Ok, back in May I made the mistake of thinking it was a good idea to get an apartment with two of my friends from the college dorms. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I can’t wait for our lease to end.

The 18 year old roommate is cool as shit. Fun to hang out with, easy to talk to, never gets annoying, has motivations in life, etc. The 23 year old roommate is dumb as shit. He never does the dishes, eats all your food, doesn’t have a job, and just sits around the house all day being worthless. The only time he gets groceries is when he drives home to Montana and has his mom fill his truck full of Costco shit. Otherwise he just eats McDonalds every day. I've never met someone who was in the military that was so lazy, worthless, and lacking any and all understanding of the simple concept of common sense. He was an engineer in the Navy and can't put a bed frame together. He can't figure out how to get the drain on the sink to not let water go down it. Water is all over the floors every time he takes a shower. And lastly, you should buy a new toothbrush when the bristles don’t stick upward anymore. I honestly think he should be breast fed a couple more years.

Needless to say, I applied for assisted living today. Since I don't have a great job and go to school, I should be able to get an apartment better than a studio for not much more than I pay living with my roommates now. After living in the dorms for two years and going through this I have concluded that roommates aren't the way to go. Even if I don't get any assistance for living, I think I will just get a studio apartment and live by myself. Anything but this.

That's awesome.
My parents forced me to live in the dorms (and this is an old college and I was in the oldest dorms they had, like jail cells) for a year as a learning experience. Like Alan implied, it really makes you appreciate not having them when it's over.

Can't work the sink plug. Hahaha.

Yes, he told me this morning, "Hey, I need to run to walmart and get a new sink plug. THis one just lets the water run straight through it."

He left to go to class.

I put the sink plug in the sink and twisted the swivel a little tell if fell down the stop the water.

"Dumb ass..."

The only reason he was trying to do the dishes was because I haven't done them for 2 weeks and there is a pile like 2 feet high. I just use my same bowl each morning and wash it before putting it back in my room.

A few years back I lived with my best friend and her husband's best friend. Her husband had been shipped out for a year so I was filling the spot. I loved living with my best friend, but the dude sucked. We all smoked pot at the time, but he took it to extremes. He would get so high that he was too lazy to leave his room. So he was peeing in large Gatoraide bottles.
Eventually the ass stopped paying the electric bills which were in his name. We were giving him money every month and he was buying pot and X. Not to mention we were feeding him, his 2 friends that were over 24/7 and his girlfriend. AND we took care of his daughter on the weekends when he was too "busy" to do it himself.
He moved out when the electricity was turned off, sticking us with the bill we and all the fees for having it turned off and back on. I have never been more pissed in my life.
I'm glad I was able to experience it though. It taught me to not take so much shit from someone just because I have them the label friend.

I've grown the kindest bud you can imagine, smoked it constantly, and I still can't imagine being so high as to piss in a gatorade bottle rather than walk to the bathroom. That's absolutely horrifying and distgusting.

And Ty, I've been on the other side too, where I never washed dishes, so I had a roommate who was a freshman and he thought he'd be tough and stop washing them for me, so like four months later they were still sitting there so he moved out. I didn't wash them just to piss him off, so your guy may be doing that.

We didn't even know he was doing that until he moved out and we had to clean his room. There were bottles everywhere. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. I think it had more to do with him not wanting us to see him high than being lazy. But lazy makes him sound worse.

That is such a good idea. I wish I'd have thought of that.

It's a little trick my dad taught us. When we were growing up we didn't like to do the dishes. So my dad got rid of all the bowls and just used his own and rinsed it out each morning. So I guess I get the passive agressiveness from my father.

Fantastic. I may just have to try that out one day.

I agree with this. We all get along, but he knows he bugs the shit out of me and my other roommate. If he doesn't do the dishes by the end of this week I'm just going to wash them all, put mine all back into storage, then if he refuses to do his own dishes I will just put the dirty ones back in the cupboard so that way I can bring my girlfriend over and not make myself look like a pig. Unless she opens the cupboard, that is.

My roommate is digging himself a grave, is what hes doinng. He is the one who paid the $525 deposit for the appartment. When I move out, do you think I'm going to help him clean the place up and shampoo the carpets so he can get the $525 back? Hell no. The conversation will go something like this:

"Hey man, are lease is due next week and we need to get this place cleaned up."

"Oh, cleaned up. You mean like do the dishes, taking the trash out, and moping the floors kind of clean up?"

"Yea..."

"Oh yes, I've been doing that all along. I figured this time would be your turn."


Hes going to be in a whole world of hurt. I have parents that live near by and other friends who are looking for roommates. I have choices. I would have to conclude that he will just drag his ass back to the dorms because Ty won't be there to show him how to fill out a rental application or explain (over the course of 3 months) how to call an electric company and get it all set up.

Even if anything bad happens with the appartment at all, the tenant with the highest credit score will be sent to collections. The 23 year old roommate didn't even have a credit score, mine was 725 and the 18 year old roommate's is 728. So either way this all goes down in the end, I shouldn't have to face any of this. Nore should I. I was the guy who moved in with them and was supposed to just give them money to deal with everything. It's not like I came up with the idea. Nore am I trying to avoid all form of responsibility. I had to pay the first 2 months of rent by myself (over a grand) and wait for them to make money from their jobs to pay me back. I'm the one who goes down and pays the rent for us all and has all the receipts. They would be screwed if I got sent to collections because I could simply just take them to civil court and show all paymens made directly by me.
