Since we're all probably bunked up by now, post your housemate woes! Mine:

I've got a nice sized dorm all to myself. I do, however, share a bathroom with two guys.

Mother****er.

When they brush their teeth, they spit into the sink like any sane man. However, they don't rinse the walls of the sink, leaving a thick white or gel crust. I know it's the both of them, as it's gel AND paste. If I didn't scrub the walls of the sink before I used it every morning (with a sponge), it'd start to look like afreaking calcite mine.

The floor of the shower is always coated in the previous user's (minus me) soap scum. They take absolutely NO time to even RINSE the shower. They just leave an inch of thick slime that bubbles up when I turn on the water.

Do tell me: Why is it that, in order to smell good, and still retain your masculinity, one must smell like a bull moose. Musk is the scent of my bathroom. Always. ALWAYS.

The one of my suitemates who doesn't have the use of his legs (Uses a walker-like device) has this annoying indian friend who looks like he's 13 that always pops his head into my room without knocking. I was sleeping in late yesterday morning and THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES, this annoying little brat's face pops into my room via the bathroom door to simply stare at me until I open my eyes so he can say hi, or tell me he's using the bathroom (that locks). I told him the last time: "Dude, you DON'T need to come stare at me while I'm sleeping every time you use the john. Stop being creepy." He thought I was kidding.

We never see the other suitemate, but the gimp and the indian always seem to find their way into my room to discuss "getting *****es" and "having so many parties." The second thing they EVER said to me was "How do the girls look here?" They're both ugly, shallow, immature, 13 year old looking muskpots. It wouldn't matter what the girls looked like, they'd still be the same. It's as if seeing my prom picture of my pretty girlfriend immediatly makes me a god in their eyes. What a shame: They've got such a vengeful god!

I can't stand all of the penis men here at university. It's inhumanly obvious that a majority of the guys have agendas, and the majority of the women are either clueless and thus suseptable, or in the EXACT same mindset.

GRAH! Stop humping!

naughty-picturize their computers when parents visit?

I was quite lucky at uni for roommates. I only had one and he was really clean. The other lads on my corridor were manky though: one of them pissed in every sink (bar one) on the corridor.

I've got a room to myself at Uni, although there's a shared bathroom/shower along the hallway. I just hope everyone treats it with a tiny bit of respect I'm currently living alone with my (older) brother while my parents are away on holiday, and some of the messes he's left lying around is disgusting. I just don't understand it.

ahhh..... The joys of being able to live at home while you're in college.

Well, kirby, as far as roommates go you could have it much worse. Much, much worse.

Google "Martin Random Roommate"

long story short: nobody respects a cripple.

Have you... talked... to them about it?

Heh, I cracked up at "penis men".

I try to avoid room mates.

My room mate last year, although not the cleanest of fellows was cool.

My room mate this year is better.

My room mates were both high school buddies.

My room mates roxor my soxors.

The end.

I'm going to say something to them today.

For all it's troubles, dorm life rocks. There's a lot more fun to be had, for one. But I also think it's a great environment for studying---allows me to keep weird hours and to read without my mom calling me to do some chore. I miss my 8 year old brother, but it's also easier to get work done with my roommate than it is with a little brother running around my room, "forcing" me to play Super Smash Brothers with him.

Ha.

Ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha.

You think you've got it bad?

You don't have a roommate who's a mopey/angry drunk who makes people not want to come over because he has a tendency to lecture people like they're children if he thinks they've done something bad or might do something bad.

I've never had any roommate trouble, but a friend of mine had her roommate move out without warning on Friday (they are both freshmen, and school just started about three weeks ago). Her former roommate now lives next door, and both will be getting new roommates at random. You'd think that she would have at least had the courtesy to argue a few times before leaving.

I wonder if having a roommate is at all like having a cell-mate?

yep, uni is 9/10ths rape.

MIDGET SMASH! *BAM*

Wear slippers in the shower

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


No.

I had all of three actual roomates totalling two semesters while I was in college. After that, I had my own room with shared bathrooms/ kitchen/ common space. Made things pretty good. I had my own bathroom last year, which rocked because I didn't have to deal with one else using it or making a mess of it.

I have a room to myself. I love it. My roommate took naps at like 3pm so I had to be careful not to wake hum up. Plus if he had earlier classes than me his alarm clock would wake me up.

