I had a roommate who would use my things without asking. He would take my shampoo, my clothes, and even my food. One time, I caught him wearing my favorite shirt to a party without permission. It was so frustrating because I felt like he had no respect for my personal belongings.
I'm not sure specifically which 'the unwanted room mate' story you are referring to. There could be many stories with such a title. It might be about a person who has a roommate that causes problems like being noisy, messy, or having bad habits. Maybe the roommate doesn't pay their share of the rent on time or is generally unpleasant to be around.
One common type is the cleanliness issue. Like a roommate who never takes out the trash or cleans the bathroom. Another is the noise problem, such as a roommate who blares music or has noisy guests late at night. Also, there are those who steal or use others' stuff without permission.
One possible plot could be that the unwanted roommate is extremely untidy. They leave dirty dishes everywhere, clothes all over the place, and don't clean up after themselves. This makes the living environment unpleasant for the other roommate.
Well, I knew a guy whose room mate in the Air Force was a kleptomaniac. He would steal small things from him like his favorite pen or a book. It was really creepy because he never knew what else might go missing. And when he confronted the room mate, the room mate just denied it.
One possible horror story could be that your room mate in the Air Force has really bad hygiene. They never clean up after themselves, leaving dirty clothes and unwashed dishes everywhere. It makes the living space unbearable and can even attract bugs.
Another common horror story is the inconsiderate roommate. For example, they use the other person's things without asking. One of my classmates had a roommate who used his shampoo, conditioner and even his towel without permission.
One of my friends had a roommate who never cleaned. The room smelled so bad all the time. There were dirty dishes everywhere and piles of unwashed clothes. My friend tried to talk to him, but he just didn't care.
Perhaps she is telling a story about a time when she overcame her fears. For example, she might talk about how she faced her fear of heights by climbing a very tall mountain. She could describe the process of conquering that fear, step by step, and how it made her feel stronger.
