Anyone ever been in a similar situation where you moved in with someone you had a shaky past with for whatever reason? How did it go?

Crap like this is why I have my own place now even though it costs me way too much.

I used to have a roommate that would not wash a single dish until every dish was dirty. We'd take turns; I'd wash the dishes one evening, and then it was supposed to be their turn the next evening. But they'd just not do them because not washing anything was their way of trying to pressure me into washing everything all the time. I was more fastidious and they knew it.

It got to the point where they were eating breakfast cereal out of saucepans and pasta out of teacups. I still wouldn't cave. It was their turn. I'd vacuum and mop every time, and do every other chore but there was no way I was going to do literally every aspect of housework. So it ended up as a race to the bottom with their standard of filth dominating the kitchen.

>be me from Michigan
>Boyfriend says hey come to Washington and stop living a shitty life 60+ hours/week and not having a decent wage. Also we movin' in with a roommate
>ok. so I travel over and it's fucking horrible because humidity fucked with my hair and sweat all over but he didn't care
>live with room mate who is also a army guy leaving due to health conditions as a result of serving.


Now that we're caught up, this shit head was horrible. He had no utensils or plates for food so while my boyfriend and I were saving for some dinnerware, he would use them with permission but then leave a mountain of dishes in the sink or return moldy spaghetti-o looking dishes when he felt like it.
He was into D&D and invited his army friends over without permission. He and the others drank a shitton and left puddles of dried beer and sticky cans all over. some of these cans were on my sewing desk (antique Singer). I told my boyfriend and we laid out some rules. He still did it.
Then he got butthurt saying we couldn't let him have guests. We were totally not doing that we just expected himself to clean after himself if he's going to have guests over. He decides to be a neet and literally hole himself in until he wanted food, then he'd go downstairs to the gas station and get a surplus of junk food. We didn't know how bad with was until we cleaned out the room when he left and there was a huge black stain on the floor where we assumed he dropped soda but didn't clean it. He also thought "moving stuff" meant putting all of your junk in a huge fridge moving box and leaving it for us to go through. We found things he obviously stole from the base like foam padding (which can be sold for alot of money), a literal chain link, a small boat anchor, etc.

Later on he decided that he was going to move into the apartment of another friend's but he decided no since who would want that. We had a cat that we rescued from the past manager but this cat was murderous. He took it with him and sometimes told my boyfriend he could only afford to feed it cheetos.

tldr: set rules for everyone on board, make sure your shitty room mate DOES pay rent and accounts for their own utensils, food etc, and when they move out, charge a cleaning fee if they are a slob.

GOOD LORD

This is an essential rule all roommate situations should have that goes way too overlooked: if you can't afford or take the time to properly take care of a pet, DON'T GET ONE. I had a roommate who would ask to borrow money for cat food all the time and was late for rent once because her cat randomly got some kind of infection and the antibiotics were beyond what she could afford.

My friend's roommate literally does not clean anything, at all, ever. He lets the trash can overfill, then removes the bag, puts it on the floor, and throws trash into the unlined trash bin. Their sink is full of mold and I don't even want to know what their bathroom looks like. I was supposed to move in with them but I had to make other arrangements and sweet fuck am I glad I did.

This has been the case in literally every disastrously disgusting house I've ever been in. The second someone says they're not responsible for the mess, I just assume they're the main contributor because in my experience that is 100% always the case.

I left it in the trash but fuck, I should have asked my roomates which one did it because it's so disgusting to waste food like this.

Other than that I live in a dorm where we're provided a lot of stuff like toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap… But we have to throw the trash ourselves and the others are obviously fighting to not have to do it, letting the trash pile up util you can't close the bin anymore. It's the worst with the tiny bin in the toilet. Thanks god I use a cup so I don't have to deal with their nastiness.

I've been lucky with roommates usually but the one thing that always causes trouble is the kitchen.
I think its best to have a schedule for who's turn it is to clean it, and have a list of things that need to be done each time.
Also if you use the pots or pans, clean them after.

>Has literally never cleaned beyond moving piles of random junk to a different spot.

>Hooks up with locally acclaimed scumbag. He steals cars and deals meth for a living, and he stores a stolen car in our yard for a fortnight. Fat-j demands that i cover for him if the cops arrive.

>Fat-j doesn't like to buy her own groceries, so instead she blows her entire welfare payment on a half ounce of pot, a slab of candy vodka mixers, and new clothes, then steals my food and threatens to stop paying her share of rent if I don't supply her with groceries. I already buy all the cleaning products she refuses to use. She has also sneakily stopped paying her rent by now because she thinks this is a brilliant way to have more spending money.
>wears a size 14-16, only purchases clothing in size 8-12 unless passive-aggressively buying me plus-sized gifts because I am a sad and-chan.

>my boyfriend starts staying over. He supplies food, pot/drinks, and drives fat-J anywhere if she asks. She demands he pay her for use of the shower and toilet and that he supplies groceries, not just the meals he buys and cooks for us all.


>fat-j is a loud masturbator and has no problem with doing this while i have company. I will occasionally be banned from your own lounge room because she is masturbating or sleeping with someone.


