For a real episode.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And what is our question that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We are posing. That's your worst roommate story?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yes, what is your worst roommate story, roommate horror story,
anything of this sort. We have our first guests in
the podcast who just said that they came up and
they said this needs to be shared. So we're really
excited to hear what's going on.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Tell me more, tell me more.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, my roommate.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
When she moved out, drew a curse in permanent sharply
in her closet that I found five weeks after she
moved out.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What do you mean a curse?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
It's a drawing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And words. Was it targeted towards you or.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It was targeted towards my house?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh no, oh my god?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Are we talking like satanic ritual like.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Which which No, it's just a little bit WITCHI okay,
nothing too satanic.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Can you reveal what the curse said?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Yeah? It said?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh my god? What was it? It said? This house
is cursed and all who lived here should be cursed.
As well, this soil is poison find somewhere else to grow.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I feel like that's a that's a pretty to Okay,
it sounds like a pretty low effort just to be
like I cursed you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm so curious they did that.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, well, there was a really bad falling out. But
also why did the falling out need to be.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Ending in this curse?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Related to the events of this.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Wow Yeah for our listeners, it looks a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Dumb, a little goofy. It's the emotion that counts.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, it's the fact that I found this five weeks
after she moved out in an empty room. Like imagine
you're like, I'm cleaning the closet. I'm cleaning What the
fuck is that?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, sorry, am I allowed to curse?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Oh yeah, who gives a shit.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It's like it's like you're looking at the closet. If
you look at the closet, there's no doors, right, okay,
so you're like, oh, normal closet. And then if you
go into the closet and you turn around, so now
you're facing the room that's where it's written.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh, like just a you can't see it from the outside.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You have to get up in the closet. So what
we were doing is we were cleaning the inside of
the closet and then we saw it. Oh and I
just simply had no words.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You've managed to get rid of it, or we did.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
We called our landlord and we said, hey, our roommate
left this when she moved out. And the landlord was like, low, yeah,
that sounds like her. And then she, I think tried
to find like find my roommate. I don't know if
that worked out, but we didn't get fined for it,
and they painted over it, so that's good. We did
(03:30):
stage the house afterwards.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So you guys and the landlord were in on not
liking this roommate.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yes, very bad things happened prior to the curse. My
roommate's a legal cat was kicked out of the house.
Who kicks out in illegal essay?
Speaker 7 (03:48):
That's me and.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Cat needs a home too.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
There was accusations, there was a meeting with admin in
the cafes department and.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Yeah, oh wow, And so this was on campus housing
or was it off?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is that okay? Too much?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And my last question is do you think you and
your other roommates reaped any of the curse. Didn't anything
go crazy or go wrong after that roommate left.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You know, that week that we found the purse, it
was it was a weird week. We got this cat
from the catch alter and we were like, oh, super
cute cat. We were fostering it because our other cat
had been kicked out. And then all of a sudden,
she starts like crying. Like the cat was like actually
crying in pain. It couldn't move. Took her to the doctor.
(04:48):
She has like bone cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Oh oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I was like, okay, really cool. I forget what something else? Oh,
we went to the flea market that week and my
roommate's Forerunner, which is like like off road vehicle built
to be durable, and got stuck in the mud. Oh
and we had to have like a big strong man
with a big F one fifty like show us out.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, so maybe it was real.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Weird stuff happened that week for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Well, at least that that man was the f one
fifty was pretty happy. So I got to use the truck
for its purpose.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, I'm sure he felt great. He was like in
flip flops and like shorts and we were like covered
in mud and our forerunner what in experience, it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Was embarrassing for him overall.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah yeah, but since then you've been doing all right.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Since then, I think things have really recovered. Yeah, it
was just me and my two other roommates chilling in
the house for nine months since the curse. The incident,
as we refer to it, happened during the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's that's insane. Thank you so much. That was so welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What a start, What a start that was. That was
a great story. I don't know if any of my
stories could match up to that. Do you have any
Roomade horror stories?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Question?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
I have, I would say too, but like one of them,
like the guy was genuinely like just a nice guy
and it was just a consistent problem that happened, So
I don't really want to put that on him.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
But the other one I would say, like I would
call the that the hero of that story, a real moron,
That guy I I have no qualms with, Yeah, like
telling off, but.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of in this in a similar boat,
Like I'm still good friends with uh, most of my
old roommates from from the past three years. So I
don't want to like spit dirt on their name or
anything because I like them.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
To my friends. It's like it's kind of not worth it. Yeah,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like, you know what, Well, there is one thing that
I will dish, one thing that I will complain about.
And because I'm still on over it. You know, some
some like roommate qualms. They're really annoying when your roommates,
and then after you move out, it's like, ah, I
was part of the fun. Oh well, but this still
hurts my heart. It still gives me nightmares to this day.
