funny roommate horror stories

One common theme is bad cooking experiences. Like my roommate who tried to make a simple omelette but ended up setting the pan on fire. Another is strange pet situations, similar to the snake story I mentioned before. And of course, there are those noisy roommate situations, whether it's loud music at odd hours or really bad singing in the shower.

My former roommate had a pet snake that got loose. I woke up one morning and almost stepped on it. It was slithering around the living room. He didn't seem too worried though, just casually looking for it while I was freaking out on a chair.

One time my roommate tried to cook a simple meal but ended up setting off the smoke alarm. The kitchen was filled with smoke and the food was completely charred. He just stood there looking confused while I was running around trying to open all the windows to let the smoke out.

Once, my roommate thought it would be funny to hide all my left shoes. I was running late for class and couldn't find any of them. When I finally found them in the microwave (of all places), we both had a great laugh.

There was this one roommate who thought he was a great dancer. He would randomly start dancing in the middle of the living room, often knocking things over. One time he knocked over a lamp while doing his crazy dance moves and just laughed it off while I was left to clean up the mess.

Once I had a roommate who brought strangers home all the time without warning. It made me feel very unsafe. And this roommate also ate my food from the fridge without permission. I had to label everything in the end just to protect my own food. It was really a horrible experience living with such a roommate.

One time, two gay roommates decided to redecorate their living room. But they had such different tastes. One liked modern minimalism and the other liked bohemian style. They ended up with a really eclectic and kind of crazy - looking living room that they just learned to love and laugh about. Every time a new guest came, they would tell the story of how it came to be, which was always hilarious.

My roommate used to steal my things. I would notice my clothes missing and then find them in her closet. It was so creepy. I confronted her about it, but she just denied it. After a while, I started locking my stuff up, but it was really uncomfortable living with someone I couldn't trust.

If you have a difficult roommate, communication is key. Sit down and talk to them about the issues you're having. Be honest but also respectful. For example, if they're messy, say something like 'I noticed the apartment is getting really dirty, and it's starting to bother me. Can we come up with a cleaning schedule?'

One horror story could be a roommate who constantly steals food. They would take others' groceries without asking, leaving the other roommates hungry and frustrated.