>fat-j refuses to take her medication properly, and begins having psychotic symptoms. Conveniently these only occur when I am not paying attention to her.


>she regularly has family fights and will drag me into them. This also happens with friends, doctors, and hook-ups she meets via Facebook.


> fat-j has a cat. It's a rag doll, beautiful little fluffy lady. The cat gets fleas. Fat-j does not buy flea treatments. The cat starts flicking blood on the walls and couch, and is sticky to the touch due to scabs and bites. Begins sleeping in her litter box which is rarely emptied. The cat does not go to the vets. No flea treatment is purchased. The cat remains this way and is put in her room when visitors come so they won't see her. Fat-j threatens me about calling animal control/ASPCA

I'm glad I met my bf not too long after starting grad school because I had the worst luck with roommates.

The first time, I had to move out of my parent's house quickly because they were moving out of state. It was already the end of fall semester, so I had to find living for spring. I found an ad on CL posted by a landlord looking for a room to be filled at a property.
Two male business undergrads had already been living there for half a year.
I got the biggest room with the walk-in closet.
Apparently the boys were really salty at the landlord and me because I had 'taken' their space that was intended for one of their friends to move into, even though that wasn't my fault.

We bonded over smoking weed for awhile and the first couple months were chill, but then they started doing a range of other drugs (stupid shit like whippets) and they became really messy and crazy.

All of the dishware was mine, so before I moved in the boys were living on delivery and campus food. They scratched up my pots and pans, and would pile my (glass) hand me down cups into the sink and not clean them. They'd get especially agitated when I refused to do sinks of dishes full of THEIR dirtied crap. In retaliation, they started to break my dishes claiming that it was an 'accident' and had I just cleaned their dish piles, the 'accidents' would stop happening. They'd argue because I had two cups in the sink that were mine, that would justify piles of pots caked with mac-n-cheese as my cleaning duty.
I refused. I had an eating disorder at the time, so I knew I wasn't using any dishes to justify washing sinks full of theirs! They were also salty that I only had two or three days of classes a week (um, grad student?) and didn't have a demanding part time job, so they made fun of me for being at home…implying I was lazy somehow.

Before spring break, they had cooked a munchie-palooza and left to go back home knowing full well I had no place to go home to.
I shit you not, they left me a double sink full of dishes and a huge vat that they cooked macaroni in the night before. I did the two cups that were mine from the pile, and put all their dirty dishes into the vat and onto the floor.
But I enjoyed the week and a half of clean living I had while they were away.
Oh man, when they came back they were SCREAMING furious at me. One boy who had always been particularly condescending towards me (constantly high on xannies and had gf problems) started leaving me passive aggressive notes and yelling at me like a parent because I wouldn't clean up after their shit. One day he got so pissy he said that at the beginning they were only acting chill with me and confessed they were salty about me "stealing" the room away from their drug dealer friend.

I got petty and started pinching their weed when they weren't home. That's how much I grew to hate them. Just figured if I was going to be treated like a maid then they'd owe me some free weed.

They tried to give me some sort of faux 'apology' at the end of the year, but it was all bullshit by then. I fucking hate those boys and how they made my first experience from home a hell.

Even worse when you're a clean person but they treat you like the slob because you won't clean their filth.

I think one time I cleaned the bathroom thoroughly with harsh chemicals (it's gross enough with one boy, but two..) and when I finished the boy sarcastically said "Mmm, chemical smell" like I was supposed to have cleaned with fresh lavender or some other scent to their liking. Like they had never disinfected before and had no idea what the smell was like to not assume I hadn't just sprayed random chemical crap everywhere and it was supposed to smell that way.

Second roommate story is about my second year in grad school.

By this time I had given up on slumlords from CL and bit the bullet to go live in a campus townhouse; something I regret doing because half of my grad loan is just from the rent expense of that place.
I still didn't know anyone well enough to ask to room with me so the townhouse staff tried to assign me with other roommate-less people.

The first girl was a complete Stacey stereotype, and as soon as she added me on fb decided I was weird and told the staff she found another person. Which left me with the undergrad male applicant with really bad handwriting.
I was moved in before the semester, so the boy and his parents showed up to move in his stuff after me. Well, his mother was just THRILLED he was rooming with a girl. Almost like she expected something to come of us living together, or something else…

Turns out this guy was equally as piggish and helpless as the previous roommates. His mom was glad I was a girl because she assumed I would cook and pick up after him.

He survived solely on delivery and the campus meal plan; only ever bought real food when his dad would come into town to drive him to the store and buy it for him.
He didn't know how to cook for himself. One night I went on a date with bf and came home to the house all up in smoke. Apparently he took my extra virgin olive oil, heated it to super temp, and placed a frozen chicken breast on the searing hot pan which caused a small fire. I liked cooking for the house because I knew at least the food I'd make would be delicious and there wouldn't be a huge mess after.

He frequently made a dish, which I called "crotch rot surprise," because it smelled like a vaginal infection. He would take a pot of water and bring it to a rolling boil. Next, he'd add ramen and walk away for 10 minutes until it was mushy and overboiled. When he came back, he'd add canned tuna and let rolling boil for another 10 minutes.
This made the entire home stink like fishy vagoo. Worse still, he'd let that mixture overboil and get burnt on the stove making the smell worse. And it lingered for hours.

