<p>My roommate folded my towel the other day. That was awkward and I knew it was him because I never fold my towels while on towel rack- it doesn’t dry properly. He always puts the towel in the dead center too, so to drive him crazy, I moved them to the end. My roommate wakes up around 7AM, but thankfully I’m a sound sleeper and don’t hear anything. He does blow-dry his hair though, but he does it in the other bathroom so it wakes up our other roommates instead. Just thought I’d like to share that.</p>
<p>I know this is mean to say, and I’ll get struck by lightning, but I wish my roommate would drop out of college. He doesn’t deserve it. He’s nice, but nice has nothing to do with getting an education that is wanted by someone who couldn’t afford it.</p>

<p>^sorry about the double post.</p>
<p>It was my boyfriend’s roommate. Seemed he developed an issue with my sleeping over, which had been fine at first, but rather than actually talking to either of us he’d complain up and down the hall about it.
If he’d just talked to us, things would have been a lot simpler.</p>
<p>Mind if I ask JennyWren, how many times have you slept over the past month?</p>
<p>My roommates gf is practically over every weekend. I would wake up Saturday morning, and she would he in his bed. </p>
<p>Yea, communication is the key…don’t let it escalate like my incident (see my post).</p>
<p>I don’t understand what is so bad about someone else sleeping in your roomate’s bed. I understand if they are having sex, but sleeping?</p>
<p>Actually, I have “barged” in once.</p>
<p>my roommate is pretty damn weird. he’s a huge stoner, not like friendly stoner, like “member of the national anti-anti-marijauna law federation” stoner</p>
<p>so i had some friends in my room about a month ago and we were playing video games and one of my friends notices that theres this banana on top of our fridge thats really black and rotten. so i go to roommates room and i ask him about it and he says “oh what’s wrong…does it smell bad or something?” and im like “no but it’s just clearly gone bad” and then he says “well i got the banana a couple of weeks ago and i left it on top of the fridge and everyday i like to stare at it for a few minutes to see how it changes” so i just said “…ok”
after a couple of more weeks i got fed up so i went to breakfast and got a new banana and threw away the old one and put the new one in its place. my roommate comes into my room that afternoon and says “um dan…did you throw away my banana?” and i say “no man, i was staring at it too, why what happened?” and he says"i think someone threw away my banana and put a new one there" and i say “i can’t see how that would happen, i mean our room’s always locked…oh wait…what’s the temperature in the room?” he goes a checks and says 84 degrees
and i say “OOOH that explains it”
he says “explains what”
then i start BSing
“well bananas are brazil’s main export, and over there the average temperature in the 100’s because they’re very close to the equator. while in brazil, bananas are green in reaction to this temperature. once they come to texas, it’s a little cooler, around 80 degrees, so the bananas react by turning yellow. now when you brought the banana into the room where the average temperature is roughly 70 degrees most of the time, they turned black. but our other roommate must have gotten cold and turned up the thermostat and as a result the banana thought it was outside again and turned yellow.” my roommate sits there and thinks for a second and then says “yeah…i guess that makes sense”
…and i lost all faith in humanity</p>
<p>hahahaha that is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week.</p>
<p>haha this made me laugh soooo hard =p</p>
<p>No, no folks. My roommate is the one to fear. One day I was sitting in our room and she turns to me and says “Hey you know what would be fun? If you stole my credit card and bought a car. Then I could report the car as stolen, I’d get all the money back, and we could share the car.”</p>
<p>Despite my efforts to convince her that this was fraud, she continued to try and talk me into stealing her identity. </p>
<p>One day, my other roommate and I were on facebook, and we noticed that her picture looks absolutely nothing like her. When we brought this up, she immediately changed it. Also she doesn’t go by her real name and a few weeks ago she got her name changed. She frequently talks about crimes and how to get away with things.</p>
<p>And the best part is the day she told us this:</p>
<p>It’s only illegal if you get caught.</p>
<p>Needless to say, we’re a tad concerned…</p>
<p>thanks roomie</p>
<p>'i think you meant to say “Then I could report the CARD as stolen.” I happen to remember exactly what i said, thankyou very much. oh, and i threw the body into the river.</p>
<p>One of my roommates came out of the closet mid semester and then kicked me out multiple times so that he could “be” with other guys. I was umm more disturbed than ever. Anyhow, especially considering what “I’m like” I handled it very very well and was extremely respectful and kind et cetera. </p>
<p>Given: he always called if I was out and told me to spend the night elsewhere if he had “company” or just to not come back for a while. It seems awful but it really wasn’t sooo bad I mean I had friends to stay with or I would just be studying forever haha. It was the same as if he had a girl over. Anyhow, </p>
<p>Then one night…</p>
<p>I was coming home late from the library maybe 1:30 or so, and I noticed that my light was off…I figured “phew, he’s gone I can just go to sleep.” So I walk upstairs, open the door and I immediately freeze. On the counter I see two champagne glasses that are empty, the place smells of booze terribly, and the lights are off. I’m like ohhh noooo…then all of a sudden a naked roommate comes running from the bed that he’s on with his “friend” to the door going crazy and he shoves me out of the room (he’s not crazy because he’s ****ed, it’s because he’s amused actually). Anyhow, he slams the door in my face and I stood there for a little bit just shocked and awed. I walked over to my neighbor’s and evidently she knew he had his friend over!! I was like umm thanks for telling me, entire world. Then he came in fully dressed to her room and said ok you can come back in now…</p>
<p>Anyhow, it was a strange experience.</p>
<p>^ lol that makes me smile, thank you.</p>
<p>Best Wishes,

<p>My advice: consider that you may live a considerably different lifestyle in college than you did in high school! I was ridiculously shy in high school, so on my roommate survey, I indicated that I wanted my room to be basically as quiet and non-social as possible. What a mistake! I soon learned that the only way to meet people and get involved with things in my particular dorm, especially when you’re as shy as I am, is to leave the door open and see who (or what) happens to come by. My roommate is really great and we’ve had very few problems, but she isn’t really that social and prefers to keep the door shut, so I avoid studying in my room when she’s in it. Also, I stay up much later than I used to, of course, and I like having my room open to visitors- something she’s not so fond of. I just wish I would have know how much my social life was going to change!</p>
<p>Most of the time, my dorm is amazing and my roommate is wonderful, but it’s frustrating to try to break out of my shell around someone who is quite comfortable staying in hers. Oh well. At least she visits her sister every weekend, leaving me with the room to myself. I feel bad- actually going out on weekends is a huge triumph for me!- but it’s not my fault that she keeps to herself. </p>
<p>One story I did hear: a friend’s sister, in her freshman year, woke up to find her roommate having sex in the bed across the room. For God’s sake, at least wait unti your roommate is gone!!!</p>
