People Share Their Worst Roommate Stories
Living with roommates can be one of the best (or worst) experiences of your life. You never know what kind of person you’re going to end up with unless you choose to live with friends, which is also not always a good idea.
Can you imagine waking up to someone watching you sleep? Or eating all of your food and denying it? Scroll down to hear the worst roommate stories ever!
He Used To Be A Nice Guy
My old roommate stole money for “utilities,” stole money from other roommates, went on benders, disappeared in his room for days, reappeared, and complained about the house which he hadn’t cleaned.
Before the addiction, he built a fountain in the backyard and shared pizza with us and taught us how to roll cigarettes from a special blend. He was awesome.

Peeing Everywhere
As a freshman in college, I had a very lazy roommate. That in itself is ok most of the time. The problem for me was that our room was as far as possible from a bathroom. The first pee incident was rather innocent.
I woke up to the sound of running water. Did he leave our sink on? I wondered. But no. He was at our door, peeing into the hall. When I yelled at him to stop, he looked at me and said, “but it’s a urinal”.
It was not, but the alcohol he been consuming all night convinced him it was. The next time, however, he knew what he was doing. I woke up (different night) to hear the sound of pee hitting the trash bag.
I yelled, “what the hell are you doing?”, he turned. Without stopping his stream. I later learned that he regularly kept a water bottle in his lofted bed to pee in and peed in our sink occasionally, which I brushed my teeth and washed my face in nightly.
So Uncomfortable
My university only had single rooms, so I didn’t need to deal directly with a roommate, but the guy who lived next to me would bring home his girlfriend almost on a nightly basis, and they’d be really loud.
Squeaking of a bed or something I could deal with, but I could hear every word, detail, moan, grunt, etc. It was really inconsiderate to both myself and the person on his other side when we were being woken up at 3 in the morning because they couldn’t quiet down a little bit.
Getting Hew Own Engagement Ring
My cousin’s first roommate when she went to college was…interesting. She bought an engagement ring and then asked my cousin to hide it somewhere in the apartment.
Then, when the roommate’s boyfriend wanted to propose, my cousin would give him the ring, so that she would get the ting she wanted and still be surprised when he proposed. She was single.
