Ok, so I live on campus in a suite with 3 other people. We had a lot of problems with one guy last semester who did not know how to be in his room without screaming at the top of his lungs 24/7. There were many other things I could list, but it would take too long.

He got a lot better since then, and was very quite all of this month. However, today, I started to smell this burning stench coming into my room. It definitely was not food. I come out of my room and starting asking: "What in world is that smell??!" My roommate immediately came out of his room and said:


"Oh...man, I'm sorry...can you smell that?......(he goes back into room and brings back a burnt piece of plastic)....I was buring this."



WTF??!! Then he starts spraying surface lysol everywhere..."Dude, don't do that, it will make it worse!" My other roommate told him that he was poisoning us.

I swear, this tops off everything he has ever done, and trust me, that is saying A LOT. The smell/smoke fumigated into the hallways and all of our rooms, and I had to get the :Censor: out of there. I don't even want to know what he was doing, but I can make a good guess.





What are your crazy past (or present) experiences with roommates?

For some reason my roommate does not wake up when his alarm goes off in the morning. Almost every single day at 7:30 his alarm will go off, and will continue going off for an extended period of time (I think 20 minutes was the max before I got pissed and rolled out of bed to tell him to turn his :Censor: alarm off). Something else that's unusual; if his phone goes off, he wakes up immediately for it...

When I rented the room at the farm out once before, me and that dood were always getting into stuff. Usually from consuming too much rum. We would end up shoot stuff up. Burning stuff up, or blowing stuff up.

When I rented from the Lesbian in Round Rock, she wasnt home very much so it was normally pretty chill there.

The next place I lived that dood was usually in his room by the time I came home. So we never really hung out.
One nite SpiderMonkey was over and I dont guess he knew she was there. She came walking out of the bathroom around 2am and he was coming to tell me something and I hear:
Alex: "Hey, Pinion. Dood, check this"
SHL: "Hi."
Alex: "Wow. Uh.. you're not Pinion"
SHL: "Nope. but here in a second we're gonna be so close we'll appear as one"
Alex: "Ima just go back to room now. Tell Pinion I'll text him. Tomorrow at some point"
SHL: "ok. If we get to loud, sorry."
Alex: "I'll put on headphones"

The next day Alex tells me: "I thought you were coming out of the bathroom and then there was this little SHL standing there. I thought I was tripping or something. Who was that?"

Where I live now, my hours keep me from seeing the people I rent from too often. On weekends I see them some.

I know it's funny to hear them fighting about stuff though. It's usually because the dood will run something by his wife and get her opinion. Then he'll come ask me what I think. She gets mad about that. So normally if I hear them talking I'll say whatever she said even if I think it's wrong. She feeds me. lol

'Rah! I've been a busy man, that goes without saying. But things have slowed down...for now atleast. I got promoted today, picked up the cross rifles finally and experienced my first real "pinning." I got holes all in my upper chest, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be bruised tomorrow morning when I wake up. But somehow it was fun and I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'm too excited about picking up Corporal and getting "blood striped"

saxman, odd/annoying roomates is just part of life man lol. I've had all sorts of interesting people. Some I got along great with, others I want to kill(such as my new Super Boot that just moved into my barracks room). My very first roomate ever, my first semester of college, was a 34 year old man..no lie. He dropped out of college when he was 20, but decided he wanted to come back 14 years down the road. He didn't have much money, so he lived in the dorms. Having a 34 year old roommate had it's advantages for an 18 year old college kid, butttttt really only one. Needless to say, he was EVERYONE's friend for that "of age" reason. He was a really nice guy, very strange though. I learned how to sleep through pretty much ANYTHING, as he LOVED to have the TV on full blast as he passed out every night. I'll always remember my first roomie, Rocky.

You can learn a lot from the people you'll live with the next few years. You'll learn about yourself, and about types of people you may have never really associated with. As much as it may suck to have a crappy roommate, just do the best you can in the situation. If something is really bothering you that he does, let him know. Just remember you may think you're the best roomie ever, but he may have problems with something you do that you don't even notice. You don't want tensions to flare too high and end up brawling over something potentially pretty stupid(even though I do want to stab my new roommate every day) He used to set an alarm 1 hour before I have to wake up, and continuously puts it on snooze and lets it go off every 3 minutes for the next hour.) I seriously almost killed him last Friday, but he seems to have learned now.

