All my friends are great but there are two things that I cant stand when they visit me:

A) When we play video games I hate it when people eat chips or whatever and then touch the controller. It gets it all funky.

B) When my one friend just walks right it in and uses my computer without asking - likes its a copmuter in a public library or something.
 
Computer thing happens a lot. Another thing that bothers about me is the fact that people seem to like to bring their garbage into the room and not clean up after themselves--quite annoying.

I got lucky with my first roommate, he's pretty cool. He's just a bit immature for someone two years older than me.
 
A friend of mine comes over alot, and he's not very good with computers but always uses mine without asking. Everytime it lags just the slightest bit he smacks the shit out of it.
 
I have a housemate who is constanly pissing and shitting herself and then expects me to clean it up. It happens multiple times a day and it's really annoying.
 
Hes no longer my roomate but my friend mike is the worst man on the planet to drive with. Ive been driving a good 4 or 5 years and can honestly say Im a pretty good driver, but my friend mike is the worst person to drive with ever. He always grabs the seat or some handle at every red light, stop sign or corner, freaks when you get a bit too close and makes a stupid comment on every action I make while driving. He does with with everyone he drives with and quite frankly its annoying as hell.

How do you think your wife feels? Shes got that times two. :lol:
 
[quote name='Wlogan31']Not bathing...

That, and always saying "ya know?" after everything he says...[/QUOTE]

There's no excuse for that. How can people just not find even 10 minutes a night to wash the filth off of themselves? Talk about pepetuating the smelly gamer stereotype.
 
[quote name='Kayden']How do you think your wife feels? Shes got that times two. :lol:[/QUOTE]

True. In actuality it's probably 10 times for her because I work all week so I don't have to deal with it except on the weekends.
 
My housemate's dogs just annoy the piss outta me. She will let them in to feed them, (she has 2 dogs..1 lab mix and 1 beagle) and the fat beagle will start howling, which usually wakes me up (I work nights soooo I sleep during the afternoon hours).

And they are always jumping up on the sliding glass door, covering it in mud when it's rainy outside (like TODAY).

Yeah, but its mainly the fat dog. I can't even remember the thing's name...I've just always called it "Fat Doggie". Or "Stupid."

I keep telling my roomie that I'm gonna sell it to the Korean family down the street on Thanksgiving. BY THE POUND I would make sooooo much $$$$$

No, you twit. I meant she has to deal with the baby and YOU!

My two room-mates do several annoying things:
1. Sleeps from 6AM to 4PM (when he goes to work) comes home at 10PM. That's not annoying but when he gets 50 bizillion calls from telemarketers and Dell and Cingular and everyone else trying to get their money, it's annoying.
2. This same room-mate REFUSES to do the chores until someone tells him, even though there's a list. The garbage could be overflowing, the cats could be shitting around the house, but we have to tell him to. He's 23 for gods sake.
3. My other room-mate has started being passive aggressive with me. Like this weekend my mother called to tell me I was overdrawn (1st time ever and guess who's fault it was... this room-mate). So I was trying to figure out what the problem was because I was always careful with my balance and I get a hundred beeps on the other line telling me about incoming calls. I ignore them until finally they got too annoying. It was my room-mate and he has the nerve to bitch me out for not answering the phone. Blaming me for his girlfriend not being able to get in the apartment the week before when no one answered the phone. (Note: I was at class, so fuck him)
4. Well I could go on, but I'm going to stop since they are all minor problems. But I just like venting because I've been keeping them bottled up.

I realize you must be speaking of a dog but I had a roomate in college who actually did that (didnt expect me to clean it though). He'd get drunk and coked up out of his mind and urinate everywhere. He'd do more crazy stuff but too much to mention here. One of my favorite memories however was when he fell out of the bedroom window (2 story fall) onto the concrete sidewalk and cant get back in the place cause the door is locked so breaks into our neighbors apartment and falls asleep in bed with my neighbor's girlfriend (who thought that it was her bf in bed with her until she woke up in the morning).
 
1. One of my roommates is well ... slow. Great guy, real nice, but really dumb. The water heater started leaking one night when I had plans. I figured the AC unit had frozen up and was just leaking so I told him to make sure he watched it, and if it got too bad, call my cell and I'd come home and do something about it. I didn't ask him to take care of it. Just call me so I can.