The final batch of weirdness came when I noticed my asian style bowls, cups, silverware, and other things were vanishing from cupboards. I asked roommate to politely bring down dishes, and he would, but in huge batches that he would sometimes leave for days before cleaning. Rinse, repeat this cycle throughout the semester.

I finally got so fed up after he went 2 weeks without bringing down dishes, that I raided his room.
>pic related is what I saw
Roommate had a lap band and actually wasn't supposed to be overeating like he had been with the delivery food. Instead of leaving his room to throw up in the toilet, he started to regurgitate chewed food into the cups (lower left of chair). This picture is after I recovered my dishes off the floor, but clearly you can see how he'd leave half eaten and thrown up food in his room for weeks and not clean it up. It's a miracle we didn't get bugs, but maybe even the bugs didn't want the shit he was selling.
I took pictures and documented all damages onto a USB stick because I wanted my deposit back and didn't want to be blamed for his squalor.

I guess what irritated me the most about him was that he was in a soft STEM field (biology) and he considered himself this hardcore, super smart ~science~ person and often looked down on me because I was studying the arts. I hate arrogant gatekeepers as it is. Yet the dumbfuck couldn't figure out basic "science" shit like don't put frozen things onto searing hot oil.

My fiance's little brother is living with us until he goes back to college or shacks up with a Nice, Boyfriend-Free Girl.

I like the kid, but he lives like a little goblin and it's getting exasperating as shit.

He "cleans" his room, and by that I mean
>Relocates gigantic pile of dirty clothes into the bathroom
>Lets dishes pile up on his desk until there's no room and relocates those to the floor until there are no dishes in the house.
>Brings those dishes down to the kitchen whenever it's convenient for him, even if it means letting cups of god-knows-what on the ground until they start to mold over.
>Masks the smell of neet-stank with $15 dollar yankee candles
He'll occasionally vacuum or dust his room, but it's usually when he's bringing over potential waifus.

I've tried teaching him how to at least soak dishes, or do laundry but he's so unintentionally condescending about it and says things like "Oh, I don't do things like this. I never learned how"
How the fuck. It's squeezing a bottle of soap onto a bowl. It's the same shit you do when you drop the clothes onto the floor, but you drop them into a metal machine and hit a button that says "START."

All he has to do is learn the basic fucking necessities of independent living and he's good to go, but he drags his feet and gets outrageously defensive over shit to the point of full-on REEEEEEing over how everyone asks too much of him and he carries the whole extended family on his shoulders.
His big, monumental task is that he occasionally drives his friends to work.

It used to be manageable enough but my fiance recently had an injury at work and is essentially bed-bound for the next month and a half until he recovers, so what used to be an easy enough two-man job has become a nightmarish clusterfuck. September can't come soon enough.

Also relatively minor compared to everything else but he's too lazy to lift the toilet seat up to piss and just pisses all over the seat like some kind of piss gremlin and I'm tired of having to triple check the toilet for gremlin piss. Just lift the seat up!!! It takes 2 seconds!! Fuck!!!!

Holy shit, where do I even begin is addressing this shit.

First of all, LEAVING FLEAS UNTREATED CAN LITERALLY KILL CATS. The fact she's bleeding and sticky means she's already far past the point where she should have been taken to a vet and if it goes on too much longer, she could actually get extremely fucked up. If I were in your position, I would take the poor thing to a vet myself, take pics, and keep a copy of the vets notes, so that I could use it against that fat bitch later.

Second, you are way, way, waaay too much of a pushover, like dear lord. I get you're probably just trying to avoid conflict with a heavily unbalanced person, but enough is enough. If you don't put this hamplanet in her place, it will only get worse. You have so much shit you can legally hold against her, yet she's saying she's gonna call animal control on YOU? You literally have the power to get her welfare and cat taken away.

Also, if my roommate treated my boyfriend like that, especially after he was so nice, I would destroy them. Get as much evidence of her illegal shit as possible, including the shit with her criminal hookup, and make sure she knows if she doesn't start being reasonable, she's either peacefully moving out or you're going to the cops.

my boyfriend's roommate would always send passive aggressive texts, telling us not to use her stuff even though beforehand we all mutually agreed that we could share food/cleaning products/etc. it's ok though, whatever, we stopped sharing and stuck to our own stuff. but then we noticed she would always use our laundry detergent and our dish soap, steal our waterbottles, etc. annoying but (foolishly) we didn't say anything.

anyway, she moves out one day and she took half of OUR groceries that i bought with the leftover money from my old job that i was forced to quit because my abusive mom kicked me out. i'm still fuming about it. she also took some of our pots and pans, knives, and plates. stupid ass bitch.

I'd recommend to anyone with shitty roommates who don't clean up after themselves to keep their own plates/cups/cutlery in their bedroom. Buy a set that matches with something silly on it like a cartoon character or a quote so you're guaranteed that nobody else has the same one.

Don't even fucking touch that sink other than to wash your own items. A friend of mine had to put up with shitty roommates who would pull this shit but once she started using her own kitchen items, they couldn't force her to clean up their shit anymore.

