Spinoff: Craziest roommate stories?

novella1186

Jenna's thread got me thinking about past roommates. Like I said in that thread, I've had 3 evil ones and 1 very emotional one.

Two of the evil ones were best friends. They had a three bedroom with individual leases, so as soon as they found out I had been assigned to them, before they even met me, they made a bet with each other on how fast they could drive me out by treating me like shit. (They actually bragged to me about this. Had apparently also driven out the last girl too). They did some pretty malicious shit but the worst was when they sprayed Windex on my dog's food. She was puking and convulsing and I had to rush her to the vet. I went from there to the police station to file a report. Of course it was my word against theirs, and knowing that I had filed a report just made them come after me more. They ripped up my Hannukah decorations (didn't like that I was Jewish), would slam things against the wall while I was sleeping to wake me up, etc etc. I moved out as soon as another apartment opened up. Congrats to them, I only lasted about 3 months.

The super emotional chick was the older sister of a guy I had been dating since high school so that got awkward. I once asked her a question and for some reason she ran out of the front door crying, ran down the street, sat down in the middle of the sidewalk, and called her mom. It was so fucking bizarre. Man I have a lot of stories about that girl lol.

Who's next? Crazy stories!

Oh god. My ex-roommate Haley was a maniac. We had been friends since my freshman year in HS - she was a grade ahead of me. I always knew she was a little nutty and had drama, but none of that drama had ever really included me. And she was always fun to hang out with. 

These are just some quick highlights of what she did:

She installed a lock on her bedroom door without telling me. And the thermostat to the apartment was in her room. She left, locked her door, and had the heat turned off. It was 40 degrees outside. She was gone for 5 days. I had the LL move the thermostat to the living room after that. 

She would bring random dudes home from the bar. One opened my bedroom door one morning thinking it was the bathroom. 

She would get drunk and pass out all over the apartment. And I'd have to drag her back into her room. One day she passed out right in the hallway in front of the front door. 

She told a guy she was dating that she was going to kill herself (just for attention. she was fine). So the cops showed up at the door. 

She bought a dog, and then would leave it for hours locked in her room. The dog shit and piss all over the room, and she rarely cleaned. 

She never did any dishes. 

She ruined a few of my pots and pans. 

She let all of her food go moldy in the fridge. 

She would throw random parties during the week, knowing that I'd have to be up at 6am to go to work. 

And here's the final straw. She was dating a guy that was dealing coke. So she started doing coke all the time. One day, she decided to blow lines at her retail job, in the stock room. She was caught by her manager, and fired on the spot. The manager also called the cops, and she was arrested. She then proceeded to tell her family and all of our mutual friends that I had put the drugs in her bag, and she had no idea they were in there. 

Needless to say, we're no longer friends.

@ClimbingBrideNY Holy shit.
Some of that craziness reminds me of the shit the super emotional chick would do! But the drug thing? Yeah that would be the last straw for me too. That just sucks.

Junior year I lived in a house with 3 girls I didn't really know. I was sub-leasing from a friend who was studying abroad. It was a trip. Roommate #1 was uptight and bitchy, but she was clean and generally kept to herself so we were cool.

Roommate #2 was seeing this guy who would always show up late at night and park around the back of the house, which I eventually found out was because he had a girlfriend and my roommate was his booty call on the side. Sometimes I'd walk into the kitchen in the morning to find him standing there in his boxers eating out of our fridge. I always felt super awkward when I saw the guy on campus, especially when he was with his girlfriend.

Roommate #3 had never done chores in her life before college. She was constantly leaving messes in the kitchen, filling the dishwasher with dish soap (don't try this at home), forgetting to turn off the oven, etc. Finally #2 sent an email calling her out on all this stuff. They ran into each other that night as one was coming home and the other was leaving and got into an all-out fist fight in our front yard. Then they brought the fight inside, with #1's boyfriend restraining one of them while I pulled the other into another room and tried to calm her down. #3 moved out the next day but continued paying rent through the end of the semester.

