It's damn expensive to live on your own, which forces students to live in close quarters with roommates. Roommates are like family members without the genetic connection, which makes them so much easier to despise.
I haven't had many good roommates... for the most part, I've lived with people that I've felt antipathy towards.
The great thing about having terrible roommates, though, is the sheer number of fantastic stories that you can tell.
Little Angry Doll has lived with her fair share of nasty people, and she's lived to write about it. And it makes for some delicious reading:
"2. The Just Out of the Closet Xena Warrior Princess Fan Fiction Writer. She’d been a Manning Bar/Forrest Lodge friend for a few years and we knew what we were in for. In a weak, weak moment, we took her in.
She took off with the rent, to a Xena convention in Pasadena with a German lesbian she’d met on the net. We chalked it up as our fault for letting her in in the first place. Then we saw the phone bill. Before she left, she’d run up nearly a thousand dollars. I still have your camera. Come and get it. I dare you."
Whew...
Little Angry Doll, I have to admit something... in my mind, a Lesbian Xena Warrior wannabe is a pretty hot visual. It'd almost be worth the $1000 in phone charges. Where was she calling? The Moon?
Myself, I can't compare to Little Angry Doll. I did partially live with a guy that turned out to be hooked on meth, but I moved out before he started selling his stuff to buy more meth.
I lived with a guy that came home drunk one night and pretended to pee on me. When I realized what was happening, I threatened him with a knife, but he quickly explained that it was just water.
Sure, it's terrible to live with people you hate, but, in the end, it's almost too bad that I didn't.

"He Died With A Falafel In His Hand" was a cult hit book by John Birmmingham. All about the Hell that is share houses, "Falafel" also became the longest running play in Australia, then a movie. Read the book - skip the movie.
The first story about a flat mate who actually died on JB, with a falafel in his hand - hence the title.
The Tofu refers to one of my dreadful ghosts of household past. Sadly, we didn't get rid of him as easily.

Comment by Sisi
I've never understood what the big deal is about guys leaving the toilet seat up...it literally takes 2 seconds if that to put it back down...

Honestly should I ever live with someone else, I think I"ll be the annoyance not them. Thats not to say I'm going to steal all the money available and run off to switzerland for a Xena convention with a lesbian... she'd have to be straight...
