I've had many...
1) in college I lived in an apartment style dorm with a guy who would talk constant filth about women, punched the walls all the time, ate everyone elses food and always would follow everyone around. After I moved out with him he finally snapped like I thought he would (living with men kind of made him keep it in check a bit) and began stealing his two female roommates underwear and when they kicked him out wrote 'Fuck you Bitches' in his blood on the living room wall.

but the winner
was a guy in college who I shared a room with who wanted to put up a wall-sized Led Zeppelin poster that looked like a D&D book cover but when I refused plastered the wall with pictures of Che and Che themed RATM posters.

I don't know, I'd say the panty-sniffing blood-writer is the clear winner here, even if the Led Zeppelin dude did threaten to beat you up.

Fuck yes! What did he do? How did he not kill you?

Well I hid out for a couple days, and then we were both called into a meeting with some administration people.  Yuri said he was sorry and that he was dropping out anyway(i think he was flunking out).  They made us shake hands and promise to avoid each other until he left the college, promising to get the cops involved if any more threats or funny business occurred.  I volunteered to stay at a friend's apartment for a couple of weeks.

I had to apologize to the professors who got the email, got reamed out by some Dean of something, and was put on disciplinary probation.  It was worth it, though, if only to prove to my parents that it wasn't me who'd made the phone-sex calls.  (I don't think they'd been entirely convinced until I sent them Yuri's father's check.)

But yes, Todd, I'm still waiting for him to find and kill me someday.

You're right, Junk - I probably ruined at least his late adolescence. I do have some regret and would handle it differently these days.  But he was good-looking and had a ton of money, so I'm sure he landed on his feet, provided his father didn't disown him.

My mom and dad gave me one of those toggle Tiffany necklaces with my initials engraved on it for my graduation. I didn't wear it much, but it meant a lot to me. She stole the necklace, SCRATCHED OUT MY INITIALS and when I asked her about it she claimed that she got it in Chinatown or something, even though I could clearly see where the initials had been scratched out.

Not sure why, but this one creeped me out even more than Eric's blood-writer.

My freshman roommate in college was pretty terrible.

-He was a Drama major.
-He listened to the Rent soundtrack a lot.
-Also "Walking to Memphis."
-He wore a beret.
-More than once he left the "I'm in our room having sex" sign on our door all night, meaning I would be locked out and have to sleep in the common room or a friend's room.
-He had sex with his girlfriend while I was sleeping in the same room.
-He tried to date-rape a girl while I was sleeping in the same room.
-After two pregnancy scares with two different girls, he got his girlfriend pregnant. They didn't do anything about it until she was almost 6 months pregnant. At that point she had to drive down to Philly to get an abortion (the school was in Allentown). He didn't go with her, didn't support her at all, emotionally or financially.

I had a roommate who was so lame, she got kicked out of Wicca.  What kind of person gets kicked out of Wicca?

She also bought urine on the black market to pass a drug test. She taped a tube of the urine to her leg so she could get it into the doctor's office unnoticed.  She also never cleaned up after her cat, so the place stank and the cat's dingleberries were all over the apartment.  Her boyfriend was constantly drunk and would show up at the apartment in the middle of the night and talk full-volume.

Even worse than the roommate was the person we were subletting from. She was a freelance paparazzi photographer and Jon Kennedy Jr. had a restraining order against her. One corner of our apartment had a pile of photo albums ceiling-high of JFK Jr. doing all imaginable things...jogging, eating, sunbathing, etc.  When I told her that I saw JFK Jr. with Darryl Hannah on Martha's Vineyard, she nearly strangled me for not getting a picture, because their relationship had not made the tabloids yet.

Anyway, one day for no reason, she changed the locks on us and decided she didn't want us subletting anymore...the day I needed to get in and get my suit to be the best man at a wedding.

Thank God those days are behind me. Now my roommate is my wife. She's never been kicked out of Wicca.

Can we infer that she is a paparazza?

My worst roommate doesn't hold a candle to the super-creeps inhabiting this post.

I went to a small Christian college for a couple years but that didn't mean anything to a roommate who after getting his girlfriend pregnant decided the best way to take care of the situation was to completely disappear after stealing $120 from my wallet (the only cash I had for food and laundry).

His replacement the next semester started selling weed on campus, bringing all the creepiest elements into the room and onto our patio.  One morning when I showed up to work at my campus security job I got a call from local law enforcement checking up on the stolen car report.  It turned out my roommate "borrowed" a car from a Japanese student, probably the nicest girl on campus, and never returned.  After awhile I decided to box up all his stuff and discovered a whole lot of gross in the space between his bed and the wall.

I'm no doctor, but that sounds a bit on the late side.
Back-alley abortion, maybe?

besides this one: http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,1952.msg27959.html#msg27959

the roommate i had BEFORE that nutjob was in her fifties.  it was a lady my mom knew from work who was paying her son's bills/bail/rent and (not surprisingly) was evicted from her apartment because she couldnt pay her own bills.  i felt bad (not knowing anything about her past or paying her son's bills) and took her in under the impression she would move out in a month or two.  in the meantime, she stole money from me ALL the time, smoked like a chimney, and went through my batteries like crazy.*  needless to say, i stopped keeping cash in my wallet and she moved out NINE months later.



*this was before ipods so i used a cd player at work, needing an endless supply of batteries.  but i noticed i was ending up with an odd amount of batteries frequently.  seeing that my cd player used an even number of batteries, i knew she was stealing these as well.  i brushed it off until one day i needed something that was kept in the closet in her room (used for general purposes) and on the table next to her bed i saw a small-enough-for-one-battery-operation vibrator next to an ENORMOUS bottle of baby oil.  i hid my batteries after that discovery.  gross.