I confronted her about the drug thing too. And she denied it. So I told her never to contact me again. And then she decided to tell some mutual friends that I had slept with all their boyfriends. Nice girl.

My roommates were pretty tame but I have a couple stories:

Roommate #1 had a history at the college and was popular at the dorm.  Her boyfriend was older so they all knew her even before she moved in.  My first night at the dorm, I got a knock at the door.  I opened it and guys asked me if what was said was true.  I had no idea what they were talking about and dismissed them because they wouldn't tell me.  Turns out, someone was playing a joke on my roomie and wrote in a common area "For great head go to room 210."  Due to the miscommunication, people thought it was about me.  I known for being great at BJ's without opening my mouth, so to speak.  My ex (her BF's roomie) actually asked me about it months later, when we got together.  

Roomie #2 was a serious party girl.  It was chinese new year, and it was an excuse for my roomie to get shitfaced (she's white) and took off on a weekday with a guy that wasn't her boyfriend to get hammered.  She came home at 2am, giggling and cursing and I thought nothing of it.  The next morning I saw glitter everywhere.  She had stolen a chinese new year wall decoration and rubbed it all over herself to be 'suuuuuper sparkly guyzzz' and passed out on her bed.  Glitter on the walls, on her skin, in her hair.  Glitter in the bathroom.  Glitter in the TOILET.  Like, how??  We had a sparkly room, no matter how much we cleaned.

First year university:  Had a roommate who had sex on my bed, left the bondage tape on bed and the condom leaking on the floor, half out of the garbage can. She also stole my camera.  Her and I hated each other.

Second year university: Roommate chained the door locked if I wasn't in by 9 because she "needed to sleep before class." Her classes all started at 10AM or later.  She also hated my boyfriend at the time and wouldn't let him in our room.

I thought I had bad roommate but now they seem pretty tame!

My first roommate was just loud and obnoxious.  I swam in college and needed to be up for 5:30am practices.  She would come in after midnight, turn ALL the lights on and skype in the room while I was trying to sleep.  She would eat all my food because of swimming I always had snacks and the fact I hardly could make it to the dining hall for breakfast or dinner due to practice.  The last straw was when I found out she'd been loaning my stuff out to her friends, like clothes and what not.  WTH?  I approached her calmly, she blew up and didn't speak to me the rest of the semester and I moved to a different room.

My second roommate had a crazy BF who was still in HS and crazy controlling.  He sent her cards about every other day and it was very obsessive and unhealthy.  She was nice and we were friends.  I did find out the hard way when I walked in one day to discover she had issues with self harm and cutting.... that was a shock and then somewhat put me on edge the rest of the time we lived together.  She got into therapy and was OK after that but not something I'd like to experience again.

 We think one had schizophrenia. And I'm not throwing that word around like people do with "ocd". Her mother had been clinically diagnosed with it and we saw a lot of evidence that she too had it but refused to be tested/ helped. I asked if I could get a cat and she said "yes I love cats!" the next day I came home with one and she said "Why did you do that- I fucking hate cats". One time I went home for the weekend and when I came back 3 days later, my poor kitty was in her carrier covered in pee so it was clear she was trapped in there all weekend. I was so pissed.

Other than that, just a lot of messy people. I'm probably someone's worst- freshman year of college my first and only dorm I ever lived in. I was 1500 miles from home and spent every waking second on the phone with my boyfriend back home. First crying that I missed him, then crying because he turned all "where are you, who are you with?!" so I had to talk him off a ledge every time I was 5 minutes late calling. The roommate hated me and always told me to go talk to him in the hallway so she could study.

