Roommates or neighbors from HELL!

[slow groove]

A long time buddy recently discovered his ex-roommate is responsible for anonymously mailing his "girlfriend" information on his philandering ways.

He'd apparently been sporadically feeding her information in the form of a letter placed either on her car, in her mailbox, or nestled in the crease of her door detailing his duplicity (ironic, huh?), and even provided a photo of him and another woman in one instance to help seal the lingering doubts deal.

For her part, the girlfriend simply gathered all the information received, kept quiet, and did her own investigation work for confirmation before nailing my boy's balls to the wall.

Alas, they are no longer. The traitor was revealed when he failed to close a file (on a shared computer of a mutual friend) containing the information. All the while he continued sharing the residence, partied, and even occasionally double-dated with my man as if nothing was amiss.

Reason: Jealously. In hindsight, my friend recalled to me a statement his roomie said to him over a year ago. Something in the vain of "'You're too busy whoring around to treat that girl the way she deserves to be treated."'

Said in what he thought was a bullshitting manner, my bud never gave the statement any further thought until the shit hit the fan.

Ouch! Funny stuff, though. In the end, the playa got played.

Roomate freshman year of college was from India.

Left rotting Indian food in my fridge for weeks, but he still ate it so I couldn't throw it out. Our entire freakin' dorm floor reeked because of it.

Downloaded and whacked off to porn on my computer multiple times, when he thought I was asleep.

Never quite grasped the concept of compromise, either.

He got caught cheating, using his sister's old paper from a few years ago, but only switched her name with his leaving the date the same. Complete moron. Tried to cite me as a character reference, but I respectfully declined. His friends were the worst too.

I still love Indian people though, Dev.

Actually it's funny as hell watching the after effects of a playa having been played.

Suddenly the brazen arrogance (which was so over-the-top to the point of being caricaturist, yet amazingly funny) departs. What's left is a doubting, begging, confidence-shaken, in-denial shell of a man that is barely recognizable.

It's amusing to watch someone involuntarily morph into something they would otherwise despise in someone else. But it's sad, also. Although everyone needs to be occasionally knocked down a peg, I silently find myself yearning for the old personality, however overbearing at times, to return.

Don't hate the playa

My roomate my freshman year was in a frat and a swim team member.

He would stay all night drinking (which was fine as usually barely beat him back to the room), get up at 6am for swimming practice, then come back about 7am and set his alarm for 8:00 to get up for class.

The problem is he would never get up and hit snooze over and over. Each time waking me up. I didn't mind on days I had early classes because I had to get up about that time anyway but on Tue-Th I didn't.

We had to have a 'talk'...eventually he did quit setting the alarm but continued to blow off classes. He wound up on academic probabtion and lost his place on the swim team too.

My roomates my sophomore and junior years were PIGs but also my best friends so I just tolerated them. For two years, I never ate a meal in the house without first washing the dish as the place was crawling with cockroaches.

I had a female roomate about 10 years ago in a condo I owned. She started having her boyfriend sleep over. I didn't mind at first as I thought it was just on occaision...but I then learned from the guy who was supposed to be HIS roomate that the guy had moved out...and now LIVED WITH ME. I wasn't around much since I slept at my girlfriends house a lot. I had no idea.

So, the guy was freeloading off me and his girlfriend. She was there without a formal lease since she was a friend so I told her she had to move out with him before the month end. Some people have a lot of fucking nerve.

I was assigned a Korean roommate one semester. He filled our refrigerator with kimchi - that absolutely disgusting hot cabbage shit - and put it on EVERYTHING he hate, from breakfast to a midnight snack.

The worst part is that he drank Red Dog, and it make my refrigerator feel shame.

All he did was set up his laptop on the couch and coffee table and run a cable to my TV so he could play Starcraft and eat his shitty kimchi and ramen noodle stanky mixture. This was at least an 18 hour ritual.

His command of the Engrish rangurage was spectacular.

"Uh, um, eh, Ste-fan? Do, uh, rue, eh, ranna pray eh, uh, the Starcraft?"

My answer was always the same. "No. Can I watch baseball on MY TV?"

The only good thing about him was that he brought by all the fly Korean chicks. They dug him. I thought a lot of them were hot until I realized that they probably eat a shitload of kimchi, too.

Fucking Koreans...

You wouldn't believe this girl I lived with for one semester junior year while my usual roommate was in France. Being the nice person I am, I said it was OK for her to live with me the one semester. I get invited to a frat party and asked her to go along so she could get out and meet people. About an hour after we got there, I realized she was gone. Someone said she "went upstairs" with one of the guys. I'm a bit worried, but she came back down with the guy not too long after that and seemed OK. We got back to the dorms and some guy friends of mine who invited us to hang in their room for a while. She runs into a guy she knew from high school and goes to hang out with him. A little later, one of my guy friends comes in laughing and says that she just went into the mens bathroom wrapped in a sheet and drunk off her butt. I finally go to bed up in my loft. Wake up the next morning and see some sort of form on the floor. She was passed out in the middle of the floor naked under a sheet with some guy I'd never seen before. I got out of bed as quietly as I could, went to another friend's room and waited there until breakfast.

To get out of the dorms, I decided to move in with a friend from grade school. We got along great when we were kids, so I thought we would still get along.

My bed was in the living room of our 1 bedroom apartment. We were watching MASH on TV late one night when I noticed that he was exposed and stroking himself. I told him "put that thing away and get the fuck away from me".

I had to stay because I signed a 1-year lease. I've never met anybody who liked to argue as much as he did. Luckily, we were evicted just before Christmas break because the landlord thought I was dealing drugs.

The landlord was a complete bitch. She came into our apartment while we were gone all of the time to look for drugs. After I was evicted, she came into the Shoneys I was working in. I took great pleasure spitting in her iced tea.

Stories like these is why I avoid roomates.

Living with my brother was more than enough for me.

No roomates for moi either. I never liked the idea of coming home to find someone sitting around on my furniture or cooking my groceries.

So the French are sluts? No news there.


The real question is this:

Can I have her number?

[Lippa]

I had a roommate who would sit around all day picking his nose. He'd take it out, look at it, then either eat it or wipe it on the furniture. It was gross.

I had a roommate the year after I graduated; she decided to stop taking her bi-polar meds after a few months.

Haven't had a roommate since.
