Swimming, Showering, same thing.

Freshman year of college, they overbooked the dorms, so I decided to rent a room in a three-bedroom apartment. I went up early with my parents to check it out and one of my new roommates met us to show us the place. We met her as she was carrying her bike up three flights of stairs. When we reached the apartment door my mom made a comment about how she must be excited to be home and be able to take a shower since she was sweaty from riding her bike all day. She said, "No I'm ok. I jumped in the pool yesterday." I ended up living there but thank goodness we didn't have to share a bedroom or a bathroom!

Battle of the Bowl

I had a strange roommate who was taking wood shop or some kind of wood working class at the college we went to. She was constantly coming home with things she made, and filling our already crammed and cluttered apartment with her homework assignments. One day me and another girl were cleaning the apartment and decided to organize the desk in the living room that had gotten out of control. We cleared it off, putting various papers and belongings away, including a large and ugly bowl, which we stuck on top of the fridge. The next day, I woke up to find the ugly bowl back out on the desk. I laughed and told the other roommate, who then grabbed the bowl and hid it in the hall closet under some blankets. Next morning THE BOWL WAS BACK ON THE DESK! This time, less amused and a little more creeped out, my roommate took the bowl and hid it again. The next morning I didn't wake up to the bowl on the desk, but a rather, a rude note taped to the bathroom mirror addressed to ME! Saying that "everything was fine before I got there and blah blah blah give me my bowl back." Annoyed, I ripped up the letter and sprinkled it all over her bed. She came home, and my roommate confessed that she was the one hiding her bowl. No apologies were given, we just continued avoiding each other from that point on.

Inspector Gadget

In my experience with roommates, one stands out as a bit more odd than others. She wore the same uniform everyday: light khaki pants with a black Tshirt tucked in, black belt and a black floor length trench coat. She always had her pockets full of things and trinkets hanging off of her belt loops. She looked like a female inspector gadget. I always thought she must have had to wake up an hour earlier to get all her 'getup' on everyday. She never wanted to shower and smelled so strongly of B.O. that it actually was brought up very awkwardly in our 'roommate meetings' on more than one occasion. Her and I never really tried to have a relationship, I think we both knew it was pointless. She was in a medieval club and I was well, not the type to ever be in a medieval club. We had nothing in common, but we would nod our heads or smile politely in passing never really having any conversations.

Players gonna Play


My roommate and I found out that we were hanging out with the same guy; while he was kissing me and talking crap about her, he was also kissing her and talking crap about me. We ditched that guy and egged his car.

Suds

One time, I came home to a blanket of soap suds covering the kitchen floor and spilling out onto the carpet of the living room! Turns out, my roommate had used dish soap in the dishwasher instead of dishwasher soap! Apparently, it makes a HUGE difference.

Copy Cat

My roommate would get dressed from clothes in my closet daily, without asking or anything. When I would say something, she would just tell me how much she liked it. She would work out and be active in my clothes, and they would get all sweaty and gross. I asked her to stop and after that, when I had something she liked, she would just buy the exact same thing.
