I'll start. My roommate (the one I share a bathroom with) is a sick r****d. I mean, I am amazed at the way he carries himself. But he went to an all time low tonight. I'll explain in a bit. Here is what he does or has done in the the past that frustrates me or amazes me. Some of these may be a bit graphic, but admit it, you want to read on. He smoked weed in the past inside the apartment. And I can't stand the smell of it. I start gagging when that smell is strong. And this was when we did not share a bathroom....and yet the smell still penetrated strongly into my room. Fortunately for the both of us, he quit. He brushes his teeth in the shower, but I sometimes see food specs on the bathtub floor and I have to rinse the tub out. He is a UT student and doesn't watch UT football. (That doesn't really frustrate me, but I consider any UT male who doesn't have any passion for UT football a little strange.) He leaves magazines right in the middle of the bathroom floor after he gets through using it. I always have to move them. He is a psycho and throws up a lot I think. I see odd looking discolorations around the toilet lid and it looks like dried puke. He doesn't clean that crap up. Unbelieveable Doesn't mind leaving an occasional toilet roll on the floor. Usually leaves a dirty brown crusty sock on the bathroom floor. Will leave an anti-depressant pill laying around at times. Ever been in his room? The air in there has an extremely foul smell to it. I couldn't survive long term in there. I have seen him leave empty bowls that ,at once, had food in them upside down on his carpet in his room. He ate noodles everyday for the last two years. Claimed he was poor, but he always had enough $ for weed. He gets free pizza and has been able to consume 14-18 large pizzas in I would say a 6 month period alone. I'd be sick of pizza long term after about 6. He has never ask me if I wanted a free pizza for myself. Selfish b*stard. After taking a shower after him I determine that he sheds more hair than my dog. I rinse the tub out. Our tub once had little bugs coming out of one corner, Sometimes he placed the brushing end of of his toothbrush in this corner right where these bugs navigate. Lately he has been using my comb, leaving long strands of hair on it, a huge no-no. Now I don't leave it out anymore. Dates one of the most unattractive girls I have ever seen. Ok, that was rude, but it amazes me that he could go for that. She deals with him. And finally, the one that caps it all off.......he somehow left some feces smudge on the bathroom floor. Didn't bother to clean it up. I then made him clean it up and he did a horrible job. They is still specs lying around. If you have any of these traits, well maybe except the pizza one, you need to look in the mirror. But I started this thread to know if you guys had sick roommates and perhaps wanted to share their disgusting habits. I ain't gonna lie, I'd like to read them.
Well at least it wasn't his "short hairs"... You should count your blessings, boy. Man I laughed out loud for over one minute upon reading this. A "feces smudge"?!!!?!!? How does this happen??!! Truly foul. I can only imagine the conversation when you asked him to clean it up!!! Some of my roomate stories from college include one of my roomates peeing in the shower, and SHE didn't bother to tell me or clean it up, but rather another one of my roomies later told me. I b****ed her out about that one to the point she cried incessantly. Same roomie left nacho cheese in a croc pot in the kitchen for over a month. Fruit flies made a home out of it. Same roomie wet herself during her sleep one night after getting way too drunk the night before. Resulted in a large puddle of urine on her carpet. Same roomie got wasted one friday night and passed out on the couch. The next day I watched college football in the same room, and for a couple of hours she would lean over the couch and puke in a trash can she had handy every 15 minutes or so. Women......
Now how did your friend know she was urinating in the shower. Was your friend, uuhh, spying/using the shower at the time? Oh, and, uuhh, can I have her number?
Yeah, it wasn't his "short hairs" left in the bathtub, But I looked outside the bathtub and along the floor sides of the bathroom, only to see a collection of short hairs just sitting there. Keep in mind about a month ago I did a hair cleaning of the entire bathroom (not the bathtub) out but yet this quantity of hair comes back to be this evident so soon?? Dude is hairy. I call it a "pube" cleaning.