IMO the best way to deal with dishes is to have everyone take turns clearing the sink on a daily basis, regardless of how many dishes are actually theirs.

My experience with a recent housemate is very relevant to this thread.
I live with three dudes, two of them are cool, one is a nightmare,thankfully he has moved out for the summer.
>Overall, he is a slow person. He moves slow, functions slow and thinks slow. Not in a mentally disabled way or anything. If he is taking up space and you want to get past him, he will not move. He expects you to wait for him to finish what he is doing.
>Leaves the taps running,every time, always says he 'forgets' about them.
>Will mooch of your food.
>Takes 45 minutes to get a shower. He does not use a towel. Instead he treads puddles of water all over the bathroom and the rest of the house.
>Always felt that he needed to tell me how my tits made his dick feel.
>Burns shitty cheap incense and stinks up the house. Has never heard of opening windows.
>He hardly ever cooks or cleans but BOY does he love talking about how good he is at it.
>When cooking he will take three hours, he will use 10 spoons to cook soup which he will leave all over the side counters.
>NEVER closes the fridge and freezer doors. Hell, he only closes the house doors half of the time.
>He owns three times the amount of plates as me and the other two housemates combined. They are all always dirty.
>Does not wash his hands, ever. There is a piece of wall in his room he touches a lot when 'thrashing' (featured in pic)
>Forces me into unwanted emotional labor by telling me about the girls he likes. Assuming since I am also a girl I will enlighten him.
>Is into new age shit. Believes in chakras and 'masculine' and 'feminine' energy.
There is so much I can say about this guy, he is amazingly inconvenient.

I had two roommates who absolutely refused to flush after peeing to ~save water~. Sometimes they wouldn't flush after shitting either, if they dubbed the turd "clean enough". They also hardly ever closed the door to the bathroom when they were using it, regardless of what they were doing, and would eat in their a lot. I sometimes found plates of friend chicken scraps next to the toilet, that would be left there for days.

They were slobs in every other possible way, too. I remember one time when they were on vacation, we cleaned the hazard zone called the kitchen and when they came back they freaked out because they felt like we were insulting them and they "were gonna get to it eventually!" It's worth noting that one of them would have full blown psychotic meltdowns over the kitchen being messy prior to this, and do that classic thing where she didn't take any responsibility for her mess at all and claimed it was everyone else, even though we would watch her just leave dirty dishes all over and not clean up after spilling shit.

Needless to say, I am now militant about household cleanliness.

Out of all the things on this list, maybe because my mom read my diary when I was a kid and humiliated me, but this triggers me the most. What a fucking bitch. And you'd think if she was going to be dirty enough to invade your room and read your diary to spy on your feelings, she'd at least extend some faux courtesy and not confront you over feelings that weren't meant for anyone to know in the first place.

My roommate from 1st year of college. Names are changed for obvious reasons, but since she loves the Fifty Shades saga so much we'll call her Ana. Ana was only seen with her two bffs, Morticia and Felicia.
>First moment we meet she asked me if I could go to another room so she could be with her bff. How the scene was it's also funny, she walked up to me with Morticia and said: "Hi anon, I'm Ana. Me and her are friends, so I want to ask if you could move to another room so we can be together". I was already weirded out, but kept my nice facade and politely declined.
>Morticia and Felicia spend a lot of time in our room, Morticia being very obnoxious and trying to stick her long nose in my business. I remember her really nasal voice saying my name.
>Ana is a clean freak, and makes it clear the first day. Ohshit.jpg
>I'm eating some snack on my bed: "Oh no, you will leave crumbs!"
>I want to clarify that I'm a clean person, and if I make a mess I. Always. Clean. It was also my bed and my part of the room, so why did she care is beyond me.
>I brush my hair: "Oh no, anon, you will leave hair on the floor!"
>At first I was mostly weirded out by her, so I reassured her like you do with kids
>She had diarrhoea often and made a mess in the toilet without cleaning
>Also lectured me for not letting the toilet top down, while she never flushed so everytime I went to the bathroom after her I could admire her pee+methodically folded piece of paper she wiped herself with
>One day she walks up to me and says "Hey anon, I want to ask you a favor…" I already roll my eyes in anticipation. "Your brush, you know…? I want to ask if you could hide it, or take all the hair out of it, because whenever I go to the bathroom I try not to think about it, but I always end up looking at it…"
>More craziness: whenever it was a windy day she "escaped" to the study room (there was one for each floor of the dorm) to her friends because she was afraid of the noise the wind makes against the roll up shutter of the balcony door
>She always complained that I didn't clean up good enough - this was the period where I finally gave out being friendly with that psychopath - even though I showed her that there's a concentration of limestone in the dorm's water, so about two hours after you clean the bathroom some kind of patina forms on the ceramics, and everyone in the dorm but her knew this
>More craziness: one day I got out after cleaning, three hours later when I got back into the room I found her sitting on her bed, all flustered. "Anon… did you open the balcony door before you got out?" "Yes, to change air… why?" "Oh… well… Just don't do it again, because I was scared" I interrupted her because I thought I got what she wanted "Nah, there aren't insects right now" "NO! I was scared that someone might break in!"
We were at the sixth floor, in a super safe college dorm, with thick glass and cement separating each balcony. I laughed in her face.
>Disappeared with the key (every room was double, but only had one key and it was forbidden to make another) and every time I had to call her asking where tf she was
>Obviously, in Morticia and Felicia's room

Oh the memories. I kind of miss her craziness though

1. Income security. Employment=money and Student=loan money or parental assistance. You're less likely to fuck them over or be a mooch.
2. NEETs tend to have filthy and self-centered habits–you could be an exception, but other people don't know that and won't realistically risk taking you in to find out.
3. Some people are in fact embittered by the fact that you are home most of the time, and they get indignant that they must be burdened by responsibilities like work and study.