(07:35):
We were moving out of my house just this past
like the beginning of summer, when I lease ended, we're
moving out. I was moving in with a couple of
my friends, and it was the last night before we
had to give our keys back to the landlord ands
(07:56):
and obviously knowing me, I waited until last night to
conduct my cleaning duties in my room and just like
kind of do last minute pick up around the house
and make sure everything was up before the landlord came
and inspected it. And I was planning to just clean
my room and maybe like wipe up my bathroom a
(08:18):
little bit because the landlord was paying for like a
deeper cleaning service. So that was my plan. So I
got there and I looked around and everything. I thought
my roommates had said that they cleaned up their stuff,
but it didn't look like it. So I was like, oh, okay,
I guess I'll like pick up their stuff too. And
(08:38):
then I entered my two of my roommate's bathroom. Mm hm,
oh my god. We lived in that place for two
years and I don't think they cleaned that bathroom elb
oh never when I tell you slime, grime, pub and
(08:58):
lou oh. It was maybe not all that, but oh
my god, it was insane. I have never seen a
shower slash bathtub that dirty, never seen a toilet that dirty,
never seen a floor that dirty. It was crazy. It
was absolutely insane. I like wiped up the bathtub just
(09:19):
along the rim of it, and it was like it
was like jel like this color. It was that consistency,
just like gel and it all accumulated. Just the most
horrendous in the world.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
You know, it reminds me that I could stand to
clean my bathroom a little more. Yes, yeah, you know,
it's a little different. My roommate his girlfriend visited from
Texas and they went surfing, so they you know, hung
the wet suits inside.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's fine. There's just shower.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Inside of our shower, there's just a corner of like
you know that has a thin layer of sand, which,
like you know, it was not great, but yeah, it
will it will have to get like washed away in
a bit.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Sure, Like yeah, okay, so we were our next guest
on the podcast. But you want to remain anonymous? No,
what about a fake name?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
JPP?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (10:18):
JP.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You seemed really excited by this question of a roommate
FI story.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
I do so. I'm a second year. Last year, I
lived in the Trinity Red bricks. I want I'm glad.
It's so great.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
But I went and blind, I like, didn't pick a
roommate off the Instagram. I want to completely blind. I
saw their names, you know, friend them on Instagram. Was great,
Like I was like, all right, I'm excited to meet
you guys, and so on. The like first day technically
second day of moving. When I got there, I was
like with my mom and I was like so excited.
First day of college. I opened the door, It's like
(10:54):
a fat cloud of.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Weed just helped me, and I was like, oh man,
I was.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Like I I smoke occasionally, you know, like a little medically,
a little recreationally, but I was not ready for this.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And it was every day.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
In this one roommate we'll call him, we'll call him
John and Paul, which is JP. And so John would
smoke every day and I love John, great guy, really nice.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But he uh heardstoner, heardstoner for sure?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Are we talking? Are we talking like joints?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
We're talking.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
We're talking bowls.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Penn.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Jay's all throughout the day, eight eight hours a day,
like NonStop, and you know, respect he did well, did
most of his work.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
But that's that's just the beginning.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
So after after a couple of months, I like, I
build up a tolerance to it. And my other roommate, Paul,
he uh, he's a very sweet guy, goes to bed
at nine, very promptly. He doesn't curse, he doesn't need
junk food. God bless his soul. And I don't know
how he put up with it. But one day he
kind of just like snapped and in the middle of
(12:01):
the night, like after the fire alarm, and I slept
through the fire alarm, got pulled and they came back.
John started like lighting up another j and Paul was like, listen, man,
I'm sick of it. And they started like full on
yelling match at probably at like seven in the morning.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
I'm like an eight am class.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I'm kind of just like slowly putting my pants on,
just like watching this, and they're started doing it. And
eventually he gets his like nice probably a couple hundred
dollars long, and just throws it at the door, like
at him John Dugs and it breaks against the door
and just shatters everywhere.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
And then from there it was just like I'm sure
you can imagine how he reacted.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
It was not great.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
And from there I was very on my toes for
it was towards end of the year, but I was
on my toes creeping around.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Both of them for the rest of the year. And
they made nice. They were we all ended friends.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
But I definitely had my trials and tribulations and Trinity
red bricks.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Damn, oh shit, so did the did the did the
weed smoking?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
He continued, and we kind of just had like tolerted
we I'm sure we had our own you know, quirks,
but definitely the biggest stone I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And it was disruptive.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It was disruptive, but I guess it made me really
chill at the end of the day, and that's probably
why we were able.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
To tolerate it. That's my horror story. It was really
I was waiting to tell this story. This is perfect.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's a really good glad.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Did you ever get to the benefits or was he
very protective?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
He would he would share with everyone that could be great.
