My room-mate:
1. Would order take-out and store it under his bed until the smell got so bad that the RA had to order him to remove it or be fined. It goes without saying that, when asked to do it by people who had no authority, he would refuse.
2. Leave his dirty laundry everywhere, wear the same clothes for days at a time, and have his mother pick up his laundry, do it at home and then bring it back to him. He lived out of his laundry basket.
3. Never do any schoolwork at all. He would spend all day playing video-games, late into the night, keeping everyone else in the suite awake. Asking him to turn it down did nothing. He would have his mother and girlfriend (don't even get me started) to do his homework and write his papers for him. He failed out of college his sophomore year due to bad grades but his mother, a lawyer, somehow managed to finagle him back in. He promptly failed out again.
4. He would take his laptop into the bathroom with him, masturbate noisily and then exit the bathroom without washing his hands. I mention this after the fact that he failed out to make the following more disturbing.
5. He's now going to a culinary school.

I was going to try to top you with "The police came knocking on my door one night at three in the morning. I opened the door for them, pointed them to my roommate, watched him get marched out the door while trying to explain himself, got back back in bed and fell asleep only to find out the next morning that he and his friend were accused of date rape that night."

Nope. I can't top those. Let's see.

Had a little puerto rican guy that was doing his damned hardest to be Tony Montana. Walking around with a 9mm tucked in the front of his pants, always confrontational. Eh, lasted up until I threw him of the 2nd floor of the barracks. (usmc btw) He was mostly fine, and nothing happened to me as the SSGTIC of the barracks knew the guy was a shitbird.

Had a poor bastard that had a sleeping disorder. He could sleep through anything. I did my best to get him awake for work on time, but when you roll a dude off the top rack and he is still sleeping when he hit's the floor...
He was eventually ordered to a sleep clinic. Never saw him again.

Another was the feyest dude I've ever seen. I swear the guy must have had a sponsorship from curve. Did I mention he was black, and one of the nicest guys ever? Bitches were all over him.

And the last guy was a philipino with severe psoriasis(sp?) of the scalp and a RATHER UNSETTLING obsession with taking pictures of everything (everything. Me sleeping, headmate on the toilet, dude buffing a floor on field day) and photoshopping it in nonsensicle ways. Now that I look back, he was probably a SA goon trying his damned hardest to win photoshop friday.

I used to have a housemate that went to a local college.

Fuck that kid was fucking stupid. He broke 3 fucking windows. Yeah, my house is a rundown piece of shit, yeah it was actually built in the goddamn 1920's but it's my house.

Once I got promoted at my day job, I told him I was making more than enough dough to live here alone and if he didn't shape up and respect my property, I was going to throw his ass out. About 5 months later, his girlfriend and him got drunk, went hot dogging in the woods behind my house and managed to knock down a tree way too fucking close for comfort.

He pretty much totaled his Bronco and I gave him the boot.

In the end, I was stuck with the job of pruning the tree alone. The branches weren't terribly hard. However, the trunk was huge and posed a great challenge. So, I asked myself "WWRGD."

It really was way too goddamned close for comfort, because now I can use it as a foot rest on my little patio. I can let my little bundle of trouble climb around on it all he likes, use it as a foot rest, and not spend money to have it trucked up.

Just remember: if the women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy.

Some people are weird and think that typing like that is required when conversing on the Internet. He's probably totally normal.

I'm shy and went through a period in my life where I had very few bros of the same sex, so I had a fun four years of housing roulette.

My college roommates (as in people I shared a bedroom with, not a housemate):
1. Cokehead, partied every night, failed at being a hipster, dead-set on being an art major despite having zero talent or knowledge in the area. Worst-smelling human being I have ever encountered (despite apparently showering every day).
2. Shut-in 4channer who would go weeks without saying a word to me. Went days without changing out of her pajamas. Had boy/friends from out of town spend the night in our room without giving me any notice. Would TV/computer in our room hours after I went to bed despite having access to a private common room we shared with only two other girls. Never cleaned.
3. (friend) Best roommate I ever had but anal as hell and hated that I stayed up past 10:00 pm sometimes. Closer friend (and former roommate of #5) asked to room with her the next semester before I had the chance to.
4. Histrionic cokehead actress fresh out of an expensive prep school. Refused to purchase her own dishes and cookware, which I wouldn't have much of a problem with if she ever cleaned mine after using them. Never Stopped Talking (to herself).
5. (friend) Did not clean. Talked to her mother very loudly for hours every night. Snored so loudly that I Could Not Sleep for an entire semester. Did not tell me about the snoring when asking to be roomies. Told her to get that shit checked out because a size 2, non-smoking girl of 21 should not snore like that. Did not do so until the year was over (and I was right). Overall not too bad.

No.265430
Most of my experiences with roommates were of the "we happen to sleep in the same room" variety. I was never on bad terms with anyone and never had an argument, but we also never hung out.

I did have a small issue with my roommate last spring staying up late every night and keeping me up, but I didn't bother him about it because I was pretty sure he was scrambling to pull some really bad grades up.

