re: Bring Us Your Roommate Horror Stories

We had a 4 person dorm, two suites and a common bathroom. My roommate was handicapped (polio) and the guys in the other suite didn't like him. One of the guys was rah-rah military and in ROTC.

One day my roommate came home the ROTC guy had devised a knife to swing down from the ceiling when the door was opened. Scared my roommate so much he moved out that day.

Now, I don't condone what ROTC guy did at all; but it's my story.

ROTC guy would routinely soak his boots in our sink. He could be a real bastard sometimes.

However, ROTC guy and his roommate took off on a honda 100 cc to see the first space shuttle launch. You may remember that it was delayed 3 days. The didn't plan on that and spent those nights sleeping under the Florida stars. On the way back, blew a back tire and spent whatever money they had left replacing it. They were a sight when they got back to the dorm; but they saw the first shuttle launch.
