[mochi <3]

reading all these roommate horror stories...makes me reflect on my own.

i think rooming with my best friend wasn't a good idea. how does that saying go? "you don't someone until you live with them"? or something like that....well yeah...unfortunately, i can't stand her anymore. ugh. I've tried to talk with her...but its like...she thinks she owns the place and can do whatever she wants. when i'm in the room...its like i don't exist. completely ignores me, always has her headphones on, talking to her bf 24/7. maybe the reason why she's always in a bad mood is because she sleeps so late everyday talking to her bf, and then has early classes. she's so selfish with her stuff too. like she doesn't like anyone touching her stuff especially her food, but when we have food she eats it. her bf eats my food too.

man so much more...oh yeah...she makes so much noise in the morning. i mean...is it really necessary to slam the drawers and slam the door shut when she leaves causing the full-length mirror to fall!! goshhh!!!

*pants*
all in all....i will NOT dorm with her next year...someone else can deal with her. i don't hate her or anything, its just that even when i tell her whats bugging me...she ignores it. but when its her...she she gets pissed. i hope i get a single next year...

[peachiez89]

so i have a question. im gonna be a freshman in college next year and im gonna dorm. cuz everyone's like "it'll about the campus life in ur first year." so i can pick my roommate right? should i already drag along someone i already know or what? HELP!

[baoi]

My roommates are getting better and better
or i am getting used to them.



Roommate A: She's still sloppy, but she's very sincere, and.... she's still dresses in HIGH CLASS clothes.. I just wish i got the dough for it.

Roommate B: Eh.. she helps me a lot. She is still very nice, sometimes still bossy. Getting used to her too

Roommate C: OMG. she's still the same. Scared of change. SHe's so funny sometimes.

Roommate D: i HATE HER! she doesn't eat, and i don't care. i somehow hope she dies. so i can get straight As.. haha.. she changed a lot, i hate her

[Susieque7242]

My roomies pretty good we're respectful of eachother always asking if one will be disturbed she wakes up early which is fine. We don't blast music, if we do listen to it, it's with headphones, she's really nice but poor girl studies all the time lol and on the weekend she goes home for work so it's even better for me! when she talks on the phone, she leaves the room the only bad part is she doesn't seem to like some of my friends and when they come into the room she ignores them =T

[erure]

One of my suitemates actually brought a puppy in her room and was keeping the puppy in her room. What was really bad was 1. she wasn't changing the newspapers every day so it started smelling really bad in her room (I felt so bad for her roommate) 2. she was very possessive of the dog - one time I pet her puppy and she glared at me like this

Anyway someone ended up telling the RA and she had to take the puppy to her friend's house

[suki_*]

Honestly for my first year at University i got really lucky because i scored the best residence on campus. it's basically a 4 room apartment so we each have our own single rooms and privacy when we need it

The selection was still random and i like how the coordinators provided us with e-mails to our future roomates so we can get to know each other online before meeting up so we can get more acquainted and more comfortable

well, turns out that even though we're all from totally different worlds (two are from a small town LOVES country music, farms, boooze... another one is from an environment that's almost the same as mine) so i roomed with 3 other people... it was really fun, it's amazing how the most different people can be the ones that you can actually learn more and find out that being friends was easier than you think! (this is advice for som3body_som3where)...

aside from our differences, we have alot of things in common that we can all relate to. such as cooking, school, relationships, life, goals and aspirations, and most importantly learning new cultures and traditions. I loved how we were all open-minded and ready to just accept new things with open minds and open arms unfortunately, we're on different co-op terms to rooming with each other wouldn't be possible but till this day we still meet up and keep in touch

we have a few bads too, but we couldn't do anything but just to accept who they are and that if things get too messy or anything, they'll give in and start cleaning it up or one of us will give in a start cleaning up! no one's perfect and we aren't either so i can't really get mad at other people's imperfections when i have alot myself