I don't even know where, like endless supply of just
like pure bud and wax and dabs, like I don't
know where it came from.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
But he had it.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
But when his parents came for like parents' weekend, he
would like hide it also like vanquished, like thin air,
like fairy godparent style.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I don't know, like I don't know. It's dual lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What a master an.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
I love it. That's my horror story.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Thank you, Thank you for sharing.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Of course that's what.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
We're here for, I know, right, Yeah. Weed is a
pretty contentious topic.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It is.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
It is.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I don't know how it is for women, but men
are big fans of weeds.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
These days, I would say women are too.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I don't live there.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Don't want to make any assumptions, you know, I'm just saying,
like with so, you know, if there's always like one
roommate who smokes weed and the first set my room,
the first room I had in Trinity all those years ago,
like totally like default white guy, I would say, so
no weed for him. I don't even think he drank alcohol. If, like,
(14:48):
if very much love that guy. Then the next year
I moved out to off campus housing. I had three roommates.
They were all varying degree of chill. One of them
I've come to like basically hate for the most part.
One of them, you know, super nice guy, really liked him,
(15:09):
saved his life.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That was that was rough, But I really liked that guy.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
If I have the courage to talk to him again,
I probably would. And then the other guy was like,
you know, total military boy. So I think he only
like took in a little bit of alcohol. He was
kind of like Paul from the previous guys story, right,
like you know, straight bedtime, like you know, always did
his duties and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Great guy.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Yeah, and then I forgot to keep talking to him.
But still have his number somewhere.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
But so those guys were pretty okay. And the the
middle roommate that I mentioned he was he'd like, you know,
did a lot of drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
He partied.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
His main thing was alcohol, but like he always mostly
did it like outside at a different party, so it
was outside. But then the next year, Uh, I was
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
It was Hugh.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
He smoked once in the apartment. I went out there
and like, dude, I can smell it. It's really powerful.
Because we shared a wall.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I was like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
He's like, I'm sorry, I was just just testing it
and let me into Yeah. And so then he did
it somewhere else. I didn't smell for her as a year.
Great guy, shut up.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
We love you.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Sometimes I think I could have been a better roommate,
but you know, great guy. And then after I have
another roommate who I share the wall with. Uh, and uh,
he smokes a little more frequently, and we all told him, like, dude,
we can smell it, but we're all varying degrees of
like okay with it, but like sometimes it's like dude,
(16:45):
you gotta just slow down. He like goes to the
sliding door and like, you know, does it right next
to the window, But at least for me the window
it curls back to my window.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So it's a bit rough.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
So some I have, like I literally have bottles of
this and I just stick my nose in it occasionally
to smell something nicer. Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's a there's a there's a method to the madness.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
I think if I were to be put inside a
Paul's story, i'd probably lose my ship too.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Yeah, I don't know if I would like go destruction
of property, but I would. I would be yelling at
the guy like you gotta stop, dude.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, I think i'd probably agree. If my clothes start
smelling like whatever you're looking up.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
If I started smelling like we'ed, I would like that'd
probably be like one of my breaking points.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It is. It is pretty cool that he was willing
to share his stuff. If he was like lighting it
up and saying, no, you can't have any, that would
be crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You're just giving me secondhand weak exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
In freshman year, I had chosen my roommates Ruby. We're
still roommates. My best friend love her to death, and
we got in a situation where we were they it
was us two, and then they signed us a random
(18:06):
third roommate in YAK two two, And for a couple
different reasons, that third roommate, like a week before school started,
was like, never mind, I'm gonna go live somewhere else.
So Ruby and I were chilling three person dorm, two people.
It was the luxury of life. We were on top
of the world. We thought nothing could stop us. And
then November hit and University Housing emailed us and they said, hey,
(18:30):
in a week, somebody's going to be moving in a
third roommate. Oh, And we were like, oh no, our
freedom is gone. That made ended up being really nice,
new cool. There were a couple instances where we didn't
we clashed, but it wasn't because of who we were
as people. She's still super nice. There was a couple
(18:54):
instances though, where she did get sick. Oh, and the
bad news is she was on the top bunk and
I was on the bottom. The first instance was out
of any of our control, so I won't talk about that.
But the second instance was just I think a little
bit of stupidity because she decided to take Bena drill.
(19:20):
She was like feeling a little bit sick whatever, And
then she went to a party drank and everyone knows
that when you drink alcohol and take ben a drill,
it doesn't mix at all. I thought that was common knowledge,
but apparently it wasn't. And so my roommate and I
returned to our room to the gorgeous smell of bile.
(19:43):
It was leaking down onto my bed.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh no, did get on.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Ruby's favorite stuff animal? Oh it was crazy. So that
night Ruby and I we made what was called the
dream bid, which is when we went to the the
what's it called the.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Room, the common room, the common room, and.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We pushed all the couches together and fell asleep there
in a big, big bed. Good time at that time,
worst day of my life. But looking back, it was
pretty funny. It was pretty fun Well, it's kind.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Of funny and the like.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, But I'm sure that girl has learned her
lesson and she is thriving now. She'll never take ben
a drill and alcohol alcohol at the same time again.