Anyway I get home a few hours later and the whole apartment is flooded and he has like nine friends over watching my DVDs (another peeve) and I step in the doorway and it's like stepping on a sponge. I ask him and he's like "Uh, I didn't notice." Wtf, your feet are on the floor you retard. Then he didn't even ask them to leave to fix it, he had me go get the repair guy and try to repair it in the dark room while they are watching the movie.

2. Playing Halo 2. I love the game but man, my dumb roommate cannot get enough of it. He plays ONLY single player and he plays it ALL the time. Everyday, when I wake up at 7AM for class, he's downstairs playing Halo 2. When I get back, Halo 2. All his free time goes to single player of Halo 2. Now, we only have the one TV so it's a real pain in the ass.

3. Playing my games! I don't mind it if you don't fuck them up. But he played one of my games that took months to acquire everything I'd gotten on it. It was a work in progress. In a matter of 30 minutes while I wasn't there he lost nearly half of it. I was so pissed off.

4. The last thing he does is shave his back. This is so gross. The shower and sink are always clogged up. There's nothing I can do for the sink, because it's actually in the drain, except maybe buy some 409. But the shower I have to actually scoop out his hair! It is so disgusting!

5. He plays Christian music all the time. He is super, super Christian. Nothing wrong with religion, but this guy lives it. If he isn't playing Halo 2 or shaving his back, he's playing his guitar singing about God. Or he's playing it on his computer. Sometimes I'll come home at night with a girl, and want to take her up to my room, but he's asleep with his computer blaring music about praising Jesus. How the heck am I supposed to keep this girl in the mood with that playing?!

My other roommate is great though, but I am pretty sure he gets irritated with me for the things I do. I wish he'd say it though.
 
My roomate has a tendency to hit on a lot of my pet peeves:

1) He cranks the volume on his TV way up and doesn't turn it off when he leaves the room.

2) He doesn't turn the light off when he leaves the room (major pet peeve)

3) His brother comes over a lot, and when they watch football they yell and cheer to the point that I either have to tell then to shut the fuck up or leave and go hang out in a friend's room.

4) He's a jock, so he's naturally a slob, and I often find some article of clothing of his lying on my side of the room. I don't know how many times I come into the room and a dirty pair of gym shorts has been draped over the back of my chair :bomb:
 
I have a friend who has a phrase of the month that he over/mis-uses.

"I'm aware"
"Dude, that's good"
"What're the odds"
"Fair enough"

It gets incredibly annoying when a conversation goes something like:
Me: "I'm going to go to Subway for lunch."
Him: "Fair enough."
Me: "That doesn't make sense."
Him: "I'm aware."

Me: "Dogs can swim better than sharks."
Him: "I'm aware."
Me: "No you're not, I just pulled that out of my ass."
Him: "I'm aware."
Me: "You're an idiot is what you are."
Him: "Fair enough."

It's like talking to a broken record.
He also sends me unsolicited links on AIM like every 10 minutes. It'll just be a link to something totally random, possibly funny, and there won't be so much as a word to accompany it.
 
My roommate doesn't completely shut the front door. So often times I will wake up in the morning and find it open or hear it blow open if there is a storm.
 
[quote name='Sedmire']I have a friend who has a phrase of the month that he over/mis-uses.

[/QUOTE]

I had friends like that, too. They also over-used certain jokes and kept telling jokes/laughing at stuff that isn't funny anymore.
 
I don't really have many problems with my roomate and none of them are serious. (He's actually one of my best friends from high school) But, he does get a little annoying sometimes. He is always singing random songs that get into his head, and he sings them with the worst possible voice ever. Once in a while, I just wish he'd stop. Oh, and he's always playing stupid wrestling intro music...I can't tell you how many times I've heard his computer, and him, singing along to: "Welllllll...well it's the Big Show!" Ugh...
 
one of my roomates PACES incessantly.

I can't stand it... he will stand up from his computer, walk feverishly across the room as though he has to get something from the fridge, stop, turn around, and walk back... turn around, walk back... etc. I never knew someone doing something so harmless could be so annoying. Maybe it's because he typically paces like that for an HOUR or so at a time. I don't even want to try and get up from my computer and get something from across the room while he's up... i fear he won't stop and he'll just walk through me.
 
Uhm...

I don't like it when friends come over and just do crap without asking. Like, for example, if they sit down on my computer and starting looking through folders and crap. It bothers me.

