Worst roommate you ever had?

My second year of college I was in the dorms still, because I was too lazy to find an apartment. The first semester was really great. I had a roommate who was a foreign exchange student, we got along well and both learned a lot. He moved out at the semester, leaving an opening in the room.

I come back from the winter break and there is this huge guy in there. The first thing he asks me is literally, "Do you like to work out?"

Of course I don't like to work out, I used to swim, but I tore up my shoulder and now am pleased to be the average looking guy who is a huge nerd. But it isn't like this alone could mean this guy is an asshole, I just met him and maybe he is a good guy.

That evening I am sitting at my computer watching the NFL playoffs, and some girl comes to visit him. That is fine, I have visitors too. His bed is lofted up, and my desk is next to it, perpendicular to the foot of the bed, so I can't see him while I am at my desk. I start noticing that his sheets are rustling around and then I realize they are having sex, with me right there in the room. What the hell, man?! I just met you! Apparently he didn't think that it would bother me, since that is such a normal behavior.

I take my academics seriously, and take hard schedules because that is why I am here. I go to all my classes. He on the other hand is majoring in "Excercise training" or some other nonsense like that. His schedule is only for 12 hours, and 6 of those hours are volleyball and basketball. He doesn't go to all his classes, in fact, he probably goes to less than half. This guy is a fucking idiot.

He still sets his alarm for them though. And he kept hitting snooze every ten minutes, every morning for hours until I told him to shut the fuck up.

Some mornings when he didn't have class, he would get up and watch movies on his computer. That's fine, wear headphones though because I am still asleep. But, it seems that it is impossible for him to wear headphones for whatever reason. Whenever he wanted to watch a movie, he would watch it. And I would wake up and have to listen to it.

The same with his "music", the 3 chords and a cloud of dust death metal that just sounds bad. I listen to classical music and jazz. I wear headphones because he doesn't like the music, and I like not having the music distorted by other noise (death metal). He just wouldn't wear his headphones, no matter if I were sleeping or if I were there before hand listening without them he would just walk in and crank it up. Dick.

Did I mention he uses a macbook, and bose speakers?

Then one day I discover that I had written 3 checks totaling $700. He had gotten my checkbook. I called the police, and now that sonofabitch is kicked out of school for a combination of being a thief and a terrible student.

Anybody have any bad roommates?
 
What a fuck head.


Glad he got thrown out. Maybe when he was having sex, he hoped you'd join him?


Maybe you should have. 😀
 
LOL wow that's brutal, but nice he was kicked out. That's one of the reasons I never went in dorm. You never know who you'll be stuck with for many years.
 
I had my worst roommate ever my freshman year of college.

The guy talked, laughed, and acted like the retard starfish Patrick from the Spongbob cartoon. The first sign of trouble came on move-in day when he brought a pair of big speakers into the room. I gave him the benefit of the doubt though and told myself that he would be respectful and only play them at appropriate times. I was wrong. Every morning, he would blast hardcore screaming punk music... at 8:00am no less. One day my other roommate just strolled out and unplugged his iPod, threw it on his bed, and calmly went back to bed. That solved that problem, but there were so many more.

He met this girl at a party about 2 months in. She seemed pretty cool and was fairly nice, and no one really minded having her around. However, she started sleeping over EVERY NIGHT. It got to the point where she was essentially living at our apartment, despite her having her own. One night, it was too cold in the apartment, so she started bitching at my other roommate to turn the heat up because she was too cool. My roommate snapped and told her that she didn't live there, that she had no right to tell us what to do, and that if she didn't like it she could GTFO. They both left and stayed over her place every night for the remainder of the semester.

He would constantly leave all kinds of trash, half-drank soda bottles, and dirty dishes all around the apartment. One day I just took everything and dumped it in his bed. He came back and flipped out at me, asking why I would do that. I told him that I was sick of his shit being all over the damn place, and that after telling him numerous times to clean it up, I was getting sick of it. I told him that all he had to o in the future to avoid it was clean his own damn stuff up.

And finally, the jizz stains. He changed his sheets ONCE the entire year, so there were jizz-covered sheets sitting on his bed all year long. Not fun to look at.
 
This stupid fucking bitch that lives with us now. I live in a house with my girlfriend, another couple, and this one girl that I just can't stand.