I think your neighbor might be the long-lost brother of my old roomate. My roommate and her boyfriend constantly fought, I'm not talking about arguing, I'm talking throwing punches, kicking, etc. I lived in her house, so I put up with listening to them all the time. And she was 6-2 so I figured she could defend herself and she was so b****y sometimes that I thought if I was a man I'd fight her too, but that's besides the point. I can't even recall how many holes were in the walls. To limit the amount of broken glass that was on the floor from throwing drinking glasses, I started buying those blue plastic cups. That worked for about a week until they must have remembered that they had glass plates in the the cabinet, so they decided to start throwing those. Then of course there was the "make-up" period after the fighting. That included the loudest, most porno-like language and sounds you could possibly imagine, from their bedroom, living room, car-port (which was right outside my window), and I found some suspicious "stains" on the dinning room table. I put a pad-lock on my door so they wouldn't "make-up" in my room. I stayed for 1 month and then left. I can look back now and laugh, a little, about the situation. I was only 17 at the time, but I still can't believe I lived there for a month.
Oh sure, when HE does it you laugh. Nice post JB. If the search function was up, I could dig you up a nice thread.
Nomar, I laughed hard at all your rantings as well. Had I just got drunk with you before you posted your complaints, I would've expressed my pleasure at your misfortunes.
That is some nasty **** JBII...... Please get out of that environment ASAP!!!!! Get your own pad and things become more bearable.... JC!!!
Good advice Drewdog, JBII, if you can afford it get out of there as soon as you can. Find another roomate that is more considerate or just live by yourself. I have gone trough many roomate problems, granted none as bad as yours, and have found living alone is by far the best way to go even if you live in a crummy cheap apartment.
I misunderstood and thought you were refering to his amount hair in the tub, not the comb. But my misunderstanding made me think of another disgusting thing about my roommate, which was stated in my previous post in this thread. I may have more down the road. Drew, best case scenario is just two months left with this piece of white trash. But I could be doing an internship in Austin this summer, which would be three more months with him. we'll see.
I once had a roommate who watched p*rn all day while I was gone at work. p*rn's all fine and dandy (if that's your thing, I guess), but... well, always screen your potential roommates for their p*rn tastes. Shouldn't have to, but... They're out there.
I have more. For some reason, he placed a plastic bag in his sink, and placed all his medical stuff in the sink rather than using a medicine cabinet. I always am the one the emptys the trash can in the bathroom. If it gets full he will just place trash on the floor next to the full trash can. I think he watches p*rn a lot because I occasionally hear female grunting, then I will hear his door open 10 minutes later and he will wash his hands. Hmmmm?? For a two week period, he just left his dirty clothes in the living room. Last year, I had to take him to the emergency room because he complained of a sick stomach ache.
I hate how I have to constantly b**** at 3 of the 4 people other than myself living in our house. You would think that adults would have learned how to clean up after themselves but that isn't the case here. If I can avoid it, I will never have roommates again.
How would this screening go? You: "Okay, Jim, I'm going to show you some pictures. You indicate your various states of arousal by holding up your hand and showing any number of 0 to 5 fingers...5 being the most aroused and 0 being no arousal." "Okay, number one is a naked girl sitting down. 2, okay good." "Number 2 is a woman masturbating. 3 fingers, very good." "Alright, number 3 is a MAN masturbating. 0, excellent. This is going very well." "Number 4 is a picture of a man having straight intercourse with a woman. 4, good job." "Now, number 5 is a woman doing naughty things with a car jack. 3, huh? Well, I guess that is cool." "Okay, now they will get a little different. Number 6 is a picture of a woman with a horse. 4 fingers? Are you sure? Okayyy." "This picture is of dog having sex with badger. Threee...I'll just jot that little tidbit down here." "Okay, now don't think me strange for showing you this, but the last picture is of a midget having sex with a pony while jumping out of an airborne plane. Oh yeah, and his head is on fire. So, how many fingers, Jim?" "Jim?" "Jim, where is your hand? Oh no, Jim....no....you have to leave."
My fatherly advice to you then I will shut up: Get an efficiency at an apartment/duplex in Hyde Park for $500/month.