My ex undergrad roommates were sour as fuck towards me, a graduate student, because I only had classes twice a week and worked part time. They felt indignation that they would have to wake up early for classes and their intern jobs, while I would get to sleep in most days.
They expected me to become their house maid because they couldn't stand knowing I had free time, even though I had fucking earned my lot (but it was also me vs. two messy dudes, so).

I had a NEET roomie. He was actually cool at first, he was on disability and at least tried to get jobs. But couldn't keep them much longer than probation periods. He had Asperger's, thought he was going to be this amazing video game designer but was pretty shit with no original ideas. Problem? He was filthy, and ended up finding teenagers to bring back to the house and do drugs with. He was 25, but not mentally… One night I left my room around ten to ggomake some tea, but passed six or so of his "friends" he ditched in the living room so he could go to sleep. They were all on acid, on a weeknight. None of us were ever introduced, they were all strange men to me. He did not keep friends long, or get invited out much. So he was the type to glomb on to whomever came over. You have a guest? He's constantly hovering. Awkwardly. Literally he would just stand on the other side of the room and stare, laugh, etc. Invited himself out if he heard anybody making plans in the house. He also had severe anger issues. If he thought nobody was home he would scream and thrash his computer desk like the world of warcraft kid with the remote but for real… Did I mention 5/7 of us roomies were working, 20 something females? No? Well he hit on every new female he would meet, all the time. We ended up wandering the house clothed more than before he moved in, and all our female friends slowly stopped coming over entirely. I could go on. So glad I moved away from that.

I had this but it was because the flatmate had a crazed hippie saviour complex and viewed everything she did as some momentous plot to save the world's ecosystem. The rest of us studied arts so to her our time was less important and even when the mess was hers she would outright say she didn't have time to clean because she was at however many protests that week. After a couple of months her festering dishes led to a mouse infestation and we kicked her out, and then the mice left.

fucking don't let that girl stay with you i didn't even read the replies but i have a very similar story, best wishes to you honestly.

had a college friend that was in a really bad situation who i liked but she hung out with shady girls so i knew she had to have some shit i didn't know about going on. had the worst credit ever and basically used me so she didn't have to live in this fucked up commune. had her creepy bf over all the time, never asking, who had hit on me before when they were still together. never ever respected me or my space, played loud music and actually asked if she could pay drastically less rent for a list of fucking dumb excuses while spending the money she did have on weed. secretly the hugest fucking bitch ever, eventually kicked her out after really thinking she could pay so much less rent, especially after being such a cunt. this lasted only a few weeks and i clearly still hate her.

don't mess around with living situations, you're going to see every side of someone that way and if you already don't trust someone i can absolutely assure you it will not get better, do not let anyone pressure you into thinking otherwise.

So in college I was in a double room with a bathroom that connected to a single, so altogether it was us three girls. My roommate was okay, my suitemate was a crazy fangirl. But I hung out with her because why not. Anyways one day she begs me to go with her to the kitchen to make food so I figure why not, grab some ramen, and we go off through her door. I tell her she should grab her keys in case the door locks but she props it open. Well, we come back with hot food aaaaand the door is locked. We are locked out. She's panicking and I'm like, fuck this I'm gonna go eat my ramen so I go eat it in the common room. Our RA wasn't around apparently so she went and found another. Did she tell me she found one? Nope. She waited until I was done eating and returned back towards the room. She kept the RA and the maintenance guy waiting for me. BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T UNLOCK HER DOOR. I was like "What the fuck, just unlock yours and I'll pay for half." But she was refusing. She was completely refusing to pay. So I paid like a dumbass because I wanted back into my room and despite me asking for weeks she never gave me half of the money back despite us both being locked out.

But I got revenge. My roommate hadn't heard the story and when she found out she was soooo mad. Now our suitemate had this problem with assuming we'd always be around to let her in and she'd always come in through our door and whatnot. So one day she left her keys in the room because she thought we would be there. Nope. We left for a trip like an hour away. She got there and was like "Guys, when are you gonna be back?" And we said we didn't know. So she took her laptop into the common room to WAIT FOR US TO GET BACK. We stayed away for like two more hours and she texted us the entire time. She sent crying faces and guilt-tripped us and sent us Snapchats of her being sad. It was fucking hilarious. We made our way back to the dorm where she was still in the common room. And we went into our room and locked our side of the bathroom door and we watched out the peephole for signs of her. I even went and peeped into the common room to verify she was there, and of course she was. She texted us again saying her laptop was gonna die. Finally after like four hours total she gave up and got an RA to unlock her door.

