Onward State Roommate Horror Stories: Share Your Experiences

Communication is key. Before moving in together, have a clear conversation about expectations regarding cleanliness, noise levels, and borrowing things. For example, set specific rules like 'We clean the kitchen every Sunday' or 'No loud noises after 10 pm'.

Once I had a roommate who brought strangers home all the time without warning. It made me feel very unsafe. And this roommate also ate my food from the fridge without permission. I had to label everything in the end just to protect my own food. It was really a horrible experience living with such a roommate.

One of my roommate horror stories was when my roommate would never clean up after themselves. Dirty dishes piled up in the sink for days, and the whole apartment smelled bad. It was so frustrating because I tried to talk to them about it, but they just didn't care.

My roommate once brought home a stray cat without telling me. I'm allergic to cats. When I came back to our room, my eyes started watering and I was sneezing non - stop. I was really mad at him at first. But he felt so bad about it and found a new home for the cat quickly. It was a scary situation for me health - wise though.

One time my roommate was always leaving the lights on. So I taped a motion - sensitive alarm near the light switch. Every time he went to turn it on, the alarm went off and scared him half to death.

My former roommate was extremely noisy at night. They would have friends over late and they'd be shouting, playing loud music. I tried to talk to them about it, but they didn't care. I couldn't get a good night's sleep for weeks. It affected my studies and my mood. I ended up moving out as soon as I could.

Well, in my case, my roommate was really noisy at night. He would play loud music or have friends over late, and it was impossible to sleep. I tried talking to him about it, but he said he was just having fun. It got so bad that I ended up sleeping with earplugs every night. It was a nightmare.

I had a roommate who brought in a lot of old, dusty dolls. They were really creepy - some with missing eyes or limbs. At night, I could swear I heard them whispering. I tried to talk to my roommate about it, but she just said I was imagining things. However, the dolls seemed to be in different positions every morning, and the feeling of unease just grew stronger as time passed.

My former roommate had a really strange habit. He collected dead insects and pinned them on a board in our shared room. The sight of those lifeless bugs everywhere was disgusting and terrifying. It made the whole room feel like some sort of horror movie set. I was so glad when I finally moved out.

A girl I knew had a roommate who would borrow her things without asking. Clothes, makeup, books, you name it. And sometimes she would even damage the borrowed items. The girl felt so violated but didn't know how to handle it at first. She was too nice to confront the roommate right away, which made the situation worse as time went on.