And I'm happy for her. And she knows that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
She had a life experience, and.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So did we, and so did we and to never
sleep on the bottom bunk.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I thankfully got the top bunk and the bottom was
the desk, so it was just me in my bed.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
That's pretty idea.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Hello there, bok the chatterbox. Would you like to remain
anonymous or does it not?
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Okay? Would you like fake names? Sometimes they're fun?
Speaker 10 (21:04):

Speaker 4 (21:17):
So it's like I just talked about like a horse.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Would you like the headphones? You can hear yourself. Some
people think it's fun.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's kind of loud, so we have to like talk
kind of directly into the.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Like, buddy, same. You don't have to wear the headphones,
just so you're very clear. You do have to be
a little closer to the microphone.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's like the only requirement.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, okay, alrighty Lo's.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Hair heism Bern's harasy. Well, my friend like, uh, itels
like last year in her first year. Yeah, she would.
Basically she would up went to her roommate, just like
doing the deed with her boypend and it's a funk.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
On the top bunk.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I don't know it was either she was a bottom book,
but she just woke up to like shaky, Oh.
Speaker 5 (22:16):

And then there's no a time where she got kicked
out after the room, so for down to.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I can't believe they got sex out like that.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I was like, that's so mean, I think.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
And another friend of mine, like, they had a mushroom
growing in the corner of the room and she got
blamed for it.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
What I mean, what can you do about that.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Mushroom? Just a whole ass fun guy.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, it's a whole fun guy in the corner of
the room, and she got blamed for it by her
other roommate.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I was like, what do you like?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What that's so out of your control, Like, what do
you even do to grow upun.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Ey, not clean your clean your apartment. I guess I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
It, just like I guess in a most like.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Most like, I don't know. That's rough. That's really rough.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I was like, what kind of like what kind of
place did you live with?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What's what's your first story?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
A last year?
Speaker 10 (23:34):
Most of the times I come back to my room.
I find my roommates sleeping in the carpet that my
roommate bought that. Oh he's naping there, and I usually
just step over him. That's pretty much it was.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
It a really just a constant obstruction.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
It's not it's not really obstructing me. It's just like strange.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Was it a really really comfory carpet though? Yeah, yeah,
I did it too, so.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
A carpet not as much as him. So who got
the carpet?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Uh? I think.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Not using the carpet to its full potential?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Wait was it you guys had a banana in the middle.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Of the room.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's a good start. Clearly I forgot that room banana.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I don't know. Maybe it was someone else. They had
a banana peel in the middle of the room. It
was rotting, and he loved it for like months.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh my god, it's like the it's the it's the
cheese from U. Don't touch it the banana. Touch the banana.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Oh that's not wrong, Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Well yeah, it's supposed to be a bad thing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, it's a moldy banana.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I'll speaking of moldy stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I think another friend of mine had like a moldy
pumpkin in the corner of the room now, because her
roommate was like, she carved a pumpkin for Halloween and
it was molding for basically weeks. Had a like an
atrocious smell of that.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
I mean, pumpkin is do not smell very good in
the first place, so a rotting one can't be that good.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, it was literally rotting in the room and she
had to take it out, even.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Though that was not her response, someone's got to do
it at that point.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, that's not that was not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
At least it wasn't the banana at least.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That was like so many I heard so many bad things.
I don't know, nothing really bad happened for me.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Man and my fortune.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's about it for my own.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Well, thank you, thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I love rotten, good, old rotten food. It's that.

Have a good day. So we have our final guest,
is it our final one? Do you think we can
sneak in another? We'll see.

Pick names? Would you like one?
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:30):

are some names that you guys had.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Are they like real names or like one of them
like by Heisenberg. So you're you're good. You could go
buy like taco or something.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Okay, taco, okay, pay perdo. So we heard you had
a REMI horror story and freshman year. Yes, freshman year,
dorm roommate, random, random roommate, slot machine handle them.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
So I guess the story goes that I was hanging
out at someone else's dorm and I needed to grab
something from my room.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So I walk in and I.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
See my roommate and her boyfriend and they're like coughing,
and so I'm in there for probably like a minute,
and I'm coughing too, and I'm like, okay, that's kind
of weird. So then I leave and then I'm like, oh, shoot,
I forgot one other thing. So then I come back
in and I'm immediately like coughing again just by entering
the room, and I noticed that, like, yeah, she's coughing,
(27:43):
and I'm like, huh, it's kind of weird that we're
all coughing. And then she was like, oh yeah, haha.
