roommates

[Linds]

Post up your annoying roommate stories.

I'll start:

Mine won't stop the singing the Toys 'R Us theme song despite the fact that she knows only the first line and cannot carry a tune.

[c1apton]

Try sharing a tour bus with 9 other folks who you work with everyday and do this for 6-9 months. It's been known to get ugly at times, for the most part we MAKE it work.

[witeshark]

Oh no! Is this what I'm headed for?

[Dudesky]

My old roomate used have such a big ass, he would leave stains at the back end of the toilet seat. He had this annoying thing about having the place in complete darkness- wouldn't turn lights on just to save energy. He would also miss the bowl when he peed . . Used to yell at him "Jesus f**kin' Christ, Jim, you're a grown man, WTF?! And if ya turned the goddamn light on, maybe you would know where the f**k you're pissing!"

D-sky lol

[mullethunter3]

can't say that i have any bad stories. me and half the girls on my floor are pretty much family.

am i the only one?

except the girl that just moved in across the hall from me. she about 6 foot and her bf is about 5'2". yeah. we call them "short and tall" or "david and goliath". anyway, they make out everywhere. in the hallway, in the tv lounge, at the drinking fountain, in the stairwell, sitting in the middle of campus... you get the idea. they're gross.

[celsdogg]

^^^ does she pick him up to make out with him?

im one to talk, my wife is 3 inches taller than me

I haven't had a roomate since I was in the military. One of my roomates was into fixing his motorcycle so we had tools and crap all over the place. My other roomate was into Ladysmith Black Mambazo and would play it constantly.

[Hoppy]

i lucked out and have no roomate. the kid never showed up. so far i have a single!

^Singles Rock, i had one my sophmore year.

Freshman Year my roommate went from a really cool guy who liked to go out to a conservative prick in about a week, it sucked. He also loved the dark but that didn't matter we weren't paying for electric.

I hate it when my roommates eat my food, I have to write my name on everything or else they think they can just eat it.

[celsdogg]

^^^ you should tell them to write their name on their gf, because if they keep eating your food. . .

jk

NO!!! he picks her up!!!! i don't know how they do it without falling over.... a friend and i (who are about the same height as them... i'm 5'10" and she's 5'2") tried to figure out the logistics of it. she picked me up and i tried to get in position. but before i could settle down to her height, we fell on our asses.
i'm personally baffled.

Ok, I have to get up at 6:00 am every morning for Air Force PT, mind you im in college and my first class isnt until 11 oclock, so 6 is early.

sometimes i stay out late till 3 or so, but most of the time i come home at 11 or 12. my roomate is never at the room. but he comes back drunk at 4 or 5, flips every light on, and proceeds to talk to me about my day, and im like: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? and when he wakes me up i start to answer and then he just walks into the bathroom and gets in the shower as if he never even asked me a question....

I am like if you didnt want to hear my answer WHY WOULD YOU WAKE ME UP TO ASK ME!!!!!

oh and he cant go one day without losing his phone, keys, etc...

but other than that he is cool

[Linds]

Hahaha^

One of my roommates is completely absentminded, too, which is funny until she forgets that she got some milk out and didn't put it back. She'll seriously go around asking us what the smell is.

Air Force ROTC?

the last roommate i had was a good friend of mine. he was cool besides the occasional annoyance.

the one thing that did bug the shit outta me was the day before he left, he decided that instead of going outside to smoke, he would do it in the room. and our door of our 12x12 room led right outside!

[RSF5]

My roommate goes to bed at like 9:45 (WTF what teenager goes to bed at 9:45), and I usually go to bed sometime after that. Anyway I'm on my computer probably on here and he's lisening to his iPod I guess getting ready to go to sleep. Anywho I hear the Celine Dion Titanic theme song and I'm like wtf is that, then I realise he's lisening to it! I started cracking up I couldn't help it! Then when it hit that line Wheeeeeeerrrrrrreeeveeeeeerrr yooooouuu aaare I just burst out laughing and I covered my face it was unbelievable. God I've got a bunch of things about him, I have two roommates and they are just excessively normal. I know thats hard to imagine but if you met them you would know what I mean.

