19 Roommate Horror Stories That Will Make You Want to Live Alone

My first semester in college I had a roommate who was a spoiled brat. She didn’t know how to use a washing machine. She had so much shit that my stuff was just this little blob of blue in a sea of pink. She was always cold so kept the temperature up really high. She would always bring guys back to the dorm room and I’d have to hang out in the common room. I finally got fed up with that. She brought a guy back and tried getting up to something. She kept giving me looks and I just ignored her. He finally left and she was like, “Why didn’t you leave!?!” I told her to f*ck off because it was my room too. Though, she once left a guy in our dorm to go run off and do something. He was pretty cool and we watched a football game together.

Freshman year of college I got stuck with a smelly, anti-social dude who would call his mom on the landline (this was on the cusp of the cellphone explosion) in our room and complain about his classes and professors in the whiniest tone for about 2 hours every single night. He never once hung out with us despite our encouragement and by the 2nd month in we stopped talking completely.

He would have sex with his girlfriend and leave his door opened it was nasty. I asked him to stop and he laughed and thought it was funny.