My boyfriend sprayed pepper spray in.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Her room to see how it works in a confined space.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, I was just like what.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
And yeah, I didn't really like I'm not like a
confrontational person, so I wasn't like why, sorry, why did
you do that?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I just kind of left. It's like, dang, that is insane.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
And then one of my really good friends lived right
below us inside because I think he like tried to
straight out the window and it was a screen window,
so it kind of gets stuck and it like dripped
down and he's like, I swear it's on my screen
as well because he's just one below.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
No, that is idiotic. That is crazy. How long did
it take for the smell to get out? Hmmm? I'd
say like two days. I wouldn't spend much time in
my room though. Yeah, oh my goodness, what was it?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Hit?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Did he did he own the pepper spray?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I don't know who's pepper spray was for, so I
was like, because I had pepper spray, I don't think
my roommate had it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So it was kind of like, didn't they use my peppers?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Too?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, all right, Well, thank you. Yes, that's crazy, so
sorry that happened. No, it's all right, it's more of
like a story now, it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
What what what an idea though?
Speaker 8 (29:26):

the thing that makes people like just completely unhappy.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
For a real episode.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And what is our question that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We are posing. That's your worst roommate story?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yes, what is your worst roommate story, roommate horror story,
anything of this sort. We have our first guests in
the podcast who just said that they came up and
they said this needs to be shared. So we're really
excited to hear what's going on.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Tell me more, tell me more.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, my roommate.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
When she moved out, drew a curse in permanent sharply
in her closet that I found five weeks after she
moved out.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What do you mean a curse?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
It's a drawing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And words. Was it targeted towards you or.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It was targeted towards my house?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh no, oh my god?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Are we talking like satanic ritual like.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Which which No, it's just a little bit WITCHI okay,
nothing too satanic.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Can you reveal what the curse said?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Yeah? It said?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh my god? What was it? It said? This house
is cursed and all who lived here should be cursed.
As well, this soil is poison find somewhere else to grow.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I feel like that's a that's a pretty to Okay,
it sounds like a pretty low effort just to be
like I cursed you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm so curious they did that.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, well, there was a really bad falling out. But
also why did the falling out need to be.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Ending in this curse?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Related to the events of this.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Wow Yeah for our listeners, it looks a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Dumb, a little goofy. It's the emotion that counts.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, it's the fact that I found this five weeks
after she moved out in an empty room. Like imagine
you're like, I'm cleaning the closet. I'm cleaning What the
fuck is that?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, sorry, am I allowed to curse?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Oh yeah, who gives a shit.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It's like it's like you're looking at the closet. If
you look at the closet, there's no doors, right, okay,
so you're like, oh, normal closet. And then if you
go into the closet and you turn around, so now
you're facing the room that's where it's written.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh, like just a you can't see it from the outside.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You have to get up in the closet. So what
we were doing is we were cleaning the inside of
the closet and then we saw it. Oh and I
just simply had no words.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You've managed to get rid of it, or we did.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
We called our landlord and we said, hey, our roommate
left this when she moved out. And the landlord was like, low, yeah,
that sounds like her. And then she, I think tried
to find like find my roommate. I don't know if
that worked out, but we didn't get fined for it,
and they painted over it, so that's good. We did
(03:30):
stage the house afterwards.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So you guys and the landlord were in on not
liking this roommate.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yes, very bad things happened prior to the curse. My
roommate's a legal cat was kicked out of the house.
Who kicks out in illegal essay?
Speaker 7 (03:48):
That's me and.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Cat needs a home too.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
There was accusations, there was a meeting with admin in
the cafes department and.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Yeah, oh wow, And so this was on campus housing
or was it off?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is that okay? Too much?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And my last question is do you think you and
your other roommates reaped any of the curse. Didn't anything
go crazy or go wrong after that roommate left.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You know, that week that we found the purse, it
was it was a weird week. We got this cat
from the catch alter and we were like, oh, super
cute cat. We were fostering it because our other cat
had been kicked out. And then all of a sudden,
she starts like crying. Like the cat was like actually
crying in pain. It couldn't move. Took her to the doctor.
(04:48):
She has like bone cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Oh oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I was like, okay, really cool. I forget what something else? Oh,
we went to the flea market that week and my
roommate's Forerunner, which is like like off road vehicle built
to be durable, and got stuck in the mud. Oh
and we had to have like a big strong man
with a big F one fifty like show us out.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, so maybe it was real.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Weird stuff happened that week for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Well, at least that that man was the f one
fifty was pretty happy. So I got to use the truck
for its purpose.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, I'm sure he felt great. He was like in
flip flops and like shorts and we were like covered
in mud and our forerunner what in experience, it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Was embarrassing for him overall.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah yeah, but since then you've been doing all right.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Since then, I think things have really recovered. Yeah, it
was just me and my two other roommates chilling in
the house for nine months since the curse. The incident,
as we refer to it, happened during the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's that's insane. Thank you so much. That was so welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What a start, What a start that was. That was
a great story. I don't know if any of my
stories could match up to that. Do you have any
Roomade horror stories?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Question?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
I have, I would say too, but like one of them,
like the guy was genuinely like just a nice guy
and it was just a consistent problem that happened, So
I don't really want to put that on him.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
But the other one I would say, like I would
call the that the hero of that story, a real moron,
That guy I I have no qualms with, Yeah, like
telling off, but.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of in this in a similar boat,
Like I'm still good friends with uh, most of my
old roommates from from the past three years. So I
don't want to like spit dirt on their name or
anything because I like them.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
To my friends. It's like it's kind of not worth it. Yeah,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like, you know what, Well, there is one thing that
I will dish, one thing that I will complain about.
