‘Is that a raw chicken breast in the bathroom?’
35 Unbelievable Roommate Horror Stories

Your home may be your sanctuary, but if you have a roommate, it’s their sanctuary too. And they might want their sanctuary to have a communal underwear policy. 

A Redditor had a roommate who, like many of us, hated doing laundry. When he ran out, he would “borrow” a pair from the Redditor, despite being told not to. On many occasions, he’d swipe a pair of skivvies solely for the purpose of going on a date, and would return them “unwashed” with “all of his smells (and hers)” trapped in the material.   

Yuck!

Other Redditors have come forward with tales about being a victim of their shared living situation, and unfortunately, that’s not the only stomach-churning story about undergarments.

shquid 6y ago Lived in a fairly small apartment with 3 roommates, two of which I was friends with and one random girl. The random girl would turn down our A/C so low that one day it stopped working because it was literally frozen. We asked her to stop so many times but she just ignored us. Our electric bill was always so high, one month it was $400. She also came home with a cat one day but she was never home to take care of it so she just left it in her dark room all day. We

jrfish e 15y ago 1 Edited 15y ago Tampons, used - all over the floor. Edit: to further elaborate, we had an R.A. who finally called her out on it and basically told her that she was gross. The chick flipped out. She came to me later that day and asked me you don't think I'm gross, do you? I had no idea what to say. I just tried to be nice and said no, not at all! + 25 ...
 7y ago Had a roommate freshmen year in a shared room who was training for a bodybuilding competition. Не would wake up at 5, make a ton of noise, go for a run, come back at 6, go to the gym, come back and pose in front of the mirror (sometimes in the nude) all while I was clearly awake. Не would also go to bed at 8pm and get pissed if any noise was made, the clicking of the keys on my phone once set him off because he needed beauty rest. + 1.5K ...
slyce0flife 7y ago My roommate's boyfriend moved in with us to get back on his feet, which was supposed to be a couple weeks at the most. Не kept ordering porn on our cable box and when I told her he had to go, he refused to leave. We called the cops and they made us allow him 30 days to vacate! It was the most awkward situation. Pair this with the fact that I had to hide my food in my bedroom because my roommate would get up in the middle of the night and eat my poptarts. +
 7y ago One of my roommates was a real slob. We got on his ass about messes in the kitchen, but there wasn't much we could do about his room. Anyways, one night we woke up to his yells and when i opened his door a raccoon ran out of his room, which my other roommate shot and killed. My dirty ass room mate fell a sleep with his window open and a raccoon ended up coming in and eating random shit strewn about his room. 384 ...
CelaenoHarpy 11y ago - One of my roommates would let her alarm go off and she would not. Get. Up. Seriously, she would just let it go on and on (and we're sharing a single dorm room, not an apartment).

Engineeredgiraffe 7y ago One of my roommates once decided he wanted to experiment with his sexuality and picked a guy up at a club.

botron72 7y ago I once caught my then roommate talking to himself... But not in the way one would expect. Rather, he was a having a full on conversation with a pre-recorded video of himself. The only reason I caught him is because I was gonna ask him about rent that was due. Не proceeded to tell me that he didn't have money and when I asked him what the hell he was gonna do about it he said, I guess I have to rob someone. Yeah, he was a crazy one. + 6 ...

I also had to start locking my bedroom door because there were a few occasions where he came in and passed out in my bed even when I told him he wasn't in his room.
TheDreyfusAffair 3y ago I had one that refused to go outside to smoke his cigarettes. We live in MA, kid would sit in the living late at night, cold as fuck out (0 degrees F type cold), with the window wide open smoking butts. Не had a habit of leaving the window open all night. To top it off, the window was adjacent to our thermometer, so the heat would be cranking all night. Drained our oil tank (couple hundred dollars to fill) way faster than it should have. That was just one of his many annoying habits. + 236
michikiniqua 3y ago I had a roommate who wouldn't flush his poo. I ended up taking the toilet seat off and keeping it locked in my room. I told him if he couldn't be a big boy and flush his poo then he wasn't allowed to use the big boy potty and could either shit before he got home or ask our 2 downstairs roommates if he could use their shared bathroom. What a fucking manchild. Не was easily the worst roommate I've ever had. 64 ...

 3y ago Edited 3y ago One of my old housemates had a bad habit of being drunk and hungry, but not having any snacks around. His solution would be to cook while wasted. One time he was blacked out while cooking sausage on the stove at 4 am. Не got distracted and left the sausage to take a SHOWER. Thankfully one of us was woken up by the smoke before the house burned down. Safe to say that he was not allowed to cook with the stove after a certain hour lol + 132 ...
Sigyn12 3y ago Edited 3y ago When coming home from a night out, someone on the bus puked on my flatmates shoes. So he came home with his nasty puke shoes and started cleaning them in our kitchen sink, with our kitchen sponge. That we use for dishes. Please note we had two bathrooms, a laundry room and a garden where he could've cleaned his puky shoes, but no, he chose the kitchen as his preferred option. + 102 ...
chlowoah 7y ago Edited 7y ago Not me, but my cousin had a roommate her freshman year of college that had to listen to Harry Potter book one on tape every single night to fall asleep. My cousin bought her headphones but she refused to wear them because they hurt her ears she would play it on a portable speaker loud enough to keep my cousin awake all night. The worst part... she wouldn't even start the tape where she left off the previous night, she would play the beginning every night over and over again. Mr. and mrs. dursley
 3y ago Edited Зу ago My first college roommate hated doing laundry. When he ran out of clean underwear for a date, he'd borrow mine (even though I told him to leave my stuff alone). As I once described, he'd return my underwear unwashed after his dates with all his smells (and hers) trapped in the material. It felt weird wearing them afterwards, knowing his junk had been in them. + 404 ...

Kindergoat 3y ago My first college roommate had pictures of herself taped all over her mirror. That was my first sign. She then decided to wage war on me because she decided, for some random reason, that she didn't like me. I had friends next door and down the hall and we never really hung out with her because she had her own circle of friends. Anyway, this bitch short sheeted my bed, spread peanut butter on my sheets and stole a pair of my shoes. Thank God she left after the first semester. + 133 ...
 6y ago - Не charged me $500 bucks to rent tiny room in his apartment. Не said to feel free to use the rest of apartment, but there were all these rules so I just stayed in room for most part. Found out a few years later that he was only paying $500 a month for apartment. So...yeah... 126 ...
