jumppilot01 0 #1 April 1, 2002 Hey everyone,I have two roommates, one who is a skydiver and who is pretty cool, and another one who is a complete tool (not because he doesen't skydive, he is just a tool). He constantly bitches, hangs out with no one but his girlfriend, and is only our friend when she is not around...So, the point of my post...Anyone have any bad roommate stories????Finally the wx is better!!! Made 4 jumps this weekend..!Peace!-Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schroeder 0 #3 April 1, 2002 Naw, no bad ones, just bad memories of what a wreck that place was... man.. two lazy guys living together is a dangerous mix.I just remember the night we both had girls over, and I was in my room doin my thing, he was in his, and I went out to get something to drink. I get out to the fridge, hear his door open and close, he comes walking in, wait for a sec, grabs some soymilk in a glass (both vegan), looks at me leaning against the counter, without saying a word, we both have a sip of our glasses, high-five, and walk to our respective rooms. Man, good-times.....Another time, I was walking to the skytrain for work in the morning, and he was on the night-shift, and was walking home, and we pass eachother on the street, both half-asleep, just walk past eachother, low-five and a nod, and keep walking, was like tag-team work, he tagged me in, I tagged him out. shit, I miss those days."If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?"

indyz 1 #4 April 1, 2002 I'm in a dorm, so I don't even get to pick my roommates. One of them moved out at the beginning of the semester, and that was good. It feels mean to say this, but the dude smelled. I could tell if he had been in the room in the last half hour as soon as I walked through the door.My other roommate, who sill lives here, doesn't smell but he has some really annoying habits. He plays the same 4 MP3s over and over. I can't stand Treetop Flyer anymore, and if he is going to insist on singing along with it he should at least get the words and timing right. He is also a slob. See the attached picture. My desk is on the left. The bedpost with the clothes hanging off of it is his, along with everything in the righthand picture. If you can't make it out, that's no less than a half dozen pop cans, various food wrappers, dirty laundry and god knows what else. It has also recently started spilling over into what I thought had been established as my area. Our personalities don't match as well as roommates should, but I can't blame him for that. I can, however, blame him for drinking my Dr. Pepper, drinking my beer (did I say beer? I live in a dorm, so of course I don't have beer...), staying up all night and keeping me awake, leaving the door unlocked, leaving the windows and occasionally the screens open (we live on the first floor), never cleaing up after himself, and taking over the spare bed for what appears to be a combination garbage dump and hamper.--Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChromeBoy 0 #5 April 1, 2002 I lived with a female who owned a two bedroom condo a couple of years ago in Atlanta. We got along pretty good and yes we did get drunk one night and...She was going out of town and she wanted someone to stay at the condo to take care of her cat. I didn't get along with the cat very well. She told me this girl would be coming over Saturday and would stay for a week. I'm thinking cool, right? Saturday comes and I am in my room and I hear her let herself in. I go out and introduce myself and she looks DAMN fine. She tells me that she is going out and if I minded if a couple of her friends crashed that night because they had to go to the Falcons Football game early the next morning. I say sure.I come in late and go straight to bed, alone. The next morning I wake up and go to get something to eat in the kitchen. Turn on the TV and I can hear them getting ready in my roomates room. About ten minutes later they walk out in Atlanta Falcon Cheerleader outfits. I had three Falcons cheerleaders in my house! They invited me to bring some friends to the tailgate party and meet up with them. I called a couple of friends and they were like, yeah right. They go with me anyways and we partied our asses off with them. The following week was pretty cool. We got to know each other and went on a few dates afterwords. My roomate eventually came home and said, "did you like my surprise for you?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beeron 0 #6 April 1, 2002 Damn Chromie.....that's a great story! I was expecting an "April Fools" punchline though! :)My room mate story isn't anywhere that good. :( The year after I got outta college, I moved up to Denver and one of my best friends during college moved up about a year later. I offered to let him stay at my place while he was getting settled. Turns out that during that year apart...he had turned into a hardcore alcoholic. He'd wake up around 10 or 11 and go to the liqor store to pick up a 6 pack and a bottle of whiskey and seriously stayed drunk and high ALL the time. Never really bothered to look for a job or anything. This went on for a few months, and after a few drunken outrages on his part, I just had to kick his ass out. It took two or three years before we could even talk again. Fortunately, he got his shit together, got a good job, got married and has a kid now. It's kinda suprising to see such an incredible turnaround."My eyes are dry and my hands are cleanand I can't believe all the things I've seen" -- Blind Melon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schroeder 0 #7 April 1, 2002 oh wait, musta blocked this other story outta my mind.Lived with a girl for 6 months, fell in love, she left, she came back, I moved away for work, she followed me 1000km north, we lived with eachother, she left again, then she wanted to move back in with me, and I thought about it for a while, then said, nope, and moved back here to vancouver. Left her 1000km north of here.... don't talk to her that often anymore... sad story really.Miss her like hell. And it's not getting any easier.But distractions help. It's like a wound you don't get help for, just hoping it goes away. Well at least it's not infected.Any pointers, anyone?"If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?"

