Al Gore Junior told everyone that his college roommate was Tommy Lee Jones.
Do you think that Tommy Lee Jones bothered telling ANYONE that his college roommate was Al Gore Junior?
Vice President of College Democrats. 1992.
Ah yes, the (pre-computer) solitaire addict. He kept a record of every game. Playing solitaire, studying, and attending classes was all he ever did. He was boredom incarnate. I would eventually learn that by comparison to a typical roommate, he was magnificent.
I dont get number 6. Whats so horrible about that?
During my extremely short college career, one guy in the dorm used Lysol as deodorant and never once took a shower.
I don’t think the flies would even land on him.
#15.
Hilariously disturbing
Boot camp is just as weird. There was one guy who on the first day looked like he hadn’t had a bath in a week. There was another guy who would pick up random people’s towels and underwear after he took a shower.
I’m lucky my college roomie didn’t read this or I’d be one of the entries. BTT
My freshman roommate was obsessed with Celine Dione. A bunch of us were watching WWF wrestling one night and one guy saw my roommate’s Celine Dione poster and said,”I wish the Rock (he’s a wrestler) would put ‘the Rock Bottom’ (the Rock’s signature move) on Celine Dione. My roommate, who could literally bench press 450lbs, picked the guy up by his throat and screamed at the guy to never talk that way about Celine Dione again. The rest of us were rolling on the floor laughing too hard to help the poor guy. He didn’t come to any more WWF watching parties.
Bookmarking for the inevitable barracks tales!
I had two Viet Namese room mates. It was terrible. They would have buddies come over and they would start playing pai gow and that would last 3 sometimes 4 days straight.
My freshman roommate snored like crazy. It sounded like an unmuffled, idling car engine.
I would keep a broom next to my bed to poke him when it got too loud. First a poke, then a second, stronger poke. If that didn’t work, a smash on his chest.
We actually become pretty good friends.
It was the last time I ever saw him.
I opened the door to the four-bedroom apartment, and the entire apartment was ankle-deep in trash. No exaggeration. Apparently, he never took out the trash. Fortunately, there weren't too many horseflies, because he killed them with RAID. The empty canisters were scattered all over the apartment.
But the best was yet to come. I put down my cooler with food and opened the refrigerator door. I was hit by a blast wave of hot stench. Apparently, he wasn't paying his electric bill, and the electricity had been shut off. Needless to say, he never emptied the fridge. The entire fridge was a solid green ball of mold.
True story.
It took a long time to clean that apartment.
Mine was engrossed in Dungeons and Dragons 24/7. The most bizarre phone conversations I ever heard. I can only imagine the alternate reality games that guy lives in today.
First roommate was a psycho with serious mommy issues. Never said “she’s a nice girl.” It was always “that b****” or worse. He went after Asian girls because he thought they would be submissive. Wanted to be a doctor like dad but had hairdresser mom’s brains. Took 22 hours the semester I lived with him, and would pull all-nighters studying while on speed. B’s weren’t going to get him to med school though. Once I came into the room to see him pointing a .357 out the window, saying “I could kill that b****. I could kill that dick, too.”
Waaaaaay too tightly wrapped.
1978: My roomie was sexing one of the cafeteria girls in our room so I went down to the dorm lobby and watched football with the current NFL Commish.
I was the roommate from hell in college.
When I was going off to college I got placed with a roommate who was a preaacher’s son. Shortly after moving in I found out he was GAY. I managed to move to another room QUICKLY.
After dropping out and joining the Navy, I encountered a sailor on my ship who believed the boot camp warning about dropping the soap in the shower. He would not bathe on the ship. Our shipmates fixed that. He woke up in the middle of the night with a pillowcase over his head, was dragged into the head where he was stripped and cleaned with scalding hot water, scouring powder, and scrub brushes.
