Food left out for too long is also a typical dorm room dirty horror story. I knew a dorm where a student left a pizza box on their desk for days. Eventually, bugs started to appear, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them and clean the area.
In a dorm room down the hall, someone had a leaky water bottle in their backpack for weeks. It soaked all their books and created a damp, smelly mess. The whole room smelled like mildew until they threw out the damaged stuff and aired it out.
Some dorm room horror stories are related to bad smells. Imagine coming back to your dorm and being greeted by a horrible stench that you can't figure out where it's coming from. It could be a rotting piece of food stuck somewhere or a mold problem. There are also stories of getting locked in the bathroom. The door handle breaks, and you're stuck in there until someone comes to rescue you. And then there are those stories about pranks that go too far. For instance, a roommate might put a fake spider in your bed, and if you're arachnophobic, it can be a real nightmare.
One horror story is about a student who constantly heard strange scratching noises coming from inside the walls at night. It was so loud that it kept her awake. She reported it to the dorm management but they found nothing. Later, she found out that a raccoon had made a nest in the attic above her room.
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.
Yes, I once had a roommate who was a total slob. He would leave his dirty clothes and dishes all over the place. The smell was unbearable, and it attracted bugs. It was like living in a pigsty. I had to constantly clean up after him just to keep the dorm room somewhat livable.
There was this case where a girl's hairbrush in the dorm started to move on its own. She thought she was seeing things at first. But then it happened again when her roommate was also in the room. They were both really freaked out. Later they found out that there was a loose wire in the wall behind the dresser that was causing some kind of electrical interference which made the hairbrush vibrate in a really strange way.
Once, a group of dorm mates decided to have a blindfolded taste - test. They got all kinds of strange and random foods from the cafeteria and took turns blindfolding each other and trying to guess what they were eating. There were some really gross - out moments when someone would think they were eating chocolate pudding but it was actually liver mush. It was hilarious to see everyone's reactions.
Sure. There are stories of roommates who are gay and they decorate their dorm room together in a really cool way. They bond over their common taste in movies and books, often having late - night discussions about their favorite directors or authors. They also introduce each other to new friends within the gay community on campus, which helps them expand their social circles in a positive and healthy way.
