"I had a roommate who didn't like to wear clothes. One time my friend Amanda was coming over to study chemistry 'cause we had an exam the next day and I asked 'Naked Roommate' as he was referred to by my friends...i'm serious, we called him that when he wasn't around...I said to him 'Andrew, Amanda's going to be coming over so we can study for our exam tomorrow.' And he looked at me and just said 'I'll just stay under the covers. The end."

LOL, I had a friend whose roommate last year was like that. When another girl and I went up to his room once, his roommate was sure enough, on his bed, naked, covered with just a sheet, with his eyes glued to World of Warcraft II. Apparently, he didn't do much else, and he even missed class just to lay around naked and play World of Warcraft II all day.
My bad roommate situation was just a complete mismatch--my roommate was in a different honors program than me, but it was the same one that most of the girls on our hall were in. Anyway, I had these chicks who made up a floor-wide clique in and out all the time, asking me "is [roommate] there?" Grr, arrgh. Plus, I'm a study-in-the-room person, and of course, I'm going to get extremely PO'ed when the hall clique decides to play with crayons outside MY DOOR that's on MY HALF OF THE ROOM on the day before my big huge Spanish test. Plus, I got stuck with a light sleeper. Pardon me, I live in the honors dorm and I can't work in my own room, and my roommate, after going all year probably talking who-knows-what behind my back to the hall clique (who to me, were all acquaintances because I never had any of their classes and their honors college program had WAY less work during Freshman year), decides to really make a big deal out of the fact that she can't sleep at all when I use the computer at night (because every insomniac should know that typing across the room is noisy? heck no!) the WEEK BEFORE FINALS.
And it was just a mismatch to begin with--liberal arts/science, hard honors freshman load/light freshman honors load, football is life!/"I have homework," heavily involved in campus orgs/"honors and some Bible studies are more than enough," never works out and hates the smell of sweat/always works out, etc. We hardly had any interests in common at all, so that didn't help the situation at all.
I'm the one who got blamed for everything--"you should study somewhere else or go to bed." What the banana? That's why I applied to live in the honors dorm, stupid. If she'd have been ballsy enough to really bring up the fact that this wasn't working earlier, I could have switched rooms to a fellow insomniac or at least a more flexible person. I felt like I was always kicked out of my own room, plus when I had friends from out of the dorm over to do anything, I hated being on the first floor at all, so I was stuck in the lobby. When I invited over an environmental major to help me figure out the questions for that final, I was interrupted with friends' random comments on the MRS Degree because we were out in the lobby, there for the pestering.
Needless to say, I spent many a night at the end of last year sleeping on the floors in friends' rooms who were a little more flexible about studying/light/noise and who didn't live on the cliquey hall who probably heard up and down how much of a weird b I was.
(Plus the environmental major was kind of cute! Nooooo!!!)
ETA: a funny story from my high school English teacher, a former RA at WSU:
Sometimes while she was doing rounds in the dorm, she would notice this fellow who had no rhythm while going at it at all. It was the room directly above hers in a co-ed dorm, and from time to time, she'd notice a "thump..........thumpthump...thump...thumpthumpthu mp................THUMP.....thumpTHUMPthumpthump" from above. Must've been painful for the poor chick with him!