I also don't like it when someone feels like they can make themselves at home. For instance, they'll just go into my fridge and grab something. Or one of my not-so-considerate friends often says things like, "Hey, grab me a pop out of the fridge." (when we're at my house, obviously.) Seeing as how I'm 19, in college and have a very small income, when I buy food and crap for myself, the least someone can do is can politely ask for something, out of courtesy, 'cause I sure as hell don't feel like buying for some of my all-they-can-eat friends...

One my my buddies talks really annoyingly with some of the words he uses. Like when he calls girls "honies" or "chickies," even though he's not really a ladies man. Or when we play a game like Madden and he gets a big hit, he often-times uses ebonics and talks like he's black. It doesn't suit him for the white boy that he is. (I'm not trying to be racist... I think you guys know what I mean.)

I'm pretty much considered the go-to guy with my friends when something goes wrong with their computers. It gets kind of annoying helping out constantly all the time, but I can live with it. It's just, when I try and explain things to people... It often-times gets really complicated, and then it seems like I go off and tangents and into huge rants in attempts to explain how things work. And then afterwards, there's a good chance they completely mis-construe what I say, leaving me frustrated to the point where I just give in and say, "Yeah, that's basically right."
 
I went through years and years of roommates. Some really bad ones. I'm glad I live alone now. Just me and my imaginary dog.
 
One of my friends has this annoying habit:

we go out to a nightclub and he's excited to go but when we get there, he crosses his arms in boredom and stands there lookin' bored the rest of the night. I know he's straight so it isn't the lack of females around as they usually flock around him and me and he makes out w/ them. I know I at least try to have a good time even if I'm bored myself (and yeah, it can happen in a nightclub) but he does this every time we go clubbin'. I mean, if you're gonna be that bored, then you might as well have stayed home cuz you'll just make everyone else feel down. I'm thinkin' he might be bipolar or just bored of the club scene. If he's bored of the scene, then it's time to do other things but he's the one who usually instigates clubbin' so neither our mutual friends nor I can be at fault. Oh well.

Another friend had this bad habit of stealing/eating ppl's food w/p permission. For example, we'd be out at Burger King and while just shootin' the shit he takes a bite out of my burger and THEN asks if he can get a bite. Socially dyslexic mofo. :lol:

I hate "beagle baby", my mom gives her a treat every morning and she barks at my cat and the other damn dog barks as I leave for school and work and will eat my cat's food unless I put it on the counter.
 
you know a roomate is bad when he buys a soundtrack to a tv show and blasts it thinking its fuckin awesome! Last semester I had a roomate who always watched the scifi channel and thought every show was awesome. Every friday night if I wanted to watch something he would get pissed and say, "HEY STARGATE SG-1 IS ON AT 8 ON SCIFI SO DON'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" I just sit there thinking what the fuck are you serious?! Later on in the year me and my other roomates, who are cool, come back from chili's and hear some weird music blasting and it came from my room! So we walk in and I go to my room and see my dumbass roomate who always greet people like he's in a fuckin star trek show, which he always says greetings or something stupid. I say, "What the fuck is that music that your playing?" and he says, "Its the soundtrack to stargate isn't it awesome?" I just stand there with the most shocked face and just walk into my other roomates room and they just say, "We know how you feel." I could seriously go down a whole list of things of how this kid pissed me off. Another funny thing is recently I was going to room with my friends from last semester but found out we were two people short so I figured I would get two other people to join, which worked out for one of them. Then I get a call from one of my friends who says yeah we just decided to have pat, the kid who was my dumb fuckin roomate from last semester, in the dorm because we found one person but need to fill the last slot. I immediately just say I'm not goin in the dorms because I can't stand that fuckin kid. They say but you don't have to room with the kid and I say I don't care I don't even want to be within 10 feet of this kid. I don't really mind commuting and I get a single room at home now but it would have been cool if I dormed with my friends but they should have at least asked me if I wanted to dorm with that kid because they all know that I hate him. Damn now this is huge rant but I think this counts as a roomate that annoys the hell out of me or anyone for that matter.
 
In college, before my roomate dropped out of school, his girlfriend would call all the time since she was still living back in his hometown. 90% of his end of the conversation would normally consist of "(jokingly)Shut up" or "Don't say that!" That and he was a smoker, so he would be constantly going in out to have a smoke (no smoking allowed in the dorms) then come back inside smelling of smoke.

