re: Bring Us Your Roommate Horror Stories

I had just graduated, and was looking for a place to stay after getting a job. This chick I knew, sort of a friend of a friend, said, "I heard you need a place to stay. I have an extra room." It was a great house in a centrally located neighborhood. She seemed cool, somewhat attractive, and easy to talk to, so I was like, "why not?"

It turns out she was a raging alcoholic. She would hide her liquor, and would get drunk at home by herself while I was at work. I would come home, and she would be just trashed, and wouldn’t admit that she was drinking. It got to where I couldn’t stand being around her. It was sad.
