Mom thought it was a good idea...
- I am a Freshmen in college and my mom thought the college life was going to be good for me. Instead of living with my bf she wanted me to get a roommate at the college dorms. Well we did a match and I thought all would be fine, but I hate my roommate, she doesn't pick up anything, she stays up late, drinks, eat all my food that i pay for, leaves all her stuff every where and doesn't respect anything! And my mom still wont listen to me about it.

fighting the push to become narcoleptic
- I live with a long time friend, enough said? This situation has been like an infinity sign roller coaster! He is an ass most of the time and when he decides to lighten up and stop being judgmental and jealous about my personal situations. For example; I am a Sophmore in college awaiting my Transfer to UC Berkeley and I am a busy person being proactive for my future. Since I wake up early for class and study when I'm not sleeping or in class, I have little free time. This guy (my room mate) doesnt work, go to school or even clean up after himself, and the worse part of it? He stays up all night and plays WOW even when I'm trying to sleep (at night like most people) and he remains ignoring my requests to let me sleep for even five in the night hours; and be quiet! I dont know what to do, Ive been sleeping on the couch lately so I can get at least a few hours of sleep as he has friends over until dawn every night also. Any suggestions?

Jealous Roommate
- My boyfriend doesn't have a job so he is living with his friend and his friends mother. A few weeks ago he begged me andd our fifteen month old baby to move in with them from the comfort of my dads home. I loved him so I moved in. The roommates mother is the biggest bitch I know. She is fifty six years old and jealous of me. The thing that pisses me off the most is that she likes privacy with my boyfriend in her room just to get me jealous. I listen by the door and she just talks about her boyfriend that never sees her and doesn't love her. She talks shit about me to my boyfriend that I need to grow up but never says it to my face. She does cocaine all the time and I don't do drugs. She insults my baby by saying why isn't she potty trained and why doesn't she walk. She then tops it off by saying how advanced her kids were and its because I'm a bad mother. I recently got burned by a big pot of boiling water and two modeling jobs called me back saying I got both jobs so soon ill be gone.

My roommate has aspergers....
- My girlfriend has aspergers, I just figured out as I signed an 8 month lease with her 2 months ago. Just to inform you a little about this condition they have no understanding of emotion and empathy AT ALL! So when you are trying to communicate feelings to them it flies WAYYYY over their heads and they don't get it. I am a very civil guy and try my hardest to work out problems, but if the recipient doesn't understand anything you're saying about how you're offended by certain actions she's done, or even if she's upset and you're trying to be there for her, she flips on you and mocks you and breaks you down.... She also has a few kids I really love that she neglects like crazy because of her condition.... On top of that she doesn't respect my space and comes into my room to apologize and then quickly mock me again.... Then I ask her to leave and she never does. Not sure how much more I can take of this. I'm going to end up in prison...

I Will Try Not to Kill Her
- I absolutely dread when my one roommate comes in. She is truly mean. For a while I asked her how classes were, how her day was, etc but she rarely answered, usually giving me a "Loser" stare. She is ALWAYS "cleaning" my room for me, just stacking my stuff in a pile and pushing it into the closet. She has unpluged the only clock in our room, MY clock, many times without permission. We have a window which provides plenty of light but she still turns the light on ONLY when the roommate she doesn't like is sleeping. She sleeps on the bunk under me and stays up whispering with her boy-toy until 1 A.M. She always makes rude comments toward toward me and our fourth roommate but is attatched to our second roommate. When my boyfriend visited me one weekend she left me a very snide note about us having sex, which we did not plan on doing in a four girl room.

H is for Hell
- There are some people who should move to Pluto and do the world a favor. H is one of those people. H is from a ridiculously rich family, as in she doesn't EVER have to work in college rich, and she loves to flaunt it. She talks about all the clothes she has, how her high school cost more than our university, how she has real pearls and on and on. That wouldn't be too bad but in addition she is just a mean person. She says snide little comments directed towards our other roommate who is very nice but got on her bad side by being messy. She hints that this girl stinks and she is always jusr plain mean. I used to ask her how her day was but she refused to answer and always looked at me with a "Whatever" look in her eye so I've stopped. She never asks me to move when I'm in the way but pushes past me or just says "Amelia.", we live in a TINY quad so I'm sorry I can't keep every inch of me out of your space. She constantly reorganizes my stuff and also took away MY clock without asking.

Inconsiderate HM
- I start work at 6. Each night I get woken up mid sleep, around 1030, from the other room and her outrageously laughing in her loud voice, tv on far too loud. Our walls are super thin so you could hear full conversations thru it. I feel rude telling her to politely be quiet each night at around 1am, 4 hrs before I get up. If I did it every night you'd think she'd get the hint. Worst part is she doesn't work.. Just bums money off the govt. so she has no concept of day and night. Doesnt tidy up after herself, and on the odd occasion it does happen, she must tell everyone so we can all congratulate her.., when it's just common courtesy to clean up after your own shit. Makes me want to live alone.

