    Oh man, my old roomate used to do that same thing with wet clothes. This happened frequently since she did laundry every day. Put them in the dryer, they will be done drying by the time your clothes are done in the washer.

    I had one roommate freshman year who every time he drank, he would just get absolutely smashed and he had a habit of puking in my Laundry basket...That was fun! Other great qualities of roommates past include:

    Eating and drinking of my food and soda right in front of me.

    Snatching of pizza or taco bell the moment i set it down after I got home with it because they thought I was done with it.

    Using all of my toilet paper and then being pissed at me because I didn't buy more.

    Insisting that leaving the stereo on with high-volume hip-hop playing is "They only way I can sleep!"

    Habitual early morning sinus clearing...gross..

    Trimming of pubs and leaving said pubs on the bathroom floor (Surprise I'm the first to mention that)

    Having phone sex in my chair because it's the comfy chair.

    Using my computer to browse for porn.

    Setting said porn as my desktop.

    Using my photo printer to print said porn.

    Using my chair and computer to admire said porn (You get the idea)

    Bitching that we are out of Kleenex! :eek:

    Wanting to borrow my car because they were to drunk to drive there's.

    Going to sam's club, buying the largest thing of powdered coffee creamer they can find, just so they can do the creamer trick and set it on fire...IN THE KITCHEN!!!

    "All my dishes are dirty foo! I'm using yours!!!"

    And yet after a year off putting up with this, they proceeded to call campus security on me after a bad night where I was pissed and lit up a cigarette in what was technically a student house. They did not want anyone smoking in the house because that's nasty and bad!

    Yea, it's not that hard! I would never just leave someones wet clothes out when there is an empty machine right next to me that can DRY them, haha. Some people only care about themselves...

    Old memories here.... but I had many-o-room mates when I was in college & out of college.

    When you're sleeping (in dorm room), your room mate decides to have sex in the bed that's not even 6 feet away from where you're sleeping. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, that's probably about the worst.

    When I lived in various apartments with people....room mates never cleaned anything. The 'dishes' left in the sink used to piss me off. That is, until I'd take the dirty dishes and put them in their room and sometimes on their bed. ;)

    I have a roommate now that does not shower very often and not help clean our dorm room, I had a previous roommate that like to smoke pot in his dorm room because it helped him focus (he could litterly count the number of brain cells he had using his fingers), we confronted him multiple times about it, I had another roommate that liked to eat all of my food

    I had this same problem when in college...a room-mate that would always come home drunk, and eat everything he could get his hands on...never cared it wasn't his. So one night before he got home...my other room-mate and I got everything nasty/old we could find in the fridge/pantry and poured it into a big baking dish (old milk, crushed up stale crackers, etc), mixed it all up nice and good and baked it a 350 for 20 minutes or so...looked like some brownies or something one of our Mom's may have dropped for us. We even cut it into pieces, took some out threw them away so it looked like we'd been eating them. Sure enough he came home wasted, grabbed him a big glass of milk and a few pieces of this sh*t bake we made, went and sat in front of the TV and ate all of them.

    Had a guy and his girl friend stay at my place for some time years ago. Between him spitting chew in beer bottles and leaving them on the coffee table to get mixed up with the beer bottles people were drinking out of and her erecting a giant snow penis with balls the size of a Volkswagon in the back yard for the old lady neighbor to enjoy it got interesting to say the least.

    My room mate was not bad actually. But there were some things.

    My bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan so I would wait until everybody had left in order to crap. It never failed, mid crap or right after, He would come home with girls and yell about how bad it smelled right in front of the girls.

    He and his friends would yell explitives at the TV at 2AM when they would lose their halo match

    Depressing songs and general blues playlist would be blared once a month for about 3 hours when I was trying to sleep, think, game, or talk.

    "Drew! stop downloading porn! you're causing the game to lag!" would be yelled everytime I logged into facebook or checked my mail. Meanwhile there were girls in the house that didn't know any better and believed him.