1. We had FI's BFF and his roomie move in with us when they lost their house.  I cleaned out their rooms and closets and just left a couple extra pillows and blankets in each room.  When they moved out, they cleaned of course, and I went back through the rooms to do some reorganizing.  When cleaning out one closet, I moved something and heard a plastic bag crinkling sound.  I looked and saw a plastic back full of something.  I picked it up and peeked inside and discovered what had to be HUNDREDS of USED condoms put back in their wrappers!!!!!!!!!!!  What makes it extra weird is that this guy had no girlfriend and never even brought home a date.  WTF?????

2. Had a roommate dip out while I was in Europe.  I came home and noticed some things missing from the walls, checked her room, and it was empty.  All I got was a voicemail saying "Sorry. I can't.  I found you a new roommate."  I was pissed at the time, but looking back I think she was going through some major stuff that I wasn't aware of at the time.  Oh, and before she left, I used to buy food and drinks and let her know she was welcome to share.  She always bought diet coke, which I won't even drink, and locked it in her room.  Weirdo.

3. Replacement roommate had a terrible boyfriend who threw a bunch of my food off our balcony during a party.  When I was like "what the fuck are you doing?!" he informed me that I was fat and shouldn't be eating junk.  Fucker.

4. Moved in with two girls who were cousins.  One smoked in the apartment, so I got to smell like an ashtray for a full year, and the other one constantly stole my clothes.

Junior year of college. Roomie is fairly promiscuous but it doesn't bother me because she was never home. We got to be decent friends. My boyfriend loved it. She gets pregnant and - because we're friends and I volunteered there - I take her to Planned Parenthood for her scheduled appointment to get rid of it. She was broke and didn't know who the father would be so I lent her money to help pay for it. I was cool like that.

The day after, her parents call and say that they're in the area (we were a stop along the way when they drove the long trip to visit her brother and his family) and announce that they're stopping by. Her approach to handling it? She tells them that I had an abortion and was feeling awful and she didn't feel like she could leave my side.

Her family was very strict Catholic and gave me the evil glare every time they saw me after that. I used to get invited to family events and dinners (her family was an hour away, mine was 4 hours away) and that all came to an abrupt stop. Her nieces were also no longer permitted to visit us in our apartment. I got thrown under the bus for every bad thing she did after that.

I don't mind covering for a friend in a pinch but I was a very good kid at that point in my life and hated her parents thinking I was awful. Also, after a bad run-in between my parents and hers, I had to take them aside and tell them what was going on. They thought it was hysterical!

NowIamMrsKlein

When I was 23 I bought my first place and didn't want to be house poor so I decided to get a roommate. She was super nice but her boyfriend was aweful. He worked out of town on a 10 and 4 type schedule and so every other weekend he was there for 4 days. Never offered to pay rent. When I asked him to contribute to utilities he would freak out, and she would end up paying me extra once he left. They fought like no ones business. Big drawn out screaming matches that would end up with him breaking up with her and stalking off, and her running after him begging him to take her back. This actually happened in a mall once.

Last straw came when we were all making breakfast together and his crazy switch turned on. Seriously, everything was nice and calm and dandy and then all of a sudden he is screaming for no reason. I tell him to calm down or get out. She's begging him to calm down, buddy picks up one of my dishes and chucks it at the wall. And then takes off.

I pull her aside and tell her to not go after him. And put my foot down saying that she is more than welcome to stay living with me but he was no longer welcome in my home.

I came home that night to her giving me her notice, telling me that they decided to buy a house together........

I taught a girl how to use the stove and make scrambled eggs. This poor girl was so
Stupid we called her Barbie and she took it as a compliment. She also left her weave in the bathtub which is terrifying to walk in on

Man, y'all have had some crazy roommates.  Craziest roommate I had was when I lived overseas (although we were both from the US).  She got really attached to me, and when I started hanging out with another friend she got jealous.  For safety reasons we had a rule that we would let each other know where we going to be and what time we were planning on getting home.  She started to get upset when I started hanging out with this one friend.  "Oh, you're going to see HER again?  I made dinner for us!  You don't care when I do things for us!"

