I had a roommate Alyssa who never did dishes. At the beginning of the year, the other roommate Karen and I would do whatever extra dishes were in the sink...like "Oh I'm here at the sink. I'll just wash you plate and fork too. And you can get it next time." After awhile, we realized that Alyssa was never doing dishes so we decided that we were going to just leave her dishes in the sink and see if she notices. She didn't. By the end of the semester, you couldn't even use the sink because it was completely full with her dishes. Finally, Karen gave in and did all those dishes. Also, Alyssa was on the Atkins diet and used her George Foreman grill for everything. However, she never cleaned it. Karen and I were the ones who were always cleaning it when it got really gunky, even though never of us used it. Alyssa would also go out to the bars on weeknights. I don't have a problem with that as long as the roommate keeps it down when she's coming in at 2am. Well, one night, I went to bed early because I had a biochem exam the next morning. A little after 2am, I hear her and some drunk guy coming in and being really noisy. I was so pissed off. The next day, my other roommate told me the whole story. Apparently, some creepy drunk guy was following Alyssa home from the bars. And instead of trying to lose him, she lets him follow her to our apartment. When they get to our door, she tries to get him to leave but he's being all loud. So what does my genius roommate do? Does she leave the creepy loud drunk guy out in the hall? NO, SHE LETS HIM IN!!! Then, he tells her he wants to have sex with her, but she doesn't want to, so there's all this commotion as she's trying to get him to leave (when she wouldn't have had this problem if she hadn't let the creepy guy into our apartment). I got even more pissed off after my roommate told me the whole story. I was like "It's one thing if she wants to be self-destructive. It's one thing if she wants to put herself in harm's way. But it's really effed up for her to be putting her roommates at risk too. She didn't know the guy. She felt like he was creepy. Yet, she let him into our apartment! He could have been a murderer or a rapist!"
When I was living in the dorms, I was in a double and I was supposed to have a roommate. She didn't show up. Classes started. She still didn't show up. There were letters addressed to her being delivered to our mailbox. Still, no roommate. I was thrilled that I had a double to myself but didn't have to pay extra. However, it was kinda weird. Towards the end of the semester, she finally shows up, but without any stuff to move in (like bedding, tv, computer, clothes, etc.). She looks frazzled and upset. She tells me that if anyone ever calls and asks for her, not to tell them she had ever been there. Then she starts making calls on the dorm room phone. I had to leave for class, but I was kinda scared about leaving my laptop and all my other stuff there with her. I go to class, and when I come back, she's gone. However, she's left her jacket. So I think that she might be coming back, at least to get her jacket. But I never saw her again. I still don't know what was going on with her, but my friends came up with all sorts of theories.