College roommate for only one semester decided to get a tan before going to the coast for spring break. Soooo, out comes a sun lamp and he proceeds to fall alseep on his back. I come back from a science lab class and wake him up. He was trying for an all over tan from his chest to his knees. We call the school nurse who is about 60 comes to the dorm room and laughs while shaking her head and takes care of him.

my roommate wakes up in the middle of the night and starts talking jibberish. thing is, he has no idea hes doing it. hes still in a deep sleep, but his eyes are open and he's walking around, but asking the most ridiculous questions and saying things that make absolutely no sense. its pretty funny

When you ran around my media room while Kevin was screaming and I had to tackle you.

Or at Kevin's when you started banging on his window and everyone started screaming.

Or at Kevin's when you dragged Kevin into the corner.

Oh trust me, we tell him. I'm probably the most easy going roommate and I'm very clean. I have always approached him with in a friendly manner when I need to, but my other roommate is the exact opposite of me. He is a wrestler, and I'm always afraid that the living room is going to turn into the "Octagon" with them two. He does have the right to be angry about the things that he has done in the past, though.



Here's a list of things I can think of at the top of my head:


-He takes a dump on the toilet with the bathroom door open
-He pisses all over the seat (thankfully I'm not the one sharing it with him)

-He used to piss in the sink before we had a 4th roommate, and it would somehow get all over the mirror, too.

The other guy tried cleaning it without realizing what it was....:eek:
-He constantly talks to himself (really loud!)
-He screams randomly
-He gets extremely excited and vocal when watching dating shows
-I sometimes find him starring at me with a creepy grin on his face
-He makes a lot of noise at night (the walls echo like crazy)

He slams the microwave
Sings to himself
Crumbles up food wrappings (these all wake us up at night)
-And of course, he topped everything off by BURNING PLASTIC tonight :mad:

Thankfully, I don't have to share that bathroom with him. I would've been out of there within the first month of school if I did. It's ridiculous when you look at his side and my side...it's night and day.

i had the goofiest rm and the 2 other suites mates and i went overboard proving it for 2 years. he had skipped every morning class for most of the semester, so he could play cards every night til who knows when. we took the middle rows of springs from his bed, and doused his pillow with sneezing powder. when he hit the sheets, his butt drooped thru, and he started sneezing and cussing the suitemates, but he was too goofy/tired to do anything about it.

we made a bulletin board acclaiming the idiocracratic behavior of various personalities and news items, and named it after him, and he embraced it.

we threw darts every evening and i let him win until we threw for the phone bill when i'd beat him soundly. he never figured it out.

when one of the suitemates wanted doughnuts at bedtime, the rm could always be talked into heading to dunkin d's. he also loved him some breakfast jacks. btw, he drove a big a$$ caddy. hilarious.

I shared an apartment with three other people my sophomore year (they were all about to graduate). I remember the first thing I saw on the wall when I moved in was a Periodic Table of Mixology. They liked to make beer can pyramids on the coffee table and leave empty liquor bottles out on the counter for show.

I also remember one of the guys called on a Saturday morning saying he was in South Carolina, and didn't know how he got there.

I never had any crazy experiences with roommates....but I've only had 1. I've been living alone since I was like 21. I prefer to live alone.

The only crazy thing that happened is when my roommates dog chewed up her dildo and I came home to little blue pieces of it all over the living room floor. lol I think I mentioned this already.

The weirdest experience I had was when I went to sleep one night and my roommate and her boyfriend came into the room around 2:00 am and had went straight to having sex. I just put my headphones on and went back to sleep with my back turned - it was Jester Center in the 70's after all and that sort of stuff happened all over. Then when I woke up, he was sitting there butt naked (except for white tube socks) reading the Daily Texan and drinking coffee. I said "good morning" and got dressed and went to class. Good thing I liked the guy!;)

I once caught my roommate and grade-school friend naked in our dorm with a fire extinguisher, some scuba gear, a (naked) Cuban guy, and like fifteen or so condoms full of redi-wip.

He said, "It's not what you think."

I left without a word, spent two nights with some other friends, came back in time to see him pack and never saw him again.

My freshman year of college, I had a potluck roommate. Everything started out okay and she was fine, but then she started her frat of the week binge. She would go to a frat house each week and literally scope a guy to go home with. She would then proceed to get plastered and call me at 3 or 4 in the morning to come pick her up. One time, I came to get her (I felt like being nice that day) and she came out of this guys room half clothed and told me she was staying the night. I was livid. There was another time that she got drunk at the Sigma Chi house and put a "big fat dip in" as one of the guys told me. Not only that, but she was really messy, and always left her teeth whitening strips on the floor. I stepped on one once and almost threw up. She also would sit on the webcam and talk to her dog. FOR HOURS.

There's way more, but I don't have time to type it all. She moved down the hall after 3 months. Thank the Lord God above.