She came into her room and marched through the bathroom and tried to open the door. When she found it locked she went to the bathroom and that's when my roommate and I put our coats back on and acted like we were coming back just then. She pounded on the door upon hearing us and was like "Did you guys JUST get back?!" "Yep." "BUT I JUST PAID TO HAVE MY DOOR UNLOCKED UGHHHHHH" "You should've done it hours ago." "UGHHHHH" We had been back for like 45 minutes at this point.

And that's what you get for being a little bitch and not paying your half. She never found out.

Oh man, you had the whole STEM vs. Arts dynamic too? That's rough.
My roommates were business majors (lol, drug using ones) and they always looked down on my grad studies because I did a lot of literature. Nevermind the fact that I was reading upwards of 6-8 books a week and writing critical essays on them. Some of them I actually published.
Meanwhile their classes were easy 101s, so they often popped pills and did grav bong rips at 8am before going to them.

But just because I didn't have classes everyday, even though my classes were 2 1/2 hours long a piece to compensate on the days I did, they made fun of me for "having too much time"–which eventually turned to bitterness when I wouldn't clean their messes, do their dishes, or otherwise make myself 'useful' to them.

On the other hand, I made a lot of mistakes because I trusted them at first.
I think I criticized one of my own courses as too easy to them. They later used this as ammo against me when I wouldn't do something for them, "YOUR CLASSES ARE A JOKE ANYWAY, DO THE DISHES IN THE SINK ANON!!"

Most (male, funnily enough) business majors are under the impression that they'll be day traders and fancy consultants swimming in money. They're usually no different from STEM neckbeards who think their shitty programming degree will automatically land them a job after graduation.

What nobody tells them is that most business fields (from accounting and finance to management) are fiercely competitive and you need a good GPA to get anywhere. They're usually the ones throwing tantrums when they can't get a job post-grad because of Big Business handing out jobs to 'women, muslims and blacks'. No, it's cause you suck lol.

I was going to post saying something along these lines, but basically this.
Unless these are well-adjusted dudes (ones who mass room together usually aren't..), then I'd say just be a decent person and don't worry. But chances are, they're going to find something about you to bitch over because they'll feel you're encroaching onto their friend and, vis a vis, their own lives. Also I've found guys are super judgey and are not socially conditioned to be subtle or quiet about their judgements like women are. Basically if they start dropping massive cues that you're not welcome in some way, have a talk to the bf. If it gets bad enough and bf won't tell them to fuck off, then the relationship ain't worth it.

This wasn't my roommate, but a girl who lived next to me in the dorms. I managed to snag a room in one of the co-ed,single room dorms my sophomore year and was grateful because I didn't want to deal with anyone in my space. However, I wasn't grateful for my next door neighbor. First thing I noticed was how big she was. She was the size of two moomoo's put together, with badly dyed pink hair. I wasn't gonna hold her appearance against her, but her size definitely made her stand out at my uni's campus.As the semester settled in, I would hear loud ass, high pitch squealing in Japanese coming from whatever shitty anime she was watching in her room. The walls were thin so it really pissed me off when I would hear it at 2am. I left a note on her door asking her to keep her shit down at night. I suppose she would turn it down on future occasions, but I could still here it.

What really bothered me was her hygiene. My hall was co-ed, but the bathrooms were not. There were only 3 showers so you eventually would run into every girl from the floor in the bathroom. But not this girl. I never saw her shower once. The only time I'd see her in the bathroom is when she was throwing away her pads in the trashcan, and not in the designed receptacles in the stalls. They fuckin REEKED. The whole bathroom and hall by the bathroom would smell like decaying flesh mixed with rotten fish. My RA and cleaning staff asked whoever was doing it to stop, but the nasty bitch never did.she never washed her hands after throwing her pads out either.

Back to the no shower thing. I know for a fact she didn't because she smelled so fucking bad. We shared a class time in the morning, so I would make sure I was always 15 minutes early to leave so I wouldn't have to share an elevator with her. I did once and I almost died (I lived on the 12th floor; it was a long ride). Her room started smelling terrible too. People would visit my room and comment on the smell entering because they thought it was me. It got so bad that there were swarms of gnats by her door.I had to stuff towels below my door so gnats wouldn't come underneath into my room. My RA tried intervening again by telling my whole floor we had an "infestation" problem and everyone should do their part and clean their rooms. Obviously the nasty bitch didn't care because she didn't do anything. I finally got fed up and sprayed a mixture of bug spray and air freshener on her door and underneath it while complaining loudly about dirty fat bitches. It must've embarrassed her enough to fix the problem because a few weeks later, all the bugs were gone and the horrendous smell wasn't as strong. She still continued to throw her pads in the trash can, even though the smell had staff concerned someone died in one of the rooms. She still stunk too.

I think she made me start to hate most fat people.

