I can beat fleas. I lived with a literal crack whore (she slept with her dealer for discounts). Did coke off a table in the common room. Off the back of a license plate. Left open bottles of Summer's Eve in our shower and her dirty underwear in the common room. Went into coke-fueled screaming rages when we tried to leave various items of her property at her door. One time, Roommate #2 woke up to a strange boy in his underwear brushing his teeth one morning, and one night she brought home two boys from a dry county... and left me to entertain them. Also, she set the dorm building on fire.

	Also, she set the dorm building on fire. I like the way this reads as an afterthought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heh. It kind of was at the time, I guess--a cigarette that she dropped. I was coming back from the campus gym, saw the firefighters rushing past me and all the other girls from our building standing around in the street, did a little mental math as to how the fire would match up with our room, and... yup. I turned right back around and went back to the gym. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I lived with a crack addict once. I would find him in my closet with his tin foil pipe. And then he would spend days passed out on the couch looking like death. He got so thin I could clearly see his skull. It was horrible. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I had one of those! Cocaine addict and heavy Stella drinker, not a good combination, particularly when you riled her by, for example, watching TV or cooking something to eat. She was so loud, our neighbours called the police a couple of times, she'd bring deeply strange guys over and just vanish, seemed to be clinically incapable of picking up after herself... Never set the place on fire, though she did take a huge gouge out of the kitchen worktop with one of my knives during an argument.

I spent the majority of that year in my room.

	Oh, thank god my druggie roommate was only into hallucinogens, mostly pot. This is why I've seen a blunt rolled and smoked. And once got a buzz because he and a friend were hotboxing in our room when I needed to grab a book for history class. Someone called the cops on them for that one. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I had a roommate who would leave her used tampons/pads all over the bathroom floor. Whether or not the trashcan was full.

Yeah, that's when my other roommate and I essentially moved into our boyfriends' dorm room (we were dating roommates).

Had a roommate another year who would cut herself in her bedroom and then ask me to bring her tissues. And then ask me not to tell anyone. 'Cause the best way to keep your issues a secret is to ask your goody two shoes roommate to help you clean up.
