: When she finished cooking with a pan, she would immediately take it to the sink and run it under water (it warps the pan) and put teflon pans in the dishwasher (seriously, who does that?!). Then, two months before our lease was supposed to end, she decided that she wanted to move into an apartment with someone else to "help her out" because the old roomie had moved out after graduation. She offered to still pay her part of our rent but considering her parents paid her bills and she quit her job shortly after making this decision, I decided to just find my own place. Needless to say, I'm happily living in a 1 bedroom apartment with my dog and happy as a clam! :D |

I put my teflon in the dishwasher, along with everything else (except my cast iron skillet).
My theory: if it doesn't make it through the dishwasher cycle, I didn't need it to being with. Ditto for the washing maching and a majority of my clothes. |
My sister-in-law and one of her sorority sisters lived in a dorm that housed three girls per room. One semester, they ended up in a room with a girl who didn't like sorority women and claimed to be a practicing witch. They would often come in and find her sitting in the lotus position, burning incense, playing eerie music and seeming to be in a trance. She would freak out whenever they "broke" her trance.
The three just didn't mesh at all and it was tense. One day SIL and her sorority sister came in and saw that the third roommate had left her journal out in plain view and wide open to that day's entry. SIL said she knew it was really wrong to do so, but they read the entry for the day. It was kind of staring at that them from the desk almost like the third roommate wanted them to read it. "I still hate living with Sarah and Judy, the sorority princesses," the entry read. "BUT they have been much nicer to me ever since I cast the spell on them." The other two had a good laugh, but started making arrangements to move out as soon as possible. :) |

One of my roommates and his girlfriend (also a resident) are super messy. They leave a trail of dirty clothes, laundry, garbage, etc. wherever they go.
I came home one day to raw pork and an ear of corn (with the knife halfway through it) sitting on the counter. I left in the morning and the remnants of the food was still there. Days later, the cutting board migrated to the stove and sat there for a few more days. Now, this was only a few months ago and we have all lived together for over a year now, so I'm done with cleaning up other people's mess. If you want to like in a shit hole, let's live in a shit hole. |
