re: Bring Us Your Roommate Horror Stories

At the start of my Sr. year I found myself with nowhere to live. My dad kinda sorta knew a guy in town that built/owned some small 4 unit apts and had a room to rent. 2 br / 1 bath fully furnished bottom floor. BUT, his freshman son was in the other room. Had just moved back from living with his mother in Texas. No car. his dad locked it up because the kid lost his license. Dad was ex Marine and the son didn't appreciate his sense of responsibility, to put it mildly. First month, his bike got stolen, although he might have sold it, I don't know. Never studied. Would bring friends over to late night watching TV that was just on the other side of my bedroom wall. One of his friend's dad ran a laundromat and they'd go get quarters from the machines and play pool which was fine as long as they stayed away from the apt. Ended up flunking out that qtr. and dad made him move in with him. I got the use of the apt for the next 2 qtrs all to myself. Pretty sweet.
