I once had a roomate who, when I left for a month in the summer, allowed two people (whom I didnt know) to stay in my room. He never bothered to ask or much less tell me about this.
Imagine walking into your apartment after being gone for 4 weeks to find two strange people sleeping in your room and all of your possesions piled in the corner of the room........ yeah, the conversation went soemthing like this...

Me: Hi, (loudly to wake them up, it was afternoon)

Them: Uh, Who are you?

Me: The guy who owns the bed youre sleeping on without permission. Should I call the cops now or should I just go get my bat?

Them: Whoa! Whoa! Clayton said we could stay here and you wouldnt mind.

Me:Yeah well, Clayton never bothered to ask me if two random people could SQUAT IN MY ROOM AND TOSS MY THINGS IN THE CORNER! NOW GET THE F&^* OUT!


I moved out shortly thereafter and also told him to ask those two people for my last months rent since they were so cozy there anyway.

Absolutely sad but true.

My worst roommate ordeal was renting a movie at blockbuster (a crappy one, nonetheless) the night before leaving for the summer, getting confirmation that one of the three would return it the next day.

When I returned to take the GRE two months later there remained the video on top of the entertainment center, in plain view. When I returned it, hoarse from screaming, Blockbuster tried to collect $147 for it (this was well before their "max charge is the price of the video" policy).

Luckily I moved a week later near another Blockbuster and was able to open a new account.

Stories like these are why I've lived alone for the past 8 years.

What I/we would do if a roomie wouldn't do the dishes is "clean" everything up, except we put his dirty dishes back in the cupboards that belonged to him. The kitchen would look immaculate, but his part of the cupboards were stank lol. He got the hint after the second time (amazing how it took two!).

I'm not a stranger to sharing a room. I lived with my sister for 13 years of my life, and while she was a mess to live with, her mess was always out of sight (ie: her half of the closet would be piled up with stuff and things would be hidden under her bed). She always left my stuff alone, so I figured if my sister who is one of the most self-centered people I know could be trained to keep things together, there was no one I couldn't room with. Color me surprised with the roommate I've got this year. I figured cleanliness would be the problem, but it turns out I'm the messier one, and this is why.

My roommate never leaves the room... ever. She doesn't go to classes, she hasn't made any new friends, she just squats here. Her half of the room is immaculate because the only thing she uses is her laptop to talk to people from high school. No homework, no open text books, no research... just her, a chair, and a laptop. You would say, "well that's not so bad," but when you come home from a long day of classes that don't end until 7 and you come in finding someone touching the things on your desk because she needed someone here to talk her through homework because she never leaves the room to go to class. And when you ask politely to get your chair back, and that person says "no," well there's hell to pay.

And since that night when I yelled at the both of them, she has been doing these little passive aggressive things like when I go to bed before her (generally when I'm sick, she's usually in bed first and sleeps all damn day) she'll turn on her desk lamp and shine it up toward my bed, or she'll leave the room and slam the door behind her, or she'll turn the tv on her take her headphones out of her computer and put either on full blast.

My favorite is that we have a pact that we'd switch dishes and trash duty every other week, and this week was my week to do trash duty. I come home yesterday and the trash is already taken out and every single dish is piled up in need to be washed. Because she never leaves the room, she uses up all of my dishes in the room and then leaves them with food dried inside of it.

We've talked about the never leaving the room things and she's pretty much told me that she has no where to go (uh, duh, go to class and make some friends) and we've talked about that person in the room in my stuff never coming here again. I've yelled about the desk lamp more than once, and I let a stream of expletives run the night she slammed the door and I had just fallen asleep after throwing up all night (I get really bad tension headaches which leave me physically sick), but she either doesn't care or she's so dense that she can't realize that my complaints are valid.

Frats are different, I lived in a frat and we had weekly details distributed (pledges got the worst, but it was usually distributed well each week) to all the guys. If you didn't do your part, you were put on probation and "pooled". What this is referring to is a 8 inch deep concrete pool that is 8ft by 6ft in front of our frat. You were thrown in, clothed, regardless of time of day or what you were doing. Everyone made sure to do their chores during the winter months

All this complsining about roommates makes me giggle. Hell my current room person loves clutter. Magazines all over the place, laundry hanging on the banister from upstairs...... you name it, and the sad thing is I married her. She wasn't like this before.

By the true gods!!

How do these people even cross the street without getting ran over?

I went to a local community college and stayed home my first years of higher education.

I did tours at Radford University to finish the BS

Lived in the dorms.

I was lucky the first year.

I was stuck in a large room wiht two other people when I got my orders.

One person (Persiville Va) did not come at the last notice. Friends talked him into staying home.
The other (Franklin Couty VA) was never there, expect the time they were sick as hell for one week.
The second semester the poor bastard drops out on the first day of school.
Meanwhile the Company commander does not through anyone with me for the rest of the semester. Sprind 2003 was a great semester.

My last tour I was in a room were I shared a bathroom with three others. It was super funny, I was doing my physical therapy internship and had tons of stuff to do, and I was on bathroom detail. I mean, these guys would not even sign the sheet for more TP when it went low, or clean the blasted thing.

I had the situation under control, but was a little pissed no one helped out.
Hey, maybe they thougt it was still good. lol.

Mean while, I visited one of them the next year, and their bathroom was total crab. My stomach is turing now.

All things considered, I was really really lucky compared to others wiht regard to hygene.

In conculsion, if you want to get sick fast, go to a College campas, they are loaded with germs.

Best prank I ever did on April fools day was typing up an fake eviction notice for a college roomie that was a grade "A" jerk. This guy had problems with the property management- parking in wrong spots, never paying rent on time, playing loud music in the wee hours, etc. I had the guy literally crying to his mother on the phone about how he had no money and didn't know what to do before I told him it was fake. I almost got a black eye, but his cooking stunk and he always rooster-blocked <wink wink> me at parties and at bars- he deserved it.
