HAHAHA!! These are great stories. My college apt. wasn't bad...but it wasn't great either. I lived in it one year and went home over the summer while my roommate and I subleased to a couple of friends...she (the roomie) was moving out and a sister was moving in with me in the fall. We had not seen a bug at all that first year....I came back and it was...ummm...infested
We literally had the pest control people over EVERY WEEK for the first month or so in addition to our own roach traps and Raid spray (God bless the Raid people!!) At one point our answering machine said something about about not being able to come to the phone b/c we were trapped in a corner fighting off the bugs!
We had a couple of interesting neighbors during my time. In one of the apts upstairs there were these 2 guys and one of their girlfriends and they all went to FSU too. We called them the "chain smoker guys" b/c one of the guys was out on the balcony EVERY TIME (no matter what time of day) we would come home and he would just stare at whoever happened to be walking towards our building. No hellos, no smiles, just an intense gaze. Then we had some drug dealer that lived next door (but only for a couple of months b/c he got evicted) He would come over at random times asking for random things....spoons, sugar, our plunger....and when he was high he would get paranoid....we could see him peeking out of his blinds to see who was coming towards the building. The cops came over when we weren't home and apparently busted him...and then the next day all of his belongings...furniture, clothes, etc. were unloaded from his apt and at the dumpster!