the second year for me just ended and i have to say living with 4 guys is the hardest thing in my life to EVER do. even though we're best friends, i can't stand how they are sooooo lazy. they all have wangja byung or something but telling them to do the simplest task is better of done by yourself. so i'm glad that halfway through the year my other friend moved in to stay with me and we got along wayyy better and it's good to have another girl at home aside from myself. We share food, expenses and even have the same classes together so i'm really glad to have met a friend like her

the guys on the other hand, throughout the year have gotten alot better. before christmas ended they surprised me with shabu shabu alll set up by themselves and without my help! WHICH IS A MIRACLE! because the last time i left one of them alone they almost set the whole kitchen on fire, nevermind all 4 in the kitchen and they thanked me for tolerating them and for teaching them that the kitchen is actually a very tough place to be in. The best part of that surprise dinner is that they served me everything and they cleaned up the whole kitchen.. dishes washed, floor mopped, stove wiped, table cleaned EVERYTHING!!! so that was one of the most memorable christmases i've had and very thankful that they did acknowledge my efforts to keep the house clean throughout the term

this september i'm going to be rooming with my friend again because we are in the same program and classes but we have 3 other roomates that we never met, so it's another adventure and i hope that it's going to be just as fun!!!

[happypiano]

hehe what a fun thread! xD

i live with my roommate in a 1 bedroom, 1 study apartment. i hate washing the dishes, so she gets upset at me for not doing them and says that she's too busy to do them. -.- i can be a little hot headed, so i've thrown the phone on the floor and yelled at her for being so FOB sometimes. she insulted me this one time... i don't think i'll ever forgive her for that. >=/ i'm very sensitive.

[FusionGT2]

My room is right next to the kitchen where my roommates happen to have put their comps there. Every night/morning I hear them talking all loud and I tell them to shut up but they still talk. Girls are the worst cuz my roommates gf lived with us also and she would talk on the phone 23/7 or something. And she would talk so loud it would make my ears bleed. Her convos usually sounded something like this... "OMG i cant believe he wore a BLUE SHIRT with those shoes...like omg..totally...who does that?!"

*chokes self to death*

[ysquaredd]

oh man...my roommate was GROSS. she was sooo dirty.
she was a nice girl and everything but i ended up hating her because of how gross she was. she did her laundry once every 2 months so all her gross clothes would just be climbing up the wall and she worked at a deli so her clothes would smell real bad too. and the really stupid thing is, her house is 10 minutes away from school so she had the luxury of doing her laundry at home.

gross stories:
1) one time, she came in late so she just changed clothes and went to bed. the next morning i woke up and was getting ready for class and i see her pants that she took off the night before and her freakn underwear was in there with it. the nasty part is, the INSIDE of the underwear was facing up so the whole world could see her skidmarks. nastyyyy

2) i was doing the weekly cleaning of our room one day and i was vacuuming when i see this white thing that i haven't seen before so i walk up to it. i have no idea what it is so i get down to the floor and low and behold it is my roommates used pad. it was soooooooooo nasty. i could see the blood kinda....ugh grosssss.


theres more stories but these are only ones i can remember.

[goyoungha]

^ This is why I'm glad I don't dorm with girls (I'm a guy). No offense to the girls here, but before freshman year I never realized that a LOT of college girls are complete slobs. Now I can't say that guys are any better, but you would never have expected it you know? I mean when I was little, I kinda expected the girl's bathrooms to be shiny and with golden toilets and everything.

[superbnchic]

i had two roommates and i loved one of them (im actually rooming with her again next year) and the other one.. i really.. disliked
her boyfriend was over EVERYDAY and im not even exaggerating. supposedly he went to ucr but .. i dont know how that worked because that's pretty far from my school
but.. it was ok during spring quarter because she withdrew and so she was never there
sigh. when i look back on fall and winter quarter i wonder how i tolerated with all of that

[klx13]

I only lived on campus in dorms freshmen year. I had 2 roommates and we were crammed in a "economy triple" (basically, smaller than a regular sized double). It SUCKED. 1 roommate was never there, she was cool. But the other roommate was... really damn annoying and horrible. She was fat and smelly and always had her boyfriend over (literally, everyday for a year!). But yea... never again.