Boot-stealing roommate
- every other day i have to wake up early for my 8am class. One night my roommates bf started singing loud in her room. We have separate rooms. So i had to tell them to quiet down a lit bit so i can wake up at 6 30 for 8 am class. So following day, my boot went missing and i knew she did something to my boot. The other roommate wasn't back from her vacation. So i asked her did she see my boot. She told me someone probably broke into the house and stole my shoe. Next day i asked both of my roommates to give me 10 dollars each to get a new front door lock. If she keeps stealing my stuff, i will be asking 10 dollars to change a new lock.

abusive
- My room mate calls me bi-polar. All the time. And he calls me a paedophile because I always say hi to my friend's little sister. Ever heard of banter? He also bitches a lot. About me. Often in earshot without realising. It's ok though, I have a gun :) see you on the 9 O'clock news.

Inconsiderate
- I'm a freshman in college who thought living on campus would be really fun, so I got paired with a random roommate. She is the most inconsiderate person. She asked to use my ceramic cup for coffee and promised she'd wash it. She washed it when she wanted to use it again without asking. Now it's been sitting on her microwave, filthy for a week. That's a whole week I haven't been able to drink hot drinks in the dorm...it's my only ceramic cup. She's drunk texted me at 1 am and 4 am and woken me up. She always leaves the lights on when she leaves our room. Even if I'm laying down for bed, she'll turn the lights on and leave. Twice she's come in late on a week day and woken me up by turning the lights on. She turns all the lights on and hops in the shower at 3 am. The worst part is that this is ONLY Monday of our second week living together! She even had the nerve to ask me why I turned her lamp off last night at 2 am because she can't see! So rude.

Anger Issues
- I have had 5 roommates before. I now live with my boyfriend and another couple. The guy is great and we've become friends. The girl is by far the worst roommate I have ever had! Some reasons why she's terrible: 1) after she broke a plant pot on the front porch and did not clean it up for a week I swept it up and put it in a plastic bag and next to the trash. She chewed me out for "messing with her things" 2)when doing the laundry, I took out clothes from the drier and put them on top of it. I got chewed out for being "rude" and should have known that was an "invalid" place to put it. 3) I am not allowed to park in the driveway, but she is and she purposefully parks in a way that I can't get in. 4) She often doesn't do her dishes. So I do them for her and I get in trouble when I put the dishes in the wrong places. 5) She is ALWAYS upset. She has a permanent scowl on her face and always slams doors. 6) she's really mean to her boyfriend! i can't wait to move out!

Who does that?
- My suitemate's friend came over and got super drunk. That wasnt the problem since I drink too and we all have guys over and its not an issue for any of us. Anyway, her friend decided to stay over and in the middle of the night pissed inside my suitemate's laptop. Enough said.

Absentee Roomie
- You'd think that having a roommate who was never around would be a good thing, right? WRONG! So at the beginning of the year I met her and her identical twin sister (to this day, I can't tell them apart) and she informed me that she would be spending most of her time at her sister's dorm. So I thought, ok that's cool. I had the room to myself a lot, but when she was there I wanted to kill her. Her alarm went off an hour before I was planning to get up, and she didn't shut it off for 15 minutes! Just because you have to get up at 630 doesn't mean I want to. She would always convienently be there when I was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with her $h!t. She moved out mid-semester (thank GOD) but not without leaving a surprise in her closet for my new roommate: a bunch of dirty underwear. I didn't see them (again, thank god) but now I know why the room always smelled a little even though I cleaned it a lot. Good bye you suck!

worst roommate ever
- I had the crappiest roommate ever!!! As an exchange student in the state i was looking forward to campus life as in my home university i had my own bachelor pad. i was given this nasty ass foreign student. she NEVER showers, leave her dirty bloodied underwear on the floor, has never heard of deodorant, smoke weed, cigarettes in the room, will leave her half eaten cans of tuna/sardines/spicy curry in the room on thursday evening as she goes to the city and comes back monday!!! i used to clean the room every weekend cause i was raised in a very clean hygenic environment and my mum insisted on that. she will bring her stinky ass friends in our room and they all will sit on my bed. she eats all my study-snacks after her weed escapades, stole money from me on countless accounts and even tried to cheat my friends. she would always say that i was uncool cause i refused drugs. i eventually got a single room...bitch cried when i left and i was her fourth roomie that left her!!!

The Alcoholic
- My fiancé and I were desperate for a flatmate at one point and advertised the spare room, we didn't get a lot of interest so we let "Dave" move in. He told us that he would smoke outside and only drank socially, and he had a good job so we ignored his lack of teeth and unwashed headbanger hair and welcomed him to our home. Things went downhill pretty fast from there. He made it to work about 3 days a week, preferring to sit around downing bottle after bottle of cheap red wine and blasting heavy metal from 5am to 3am the next morning. He never ate or showered, and every time we got home the house stank of smoke. He threatened to stab us over the power bill (which we promptly paid and never mentioned again) and was prone to drunken rages. Eventually he stopped paying his rent, and moved out without notice two weeks later while we were out. He left a pile of beer bottles and cigarette butts for us to clean up, not to mention blood on the tiles from when he cut his hand one drunken night.