If you're asleep at 3 in the afternoon: **** you. I'm not going to go out of my way to wake you up, but I'm NOT going to pretend to care.

Read it. Is that true or made-up? It sounds kind of bogus to me.

Am I the only one who read the thread as "Roommate Whores"?

Yes.

He claims it's true (see the original thread, I think you can access that without a forums account), but then again he's also the one that posted this so you should probably take it with a grain of salt.

I don't think I have to talk about my crazy roommate from last year, but I feel your pain JediKirby. I'm so glad this year I was able to get a single room and pick good suitemates...

That's very friendly of you.

They're probably next door like "God. Don't you hate that dick next door? He's so anal about the stupidest ****."

Lighten up man, not everyone has the same values, or has to accomidate you.

So essentially you have a room to yourself and you share a bathroom with two other guys. You really can't complain. I have one roommate, as in we share one rather small room. Then, there's about 35 guys on this floor, sharing two bathrooms. I think I have a little more to complain about.

I love my roomie!

That's a joy?


Pretty much my thoughts on the matter.

Good god I can't wait to get a place out of the dominion of my parents.

Waa. My first year I shared a double-sized room with two roommates and shared a bathroom with 30 guys. My second year I was on an all male floor. I shared one bathroom with 40 guys.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]That's a joy?[/QUOTE]
Yes. It is. And none of you know ANYTHING about my family/parents/etc. I live here, for free, completely left alone, in my OWN room, free food, quiet when I want it, can go anywhere I damn well please, and all I have to do is a few occasional chores. I'm essentially living out my own life seperate from everyone elses until I can afford to get out of the house.

I HEAVILY prefer this to a dorm life.

And up from dorms is the shared apartment. THAT I'd do. Because that way I still get my own room, share a bathroom with maybe one other person, and live with at the most 4 people. That's the ONLY way I'd ever life on campus. I can't stand the thought of dorms. I'm too damn picky and value my personal space and items too much.

Uh...one, you get your own room with some dorms (hell, UAH dorms, even a "backwater college" as Emon so eloquently put it has separate rooms for every dormie), two I get that at home too, but still.. three you get to be free.

Not just "oh, I get to do whatever I want and still live here!" but free. Good god the freedom your own place has entails all kinds of things.

Finally, you don't have to go "Let's go back to my parents' place" when you meet a girl.

If you haven't lived in a dorm, you're not really in any kind of position to knock it. And no, having friends who live in the dorms, or hanging out there doesn't put you in any position tosay anything about dorm living. It's an experience everyone should have, even if they do go on to have better living arranagements and experiences.

Hell I plan on living in dorms during at least my Freshman year just because I've done it for short periods of time and...well it's an awesome experience. Forced to bunk with a lot of people you don't know really makes you get to know people. Last time I did it it was only for like, 2 weeks, but after that everyone who were in the dorms (it was for a school trip, actually) became really good friends, even years later.

Good times.

Goddamn. Remind me to never be your roommate.

"The toilet seat must be DOWN. IT MUST BE DOWN DO YOU HEAR ME!! You see this bar of soap? It must be angled at 45 degrees from the hot water valve. GET IT RIGHT!"

Hm...where to begin. I have two housemates. While one is awesome, the other is....ugh. Seriously, it is like I am a single mom. She does *nothing* and always whines about things not being done. Although I will repeatedly remind her, she'll never clean, never do chores, ect. She'll spill things and leave them on our once new, hardwood floors...actually I'll stop there with those complaints. Let's just say she's an extremely mess person and I'm surprised her room is not infested with cockroaches. She's also hates anyone I bring over (and I do mean she'll absoluetly loathe them and is not quiet about it.) She's also bulimic and suicidal. It seriously is a horrible feeling to have to be on suicide watch for your roommate. Believe me...everyone in her world, including me, has tried to talk to her about her habits. Nothing sinks in. It may be mean to say, but luckily, she'll be going to rehab in a few weeks for her bulimia. I could go on, but eh. I don't have the energy...

And to top everything in this mini-rant off...she hates my cats. Seriously...how could you hate this:

I sure as heck couldn't!

Thanks to the wonders of my school's residential college system, I get a good-sized dorm room all to myself this year.
