a while ago one of my roommates was in a hobby of tape-recording his neighbors with long distance microphones... mixing them into "best of" cds and playing them back while looking at xeroxes of loose change he put on the scanner bed. he locked me out for 4 days one time and when i came back he had chopped up my bed and left it in a pile of rubble. and then he was really pissed when i had four friends help me move my stuff out the next day. he thought they were gonna beat him up. he was crazy. Cheers for having crazy roommates...
i just recently had to deal with the whole bad roommate thing. me, my partner, and my best friend all got a house together, and things were going great, except for the fact that she had 3 cats, and a dog, and she kept them all in her room almost 100% of the time. her room began to smell soooo god awful that the entire house smelled like shit. Then, a couple of months later, she started not paying her part of rent/bills, so we had to tell her either she needs to pay her part, or leave. Well that pissed her off, so she started leaving big messes for me to clean up (i was the house-husband type at the time), never cleaned out her cat boxes...it just got bad. So i went to houston for a week, and while i was gone, we finally got her to get out. She left cat shit COVERING her bedroom carpet, and all the trash she possibly could because she was mad she had to leave....it ruined our friendship, and we were like the BEST of friends.....i will NEVER live with another roommate again....NOT worth losing your friends over....