So about four days ago I moved for the second time this year. The first time was in May. I got pretty desperate because I am in university and the flatmate I was sharing with decided that she wanted to move in with her boyfriend. At the time, moving out on my own wasn't feasible, so I was looking into flat share situations. I found this one flat that seemed like a dream come true; spacious, bright, close to university etc. And the girl who lived there already (the landlord's daughter) seemed nice enough. Shy and sheltered but that's about it. Plus she was going to be away until July anyway so I would have the flat to myself for a while. Anyway when she came back I should have clicked that something about her was … off. She had this weird wide-eyed psycho stare and it seemed almost painful for her to talk to me. Then out of nowhere she started throwing my things in the bin. It started off fairly small, boxes that I had left in the kitchen, a hair product sample. Then she threw out the warranty I had for one of my kitchen appliances. Then she threw out a bag of books that i had put aside for a friend. Then she started throwing out my plates and mugs whilst I was away. Thankfully I had allowed my boyfriend to stay in the flat whilst this happened, and he gently suggested that hey maybe we should ask anon if she wants her stuff throwing away before we put it all in bin bags. Wide-eyed psycho stare. Ten minutes later, she gets her older sister to come over, calls her dad, and forces my boyfriend out of the flat. It was 11pm and he lives miles away. The final straw was when I came back. My house keys had been left with my flatmate after they were taken from my bf, and she handed me a set of keys that… didn't unlock any of the doors in the flat. I asked her where my actual keys were and she claimed that she didn't have them anymore. I was completely at her mercy in terms of when I could enter and leave the flat. It had started to feel like one of those slow-build psychological horror films. I made my arrangements and moved out a week later.

I was veeeery apprehensive about bringing it up with her dad cos I knew that he would probably take her side without any physical evidence. She was obviously a very sheltered girl who daddy doted on since she wasn't contributing to rent, had no job, and had the only bedroom with a lock and an ensuite. Not really relevant but on top of all that she was a weeb. Not exactly an indicator of psychotic behaviour but remaining a childish weeb after you turn 18 feels like a red flag

Anon made it clear from the get go she was more so a guest and not on equal footing. She’s not even friends with this girl, her husband is.

However if she knew from the beginning that no friends were allowed she couldn't just go back on that rule just because it's strict.

(Deleted and reposted because my initial post was impulsive and I realized it was more douchey sounding than I want to be)

We told her this before she moved in, we didn't spring it on her when she was already locked in. It's our home. We weren't looking for a roommate. We were allowing her to move in at a far lower rate than we could have gotten to help her out, as well as keep it under our control. We don't even have friends over who we don't know very well, so why should we let her bring randos we've never met over? I have extreme anxiety when it comes to strangers in my home, so I don't understand why I shouldn't feel comfortable establishing boundaries I feel necessary to someone with highly discounted rent. If we were charging her 1/3, there'd be some validity to your argument, but yeah, when you're paying 1/5th, you're not entitled to the same kind of privileges. I didn't mention this before which maybe I should have, but we live in a particularly expensive part of San Francisco, so the difference she's paying due to our discount is over a fucking grand. And we didn't charge her at all for utilities or internet. So yeah, reevaluate your stance on whether this is really that unreasonable now that you have that information.

Also, not that this should even have to be said for justification, but her close friends group were mostly degenerates. Most of them had been to jail for charges related to drugs and stealing. And by drugs, I don't mean shit like smoking weed, I mean shit like selling cocaine and possession/distribution of opioids. I have a lot of empathy for drug addicts, but do not feel comfortable having them in my home at all. My husband and I both have very dark experiences with addicts and for the safety our homes and mental health, we will not risk allowing them into our home.

Speaking of belongings, my husband and I are lucky enough to be able to afford a decent amount of nice things. If someone were to rob us, we're looking at literally hundreds of thousands worth of shit stolen if you include our cars. Not a risk I'm willing to take just so she's not minorly inconvenienced.

Plus, even if this were actually unfair, complaining to my mother in law, who she's well aware I have a complicated relationship with, is still crossing a major boundary worthy of being thrown out over.

By the by, what did your bf have to say about all this? Sounds like he should be stepping up and taking responsibility for telling her to get out.

It’s not her house, she has no rights to bring people in. If she isn’t grateful for being given such a huge boon she should get the fuck out and go stay with one of her friends. She is in no position to complain and going and bitching to your MIL is straight up selfishness and immaturity on her part.

The relationship between them is very complicated. This girl and my husband actually didn't speak for almost three years because when we first got together she was psychotically jealous and cruel toward me (like, mocked two deaths of people close to me to my face level horrible). I had very little interaction with her before he pulled the plug on their friendship due to her crazy bullshit.

She finally apologized shortly before we took her in and it really seemed like she took full responsibility. We accepted her apology when we usually wouldn't for something that extreme, because at one point she went through a very horrible thing that I also had, but her situation was even worse. So yeah, I wanted to give her a pass due to sympathy.

The second he found out she was discussing me to MIL this way, he confronted her. At one point, he even burst into tears telling her how he didn't understand how she could keep doing this shit to me, which hurt him just as much if not more. Now she's painting me as this horrible girl coming between her and her best friend by seducing him into thinking she's the devil. Easier making it my fault than accepting her awful attitude toward me is hurting one of her only good friends I guess.

He says he's not talking to her anymore after she moves out. He's also been silent around her ever since this started, despite her trying to act like nothing happened with him. She even tried hugging and kissing him on the cheek the other day and he flat out told her not to do that.