She's all about saving the Earth; stopping global warming, etc, etc, yet she leaves her computer on (which has a 'STOP GLOBAL WARMING' sticker on it) ALL THE TIME. Even when she's gone for a weekend, computer stays on. And she takes the longest fucking showers. No joke, like, 45 minutes. She doesn't ever clean up after herself, ever. So it's quite obvious she's just a trendy/cliche brainless fucking cause head.

She leaves her shit everywhere. Hasn't done dishes ONCE. We recycle, so we break down the cardboard and let a little stack build up in the kitchen, and then we take it out to where we keep the cardboard until the recycling comes. She'll just finish a box of something, and just leave the box NEAR where we keep the cardboard. Can't fucking be bothered to break it down.

She'll take naps in the living room on my girlfriend's fancy-ass $900 couch, and just fucking sleep the day away. Once she gets up to go somewhere, she leaves all her shit in the living room.

She has a ferret that she lets run around the house sometimes, and the fucking thing smells so bad. Thing tries to come into my room and I literally kick it out. No way do I want that smelly rodent in here. She's outside on the phone/smoking cigarettes right now, and her ferret is running around the house. We have 4 cats, and 2 of them are young males. I hope they fucking tear the thing apart.

And to boot, she's just fucking dumb. No common sense. She thinks she's funny and she's not, at all. She goes on and on about the dumbest shit nobody cares about. She'll try to start conversations with the other housemates about shit nobody in their right mind would care about. I really cannot stand this girl. I've disliked few people more than I dislike her.

Good thing is she's moving out in a few weeks. Thank fucking god. Just thinking about this girl makes my blood boil.

Edit: OP, what'd he listen to for bands? Some death metal is pretty shitty, but there's a lot of really good/talented musicians in the world of death metal. I agree though, if you're not into heavier music, it sounds awful. Takes a while to get used to it. Also, he sounds like a fucking moron.

You owned him, nice 😀 :thumbsup:
 
My worst roomate sold cocaine and steroids out of the house and when he got a new shotgun so he could "go target shooting" he showed it to me by shucking it and pointing it at my face.

So many things you can do... 😀

What about that trick where you set the background to a print screen of the desktop, then remove the icons and start menu, that way, she'll never be able to click on anything. That'll teach her.
 
second semester junior year after my first roommate got pulled out of school by his mom... there's a long list of things I hated about it, but the fact that he was a pedophile was at the top of the list.

he didn't have a computer so I said he could use mine when I wasn't around... but one day, I was going through my browser history looking for a site I had visited earlier in the day, and I came upon some questionable pictures -- nothing illegal (ie: fully clothed) but suggestive in a way that made me want to barf. started locking my computer that day.

Nothing a Louisville Slugger to the face couldn't fix.
 
After reading the first few posts, suddenly my former (male) roommate with the Celine Dion and Dawson's Creek obsession doesn't seem so bad.
 
I had a roommate in an apartment. I knew the guy from high school and from some mutual friends, even though he was a year (or 2?) ahead of me. Anyway, I never had a problem with him. He was a little geeky but we never got in each others way and everything went fine until about 6 months into sharing an apartment when he announced he was gay.

The gay part never bothered me - I wasn't his type 🙂 I have relatives that are gay and my mom owned hair salon, so I was quite used to being around gay guys. We just treated it like any other situation - you have "company" over, just let me know and I'll go to a movie or something.

That worked until he started messing around with a teenage boy that lived in our apartment complex. I drew the line on that one - I was working for a defense contractor and I had a high level clearance. No way was I going to jeopardize my career or my reputation by virtue of being his roommate should he get caught messing with underage boys. I talked to an old friend of mine and he and I ended up getting an apartment together after my lease was up with the other guy.

The LAST time I had a room mate was in the Corps.

(well, unless you count my wife and kids...) :roll:

Wow, you knew FBB in person?

 
I had the good fortune of rooming with friends all four years... no real problems here.

Though last week I heard a rather disturbing story from a friend... he'd had suspicions that his roommate is gay, but just had them confirmed in a bad way. He was tired and went to bed, then woke up when he heard his roommate come back to the room and thought "Hmm, someone else came in too" but thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. In the morning when he woke up, there was his roommate... in bed with another guy.

At this point my friend is like "WTF" and pretends not to notice, hoping they'd leave. They don't, and he basically runs out of the room ASAP. When he comes back from classes, they're still in bed.