    The lock on the bathroom door didn't work and he'd always open the bathroom during moments of privacy, not only for me, but guests and females.

    After the age of 21, there was no room for food in the freezer or fridge due to the quantity of alcohol.

    He would forget to pay the trash bill every other month, so we'd lose trash service for a couple weeks at a time

    The house was almost always a mess. His parents owned the house and let him live there free while I and another room mate payed reduced rent. One day, All three of us got an email from his parents stating that we need to clean up or else we're out. I cleaned my room, polished the bathroom, organized my cabinets and mowed. The house still looked the same. My mess was about 2 percent of the total mess. A few months later, Me and the other paying room mate got a letter stating that we need to move out. We moved out and the house was still a mess.

    I'd still live there again though. Overall it was a blast.

    I had a room-mate (again years ago, in a dorm) that would push snooze on his alarm clock for well over an hour. I'd yell at him "either turn that f*cking thing off or get your fat, lazy ass up for good". He'd just kind of laugh and keep hitting snooze and going back to sleep.

    Relatives make worse room mates!! Expectations are high(er). Well, my cousins girlfriend would stayover and would eat a shitload of food and never replenish anything in the cubbards or fridge. She'd chew the antenna on my then new cordless phone. She was a nympho as she'd walk around buck nekkid..... the point is she was visually challenging to look at as she was a heffer. Clothes would be all over the place and I got fed up and moved out. Live and learn I guess.

    Leaving dirty dishes sitting in the sink so i have to wash them. Having to share a bathroom with a room mate that never cleans it when he makes a mess. Not warning me that he will have his girlfriend over and fuck on the couch when i come home early from work (most akward moment of my life). Inviting bros over for a party but they never bring girls. Playing Xbox loud late at night when im trying to sleep. Leaving half eaten food on the table.

    I did this when I lived in a house with 5 people. I would clean the kitchen, run the dishwasher and put everything away only to find a sinkful of dirty dishes 2 hours later because they brought them all down from their room. One night I came home to plates being thrown at me and my roomate screaming at me because I took all of his dirty dishes back to his bedroom. He broke a handfull of plates against the wall and on the floor throwing them. We still laugh about that to this day. That arguement actually ended him apologizing to me and lol he actually gave me a hug which was weird.

    I lived in a house with 4 other guys last year and this is wat was annoying:
    1) Dishes pile in sink until no more clean dishes left (1 week), then wash dishes
    2) New burn mark every day on carpet from hookah
    3) Ppl coming in and out of the house at all hours of night
    4) Dinner and plates left in living room after they finish
    5) leaving 'things' around out in the open that can get us all arrested
    too many to name

    I've had a lot of roommates. Some good. Some bad.

    I'll skip over the dishes/TV too loud/parties/etc., since are the norm in Roommate Horror Stories.

    1.) A roommate in college was an Art major, and he left his clay project all over the kitchen table. It hardened there and we had to throw the whole damn thing away.

    2.) Same guy -- his room was so messy, you literally could not see floor. We ended up with cockroaches the size of birds.

    3.) I lived in the Mother-In-Law apartment in a house of 4 people. I had to be at work every morning at 8:00. One night, I hear this ruckus coming from right above my head so I go upstairs to check it out. One of the guys and one of the girls were SPAR FIGHTING in the kitchen to techno music at 1 am. They did it again the next night and I went up there and kicked their asses.

    4.) Same house -- we had a wind/snow storm that knocked out the power for 5 days. When it finally came back, one of the girls brought her whole family over to use the laundry machine, despite the fact that none of us had been able to for the entire week.

    5.) Not really a roommate thing -- but when I was in college we would have people come over at all hours of the night looking to buy coke. They guys across the street and in the apartment downstairs sold it, but it never failed that once or twice a month we'd get some strung-out hookers knocking on our door at 4am.
