Weird roommate stories

She's also one of those people who won't admit she doesn't know who the person on the other end is (no caller ID) so she'd spin them out until she figured out who they were. She once talked to one of my sorority sisters for five minutes before she figured out she was from my sorority, not hers.

My freshman year there was a "crowded double" down the hall from me who had three Jessicas living in it. My floor had around 25 girls living on it, and there were 10 Jessicas. It was insane.

I only had roommates for my freshman year. And I have no weird stories, other than my roommate stole a bunch of my makeup, and the turned around and used it to ruin a bunch of my clothes.

My first roommate used to watch the nearby guys' dorms and the fraternity houses with her binoculars.

Dang! My chapter actually has a couple of repeated names that aren't even that common. (2 Noelles and 2 Alexas). Those Jessicas are crazy! (We have one active and one alumna Jessica, though...lol!)

Ok, now who says that's creepy? That's totally acceptable!

Slight hijack...my chapter, at its largest, was 12 members. There were 3 Jessicas. We called them all by their last names, and even though one is now married, we still call her that.

There was a girl on my floor who "hooked up" with enough guys in the adjoining guys dorm that she literally had a dry erase board with tally marks. It wasn't outside on the door but I definitely saw it so it wasn't just a rumor.

I was fairly lucky in the roommate department, except my freshman year, we were tripled in a double room... The third girl just got placed with my roommate and I and we did our best to be friends, but we had other friends outside of just us three (obviously) but Tabitha took it upon herself to make friends with all of my friends (and slept with a number of my guy friends...)
It wasn't that big of a deal, but she was kind of um.. "backwoods" and basically a redneck, fine whatever, cool, I try to be open to whatever... but when she said that she used to eat roadkill... that was enough for me.

One of my roomates decided mid-year that she was suddenly of a different sexual orientation!

I could not wait to leave!!!!!!!

Overall my roommate experiences haven't been too bad...everyone showered, which was a plus.

Freshman year I had two roommates, cause one moved out at the end of the first semester. The first roommate was a lesbian, but didn't come out until after she'd had huge fights on the phone with her "friend" and her "friend" came to visit for the weekend. The second roommate got strep throat, and it caused her throat to swell up and she snored SO LOUDLY! And she'd stay on my computer all night IM'ing her boyfriend when I was trying to sleep.

Sophmore year my roommate was an international student who was a devout Christian. We really didn't butt heads until she told me she didn't want any guys in the room at all. I got a single after that.

Junior year I shared an apartment with 3 other girls. 1 was in my major, and the other two were in theater and social work. They partied every freaking night, ate other people's food, turned the heat up to 85 degrees and left all the freaking lights on in the apartment. The social work major would try to steal your pots and pans, and the theater major never cleaned anything, including her bathroom. I couldn't wait to move out.

Now, I have no problem with people who are religious even though I am not myself. Second semester of freshman year I moved dorms to a cheaper dorm that I spent all my time at anyway. Well my new roommate was the type of person who could be bouncing off the walls with energy after like 3 hours of sleep per night. She would stay up till 2 am studying, then wake up at 5am and go down to the basement for what she called "Jesus time". That's fine. The weird part is when she would be awake at like 4 am and she would start running in place and singing hymns. She also talked to God. Not in the prayer, normal mysterious ways but as in she actually said to me "I was talking to God about these cookies that I wanted and I jsut really really wanted them! And God just laughed!!! That's why I love God, he laughs at my jokes." Also, I was laying on my bed on my stomach talking on the phone and she comes over and lays on top of me and she was NAKED! I was like Hey get off of me! And she goes well that was fun bonding time! We should do it again! I told her that she needed to be wearing clothes any time we were bonding.

WOW! JUST WOW! Sexual harrassment much?

I was only in the dorms for a semester and I had two crazy roommates...
The first girl and I got along really well at first, but then I noticed she was sort of...strange. She stole a COUCH from the residence hall, bowling shoes, and once we had plans to go out and she stayed out all night not returning my calls, and then told me she was almost raped and hid behind a dumpster but there were pics of her on facebook out that night. She met some guy, claimed she'd known him for years (she didn't) and 6 days later they were engaged. A month after that, they got married and now she has a kid...weird.
Since she got married and moved out, I had another roommate who was just a bit of a whore...she'd have guys over pretty much every night, and none of them were her boyfriend. The last straw was when I came in one morning, collapsed on my bed, and then hear our other 2 roommates flipping out about the condom stuck to the bathroom WALL. I found out she had my boyfriend's fraternity's president in there that night and I was just pretty disgusted. Since this is super long, I'm not even going to go into the problems with my current roommate...

My roommate was a senior -living in the dorms. She was engaged to an Aggie and was very, very religious. As in, holier than thou. So, since God has a sense of humor, our suite mates were two lesbians. So my roommate started leaving little pamphlets (Are you SAVED? God's Plan for You type stuff) by their sink. They retailated by putting shaving cream on MY loofah.
I was a drama major, with weird hours.I tried to be considerate when I had to come in late at night. I also, oh NOES - went to the occasional party. (Drinking is evil, don't you know) She decided to move out because I was not "Christian" enough - mind you, I was active in Canterbury and a Christian drama group. Fun times . . .

Even if they meant to put it on her loofah, that isn't a very good prank. It's already in the shower and you can just wash it off!

Lol sorry, but that was the first thing I thought of.