And because I'm still on over it. You know, some
some like roommate qualms. They're really annoying when your roommates,
and then after you move out, it's like, ah, I
was part of the fun. Oh well, but this still
hurts my heart. It still gives me nightmares to this day.
(07:35):
We were moving out of my house just this past
like the beginning of summer, when I lease ended, we're
moving out. I was moving in with a couple of
my friends, and it was the last night before we
had to give our keys back to the landlord ands
(07:56):
and obviously knowing me, I waited until last night to
conduct my cleaning duties in my room and just like
kind of do last minute pick up around the house
and make sure everything was up before the landlord came
and inspected it. And I was planning to just clean
my room and maybe like wipe up my bathroom a
(08:18):
little bit because the landlord was paying for like a
deeper cleaning service. So that was my plan. So I
got there and I looked around and everything. I thought
my roommates had said that they cleaned up their stuff,
but it didn't look like it. So I was like, oh, okay,
I guess I'll like pick up their stuff too. And
(08:38):
then I entered my two of my roommate's bathroom. Mm hm,
oh my god. We lived in that place for two
years and I don't think they cleaned that bathroom elb
oh never when I tell you slime, grime, pub and
(08:58):
lou oh. It was maybe not all that, but oh
my god, it was insane. I have never seen a
shower slash bathtub that dirty, never seen a toilet that dirty,
never seen a floor that dirty. It was crazy. It
was absolutely insane. I like wiped up the bathtub just
(09:19):
along the rim of it, and it was like it
was like jel like this color. It was that consistency,
just like gel and it all accumulated. Just the most
horrendous in the world.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
You know, it reminds me that I could stand to
clean my bathroom a little more. Yes, yeah, you know,
it's a little different. My roommate his girlfriend visited from
Texas and they went surfing, so they you know, hung
the wet suits inside.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's fine. There's just shower.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Inside of our shower, there's just a corner of like
you know that has a thin layer of sand, which,
like you know, it was not great, but yeah, it
will it will have to get like washed away in
a bit.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Sure, Like yeah, okay, so we were our next guest
on the podcast. But you want to remain anonymous? No,
what about a fake name?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
JPP?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (10:18):
JP.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You seemed really excited by this question of a roommate
FI story.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
I do so. I'm a second year. Last year, I
lived in the Trinity Red bricks. I want I'm glad.
It's so great.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
But I went and blind, I like, didn't pick a
roommate off the Instagram. I want to completely blind. I
saw their names, you know, friend them on Instagram. Was great,
Like I was like, all right, I'm excited to meet
you guys, and so on. The like first day technically
second day of moving. When I got there, I was
like with my mom and I was like so excited.
First day of college. I opened the door, It's like
(10:54):
a fat cloud of.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Weed just helped me, and I was like, oh man,
I was.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Like I I smoke occasionally, you know, like a little medically,
a little recreationally, but I was not ready for this.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And it was every day.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
In this one roommate we'll call him, we'll call him
John and Paul, which is JP. And so John would
smoke every day and I love John, great guy, really nice.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But he uh heardstoner, heardstoner for sure?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Are we talking? Are we talking like joints?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
We're talking.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
We're talking bowls.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Penn.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Jay's all throughout the day, eight eight hours a day,
like NonStop, and you know, respect he did well, did
most of his work.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
But that's that's just the beginning.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
So after after a couple of months, I like, I
build up a tolerance to it. And my other roommate, Paul,
he uh, he's a very sweet guy, goes to bed
at nine, very promptly. He doesn't curse, he doesn't need
junk food. God bless his soul. And I don't know
how he put up with it. But one day he
kind of just like snapped and in the middle of
(12:01):
the night, like after the fire alarm, and I slept
through the fire alarm, got pulled and they came back.
