Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can I tell you guys something. So I ran into
a roommate the other day. I was just at a
coffee shop and I had a couple bad roommates, but
this one was by far the worst. Okay, like, we
did not in good terms. She basically lived at her
boyfriend's place, would come home every once in a while,
(00:20):
leave her crap everywhere. You couldn't see the floor of
her bedroom. Oh my god, because she bought so many
things all the time, like shoe she had stacks of
shoe boxes the height of her Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Because she'd buy things all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And at the time, I was in a relationship and
she came at me for my boyfriend being over too much,
even though she.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Never was there.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
When I came at her for being like, you need
to clean your crap up. You don't even live here.
And it turned into a very messy, messy situation of
her letting some crazy person, another crazy person move in
in place of her. She was crazy because she was
a pathologic colliars. She kept saying that she had a
job lined up at the tattoo shop next door, and
(01:04):
we're like, well, when are you starting your job? And
then she wouldn't sign the lease, so that meant everyone
that was on the old least was responsible for the
current rents.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The new girl wouldn't sign the least. She ate all
our food.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So I've had a few situations, but the one person,
the first roommate that I'm talking about, she was the
absolute worst and they ran into her. And it's sad
because we were friends. We were front right, No, we
kind of saw each other. I averted my eye contact
and I ran out of that coffee shop as quick
as I could because she really, like she verbally.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Attacked me at one point about things. And that's the whole.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Other story story you get come to blows.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
No, I mean, I just I wouldn't sign the new
least because she let the other crazy person move in
without talking to me about it, and so I wouldn't
sign the new lead.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Sure, but she still had a key to the apartment.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So her she showed up one day and literally like
assaulted me on the patio as I was just enjoying
a rand afternoon, like summer afternoon on the patio.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh my. So there's a lot more to.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
That story, but it got me thinking, like I know,
I'm not the only one who's had bad roommates before,
and I want and I know, Dave, you've never had
a roommate, so I don't think you have any stories,

Well, mine's not that bad. But I was in a

the other two like to keep the thermostat at like
ninety degrees, so we would be living in a sauna.
And then it was like an ongoing battle of me
and my roommate, like turning turning, thermocedad to like sixty
five and the others turney into ninety. And then we
lived in this like on and off sauna for an
(04:26):
entire semester.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Oh my god, that'd be awful. So this is in

Yes, good information on Earth.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It was miserable. I can't even imagine. Thanks to cale
roommate from Hell's Stories. Hi Lisa, Hello, Hey Lisa.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Hi, I am calling to share badroommates story. So in college,
me and five my friends lived in the five bedroom
apartment and my friends shared one of the bedrooms, so
that meant there was an extra bedroom, which we had
a random roommate filter through a couple of years that
we lived there, and one night we all came home
(05:12):
from the bars. Uh pretty late that night or early
in the morning, however you want to look at it,
and this random roommate was sitting in our living room
with one of his friends and they were playing with
his machine gun.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Didn't expect that one. What do you do when your
roommates playing with a machine gun.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
We all just went to bed.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, how quick did you get that person out of there?
Since you said it was kind of rotating a rotating spot.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Yeah, he lived there for a year and then he graduated,
so then we got.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
A new roommates, but still a year.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
All right, I'm gonna say it was.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Are you sure it was a machine gun because a
lot of civilians look at a like a rifle and
they go, it's a machine gun.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
We are all we were all like country.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
People, you know, Okay, sometimes you know they.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Are out there mobster guns that he had.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Highly illegal, highly illegal. All right, we got Sam on
the phone, roommates from Hell. What do you got, Sam, Well.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
My roommates had some fish in the dorm room and
they never cleaned it, and it just kept getting nasty
and nastier to the point where there's like scum on top.
So I took matters into my own hands when we
were a party in one night, and I bought some
vodka in there to get rid of them. So maybe
that makes me the roommate from Hell, But.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I don't know, you know, no, I mean it's there's
equally balanced there. They would have a story about you, Sam,
I had a nice fish tanking. This a hole sham
poured vodka in it. I can see both sides of
the story.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Wait, did you pour vodka there to get rid of
the scum or the fish?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Fish?
Speaker 9 (06:57):
The fish dirty move?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You didn't have much of a life anyway.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I know, I feel bad to the fish. We got
a lot of text messages, same idea about fish. This
text says, my roommate would keep her dead aquarium fish
in our freezer, so once they died, kept them in
the freezer.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't know, in case they wanted to come back.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
My roommate stole my shaky thing, and I found it
in her bed.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Who steals a shaky thing?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Roommates from hail? Let's see. My roommate in college had
the top bunk.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I found out after several months that when she'd have
guys over, they'd use my bed the bottom bunk when.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
They hook up.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh no, This.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Text says, my horrible college roommate didn't realize you had
to wash your towels or put your milk in the fridge.
He was also disturbed by the sight of tampons in
the box under the sink. Then use the same bowl
to cook eggs in the microwave and never washed it.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I think some people grow up with mama or daddy
doing so much of everything for them that they never
really realized you got to put milk in the refrigerator,
and dishes that you set on the coffee table don't
magically disappear and appear back clean in the cupboard.
Can I tell you guys something. So I ran into
a roommate the other day. I was just at a
coffee shop and I had a couple bad roommates, but
this one was by far the worst. Okay, like, we