I'm really sorry that you both gave her a second chance, people like her don't deserve them.
Anyway, she does sound psychotic and still might even have romantic feelings for your husband. The cynical side of me tinfoils that this was part of her plan to try to get close to your husband again. But he seems loyal, thankfully.

I don't know what else to say other than you're completely within your rights, and I hope after the dust settles you don't ever have to deal with her ungrateful ass again.

It's like we end up becoming maids, moms, and slaves. The male roommates retaliate if they feel you aren't doing the part enough to their liking.

I had (what I thought) were cool male roommates I didn't know. The landlord put the room up for sale during winter break because they had failed to find a roommate in time. I moved in halfway through the year–what I didn't know was that they were salty at the landlord and at me because they wanted their pal in the room I took. But too bad.

We bonded at first, but I wound up doing a lot of the cleaning because they were typical men. If they didn't take initiative to clean, or didn't always do their dishes, I let it slide.
As the quarter grinded on, I myself didn't always feel like cleaning the gross bathroom, or tackling the double sink full of collective dishes.
They accused me of being "lazy" even though I produced less dishes than them and generally picked up after myself. After awhile they'd purposefully break my dishes as a punishment for being their turn to do them thinking that would manipulate me into doing it all the time. They'd claim it was "accidental" but they broke my stuff all the time. Almost all the cookware and dishes were mine btw, they had nothing when I moved in.

Things grew even more tense.
Before spring break, they got high and made a bunch of munchies. They used this giant vat and a bunch of other dishes that they piled into the sink and left for me to do.
I'm not a doormat, so I put their dishes into the vat and left it on the kitchen floor for them to do when they got back. I did the dishes that I needed or that I had left.
Those two weeks were very clean.
When they came back the one male had a shitfit at me, "R U FOOKIN SERIOUS U DIDNT DO THESE DISHES!!!!"
Told him to fuck off and stop yelling at me like a parent to a kid, and he had the audacity to scream "I'LL YELL AT U BC U ACT LIKE ONE!!"
Lost his fucking mind because he thought he was gonna come back to me having done his chores lmao. And to be clear, I would have done them if it were a few things, but fuck no. He even left an aggressive note on my door.
This lunatic made me cry and I hated them both from that point forward.

So here's the kicker:

When the two guys moved out, I was planning on talking to the landlord to sign another lease. The landlord didn't want me there anymore because he wanted to find three fresh bodies and he thought finding two more with me there would make things difficult.
But before I could move out, he tells me I have to deep clean the entire apartment from top to bottom. He also expected me to buy the advanced cleaning chemicals for the job on my own dime.
It wasn't fair. He didn't ask those fucking boys to clean the apartment and I had only lived in it for 4 months. I had to get my parents and police involved to get the slumlord to give me the deposit back because he was trying to bully me into doing unpaid labor.

That whole experience was unbelievable.

I lived with a misogynistic neckbeard once. He was a horrible person. Took sexual and emotional advantage if this mentally ill girl to the point of her needing to be sent to a psych ward. When myself and a couple other people told him flat out he was predatorial toward this girl, he twisted himself into the victim because she "wouldn't leave him alone". She was drinking the kool aid too much to realize what he was doing to her and since she was an adult, nothing could really be dine without her cooperation.

It was horrible and I could never trust a male roommate after that.

Hell yeah sister.

That's how I found out they were doing it to try to manipulate me. They said, "Maybe if you did these dishes they wouldn't get broken!" And if they weren't doing it on purpose while washing them, they'd find other sneaky ways. Like if I left a glass cup in the sink for the day, they'd come through with heavy plates and pans and set it on top of the glass and slammed something atop it until it shattered. That was even more annoying because then I couldn't even prove they did it maliciously, other than the fact that the breaking happened all the time.

They'd pretend dishes in the sink were mine when they weren't. I actually had a stomach disorder at the time so I usually couldn't eat anything more than cups of jello, soup, and a small slice of pita. They would try to say I had used pots, but plates, utensils, and shit that I clearly didn't dirty because I wasn't eating.

Anyway, it was two against one always. And I didn't want to run to my mom and dad for everything. It sucked.

This was only the tip of the iceburg, he had his mother come in every week to clean his room for him and cook for him, and the only reason why we didnt bring the hammer down on him early on was because he paid for everything he took and because it didn't seem like he really knew how to live with other people.

When we first met he would avert his eyes and dig his finger into his nose right in the middle of the conversation whenever I looked him in the eye. I'm not sure if it was a stress response, or if that was just something he was used to and was never reprimanded for. I think he just didn't know how to live with other people, his mother did everything for him. We had communal eating utensils and plates, and the typical "you eat off it you clean it" rule that was generally followed. Well one day I decided to go for a bowl of mac n cheese and like a fucking idiot I didn't look at the bowl itself because every other roommate I've had knew how to clean their dishes. When I went to go eat I got a mouth full of disgusting mildew and god-knows-what.

Turns out G's idea of "cleaning" dishes was to rinse whatever he was cleaning with water and then use his fingernails to scrape the shit off and then put it back into the stack without drying it off. He would also do shit like bend all the utensils out of place, half of our forks looked like rakes by the end of the semester.
