My roommate is an exchange student from Hong Kong, and we don't really talk much for whatever reason (probably because we're both boring people). The only thing I don't like about the guy is that he's on Skype all the ****ing time and he talks really loudly when he's making a call. But hey, you're never going to get a perfect roomie and a guy who's on the phone all day isn't that bad.
Bad would be one of the roommates I had my freshman year of college (back then I lived in an apartment-style dorm with three other guys). The guy acted like he was from the ghetto in that he was obnoxious, noisy, and had friends who were even more obnoxious and noisy, and they all generally acted like retards. He had a habit of throwing these really bull**** parties every now and then that would result in a massive amount of trash that he refused to clean up ("it's not my trash, it's my friends'" he would say...we had to spend like an hour on a couple occasions explaining to him the social rule that whatever your friends do when they're over you're responsible for).
And he was gay Not that this would normally be a problem, I don't have anything against gay people, but the problem was that he didn't try to hide it. And I don't mean he flaunted his sexuality but rather that when he was having sex he made no effort to hide the fact that he was having sex. Like instead of staying in the bedroom to do that kind of stuff he and his boyfriend would instead choose to do their thing in the shower. And even when they did stay in the bedroom they were noisy as hell. For example, the poor guy that had the suite room next to said roommate told me of a time during the night when he heard them roaring with laughter before one of them said "quit laughin' and put yo **** back in". Oh, and all his friends were homosexual. Like one time when it was just me and him in the dorm he threw one of his damn parties and I made the mistake of coming out of my dorm room to find two girls on top of each other underneath a blanket on the couch...yeah...
But the epitomy of what we had to deal with with this guy was one night when he broke up with his boyfriend. It started at probably 11 pm or 12 am, and lasted until like 9 ****ing am. Basically they broke up and the now ex-boyfriend started bawling and screaming "oh no, don't do this to me (name of roommate), don't do this! Please man, please!". Our roommate went into his room and locked the door, and the other guy just stayed outside the door crying and repeating that sentence over and over again for the entire ****ing night, eventually just curling into a ball on the floor outside the door when he started getting tired. But here's the best part: About halfway through this our roommate opens the door to tell him to shut up and leave. The ex-bf then tries to hold the door open by the corner but our roommate slams it shut anyway, thus seriously cutting the guy's hand. So what does this guy do? Does he leave the room and go get it fixed up? No, he instead proceeds to walk around the dorm bleeding all over everything. So the next morning when I woke up to go to class along with one of my other roomies we were greeted by blood all over the walls with the mumbling shell of a human being crumpled in front of the door.
So, yeah, if you think your roommate sucks try living with that for a year.