Right now I live off campus in an apt I share with one of my friends (she graduated a while ago and is working full-time nearby). We each have our own bedrooms, located on completely opposite sides of the apartment so we have plenty of privacy. Most of the time, I'm not even there because I'm at my bf's place (he lives in a 1 bedroom by himself), so my roomie has her bf over a lot. I don't mind though~ we get along really well although we don't really see each other often, haha. <3 my roomie.

[glow*]

Parsons told me my roommate && her e-mail recently.
She's Korean but doesn't reply to e-mails && doesn't have a facebook.
I have a feeling she'll be an international student.

Bleh I wish they would tell me my suitemates, too!

[chunsa]

my first year of college i was in dorm with one other girl and she would always bring over people~ like 7 people in our small little space every single day~ they would watch videos and do dumb stuff till like midnight. all of these people lived on the same floor. it was really annoying! and i wasn't even in my room a lot either since i would be crashing with my friend... but everytime i came back they were there... like they never went out or anything! especially if i wanted to sleep they would still be there. and everytime her boyfriend came to visit she would ask me to leave the dorm~ so one time i came back with my friend and we caught her having sex~ puhahah. she had no "눈치" whatsoever.
i never want to share a room with anyone ever again. i need my own quiet personal space~

[theHONEYPIRATE]

DON'T roomate with a high school friend.

[YUNA!]

my roommate would CONSTANTLY shower at 1am, then leave the room to the lounge on our floor and then back again at 3something am.. luckily i graduated already. hah -___-"

[kimahnna]

Unfortunately, my experiences with my room mate was bad and ugly throughout the entire year. Actually, my entire household pretty much sucked even though the others weren't as annoying as she was (first years are forced to live in old townhouses).

To begin with, I applied for a multicultural house, but I ended up with a household of Asians (there were a total of six of us, including me). Four of them were international students (one from Hong Kong who was extremely spoiled and rich, while the other three are from China, who likes to keep to themselves and they love to sing all the time - I lived on the middle floor, too!). As for my room mate, she was more white-washed since she came to Canada when she was younger. I believe the reason why I ended up in a non-multicultural house was because the stupid office workers saw my last name and assumed that I am Caucasian (I do not have an Asian last name - none of which my family knows why since my dad's family history is unknown). So all I got to say is so much for sending in a picture of me (perhaps they thought I was mixed or whatever). Anyway, the four irritated me because they made the house completely disgusting since they wouldn't clean up after themselves until it was out of hand (the RA told us to clean up). After all, they cooked everyday for every meal (they didn't adjust to the food here). But in the end, two of them ended up moving out (thank goodness, despite the fact that those two were the only ones who cleaned when they were forced to).

Anyway, about my room mate, she was the complete opposite of me. For the past two years, I have been through depression (a lot better this year though) and I have always been more of a quiet person. Not to brag or anything, I am not the typical teenager (especially compared to the Asians here) in the sense that I don't spend much, nor do I care all about pride and socializing. Instead, I enjoy silence and if I am around people, I want to do something extremely fun and so forth. As for my room mate, she was loud, a flirt and it was about being perky (all about clothing, boys, yapping away on her cell phone, buying accessories and so forth).

During our first semester, residence was pretty good because her boyfriend (since high school) lived in the townhouse across the walkway. In other words, she was never home except to get her books or to shower (sometimes) since she practically lived there. But during the second semester, his parents forced him to live back home since he was living on residence when he was on the same city (that says a lot about a person). So rather than never seeing my room mate, she was always at residence. That doesn't mind me too much, but the worst part is that when she is back in the room, she is either: 1. Singing or blasting music as she "works" (also known as going on Facebook and going on messenger); 2. Flirting or making out with her boyfriend or sleeping with him when I am IN THE ROOM; 3. "Working" with her friends (which was mainly squealing and so forth). I was pretty iffy to the point that the RA was concerned and I actually had to tell my room mate off about her boyfriend issue. So she agreed to not let him come over that often, but within three days, she was back to her annoying old self again. It was to the point that I will go home only to find him sleeping in there, or I will take a shower and will have to come back to change by telling her to tell him to leave or if they are sleeping, I will have to shield myself behind a door. & yet, she doesn't change and my RA said she can't do much because she was afraid that that would make my connection with my room mate even worse.