John started like lighting up another j and Paul was like, listen, man,
I'm sick of it. And they started like full on
yelling match at probably at like seven in the morning.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
I'm like an eight am class.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I'm kind of just like slowly putting my pants on,
just like watching this, and they're started doing it. And
eventually he gets his like nice probably a couple hundred
dollars long, and just throws it at the door, like
at him John Dugs and it breaks against the door
and just shatters everywhere.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
And then from there it was just like I'm sure
you can imagine how he reacted.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
It was not great.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
And from there I was very on my toes for
it was towards end of the year, but I was
on my toes creeping around.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Both of them for the rest of the year. And
they made nice. They were we all ended friends.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
But I definitely had my trials and tribulations and Trinity
red bricks.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Damn, oh shit, so did the did the did the
weed smoking?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
He continued, and we kind of just had like tolerted
we I'm sure we had our own you know, quirks,
but definitely the biggest stone I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And it was disruptive.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It was disruptive, but I guess it made me really
chill at the end of the day, and that's probably
why we were able.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
To tolerate it. That's my horror story. It was really
I was waiting to tell this story. This is perfect.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's a really good glad.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Did you ever get to the benefits or was he
very protective?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
He would he would share with everyone that could be great.
I don't even know where, like endless supply of just
like pure bud and wax and dabs, like I don't
know where it came from.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
But he had it.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
But when his parents came for like parents' weekend, he
would like hide it also like vanquished, like thin air,
like fairy godparent style.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I don't know, like I don't know. It's dual lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What a master an.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
I love it. That's my horror story.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Thank you, Thank you for sharing.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Of course that's what.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
We're here for, I know, right, Yeah. Weed is a
pretty contentious topic.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It is.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
It is.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I don't know how it is for women, but men
are big fans of weeds.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
These days, I would say women are too.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I don't live there.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Don't want to make any assumptions, you know, I'm just saying,
like with so, you know, if there's always like one
roommate who smokes weed and the first set my room,
the first room I had in Trinity all those years ago,
like totally like default white guy, I would say, so
no weed for him. I don't even think he drank alcohol. If, like,
(14:48):
if very much love that guy. Then the next year
I moved out to off campus housing. I had three roommates.
They were all varying degree of chill. One of them
I've come to like basically hate for the most part.
One of them, you know, super nice guy, really liked him,
(15:09):
saved his life.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That was that was rough, But I really liked that guy.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
If I have the courage to talk to him again,
I probably would. And then the other guy was like,
you know, total military boy. So I think he only
like took in a little bit of alcohol. He was
kind of like Paul from the previous guys story, right,
like you know, straight bedtime, like you know, always did
his duties and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Great guy.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Yeah, and then I forgot to keep talking to him.
But still have his number somewhere.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
But so those guys were pretty okay. And the the
middle roommate that I mentioned he was he'd like, you know,
did a lot of drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
He partied.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
His main thing was alcohol, but like he always mostly
did it like outside at a different party, so it
was outside. But then the next year, Uh, I was
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
It was Hugh.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
He smoked once in the apartment. I went out there
and like, dude, I can smell it. It's really powerful.
Because we shared a wall.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I was like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
He's like, I'm sorry, I was just just testing it
and let me into Yeah. And so then he did
it somewhere else. I didn't smell for her as a year.
Great guy, shut up.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
We love you.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Sometimes I think I could have been a better roommate,
but you know, great guy. And then after I have
another roommate who I share the wall with. Uh, and uh,
he smokes a little more frequently, and we all told him, like, dude,
we can smell it, but we're all varying degrees of
like okay with it, but like sometimes it's like dude,
(16:45):
you gotta just slow down. He like goes to the
sliding door and like, you know, does it right next
to the window, But at least for me the window
it curls back to my window.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So it's a bit rough.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
So some I have, like I literally have bottles of
this and I just stick my nose in it occasionally
to smell something nicer. Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's a there's a there's a method to the madness.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
I think if I were to be put inside a
Paul's story, i'd probably lose my ship too.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Yeah, I don't know if I would like go destruction
of property, but I would. I would be yelling at
the guy like you gotta stop, dude.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, I think i'd probably agree. If my clothes start
smelling like whatever you're looking up.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
If I started smelling like we'ed, I would like that'd
probably be like one of my breaking points.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It is. It is pretty cool that he was willing
to share his stuff. If he was like lighting it
up and saying, no, you can't have any, that would
be crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You're just giving me secondhand weak exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
In freshman year, I had chosen my roommates Ruby. We're
still roommates. My best friend love her to death, and
we got in a situation where we were they it
was us two, and then they signed us a random
(18:06):
third roommate in YAK two two, And for a couple
different reasons, that third roommate, like a week before school started,
was like, never mind, I'm gonna go live somewhere else.
So Ruby and I were chilling three person dorm, two people.
It was the luxury of life. We were on top
of the world. We thought nothing could stop us. And
then November hit and University Housing emailed us and they said, hey,
(18:30):
in a week, somebody's going to be moving in a
third roommate. Oh, And we were like, oh no, our
freedom is gone. That made ended up being really nice,
new cool. There were a couple instances where we didn't
we clashed, but it wasn't because of who we were
as people. She's still super nice. There was a couple
(18:54):
instances though, where she did get sick. Oh, and the
bad news is she was on the top bunk and
I was on the bottom. The first instance was out
of any of our control, so I won't talk about that.
