Roommates

[Ophiuchus]

My housemate stories are all reasonably good, and all from university.

I'm currently living with a friend that I lived with last year and two random guys, one of whom I knew from my first year before I switched to my current course. Everyone does their share of the housework, nobody steals stuff and we all get on well, even though we don't really hang out much 'cos we all just do our own things. Pretty chilled way of living, no stress or drama.

I guess the weirdest was the Chinese guy who spoke little English (which makes me wonder how he managed to learn anything at an English university, but never mind), always wore shorts, and only left his room to shower and cook. He would always sing loudly in the shower and make tons of mess and noise while cooking. Something to do with hacking through chicken wings, bones and all, and frying it up. For every meal. Every day.

There's a couple of old housemates that I'm no longer on speaking terms with, but that was entirely my fault - a misunderstanding plus my big drunken mouth = massive argument. Shame, we used to get on so well.

Reading these roomie experiences scares me, especially since I almost roomed with one of my old friends who I simply despise now. >_O

Let's see...I did almost end up with a bad roomie. My first roommate moved out to help his sick grandmother, leaving me to live alone for about 2 months. Then my RA told me that I would be getting a new one. This guy had been kicked out of another dorm for becoming belligerently drunk at a bad time (right in front of his RA). The residency director thought maybe moving him into a floor with a better sense of community would help. A noble cause, but why move a proven violent drunk into my room? >_>

In the end, I did what any sensible American college student would do: I called my mom and had her go apeshit on the residency director. The director caved in and I got to pick a friend to move into my room while the drunk dude moved in with my friend's asshole roommate. The drunkie was later kicked out after cops found crack in his room.

Sooo you could say that almost happened in my room?

I caught a friend of mine using a vibrator in my room. She freaked and it ended going out my window and into my neighbors daughters room. Talking to my neighbor after that hasn't been fun. Damn open windows. I don't know whether I should classify that as a good or bad experience though.

Doors exist for a reason.
That sounds like a scene from Generic Gross-Out Comedy IV.
It also had me laughing for a very long time.

Sadly, this has happened to me before.

i murdered mine and have kept him in a bag behind the wardrobe. the only problem i have with him is the smell..

Well you can get rid of that with some Febreeze,or you could sell me the body I'm trying to finish my leather jacket but I'm all out of hide...you wouldn't know how fast undertakers start to distrust you after a few incidents.

I say again.
She was using it in my room. And I know what it sounds like but it is (unfortunately) true. Damn neighbor still hasn't shut up about it.

Yes we are. She managed to piss off a guy I hate and potentially scar his daughter. Plus I like her too much to not be friends.

 

[Duskwaith]

....Is she hot?

I wouldnt call her unattractive, shes just not very bright and unintelligent women tend to turn me off. Not to mention making a move on a friends gf deserves a swift kick in the balls.

THIS is fuckin funny send me a PM when anything has happened.

I see you want the juicy details...haha well there was that one time when she walked into the bathroom as i had just jumped in the shower...claiming she didnt realize i was there...ugh.

Im still not sure if that would be a bad thing or not yet...

haha, well beleive me its a little more awkward and less sexy than it sounds. I know its a great start to a good porno but im not there to clean her pipes or fix the tv...its where i go home to.

I suppose you wouldnt want to see it when your trying to enjoy your cheerios in the morning.

i think there's a few too many holes in him to be much use to you, thanks for the tip about the febreeze though, im still looking for an air tight bag for him though. got any spare?

I've only really had one roommate that stands out as a massive tool. While I was living in New Zealand I had to share a flat with an Argentinian called Fernando. He was a stuck up tool with a bad personality. Never did anything wrong per se, but you got the impression that he didn't like you. He was an alright drinking buddy though...

 

[megapenguinx]

I live with 4 roommates, it gets crazy. Basically I designated the two who have jobs as "Mom" and "Dad" and now refuse to call them by anything other than that. I think I'm the crazy roommate you hear stories about >_<

I worked for one of those summer sales programs where you go knocking door to door to sell their products(most often pest control or security systems). I worked for Orkin Pest Control. Anyway, these sales programs recruit really heavily from BYU (Brigham Young), the Mormon college. Suffice to say, I lived with Mormons for the summer. Most of it was ok. They weren't heavy into stifling my less than reputable traits, and in return, I tried to not be an intolerant ass to them (I tried not to swear in front of them, would try to watch R-Rated movies when they weren't around, that kind of thing). One of them though, was kind of an ass. His mission was in China, so he would rent Chinese flicks, and wouldn't turn on the subs, just so he could practice, and we'd be left not really knowing whats going on. He would make us fast forward through scenes in movies where there was making out, just to be sure he didn't have to see a sex scene (in PG-13 movies no less). He was pretty intolerant of non-Mormons, and he would go out of his way to get upset at the smallest slips on my part (even though I was doing him a favor by toning down my lifestyle). The straw that broke the camels back, that almost brought us to blows, was when he told me that he felt sorry for me because I wasn't Mormon. That it was a shame that I had to go to hell because I was too stubborn to just see the light. That he pitied me. My other roomies had to hold me back because I was about to break his jaw.

Hahaha! Good song!
But seriously, that must not be very fun for you...

That's lame, man. I know how you feel. If you're feeling brave, confront him. If you're not, let your landlord or whoever know and get him kicked out.
