To quote someone else on this thread: where to begin?
Because I went straight through 9 years of school to get a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate, I had a lot of roommates. Some were great...but did I ever have some nominees for Roommate From Hell. My first one ever spent hours spying on the SAE House with binoculars and making obscene phone calls to guys. Then I had the coke seller, the one who brought sailors into her room at the apt. for one-night-stands, the one who baked elaborately for herself but wouldn't wash the pans, the 2 who would bring guys into our apt. bedroom at 3 AM and turn on the stereo(to heck with the fact that 2 of us were already asleep in there!)--oh wow, are the memories coming back.
And yesterday my college freshman daughter, a strong Christian, told me she's afraid that her new roommate is going to be this loon who is into strange religious practices and whose boyfriend never leaves when the girl does. This is why her (the loon's) last roommate got rid of her. I feel so strongly for my daughter, having to watch her start to go through the same crap that I (heck, most college students) did.
