Wow looks like I am not the only one after all. I too had a flatmate from hell when I was an undergraduate student a few years ago. She was a narcissistic bully with a Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde personality with unpredictable mood swings you'd totally get scared off and she would always play the victim card to get what she wants even if it would mean being dishonest and unethical. She would only act nice when she wants something from me or want me to do something so that she won't have to get her hands dirty or crack her brain over something. She was also disrespectful towards my guests who would pop by my place for tea, dinner or for a visit. That is not all, she is a freeloader who took some of my food and my toilet paper also she is a slob who never washed the bedsheets (I provided for her) for 6 months or clean the room I rented to her until it got infested with lice!

Anyway, I am glad she is out of my life since late 2005 and I hope to God I would never cross paths with her in the future. Excellent blog by the way and maybe you should also include in your blog about a roommate from hell with a Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde personality and a touch of narcissism that drives some people mad. Pretty sure I am not the only one with someone like that.

My room mate was totally the "very best friend." She always had to know where I was 24/7 and when I started branching out and talking to other people, she would pout and write sad statuses on her facebook.

It's easy to point fingers at others and say how awful other people are.

Emm- I feel you! That sounds like my old roommate too. I’ve actually had 2 hideous roommates. I call the first one “PIG PEN NIGHTMARE SCREAMER 4AM DRUNK CRIER” She would trim her pubic hair and leave it all over the tub and all over my shower curtain! I had moldy mac and cheese that sat in the pan on the stove for weeks! She would also go in my room and go through my things when she knew I would be gone for the weekend, then would deny it when I asked her about it. I came back from one weekend trip and noticed my Rubix cube (that had been long buried in a box in my closet) was solved! I can’t do those things, which was why I had thrown it in that box to be buried in my closet forever. Apparently she found it. She also would bring home guys at 4 in the morning and host parties with really loud music. She would get drunk every weekend and then about two hours after she’d start drinking she would be sobbing loudly. It was really awkward. What was more awkward was when she would bring guys home and hook up with them. She was a screamer. The first night I woke up because it sounded like my roommate was being murdered. She was in fact having sex. It was a frightening experience for me and I had to start wearing headphones to drowned out the hideous sound.

The second one I would call “ANOREXIC SELFISH SCOREKEEPER.” She would constantly critique my other roommate and myself for eating too much, for being “overweight” even though we are athletes and are very fit individuals. She was just insanely thin. She would measure her cereal with a shot glass. (That was her bowl of cereal) and would make aggressive comments toward us when we would eat our cereal out of real bowls. Our apartment was a 3 bedroom and she went insane because her bedroom was a tiny bit smaller than the other two, but it was because her closet was a huge walk in closet. She was also the last roommate to move in and we hadn’t realized the room was a tiny bit smaller, so we were all settled in when she showed up and had a cow. She demanded that we take $100 off her monthly rent and add $50 to each of ours. We thought this was ridiculous and said no, so she proceeded to make our lives miserable. I had provided all the furniture to the apartment and my other roommate had everything for the apartment listed in her name. She proceeded to tell us that none of that “counted” and that she should get a bigger room because she was on a bigger scholarship than we were. We were supposed to pay more because she had more money than us? Interesting, no? She moved out and tried to move in a freak we didn’t know, so we said no and moved in our own new roommate just in time!

This is my third roommate who is completely inept. This one refuses to take out the trash, claiming it's all mine. She never does the dishes, claiming their all mine. The funny thing is that everytime I see her…she's eating. She's also always ordering pizza, so there are always pizza boxes all over my kitchen. And I say MY kitchen because I cook, she eats it. When I clean, she dirties it. She is always eating my food, then playing it off like I ate her food. Instead of telling me she has a problem with me…which i can't imagine what it is, she calls the landlord. She brings weird, random guys for one-night stands home at random hours, but can't stand it when my friend's come over. I can't find a subleaser and I'm moving out in two months, I don't know what to do!

I've never lived in a dorm, but had plenty of roommates during college. One was a total slob, and dropped out of school after 4 weeks. He also let a homeless person live with us. THis guy was seriously creepy, and asked me strange questions while I stayed up and did homework

I had "The Apologetic Freeloader" as a room mate last semester! To make it worse — we shared a bathroom…and her and her girlfriend would take a shower together — THEN not was the shower. She never once cleaned, took the trash out, bought toilet paper (or cleaning stuff), and then always begged for all my food — and when I rarely didn't give her MY food she'd whine about how hungry she was. The final blow came when she picked a huge fight right before I had to be somewhere (perfect timing, huh?). She made sure a mutual friend was in the room..not to mediate, but to embarrass me. She left the door open to the hall..and screamed as loud as she could about how I was "ungrateful bitch" and how I "should be happy because I basically had the room to myself because she was never there" (yeah, right! Just like she was never there when I caught her playing with my electronics..going through my things…and "borrowing" stuff without asking, huh?)