Um....you never said you were making dinner....and I'm allowed to hang out with other people.  

We didn't talk for a few months after getting back home, but we're friends again now.

So this wasn't a roommate, but still a good story. Freshman year of college, a group of girls down the hall in my dorm who were notorious for their room reeking of weed, and you could tell they were involved in other drug related activities.

One evening, we hear loud banging down the hall and peek out to see cops/drug dogs.  Turns out not only were they dealing various kinds of drugs, but also making and distributing counterfeit money (apparently they were very advanced, but dumb, 18 year olds).  They of course were kicked out.  

The roommate I lived with in college wasn't crazy per say, but weird about having quiet study time.  She once asked me to stop typing (a paper for a class) because it was disturbing her reading.... Oh yes please, I'll stop doing my homework so you can do yours.  

flutteringinfl

My freshman year roommate was certifiable. Everything started out awesome, and then it was like something flipped a switch in her. I thought everything was cool, but it turns out she was quietly building up this resentment for all these perceived slights. She was mad at me for not sharing my TV with her (even though I had offered a whole bunch of times), for being annoyed that she was careless with my printer, for not reading a short story she'd given me, and for not being too keen on moving our dorm furniture around randomly (I liked the setup I had and didn't see the point in all that energy just for the hell of it).

She didn't tell me she was upset with me, though. Instead, she told our friends, framing it as if she had told me and I'd basically told her to go to hell. So there was like a three month period where all the people I thought were my friends hated me because they thought I was torturing the poor girl. They finally arranged an intervention where I had to sit and listen to all these ridiculous accusations of all the terrible things I'd supposedly done. They recited them while RM crouched on a chair with her head between her knees, occasionally looking at me as if she was afraid I might hit her.

Of course you can't keep crazy like that buried for very long, and eventually it came out that she'd exaggerated or made everything up, and she turned her wrath on other people in the dorm. She threw literal tantrums. Screaming, throwing things.

Needless to say I found a new roommate for sophomore year and minimized contact with her from then on. She transferred to a new college Junior year which timed coincidentally with everyone at our school deciding not to be friends with her anymore. Some friends showed me her blog and even after she transferred she was still saying nasty things about me, and her new pals, who'd never met me, were commiserating with her about how horrible I was.

I wasn't perfect, certainly, but I never bullied her. It was a crazy, stressful year but I learned a lot about myself and, even though most of what she said about me were lies, I still learned a great deal about how to treat people. Sure, it would have been nice to have a sane roommate, but it sure helped me grow and get a dose of the real world, where you can't always go home at the end of the day to avoid your problems.

What kind of human being actually does that? It makes me want to cry. 

I've only ever lived with one roommate (other than H), and while she never did anything truly demonic while we lived together she was a pretty sucky roommate. 

I had an 8-5 job M-F and took night classes while she was a server at a restaurant. She had zero respect for my schedule and would regularly invite friends over and blast music. Then they'd proceed to help themselves to my food and wine. Oh, and they'd park in our neighbors' parking spaces and sometimes leave them there when they carpooled to a different spot, leaving me home alone to answer the door to our very (understandably) angry neighbors.

For four years I lived with my BFF and Sloppy Joe. Sloppy Joe was, as her name suggests, messy. She was a bordeline hoarder. She would lose something and then accuse us (or our guests) or stealing things and then go on to find them under a pile in her room. 

My favorite Sloppy Joe story was that my BFF's room was right off the kitchen, Sloppy Joe's room was on the other side of the house. One night BFF woke up around 4am to go to the bathroom and out of the corner of her eye, she sees Sloppy Joe at the microwave, making a Hot Pocket. Naked, except for a thong. Throw a robe on girlfriend! She wasn't drunk or anything, I guess she just didn't think it was necessary to cover her bits and bobs to feed the late night munchies.

My roommates were all semi-normal.  I liked my first roommate, as she wasn't very demanding, and seemed pretty tame compared to other friends roommates...that being said, she was definitely a crazy one when it came to her relationship.  