But the second instance was just I think a little
bit of stupidity because she decided to take Bena drill.
(19:20):
She was like feeling a little bit sick whatever, And
then she went to a party drank and everyone knows
that when you drink alcohol and take ben a drill,
it doesn't mix at all. I thought that was common knowledge,
but apparently it wasn't. And so my roommate and I
returned to our room to the gorgeous smell of bile.
(19:43):
It was leaking down onto my bed.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh no, did get on.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Ruby's favorite stuff animal? Oh it was crazy. So that
night Ruby and I we made what was called the
dream bid, which is when we went to the the
what's it called the.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Room, the common room, the common room, and.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We pushed all the couches together and fell asleep there
in a big, big bed. Good time at that time,
worst day of my life. But looking back, it was
pretty funny. It was pretty fun Well, it's kind.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Of funny and the like.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, But I'm sure that girl has learned her
lesson and she is thriving now. She'll never take ben
a drill and alcohol alcohol at the same time again.
And I'm happy for her. And she knows that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
She had a life experience, and.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So did we, and so did we and to never
sleep on the bottom bunk.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I thankfully got the top bunk and the bottom was
the desk, so it was just me in my bed.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
That's pretty idea.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Hello there, bok the chatterbox. Would you like to remain
anonymous or does it not?

people think it's fun.

kind of directly into the.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Like, buddy, same. You don't have to wear the headphones,
just so you're very clear. You do have to be
a little closer to the microphone.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Most like, I don't know. That's rough. That's really rough.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I was like, what kind of like what kind of
place did you live with?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What's what's your first story?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
A last year?
Speaker 10 (23:34):
Most of the times I come back to my room.
I find my roommates sleeping in the carpet that my
roommate bought that. Oh he's naping there, and I usually
just step over him. That's pretty much it was.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
It a really just a constant obstruction.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
It's not it's not really obstructing me. It's just like strange.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Was it a really really comfory carpet though? Yeah, yeah,
I did it too, so.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
A carpet not as much as him. So who got
the carpet?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Uh? I think.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Not using the carpet to its full potential?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Wait was it you guys had a banana in the middle.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Of the room.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's a good start. Clearly I forgot that room banana.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I don't know. Maybe it was someone else. They had
a banana peel in the middle of the room. It
was rotting, and he loved it for like months.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh my god, it's like the it's the it's the
cheese from U. Don't touch it the banana. Touch the banana.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Oh that's not wrong, Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Well yeah, it's supposed to be a bad thing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, it's a moldy banana.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I'll speaking of moldy stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I think another friend of mine had like a moldy
pumpkin in the corner of the room now, because her
roommate was like, she carved a pumpkin for Halloween and
it was molding for basically weeks. Had a like an
atrocious smell of that.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
I mean, pumpkin is do not smell very good in
the first place, so a rotting one can't be that good.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, it was literally rotting in the room and she
had to take it out, even.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Though that was not her response, someone's got to do
it at that point.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, that's not that was not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
At least it wasn't the banana at least.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That was like so many I heard so many bad things.
I don't know, nothing really bad happened for me.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Man and my fortune.

a REMI horror story and freshman year. Yes, freshman year,
dorm roommate, random, random roommate, slot machine handle them.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
So I guess the story goes that I was hanging
out at someone else's dorm and I needed to grab
something from my room.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So I walk in and I.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
See my roommate and her boyfriend and they're like coughing,
and so I'm in there for probably like a minute,
and I'm coughing too, and I'm like, okay, that's kind
of weird. So then I leave and then I'm like, oh, shoot,
I forgot one other thing. So then I come back
in and I'm immediately like coughing again just by entering
the room, and I noticed that, like, yeah, she's coughing,
(27:43):
and I'm like, huh, it's kind of weird that we're
all coughing. And then she was like, oh yeah, haha.
My boyfriend sprayed pepper spray in.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Her room to see how it works in a confined space.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, I was just like what.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
And yeah, I didn't really like I'm not like a
confrontational person, so I wasn't like why, sorry, why did
you do that?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I just kind of left. It's like, dang, that is insane.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
And then one of my really good friends lived right
below us inside because I think he like tried to
straight out the window and it was a screen window,
so it kind of gets stuck and it like dripped
down and he's like, I swear it's on my screen
as well because he's just one below.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
No, that is idiotic. That is crazy. How long did
it take for the smell to get out? Hmmm? I'd
say like two days. I wouldn't spend much time in
my room though. Yeah, oh my goodness, what was it?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Hit?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Did he did he own the pepper spray?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I don't know who's pepper spray was for, so I
was like, because I had pepper spray, I don't think
my roommate had it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So it was kind of like, didn't they use my peppers?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Too?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, all right, Well, thank you. Yes, that's crazy, so
sorry that happened. No, it's all right, it's more of
like a story now, it's yeah.
