Roommate Horror Stories: 24 Bad Roommates You Never Want To Live With
Living with roommates can be a rollercoaster ride of emotions and experiences. While having a roommate can save you some money and also, in some cases, offer a strong friendship, it also introduces a whole new set of challenges. Once the novelty wears off, you may find yourself questioning your life choices as you uncover their bizarre habits.
For some unfortunate people out there, these experiences are less about cohabitation and more a front-row seat to chaos and dirt. Imagine having to ask your roommate to do the bare minimum of cleaning and organizing the house, but ending up finding out that they think using your mouthwash is perfectly acceptable as long as they dilute it with water. Infuriating right?
From neglecting to do dishes and leaving trash strewn about, to the downright absurdity of drying random items in the air fryer, these roommates might be candidates for a horror film. If you find yourself living alone, count your blessings and stay vigilant — some living situations are best avoided and we found some harrowing examples to prove this statement. Here's why!
