Crappy Roommates

Man, some of you guys have pretty bad luck with roommates. I had a few roommates when I was in college, but the worst behaviors are nothing compare to yours.

So it's not so much that you're a strong atheist as you're an asshole and an inconsiderate roommate.

My first roommate at college wasn't very good. Like, he was a nice guy and all, but his personal habits were disgusting. Whenever he'd go to work out he'd shower beforehand, but then he'd come back all covered in sweat and just go to bed. And sleep under down sheets. When it was really hot out. In our room without AC. He also forgot about an onion pizza underneath his bed one time, which I found out about when I came back from classes one day and almost got knocked out by the smell. He also wouldn't separate his clean clothes from his dirty, so he was never sure if he was wearing clean or dirty clothes. He used cologne instead of deodorant, which doesn't work very well.

Finally, he's also the worst video gamer I've ever met. Like, he sucked. BAD.

My roommate from last year was kickass, as we were neighbors the previous year and had become really good friends. We're rooming again this year, and we'll probably room again senior year.

I may be an asshole, but I'm not inconsiderate. I'll have headphones on, but there's no gurantee i'll know how loud those are. I keep weird hours, and in later stagesof sleep deprivation, i lost any grip on sanity and turn fairly senile.

Could be worst, it could be CRAPPY parents.

Well I'm just glad I'm on my own, for the moment. I rather pay the extra $200ish a month, or whatever it is you pay, and deal with the peace and quiet rather then a crappy roomie.
 
Sneaky, the trick is to lift your headphones off of your head, if you can hear them with your hands over them, they're too loud. If your roommate's trying to sleep and isn't a deep sleeper, then don't listen to music that'll make you turn into a disturbance. Like for me, instead of listening to Led Zeppelin I'll switch to Pink Floyd. And half the part of coexisting with someone is working out your schedules. If you're in a dorm getting an agreement on sleeping schedules/lights out is a great idea if either of you have early classes.

punqsux, as in, he'd put his dirty laundry in his clothes hamper, clean them, then never put them back into his dressers. So, he'd take unfolded clothes out of his hamper, wear them for the day, get them all nasty and sweaty, and then throw them in the hamper with the clean clothes. Next day he'd just grab another random shirt.

Oh yeah, this kid was also Indian, so you can imagine the wonderful odor that he had going.

It depended on if he would wake up five minutes before or after class started.
 
My future roomate doesn't sound like he'll be there for long. In addition to doing a full, intensive semester at Digipen, he's doing a 40 hr/week manager job at Burger king AND going to wrestling school. I figure he'll end up dropping out with all that work.

You were doing fine till this line here..

This is the kind of shit that i hate...racism is alive and well.
 
[quote name='billyknoxville']He just turned 21, and I recently found out he has no intention of drinking. I wish I found all this out before he moved in. He's turning out to be such a fizzle.[/QUOTE]

Just get him a coke from McDonalds and slip liquid acid down his straw.... in 45 mins, he'll be the coolest person you've ever met... and he can fly!! Have him show you from the tops of buildings!
 
OP, my 18 year old roommate was quite happy when I, his new 22 year old drinking smoking roommate moved in and left a 12 pack of beer as an opening present. :) And I clean up after myself (once about 3 boxes of empty bottles had built up, at least...). And I add to the empty liquor bottle collection in the kitchen (currently up to 46). And I never cook, so food is not left in the sink and I often take the trash out!

I'm a good roommate!

In my experience, living with people you know from your past, say high school, just doesn't work. This is my third living arrangement with a stranger, and all three have worked out perfectly.

Now, living with my old friend and his girlfriend for a year. Yeah, that was a great idea. Especially when they decided to get a dog. Which had to be kennel trained for a month upstairs in their bedroom. They worked days, I worked nights. Guess whose barking woke me up in the morning for a month. Needless to say, I kept to myself, finished the lease, and I avoid them for all I am worth.
 
I had the worst roomate ever. I lived with her 18 years her bedroom was next to mine. Toward the end she had a baby and her husband moved in for a year. They had not respect for me. They would try to smoke dope in the house and the f*cking baby cried all night. Finally my mom kicked my sister out and she now lives with her husband across town. :lol:
 
I had a roommate that snored so loud I could hear him from the next room over. I was tempted many times to just go in there and roll him onto the floor or something. I never did though since he liked to sleep with his pistol.

Now that I think about it, that was actually a good arrangement for us. I had my .303 and he had his glock. We never got into any fights and we usually tried to deal with any problems quickly instead of letting it fester. I should mention we were all really big on gun safety and responsibility. I wouldn't recommend just anyone try this way of living.

Also, dirty people are the worst type of roommates. I mean, is it really that hard to clean up after yourself?