On a weekend on a friday after my first roomate had dropped out, I received a call at about 11:30 PM (I was awake, if I hadn't been I would have been extra pissed at the events which followed). It was the head of the my resident hall saying there had been a late arrival and he was going to be my new roomate, he would be up in about 20 minutes. I found this all to be rather odd procedure, but I went with it. 20 minutes later the HRH checked him in and he brought his stuff up. He came in and I began talking with him, he seemed a bit odd and rather hazy.

It was a holiday on the monday of that week, so we had school off and I was planning to go home on saturday and not be back till Monday night. Now I have this stranger who arrived late at night...it all seemed a bit odd, so I didn't exactly feel comfortable sleeping in the dorm room on friday. So I just stayed watching TV that night and before I left in the morning on saturday I unplugged and took the cord from my computer and asked my RA to keep an eye on my room while I'm gone.

I come back on monday, and my roomate and all of his stuff is out of my room he is gone. I ask my RA what is going on, and he tells me the guy wasn't even enrolled at the school or in the Residence halls. He was originally enrolled, but he missed a payment or his funding feel through (something like that or perhaps for a worse reason) and his enrollment was canceled. The guy arrived late at night so the HRH didn't have access to the data to confirm if he was a student. So the HRH just stuck the person with first person who answered the phone who had an open bed in their dorm room (me).

Though the part which really pisses me off about this whole deal, as I was talking to another RA who was a friend of mine, and she said the HRH didn't follow correct procedure, any walk-ins during the weekend are supposed to be placed in a room of their own on the "hotel" floor for the weekend, then come monday if their information is verified they are assigned to their actual room.

After that rather big fuck up on their part I was allowed to have a private room the remainder of my Freshmen year.

Thats f/ed up .. that dude coulda been a psycho killer. At least you didnt go to sleep and wake up to see this ...

I've never had a roomate but I wouldn't have minded one, if I chose them. When I was in the position to had one I decided just to pay the rent myself (thank you ebay), since I was in a new city and any roomate would have just been a random choice, or minimally informed of what I was getting into. It wasn't worth the trouble. That's also why I never wanted to be in a dorm, that and the fact that you can't really cook so I'd be stuck eating fast food and pizza all day and looking like a blimp due to how easily I gain weight (and being simultaneously angry and depressed, due to the weight gain and the lack of available healthy food).

Honestly though, some of the people I get along best with would probably drive me crazy, since things I don't really care about in small doses would piss me off to no end if I had to constantly deal with it. I can only think of one person I wouldn't mind as a roomate.

I really can't be the only one thinking 'So what?'
The kid wanted to watch Stargate and listen to Stargate music and you didn't... people have different interests. It really doesn't seem like a big deal. At least he didn't watch The Wiggles or something like that.

So you force people to like what you like? Half of the time he would tell me to turn down my music, which was hardly even loud in the first place, so he could blast his soundtrack.

I wouldn't mind it much either AngellicLulu, but the question is WTF was he listening to it in the OP's room instead of his own.

There was a guy kinda like that with Star wars and Star trek who lived on my floor, he didn't own a TV so about 80% of the time I would walk by the lounge he would be in their watching tv. I didn't mind it too much, since I had basic network channels on the TV in my dorn room. The only show I watched that wasn't on network channels was Monk, so I would only need to use the lounge tv 1 hour of every week. If he was already in there, he would say no if I asked if I could change the channel. And if was already in there, he would look me, sigh heavy, and away.
 
I was thinking back to my days in the dorms and man, I had the WORST luck with roommates. First year, second semester I got stuck with this guy who was a huge momma's boy.

Every night he would watch Golden Girls on the Lifetime Channel a 9 o'clock and go to bed. Shut the lights off (while I'm awake) and go to bed. So I sit there in the dark until I get tired.

The worst part is that he was a heavy snorer. I don't know if you've ever roomed with someone who snores but this guy was the worst. It was like a bulldozer was tearing down the building while I was inside it. Seriously, we were in the room at the end of the hall (the 10th room down) and I could hear him in the lobby through two fire doors. The neighbors even complained about his snoring.

So that year I spent most of the time sleeping in the lobby of the building on the couch because I couldn't get a wink of sleep with this guy. Not only that but he drooled in his sleep, like complete puddles. Wake up and there would be almost ... I'd say probably about a cup and a half of drool all over his pillow. And he had one of those ... plastic kind of pillows like they have in hospitals, so it didn't soak in or anything, he just floated his head in it. It was so sick.