There have been so many days and nights where I stopped living in my residence, so I went and lived on a sofa at my friends house. My parents were quite mad about her being so inconsiderate, but they couldn't do much either. So I had my own little ways of annoying her by going home late (she applied for a room mate who slept late, but her definition of sleeping late is whenever she wants, which is mainly before midnight!), in hope of distracting her sleep (obviously there were times when I was "accidentally" loud. She didn't do her share of cleaning, too, so I will keep on not doing them and she couldn't say much to me since I was practically living at my friend's residence, so in the end, she was forced to share the work. At the same time, I got back at her by not taking her phone calls. She was so retarded that she often forgot her keys or "lost" her keys, so she will call or text message me to go and save her (she was the dumb type who doesn't like to lock our door, but I lock in all the time). So I will just see her message or see her calling me, and I will just go, "Oh look, she's calling me," to my friends and not answer. That sounds really rude, but she was rude and disrespectful in the first place, and who in the world leaves their door unlocked when you are living on residence?

My neighbors were mostly international students from China, and they were insanely loud (you can eavesdrops on people, but I am not like that and I don't know Mandarin). But the girl next door to me did who knows what in her room, so there were days where there were girls screaming and barking their heads off with laughter, or a whole bunch of squeaking. So I got to the point where I blasted on my music and kicked at the wall to annoy them back. Speaking of music, my room mate and her boyfriend are such complete idiots that they didn't stop fooling around in bed one time. So I kept on turning up my music, but they kept on screaming and laughing, so it got to the point that I turned it all the way up so suddenly that one of them fell out of bed. Believe me, there were so many times when I just wanted to take something and throw it at them to just shut the hell up, but obviously I will get into trouble for that. There was a no shoes policy in the room, and she would still wear it, even though it was her idea. So if she wasn't home, I will stomp halfway into the room with my shoes or boots on (since her side was near the door) and take it off before I went to my side of the room. After all, I don't see why I should be so nice to her if she is not even going to make any effort of respecting my property (she will take my stuff and use it) or respecting my privacy.

I really should have done something at the end of the year that punished her, though having a mice in our room was close enough to it (we are near a forest, so there were a lot of animals). There were rats next door, but a baby mice lived in our house. That was quite a funny week because even though they are dirty (there was a small poop on my desk once), I am not scared of them (I think they are adorable). But my entire household was terrified, so I kept on warning them to clean up or more will appear. My room mate was so freaked out that she never kept anything on the floor and whatnot (imagine how she would have reacted if the mice ran across her foot, rather than on mines). That actually kept her coming from home so often, so I was quite happy about that =) Anyway, my friends sure had an awesome time talking about ways how I should freak my room mate out, but obviously, I didn't do them because even though I had my own ways of revenge, I am not going to do anything too insane or mean because that's not me.

I can't believe she is going to apply for a double room next year. I seriously do hope that she comes across a room mate who will teach her a lesson of how to be at least a decent room mate and not to be so selfish. && guess what? Her relationship ended this summer. Personally, I don't have anything too much against the guy because she mistreated him and told him to do everything for her (because I see enough to know enough). So until this day, I wished that they broke up much sooner. But at the same time, if they did, I have a feeling that I had to deal with my room mate even more.

[birthdaycakes]

I really like my roommate, but she aspires to live in a polar ice cap. It's so freaking cold in here all the time. I turn off the AC, she turns it right back on. I know I can just keep on putting more and more clothes on, but seriously....when you're wearing pants, a sweatshirt, and are under the covers of your bed and STILL COLD, that is a little ridiculous....

[Lebanese_Blonde]

lol so many of you are so picky! i'd be the roommate of your nightmare!
