A few months ago I had a roommate who would cook what I can only guess was cow feces in the microwave for breakfast and dinner. It was repugnant, I don't know how whatever he was making was edible. It would make the upstairs and ground floor smell, it was unbearable. He also insisted on telling me how I need to get a normal job (9 to 5) since I worked odd hours at the hospital. I moved out that same month I moved in.
Also for the longest time I thought my neighbor was strangling his grandma to death at night, only to discover it was my minifridge randomly making a weird gurgling noise.
Roomate/neighbor horror stories, do you have any?

My hall mates are not "bad", but it gets annoying when the place is full of Pakistani and Egyptians.
I don't mind smoking weed or if they smoke it at all, I just get ignored, nobody speaks English to me and I could easily get high from the smoke that seeps into my room. I feel like I am some foreigner.
I'll be incredibly pissed if they got caught. If they did get caught, me and 5 others will get fined as it is our room, I confronted them saying this that they best own up if they do get caught. Other than that, I don't mind.

I had a roommate who was unemployed and thus always home, didn't want to pay for cable but wanted to monopolize the TV even though I was only home and wanting to watch it maybe 2 nights a week, wanted to run the heater all night long because she didn't want to buy a bed and was sleeping on the floor and claimed a space heater dried out her skin too much, would talk about how the US was so terrible and Americans were stupid etc., and left behind debts when she returned to her home country (China) so I had debt collectors calling and sending notices for months.
I had another roommate who never cleaned the common areas. One day I heard her get the vacuum out and thought "eureka!" Ten minutes later she comes to me, all proud, and says she cleaned- her room. I wanted to punch her. One day I came home and as I came up the stairs (6th floor walk-up), I smelled smoke that got stronger and stronger. I found the hallway and kitchen coated in black grease. She had left a frying pan with oil on the burner, gone back to her room and forgotten about it, and apparently didn't notice the black, greasy smoke spilling out of the kitchen. It covered literally everything, including stuff inside the cupboards. The vent cover above the stove was melted to un-useability. The worst was, she was about to go away for a week and was just going to leave it. She claimed she tried to clean it but it wouldn't come off. While she stood there, I took a cloth and wiped it across the wall and the grease came up. So I made her help me clean it- otherwise, she wasn't going to lift a finger. Yeah, she was terrible. I asked her to leave not long after that.

I've only had 'roommates' during one period in my life, and swore I'd never do it again.
A co-worker friend of mine was living in a friend of hers' house, and there were extra bedrooms that he wasn't using. It just so happened that things in my life changed, and I needed somewhere else to live, so I moved in. Everyone got along, and there were really no disputes about anything. A couple of months later, she got engaged, and moved out. In moved her brother's soon-to-be wife, and her friend. Both of whom were totally high maintenance, and completely inconsiderate.
It wasn't much of a problem in general, as none of us actually spoke. The owner of the house worked second shift, and was usually gone when I got home, and the girls were too snooty to talk to me, so we were like ships passing in the night most of the time.
Except in the morning. There were three girls fighting over use of the ONE bathroom, as we all had to be at work at the same time. It was ridiculous. To make matters worse, the owner of the house would sometimes have to work first shift, and would jump in the bathroom, throwing off all of our schedules. He had some kind of skin ailment, and had to use medicated powder, which he always proceeded to spill all over the bathroom, and not clean up. That was a nice bit of icing on the crap cake.
Not to mention the typical b.s. of them eating my food, not cleaning up after themselves, playing their music too loud, etc., etc.
After a certain point, I'd had it. After that, I lived by myself all the way up until my husband moved in with me, right before we got married.

I now consider myself lucky that my college roommate was fascinated with the snooze feature on the alarm clock.

Never dug the whole roommate thing. I've always made enough money that I've been able to afford my own loft on my own. It helps that I know the owner, and that being a veteran gets me a special deal on my lease.

Lol this is a interesting thread...
growing up always had to share a bedroom with one of my brothers or both of them one curtain points.
never had my own room tell bout this year really.i always got stuck sleeping on the "couch/chair" in the "living room/extra room" people had to go through in order to take place in the bathroom,kitchen or go to there own room.
Now my neighbors are on the other side of me.and lats say i can hear them "Make love", i have my bed few feet away from the wall and can still feel the vibrations of them pounding it out.TRUE STORY.theyre too Freaking loud,play music unfriendly at anytime.they just are horribile people.so i play black metal or Native music when they are becoming unreasonable.specially cause i work most first **** and second shift hours.
im the old guy telling people to keep off his lawn, and pick their freaking trash up or im going to dump it into theyre yard

I had a roommate who I thought was a lesbian (she had a girlfriend at the time)...and then I found out she's actually bisexual after she kissed me on the couch after we watched TV together...I moved out of the apartment the next month. I almost agreed to have sex with her, but I just couldn't do that to her girlfriend (who didn't know about our "affair")...I mean, no matter what your sexuality is...Cheating is wrong

LOL, I can relate to that. I never used to use the snooze button until a college roommate introduced me to the idea of not springing out of bed at the first ring.Joy Divison wrote...

*snip*
I had 2 roommates back to back that both had a lot of furniture. I didn't have much, so this seemed a positive thing, but the 1st one was a certified hick. She liked sponge painting the walls in garish colors- a LOT- and in our living room was a shrine consisting of Coke cans decorated with lace ruffles. To this day, I have no idea what that was about. She moved out, and the next day I started moving in a new roommate who had antiques, a baby grand piano, real crystal, nice artwork (not prints but real art). It was quite a surreal change.

Yeah, I hate how foreigners who are from third world countries talk about how horrible the United States is lol...First of all, it doesn't make sense, since their own countries are so much more horrible. Second...I mean, a guest shouldn't complain about her host's house in front of the host. Like when you are in China, you shouldn't complain about China in front of a Chinese. That's...just rude.
Anyways, thanks for sharing, those are very interesting stories

She's...not a sl*t...It's not like that. We were very good friends actually, and I just wish she didn't do what she did...We woulda remained friends for years.

My hall mates would sing songs like "Dancing Queen" in the shower and would usually stare at you as they stripped down in the bathroom. They were all football players too. It felt like being in prison.