bbarnhouse 0 #8 April 1, 2002 My sister and I lived in a house together along with one of our childhood friends. One night after having retired to our respective rooms I hear all of these "noises" coming from our friend's room. It was loud enough to awaken my sister who came into my room to ask if I knew what the hell was going on? We both laughed at the question!The next morning my sis and I were in the kitchen and out strolls our childhood friend and...........another woman! OMG! Neither of us had any idea that our closest friend was gay. Wasn't the ideal way to have learned about it either.Another roomate was quite a large gal and took to wearing loose mumu type dresses. One evening, we were having a dinner party and out strolls this gal in one of her dresses. It was a sheer cotton that you could see through and..........she had NO undergarments of any kind on. Interesting party eh?It only takes a little pixie dust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the night, she threw this huge fit--telling me I didn't hang around her or our friends and that I was a drunken slut (because I was dancing with my brothers friends --not anything that was out of control). The fight got taken to the parking lot where (in front of my whole family) she screamed out everything I do wrong in my life according to her (the one who is SOOOO happy). At that point, I had to be held back because she crossed the line. MY whole family was there and she screamed out some very personal things--at that point I told her that either she goes or I go. She went. I think I see her once every 6 months now, and that is about all I can do. The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

I was in Ottawa, going to Carleton University.We were going to do the "5 guys in a house thing" but three of them dropped out. So there was 'two guys in a house". Me, and Chris. Chris at the time was a 24 year old English student who really wanted to be a film student. He didn't shower, didn't go to school, didn't socialise, and really didn't do much of anything. At last check (now 28) Chris worked as a "purv filter" for one of the online dating sites. Before he got fired. He still wants to go to film school.Because the other rooomates dropped out of the deal, we needed new ones.The first one we got, I'll call "Lug". I actually don't remember his real name. He played hockey - not profesionally, but that's all he did. Lug also hit his girlfriend and punched holes in walls. He left when we had him arrested.Then there was his girlfriend. She moved in shortly after him. I'll call her "Toots". Again, I don't remember her real name. She was a dental hygenist, dumb as a post, and didn't have the confidence to stand up to Lug. She got beat up a lot. She stayed a bit after he left, but could afford the $300/month rent she was paying, so she left too.There was Frederico. He was spanish. He was cool, but never there. He was hanging out with the other spaniards at school.Lastly, there was Crystal. Crystal was a babe. Reasonably intelligent, and a babe. Did I mention she was a babe? She got pregnant, then dropped out and moved to Vancouver.The only light side to that year was that I had the KILLER basement pad. It was more then three times the size of any other room, had it's own fireplace, it's own living room "area",wood panneled walls, was truely a swinging pad._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Lindsey 0 #25 April 2, 2002 Jeez!

I especially love the smiley facephoto's to cman's credit -- he got a perfectly candid morning shot, complete with my sleeping arse on the bean bag (redacted by smiley to protect the innocent!).Quoteand the Papa John's Pizza box (I usually have one or two laying around all the time.). Nice bachelor pad dude. *hats off* (u got me beat lol)where's waldo fans will find a TON of other bachelorish clues (cereal, bottled water, snowboard, turntables/mixer, guitars, blacklights, computer stuff, etc.) yah, it's a great pic!steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jabeln79 0 #20 April 2, 2002 I used to live with a friend and his girlfriend in a 3 bedroom apartment. They fought non stop even more than they drank. THey would come home at 4am yelling and screaming. I dont know how many times the police were called on them. I moved out even though it was my name on the lease. We arent friends anylonger and havent seen them since i moved out a year ago.

AggieDave 6 #22 April 2, 2002 You know, its reasons like that why I'm living by myself this coming year. The past 4 years have been in the dorms (had to because of the Corps) and I've got some great buddies, but I want to have privacy for once. "Homer Simpson, smiling politely."

Skyrose7 0 #23 April 2, 2002 I say never move in with a friend... I lived with this girl who always threw drunken fits of her sob story of a life (as she saw it-she had issues). I told her she could come to my brother's wedding, but I told her since I was in the wedding, I couldn't pay much attention to her. At the end of the night, she threw this huge fit--telling me I didn't hang around her or our friends and that I was a drunken slut (because I was dancing with my brothers friends --not anything that was out of control). The fight got taken to the parking lot where (in front of my whole family) she screamed out everything I do wrong in my life according to her (the one who is SOOOO happy). At that point, I had to be held back because she crossed the line. MY whole family was there and she screamed out some very personal things--at that point I told her that either she goes or I go. She went. I think I see her once every 6 months now, and that is about all I can do. The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

AndyMan 7 #24 April 2, 2002 I spent one rather miserable year in the following scenario. I was in Ottawa, going to Carleton University.We were going to do the "5 guys in a house thing" but three of them dropped out. So there was 'two guys in a house". Me, and Chris. Chris at the time was a 24 year old English student who really wanted to be a film student. He didn't shower, didn't go to school, didn't socialise, and really didn't do much of anything. At last check (now 28) Chris worked as a "purv filter" for one of the online dating sites. Before he got fired. He still wants to go to film school.Because the other rooomates dropped out of the deal, we needed new ones.The first one we got, I'll call "Lug". I actually don't remember his real name. He played hockey - not profesionally, but that's all he did. Lug also hit his girlfriend and punched holes in walls. He left when we had him arrested.Then there was his girlfriend. She moved in shortly after him. I'll call her "Toots". Again, I don't remember her real name. She was a dental hygenist, dumb as a post, and didn't have the confidence to stand up to Lug. She got beat up a lot. She stayed a bit after he left, but could afford the $300/month rent she was paying, so she left too.There was Frederico. He was spanish. He was cool, but never there. He was hanging out with the other spaniards at school.Lastly, there was Crystal. Crystal was a babe. Reasonably intelligent, and a babe. Did I mention she was a babe? She got pregnant, then dropped out and moved to Vancouver.The only light side to that year was that I had the KILLER basement pad. It was more then three times the size of any other room, had it's own fireplace, it's own living room "area",wood panneled walls, was truely a swinging pad._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