My roomate history:

- 1st semester: Brad, a Junior who was in that suite only because he was following a group of guys whom he considered his friends. They were trying to shake him, but that did not work.
- 2nd semester: Javier, a somewhat arrogant guy in my engineering class. He had a single room, but wanted me to be his roomate. One of his selling points was "You know, since we are among the top of teh engineering class and all." He is now one of my best buddies. I think his arrogance has gone down.

- Sophomore Year: Julian, a very conservative kid with whom I rarely held conversations. I hated that he often locked me out of my room. I didn't like it that he left the lights on when nobody was there (the waste really upset me). Oh, and he had a phone that was shaped like a VW bug convertible. I abhored the high-pitch ring tone. I had gotten stuck with this guy because Oleg, a friend from Russia, decided at the last minute to bail out on being my roomate.

- Junior Year: Back to Javier (see 1st semester): He had a girlfriend, Monica, who knew how to cook really well. Good times.

- 1st Senior Sem: I moved oof campus to live in some ladie's basment. Turns out I was sharing the room with Tony, who was the worst roomate I ever had. I had all the inconveniences of a roomate (respect his space, be quiet is he's sleeping, share a closet, etc.), but none of the benefits (enjoyable company, someone with whom to joke, hang out, do Wal-Mart runs, etc.).

- 2nd Senior Sem: I moved back into one of the duplexes on campus. The only room available already had somebody in it: Juan. He is one of the colest people on earth. Excellent roomate experience. We are still pretty good friends. We hardly did any school work, except on Sunday and Monday nights. Then we just cruised through the rest of the week, until Sunday struck again. Good times.

3rd Senior Sem: Juan, Cesar, and Andre. We shared a duplex. Boy, was taht crazy. A lot of the parties went down at our place. Only that ANdre would always splash water all over the bathroom floor when he showered, and Cesar often needed somebody to explain to him the jokes on Chapelle.

8/2004 - 6/2006: Sam. He was one of my friends from college. Deciding to share an apartment as an absolute disaster I hated everything on TV that he liked. We lived completely different lifestyles. He was slow to doing the dishes. He never cleaned up n the apartment. I eventually asked him to leave. I have been on my own ever since.


There it is. More about my life than you will ever care to know.

One of my roommates always leaves food out, one time last year before i lived with them they were having a party or something and he comes out and is like "guys i think someone puked in my room" we went in and it was one of the worst smells i have ever smelled. One of my friends girl had a dog and she brought the dog over and it found it. It turned out to be some rotting meat that he somehow left in his room.

[celsdogg]

^^^ thats foul.

[Hoppy]

well il do my history aswell

freshman year i got ben. cool kid. similar tastes in music and mutual hatred for other people. friendly banter and threats to kill each other in our sleep. one of us would normaly stumble back tot he room late. me drunk, him high/tripping w/e. then one day he bust in the door of the quad i hung out with " steve! dump any booze you got in the room. the cops are coming to search!" wich needless to say got me up and moving. over all a wicked cool kid though i did get sexiled the first night of college. still talk with him around campus

sophmore year. i was supposed to room with the kids from the quad. that didnt happen cause we couldnt get a suiet so then i was gunna room with this kid jeff. but then there wasnt an empty room for us both to get into ( crappy lotery numbers) so he got a room with this kid pat. (even though jeff then withdrew over the summer and we have heard from him twice since then.) next door to a kid we call grizzly ( can be a pain in the ass) so i ended up just saying fuck it and picking a random room as the 3rd man. none of us knew each other. show up the first day to find out one of the kids withdrew so it was only me and Jay. jay was cool. we got along good. developed like a dailey schedual. i continued the friendly banter about killing him in his sleep. best of all he turned 21 second semester so he was wicked cool about packie runs. and we ALWAYS had alcohol in the room

this year. no roomate was supposed to have some kid from georga but he never showed/ leaving me minus a fridge and microwave( see my ramen on an iron thread) but the funny thing is the first day last year i went to hang out in grizzlys room. ended up going to some apartment with the kid pat. and then pat and grizzly moved into one room. then they had a falling out, so pat moved to a new room got a new roomate who happend to have been in one of my classes. anyway i hung out with pat and nate ( the new roomate) and tom (across the hall from me ). so this year i got the room down the hall from them. wich is good cause for some unkown reason they had to carry me back to my room last night. ( drunk or sleep walking i cant decide wich it was. cause i didnt drink alot)
