Flashback Friday (Part 41) - College Roommates (not) From Hell
December 11, 2009
It's always interesting to hear stories of roommates from hell. I was lucky and had no major issues with my roommates but many of my friends were not so lucky.
My good friend CC lived with four girls while we at Virginia Tech and they had an extra room so a random guy named Bo moved in. He wasn't a student but he was the bouncer at our favorite watering hole that occasionally turned into a benefit. One day she discovered an ant problem but not in the kitchen, it was coming from upstairs. Bo had been leaving spit cups from chewing tobacco in his room for months weeks which combined with leftover pizza crusts under the bed caused an ant infestation. An exterminater had to be called.
I lived with three other girls my junior and senior year in a two story townhouse off-campus but near the Virginia Tech football stadium. As was typical in college, we had little spats on occassion and looking back they were over the dumbest things, turning up the heat, turning down the heat, leaving lights on, turning lights off, etc.
This picture was taken in 1998 on The Couch that we bought ON SALE for 10 dollars. I had it in college and then for almost three more after I graduated. From left to right is Beth, Jessica, Kathy, Therese's boyfriend and now husband Chris and Therese who you may remember from our "dancing " freshman year. We're playing drinking jenga which is still in rotation over ten years later in my house especially during hurricanes.
In college, I remember vividly going to the ATM machine and taking out $5. That was two supermugs of beers or two 32 oz of miller lite With Tip. Oh the good old days...
Do you have any roommate from hell stories?

Flashback Friday 2 for 1
I was lucky and had pretty good roommates too! We got in stupid fights over little thing, but for the most part it was all good.
I could write a novel about my roommate from hell. Freshman year. potluck. This girl was nutty!!! I kept catching her wearing my underwear, and once caught her using my tweezers to pick at something on her girly parts. And that's just the beginning!!
Nothing "from hell" really. I had a roommate who was bullemic though, that was interesting.
I remember my boyfriend calling out from the bathroom - WHO BLEW CHUNKS? one time when she had neglected under the seat cleaning....the boyfriend had no idea she was bullemic and she got really freaked out. OH NO! Someone knows...kind of freaked out.
She is OKAY now I am happy to report. Married and with a sweet little boy!

Flashback Friday! The only room mate I've had is my hubby, and aside from a need that has never been fulfilled to throw his shoes at him when he leaves them in the middle of the living room while he sleeps, he's OK to live with...Ha..
I'm probably the one my roommates all complain about :)
When I first moved to VA Beach I had roommates from hell..."THERE ARE CRUMBS ON THE CUTTING BOARD!!!"
$5 from an atm?!?!? HOLY MOLY, that must have been a long time ago!
i have some roommate from hell stories. god, college was nearly 20 years ago, and i would still like to kill that bitch!
yes, i hold grudges!!! :)
I had a crazy roommate in college who tried to slit her wrists with a butter knife.
That is a huge couch for $10!!!
I lived by myself in an apartment in college so I was very lucky.
I still can't believe $5 went that far with 2 beers.