She started dating a guy from home (about 6 hours away) about a month into our Freshman year, he was older.   We went to school in upstate NY.   Anyway, they'd talk for HOURS every night, no problem, except when it ranged from 2AM to 5AM and was in our joint dorm room.   On occasion she'd be really needy and demand, yes DEMAND he travel out to visit us right that moment because she missed him so much, and he'd DO IT!  One time I remember hearing it and telling her, 'Uh, butting in here to remind you that we have a BLIZZARD warning in effect for the area for the next two days, you know that right?'   Her response was to tell him he better start driving now to beat the storm and she'd be totally upset with him if he didn't.  It was 10PM at night - dude showed up to our dorm room at 6AM after driving (and yes hitting said Blizzard) all night.   He ended up having to stay longer then he planned because, ya know Blizzard!

Not my roommate - but a girl on my floor.   First day of move in you do the 'Hi, how are you?' meet and greet, whatever.  Meet the parents, etc.   Well for this poor girl she got to really meet the parents when her roommates parents pulled her aside and proceeded to tell her about how they're darling daughter has an eating disorder (Anoerxia) and because they live 4 hours away they won't be able to watch her to make sure she eats properly, so it'll be her job now as their daughters roommate to keep an eye on her and make sure she's eating regular meals.   WTF?

Wow, I feel like none of my roommates were that bad after reading your stories!

In my first dorm, I had two roommates. One of the girls was as dumb as a rock. She was from California but told us she decided she wanted to go out of state for school because she heard California was going to fall in the ocean one day. And she was dead serious.

I lived with a guy friend after freshmen year. His mom owned the condo, and she was a nut job. She yelled at me for using dryer sheets in the dryer because they apparently scratch the inside of the dryer. He wasn't a nightmare of a roommate, but he did like to take my stuff and drink my alcohol without asking. 

The only creepy thing he ever did was one night I was sleeping in my room with the door locked. All of the sudden I woke up and he was in my room. He said "Oh, I wanted to see if you had any blank CDs. I didn't think you were home." Um, so it would have been okay if I wasn't?? 

buttercup1958

Wow those are some really sucky roomates. I've lived with V for the past year and a half. I did have one sucky roomate. She would always be watching Hunger Games. Like I think she watched it over 20 times. The most annoying thing was her boyfriend moved in with us. We lived in a dorm room so I didn't have my own space. They did it over time so I didn't even notice until it was too late. He lived out of a suitcase. He would even be in our room when she wasn't there. I was so happy when the year was over.

I never had any bad roommates, but my twin sister made up for it. She dealt with the crazies of the world.  I thought it would be hard to find so many loons in such a small town.  

   My sis had this one roommate that would buy very little food and eat my sister's food and claimed she bought it.  She, also, would NEVER wash her clothes, because she would wait for her parents to do it.  She visited them only once a month.  So she would rewear dirty clothes, and spray them with Victoria's secret Heavenly perfume. To this day, no one can wear heavenly perfume around my sis or she will start dry heaving because it smells like BO to her, now. This roommate also told outrageous stories.  I always loved hearing them, because it was funny. But yeah, she was a crazypants.

  My sister's first roommate borrowed her thong underwear... from her hamper (they weren't clean). It wasn't the only thing she borrowed, she, also, borrowed my sister's boyfriend. (She used that term in saying it was just one night. I just borrowed him. what's the big deal.) Lol

  My sister's last roommate was despicable. And I hope she is rotting in hell now.  My sister had a cat, and one day, the cats legs were broken, and no one knew how it happened.  My sister, a college student, had to pay $1,000 to get pins and a cast put on her cats leg.  A little  while later, the cat went missing. My sister was so upset over this. She overheard her roommate and her friends laughing that they broke the cats legs and later on killed him. I never wish ill on anyone, but if you hurt a poor defenseless animal, a child, or the elderly, and you should be wiped off the earth.