My freshman roommate had the most hickish facebook profile I had ever seen, proclaiming her love for things like "country boys" and "muddin'". She also types like a maniac: "heeeeyyyy just wonderin wat ur doin gir i talk to u laaaateeeerrrz <3" so I was very apprehensive, to say the least. Little did I know she would be such a terrific bro and force for corruption and debauchery in my life - I was right about her being a big redneck, though.

In all seriousness, living with her and becoming great friends really taught me about judging people straight off based on their so-called social category.

My roommate:
- Held an 3 guy 3 girl orgy in our house over Thanksgiving break.
- Got back together with a bi guy a total of FOUR times. Each time they broke up, it was with him saying he never loved her. However, whenever he wanted sex or someone to listen to his bullshit, she would take him back.
- Got kicked out of two universities and left Berkely School of Music because she "didn't have the group of friends" there.
- Could not pay for food in our house, but whenever she had money she would come home with $200 dresses. She would then do the "oh, I'm so SILLY, aren't I?" thing.
- Her friends (a pack of 7 musical theatre students) would eat my food in the house, and stay over literally every night during the week. As we were the closest house to their school (a [drama]private theatre academy[/drama]), our house was the stomping grounds.
- Got pregnant (by the bi guy), aborted it, said she didn't to get her friends' sympathy, then made up a bullshit story about the doctors "finding a heartbeat" when they went to abort it, and her altruism kicked in. She got fired from her job and kicked out of school because she basically stayed home for four weeks after finding out about the pregnancy. She did not move from the house.

Just one truly great horror story:

For about three weeks when I was a freshman, I had a roommate I didn't know because my best friend (not the one I hate, the one in Alabama who is still awesome) was too airheaded to turn in the "roommate request form" in on time. So I got this girl who, at first blush, seemed very nice. Bubbly and a bit of a party girl, but nice, you know?

And then, like, a week later, I come home from class and she's sitting on her bed just BAWWWWWWW'ing. Why?

Because some dude she met THE NIGHT BEFORE hadn't texted her back.

After that, I was convinced she was going to axe-murder me. Lucky for me, she joined a sorority and moved out, so Awesome BFF moved in with me. And Awesome BFF is the most amazing roommate ever.

Reading some of these roommate horror stories, I'm really glad I lucked out with the best roommates ever when I first went to college, and had them three years in a row. We had to split up this year because we couldn't all snag rooms in the same apartment suite (but we're in the same building!), but one of them -- a perpetually tired vidya geek who knows how to fix anything in the world -- will be with me.

I met my new roommates yesterday though. One's a guy from California who seems like a pretty nice fellow, big sports guy, just very much a change from what I'm used to. He's actively looking for a girl, and will always point out to us when he notices a hot girl. It seems pretty pointless to go "oh, look at that hot chick" unless you're gonna go over there and talk to her or something. I hope this doesn't become too annoying of a habit.

The other roommate I don't know much at all about. He's from South Korea and is really hard to understand.

But there are general reasons to not do those things outside of socializing:
>I dress in the same clothes because it's comfortable and I shouldn't have to care what I look because I'm at home.
Buildup of dirt and sweat over days can lead to clogging of pores, which at best makes acne and at worst could cause some sort of infection. Even if you shower, it still builds up on the clothes. Build up of smells might force socializing with someone calls the police about the smell.

>I just like to let trash pile up before I clean it.. ; _ ;
Can cause infestation and potential for mold growth, leading to illness. Which can force socializing because you'll have to buy meds/see a doc.

If you want to change the socializing thing, if you have a laptop find some place nearby that is public and has wifi. Find a little corner to hide in and use the internet there. You won't have to talk to anyone, but it will make you more comfortable around people over time, which can lead to some better things.

No.267446

Oh, I'm not a complete shut-in. I can sort of socialize! I meet up with friends and hang out. I just tend to be quiet unless they're my really close friends. The acne thing is true, and I must have an immune system of a god because I hardly get sick from the way I live.

I liked my roomies, and I still talk to a couple of them, and I miss our apartment. I hated the school, and had a lot of shit going on in my life towards when I left the school, which caused me to basically lock myself in my room and only come out to shower or eat.

One of the guys was a compulsive shit-talker and gaia-fag, though. He was also 25 (4 years older than me, and 7 years older than my other two roomies) and kind of a jerk.

My roommates are the best and I'm pretty sure we're all gonna be BFFs for life.

My first year, I lived on a floor with I think 7 other girls. There was one more, but she was kinda weird and flaky and halfway through one of the semesters, she pretty much disappeared to live in her friend's dorm so whatever. The rest of us got along really well, though and I'm living in an apartment with of them now. It's pretty much awesome. They're all really nice and think it's funny/interesting when I act particularly geeky and stuff and no one leaves horrible messes or anything.

Fuck yeah, I'm dealing with it. I don't know what I did to receive such godly roommate luck (especially compared to some of the stories I've heard both here and elsewhere) but I'd do it a million times over for every person who's ever had a bad roommate so they can get awesome roomies too.