Another roommate I had would sneak his girlfriend in at night while I was asleep, then get on the TOP BUNK RIGHT ABOVE ME and have sex with her. Ok I get it you want to get laid. And his girlfriend was hot. But not while I'm in the room, bro! The guy was really cool except that. I hated waking up in the middle of the night because our bunk bed was moving, and I could hear her moaning. It didn't happen often but it did once or twice.



Last roommate -- total drunkard. He was rushing a frat and would bring his pledge brothers over and they would smoke weed in the room. I don't have a problem with that if you're careful about it. When I told him to be careful about it, he rigged together this "filter" consisting of a rolled up poster and a sock stuffed with dryer sheets. Exhale the smoke into the poster and it filtered out the drier sheet sock.

Only thing was, he was using my sock and my poster. Wtf. I didn't even realize it was my stuff until it smelled horrible and the poster was ruined. It was not a cheap one either (it was small and glossy so it was extra dough). What a douche.

And then a few other times he would come in so piss drunk that he'd pee all over the place. I remember one time my girlfriend and I were on webcam talking and he came back in and started peeing on entertainment center we had set up. I told him to stop, and he replied, "They're stealing my identity." So I shoved him out in the hallway and cleaned up his mess cause he was a douche.



And I think that is it.
 
Yeah, my roommate shares a couple of annoyting habits that I've seen others list:

1) He sleeps like all the time. I mean, I could see him sleeping during the day if he got up early and went to his morning class, but he doesn't even go to class. He skips almost every class, goes to bed at like 11 and still sleeps all day. But he's a bad snorer so it's really annoying in the middle of the day to just hear his snoring when I'm trying to write a paper or something.
2) He thinks that he owns the TV. I brought the thing up and when I'm watching a show he just changes the channel, I'm like dude, wtf. And then when he's on the computer he has to have the TV and controling it, even while he's playing a game. I'm like, why do you have to have the TV on while your playing the game, and he gets all pissed off and offensive
3) He does the pacing around the room, which gets annoying. He turns off his computer, gets up, walks around (trying to act like he's doing something) and then just goes and turns his computer back on.
4) He ALWAYS makes this weird smacking noise with his lips like all the time. It's really bad at night when he's smacking his lips and I'm trying to get some sleep, it's extremely annoying. I always go to sleep with headphones.
5) He also just goes through my desk and takes out my games to play them without asking. And he always does it when I'm not in the room, it's like he's purposely trying to be sneaky.

Yeah, he's annoying and it's safe to say I'm never going in blind again for dorm rooms.
 
[quote name='the_gloaming']The worst part is that he was a heavy snorer. I don't know if you've ever roomed with someone who snores but this guy was the worst. It was like a bulldozer was tearing down the building while I was inside it. Seriously, we were in the room at the end of the hall (the 10th room down) and I could hear him in the lobby through two fire doors. The neighbors even complained about his snoring.[/QUOTE]
My neighbor in the dorms my last year was a heavy sleeper, so several times his alarm would go off, and he wouldn't wake up to shut it off. So often it would wake me up and I would sit there waiting for him to wake up and turn it off, but didn't. Often I would have to get up, walk down to his door and beat on it to wake him up. Other times he would leave for the weekend and forget to turn off the alarm so I have to get an RCA from down in the lobby to call the RA on duty to key into is room to shut it off.
 
Okay in college one of my roommates had a king snake. Sometimes when it was about to shade it would kill the feeder mouse, but not eat it. He would put it in the freeze for the snake later like it was leftover ground beef. Then when it came time to feed the snake again he would nuke it in the microwave and talk about a smell. One of my roommates would burn a bag of popcorn just to make the microwave smell like anything else...
 
My roommates last year were terrible. That was the year I learned to disrespect Russian immigrants with a passion.

Oh yea, and one of them was too damn Emo.
 
When my friends come over, they pound on my bedroom window...

So, yeah; imagine sleeping at 4 AM and waking up to someone rapping at your window. Or when you're masturbating.

Same situation here, except it's in my house.
 
Just a continuation from last post.

Freshmen year, I had a total of FIVE roommates.

I lived in a triple at first. The first guy lasted 2 weeks. Total introvert who moved out because the dorm was too loud. The 2nd guy was a mexican who was never in the room. He talked incessantly about how he was actually Mexican buy looked white. Had tremendous Mexican pride, and seemed to hate white people. He threatened to get "guys on me" because I was using his desk (which I asked if I could use when i realized he was never in the room. He agreed, but what's an agreement when you can threaten people?). When he got his desk back, all he did was drape a Mexican flag over it and have a single picture frame on there (with no picture in it). His major was math. I asked him about Math classes and he said he didn't know "nothin' bout math".