  My sister then moved in with me, and it was just the easiest roommate we ever had. Even more than H, sorry honey! Moving in with my then FI, was a bit of an adjustment, because we have two different ideas of clean, and he doesn't share in the cooking.  I am pretty lucky to have only lived with awesome people.

Because the right way to deal with a major mistake is to tell lies and spread rumors about the person who had nothing to do with it.

I mentioned it briefly in the other thread but my freshman year roommates were pretty terrible. Though compared to some of these, maybe I got lucky! And in all fairness, I think triples are generally setting people up for divisiveness, as you almost always end up with a two against one situation. 

So aside from the whole building a beer pong table on a Tuesday thing, they threw tons of parties in our room without ever clearing it with me. I was locked out on multiple occasions but the ONE time my BF and I locked them out it was as though a crime had been committed. I got to experience one roomie messing around with her gay best friend and when I woke up the next morning they were both naked on top of her covers. Which made him the second naked guy I had seen at that point. Generally we were just not a good match and I'm so glad I never had randomly assigned roommates again.

ETA: I forgot that at the end of the year we got assessed a damage fee for the closet door they removed to make a beer pong table. They originally tried to tell our RA that it was my closet (patently untrue as they each had a closet to and I got the wardrobe.) When that didn't work, they still tried to get me to pay for my third. Yeah, not happening!

Was she filming a Ke$ha video?

@themuffinman16, the story about the cat is horrible.  Did she report them at all?

She did, but the cops said it was she said/ she said. Even with the xrays of the cat's broken leg.

When I asked him to contribute to utilities he would freak out, and she would end up paying me extra once he left. They fought like no ones business. Big drawn out screaming matches that would end up with him breaking up with her and stalking off, and her running after him begging him to take her back. This actually happened in a mall once.

Last straw came when we were all making breakfast together and his crazy switch turned on. Seriously, everything was nice and calm and dandy and then all of a sudden he is screaming for no reason. I tell him to calm down or get out. She's begging him to calm down, buddy picks up one of my dishes and chucks it at the wall. And then takes off.

I pull her aside and tell her to not go after him. And put my foot down saying that she is more than welcome to stay living with me but he was no longer welcome in my home.

I came home that night to her giving me her notice, telling me that they decided to buy a house together........

What. The. Fuck.

Yea... I know... I think it was the first time in my life that I was to dumbfounded to even speak. I think I just stood there with my mouth hanging open.

I worried about her a lot after she moved out. She changed her phone number and deleted FB so I couldn't even check in to 'see how things were going' 

I was terrified that I was going to see her name in the paper one day

one roommate was kind of a psycho.  A couple weeks after moving in, she quit her job because she didn't feel like going anymore.  Then realizes that she has no money to pay rent, so joins a dating website specifically looking for men with money.  

Starts "dating" some guy she met online (nothing wrong with online dating - but this was just a sugar daddy) only because he decided to start paying her rent and flying her to meet him in vegas, etc, paying for her school (they'd only met in person twice). This all weird, but as long as she's paying rent, i really didn't care.  

Then she tells me that her sister had gotten kicked out of her court ordered rehab facility (for doing/selling meth while pregnant) and didn't have anywhere to live.  So psycho sister and her baby move into our apartment too, which is not ok, because sister got kicked out for using again and I don't want that shit in my house.  Sister is really unstable and violent, as is her meth dealer boyfriend who started coming around our house.  I suspected my roommate of using as well after a couple violent outbursts toward me that she tried to make physical.  Constant screaming and fighting (keep in mind, there's a baby in the house as well). 

Had some issues with apartment company not letting me out of my lease, but after a couple weeks of writing letters to corporate and getting lawyers involved I was able to move out and force her out as well (it was a joint lease, they wouldn't let just me out and I didn't want to move out without her moving out as well or I'd be just as liable for any damage or illegal activity).  

Never lived with a roommate after that.
