ANNOYING LONER-ANOTHER TRUE ROOMMATE STORYWritten by dan the roommate man
I had transfered to a new college, and I had one good semester with two good roommates. However, we were sick of living in a triple, so next semester we decided to get doubles. They knew each other longer and decided to room together. The only other guy I knew who didn't have a roommate was someone I'll refer to as Stink (his last name was actually a synonym for smelly). I did know his last roommate moved out after first semester, and he spent second semester alone in a room which smelled awful by end of year. I thought maybe I could prevent this if I stopped it early.... how wrong I was.In addition to being a slob, he was also an alcoholic (or at least aspiring to be). I started off by giving him fair warning that if he pukes on our carpet I would not clean it up and I reserved right to punch him in face. Unfortunately, this didn't come in handy. Anyways, one day I walk in room to see a large ball of toilet paper with a face drawn on it in marker, sitting on his bookshelf. Not even having to ask him, he says "I made him on toilet, his name is Wilson." Sad? It gets worse. A month later some friends and me take "Wilson" and throw him down steps and tear it up (it was revenge for him leaving ketchup packets on floor for people to step on). He enters room and immediately notices that "Wilson" is gone, and asks me about it. I told him truth and he shuffles himself to bathroom with his head down, only to come back 30 minutes later with an even bigger "Wilson". In addition to being wierd, he was completely oblivious to fact that someone else lived with him. He'd listen to music from his computer on his headphones, but it didn't make any difference with volume on it's highest (I could make out all lyrics). The stupidest moment was when he wouldn't let me turn off his music he was playing off his PS2 at 4:00am because it was "helping him write his paper", or so he put it. I don't think he went to bed until about 6:00am. So to get back at him, I woke up at 10:00am to go to breakfast with my friends. I opened all windows to let brisk winter air in, turned up my speakers and played an hour long comedy routine as I walked out door. I came back to hear him say, "Oh you left your speakers on when you left." and then "Do you know why it's cold in here?" (Keep in mind we live in a dorm room, window is in plain sight).
| | REAL STORY- A HOHO FRIEND FOR A ROOMMATEWritten by Dan the roommate man
Although this story is coming from perspective of a crazy roomate, it is something I still regret to this day. It all started when I moved in with my best friend at college. We were as different as night and day - I liked to drink and party alot, while he was more down for sitting on our couch and watching fucked up foreign movies. We knew things weren't going to work out when 3 days into living with each other he awoke to me pissing in his room. I can't really remember doing it, but he assures me that I did, and that after taking a piss in his room I assured him that my piss was just a little bit of hanky doodle. Sure, he laughed it off after a couple of days, but things just got worse between us.I'm going to go ahead and take full responsibility for being crazy asshole roommate in this relationship, but things got pushed over edge when I decided to pull a prank on him one night, even though pranks were pulled every other night. I had another friend of mine distract my roomate away from our apartment while me and another buddy set out into city in search of a homeless person. Of course I wanted to videotape whole experience, so we brought my camera. After about an hour of searching, we pulled into a place called Mike's Beer Barn, where a big black man approached us trying to sell us "Miami Crip", I politely declined his offer and instead told him that if he would agree to go along with this prank I'd buy him some "Natural Ice" (the good shit) and pay him $20 dollars. Now, this dude smelled and dressed like a hobo so he was perfect for part, plus he looked pretty crazy too. I thought this plan was going to be perfect. We took him back to my apartment where he ate all our mini pocket pizzas, bastard. We then told him to go lay down in my roomates bed until my roomate got back home. He suggested that he could really scare my roomate by pulling out his knife that he had been carrying on him. To this day, I don't know why I didn't stop prank there when he had told me that. Meanwhile, I had my buddy filming whole thing. He was in my roomate's closet so he could catch my roomate's reaction when he saw a homeless man sleeping in his bed. Well when my roomate came home, he opened door to his room, turned on his lights and to his suprise this huge black man jumped out of his bed and started to yell in his face "What fuck are you doing in my room?" All my roomate could do was laugh nervously, while I laughed my ass off in living room. This continued for a while, with hobo chewing out my roomate and frisking him for stuff that he claims was stolen from "his" room. At one point hobo told my friend to stop laughing, and you could see terror in his eyes. This hobo was unpredictable, and I was enjoying every moment of it. The best was when he told my roomate to leave his room through our circuit breaker. Soon after all this hobo confessed to my roomate that this was all a big prank and we all laughed it off, except my roomate who was still in shock. I know, I'm an asshole. I ended up driving bum back to where we found him, and he kept asking me for more money. I gave him my cell phone number and said call me if you ever want to earn more money like this for another prank - another bad idea. So I go back to my apartment where I see my roomate freaking out because he can't find "his" video camera (which was a $400 cannon camera) that was laying on his bed last time any of us had seen it. So this was when I had to call cops up and tell them that this hobo had stolen our camera and give them whole story of what I had done. They just looked at me like they didn't know whether to laugh or throw my ass in jail. I gave them videotape of us pulling off prank so they could see what this guy looked like.