The 3rd guy was weird. He was computer science engineer, but also was rushing one of the more popular frats in the school. he was a nice guy at first, despite coming in a few times drunk as piss and throwing up everywhere. However it wasn't until the 4th guy moved in (the mexican guy moved out) that he decided to be mean to me to score brownie points with the 4th guy.

I don't know much about the 4th guy, since I lived with him for a week or two. I was locked out one time to go to the bathroom, because they thought it was funny. They liked to make fun of me. total terror. So, I was able to move out into a double. This 5th guy was a real nice guy. However, he was moving into an apartment the next year, so I didn't get the pleasure of living with him sophomore year.

Sophomore year, I had one roommate. He was a gamer, but after a while all he did was play MMORPGs (except for one week when he brought an Xbox to our room and just played DOA Extreme Volleyball). He used words like "owned" in regular speech. He was nice and we used to play CS against each other, but he was also a sore loser, so he took it badly when I would win a game. He eventually just stopped talking after a while and would start to get pissed of at small things. I turned his speakers off when he was gone, because he used the standard AIM sounds and left them on and LOUD when he was gone and he would get pissed off. It wasn't such a bad time, however, it was just weird living in a room with a guy who didn't say anything.

Last year, I lived with 3 people. Two girls and a guy. They were decent people when I knew them, but when I signed the lease, things got weird. They didn't want to talk or hang out very much and never seemed to call or IM me anymore. when I asked them about that, the best response I got was "That's just how I am" (bullshit, i say!). They apparently got pissed off when I reciprocated the same behavior. Two of them were always late on bill payments. They liked to hold roommate meetings, say they wanted to be impartial, but really difficult when they all sat on one side and I sat on another, like it was some sort of parole hearing.

I shared a bathroom with a guy who was kindly known as Emo-boy. Here are just SOME of the things that pissed me off or were just plain weird:
-He never seemed to shower anything but his head. After which he liked to use an iron to straighten his hair. He was exceptionally slow in the bathroom, so it wouldn't be uncommon to find him in the bathroom when you need to use it and stay in there for up to an hour
-He seemed to have no idea how to wash dishes and would spend lots of time diligently, yet softly scrubing a fork using a bit of concentrated soap on it. I don't know about the rest of you, but the amount of soap he used on a single spoon would last me a whole sink of dishes.
-He would watch bad TV really loudly and have this high pitched shrieking laugh. The weird thing is, he had a different laugh elsewhere. So, I'm not sure which laugh is real and which is fake.
-He never did any chores.
-He played bad music loudly and ignore requests to turn it down.

The other roommates did some pretty boneheaded things:
-"forgot" which dishes were theirs in the sink, so requested that I wash them all
-Turned on the A/C really high when windows were open and it was humid outside
-Stole things of mine (I found them lying in their room in plain sight)

-Were terrible at their own major. While this doesn't affect me, it certainly bothered me. Two of them were Accounting majors and one was an Economics major. I was big into math and science in high school, but that fell to the wayside after going to college for a while. I would listen to them study for finals and read some of the most simplistic problems. One of them decided not to get their master's in accounting and decided to move on to law. Since they started reading this large LSAT text book, they felt like they were a master, despite being a total and complete moron on the subject of either politics or law. They were studious, but they were not bright.

I take solace in the fact that they were greatly offended by how much I cataloged their actions in my journal.

Over the summer, they were too much and I just moved out to live with a friend until he left to get his job. He was an ok guy to live with, but the week before he left, even he started to wig out.

This year, I had a roommate that lasted a month. She dropped out. She is arguably the BEST roommate I've ever had. She wasn't here very much. She left school and left me an apartment ALL to myself. No fuss, no muss.

I doubt I will EVER live with another person ever again.

i shared most of mine in the last roomate thread.

had a roomate that was nocturnal-- woke up around 5, snorted Adderall, ritalin, coke, anything. then he started drinking until 10 or 12 or so, which, more often than not, consisted of funneling beer and 40s.
I pretty much didn't sleep and moved out within a few months.


next semester, I'm going to fight hard to get my own dorm room (save money, free internet, co-eds), but i'll probably just end up in a studio.