There's also this one guy in our hall who gets "sexiled" from his room occasionally...

I'm so happy I'll be living in a studio in less than 2 months. My roommates aren't quite as bad as your dumb one though.

My situation: 2200sq.ft. apartment, 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a large sunroom (turned into a bedroom) that share another bathroom, so total of 5 people sharing this apartment. I'll call my roommates A (sunroom dude), B (master bed with private bath), C (room with private bath), and D. Our kitchen has a dishwasher too.

Things that piss/pissed me off:

A
-pile of cardboard garbage in the corner of the living room by his sunroom entrance. Hasn't taken it out all year.
-Leaves glasses lying around the apartment, can't be bothered to put them in the dishwasher.
-Can't pay the gas bill on time, saw a "Final Notice" shutoff warning on his desk.
-He leaves nasty food lying around on dirty plates, thus leaving the rest of us with a dwindling supply of plates.
-In his minifridge, there are a pile of dirty and rotting things on some of the missing plates.
-Leaves lights on and stuff when he leaves for hours and just generally wastes electricity.
-Has these space heaters in his room that he'll leave on when he's gone for hours. When I would hear them on, I would go turn them off - afraid he'd start a fire since they were sitting on a rug.
-The once a quarter time that he uses the stove, he'll leave the dirty pot sitting on the stove or in the sink for WEEKS where it will proceed to stink up the place. (Thank god my mom gave me my own pots and pans. I'll be damned if I'm going to clean up after roommates just so I can feed myself.)
-Never cleans the shared bathroom. Said he'd clean it if I asked him, but I'm of the belief that things like cleaning shouldn't have to be asked for. They should just be done by someone taking some initiative.

B
-No problems. Keeps the mess in his room. Would live with again.

C
-Jammed his toilet somehow and started using my shared bathroom for his business. Took him a month to call the landlord to get his toilet snaked. Didn't repay the use of our toilet for a month by cleaning or anything. Never washes his hands.
-Never fills the water pitcher and almost always leaves it on the kitchen counter, where it will just warm up.
-Leaves glasses lying around everywhere and leaves dirty dishes in the sink, that happens to be right next to the dishwasher! Some of these glasses are filled with water, like he was going to drink them but forgot immediately after pouring the water.
-Extremely inept at pouring dry cereal into a bowl and sticking said cereal into his mouth. Wherever he poured the cereal, you'll see tons of pieces either on the counter or the floor.
-When he drops cereal on the floor, he kicks it off into a corner so he can attract rats or something. :roll:
-Talks really loudly (no "indoor voice"). Kind of reminds me of a Loud Howard.
-Never takes out the trash. He once overfilled the trash so it was mounded on top. Reminded me of that Simpsons episode where Bart staples a banana peel to the side of the garbage so he doesn't have to take the trash out.

D
-Habitually leaves the oven on. Too distracted playing fucking WoW ALL THE TIME (I don't mind him playing WoW, but don't be a fucking dumbass and forget to turn off the oven). I'm worried he'll burn the apartment down too.
-Leaves pots and pans on the stove and will only seem to clean them when he wants to use them again. Once in a blue moon, he'll clean pots after he uses them.
-Nice guy, would never want to live with again, lol.
-Also never takes the trash out, unless it's really bad and I've been ignoring it for a day or two. Left a container of spoiled milk sitting on a counter saying he would take it out in a few minutes. I saw it yesterday, bulging on the counter (6 days after he said he'd get rid of it) and put it in his room. Finally took it out.


Edit:
My first year roommate in the dorm - we had a double suite (private bath, 2 people per bedroom). He'd set his alarm for 7 or 8AM every weekday; most days, he'd shut it off and go back to bed for another hour. That stupid alarm woke me up almost every day. He'd work for hours into the night with his super-bright desk light instead of going somewhere else to work at 2am. My older brother came to visit around Easter of that year because he was looking at physics grad programs. My brother saw some paper on my roommate's desk and asked him what he was reading about. My roommate proceeds to lecture my older brother, a physics guy, about what spectroscopy is :roll: Such a condescending asshole.
 
My apartmentmates were frat boys. Watched TV 24/7, loud as fuck, and frequently left their dishes out unwashed.
I put on my ear plugs and i don't feel rage.
luckily i don't mind being overly clean all the time, and they clean everything up every few days, so it worked out well.
