I am sorry there is now more than 1 thread - but hey! More fun for all!

My horror story - My sophomore year I transferred from one school to another (SWTSU - represent!). It happened to be a time of a massive enrollment spike, so despite having applied to live on campus I was told 2 weeks before school that sophomores would have to find housing elsewhere. Obviously, everything was leased. I found an apartment under construction that I could get an apartment in, but I had no roommate. No problem! They had another young woman in the same boat. So - I lived at the Ramada Inn at their expense while they finished my apartment. I then moved in with the daughter of a prominent Baptist church in Ausin (Riverbend Baptist - http://www.gmm.org/). She was transferring from Baylor where she had apparently gotten into some kind of trouble. RED FLAG. She was a slob, which seems to be the first requirement for a bad roommate. I was working weekends at the Texas Renaissance Festival, which meant I left Friday afternoon and came back early Monday morning. She would eat all of my food - and never replace it. When I took to labeling my food she accused me of being "immature". She had a fiance SOMEWHERE - never saw him - but had a male "friend" who was over all the time. She would always give me grief about the air conditioning, and then say she wasn't going to pay her half of the bill. Getting money from her was a problem. She then began to go through my jewelery and wear my MAKEUP on the weekends. We shared a bedroom - and one morning I woke up to the sight of her and her naked male friend in her bed. That was it - I moved out over the Christmas Break. The electricity was in my name, so I turned it off when I moved out. WHOOPS - I left a crab cake in the freezer, which stayed there until January when she moved back. It cost me $10 in cleaning fees, which was well worth it.
