Bad Roommates

Most of us have had a bad roommate situation in our lives, some of us have even been the bad roommate. But how hostile does a situation have to be for your roommate to let you die on the living room sofa and rot there for 7 or 8 years.

Neighbors complained of the smell emanating from the Bristol UK apartment for years, but assumed that the odd man who lived inside simply suffered from poor hygiene. When a cleaning crew was finally called into the building to tackle the odor, they were shocked to find the source to be a rotting corpse.

The 70-something year old man appeared to have died of natural causes, and his roommate, also in his 70s just went on with his daily routine, leaving the body to decompose, reporting the death to no one. He continued to live in the apartment with the corpse of his roommate for the next 8 years.

When I was 18, I had a roommate who soaked her panties in the kitchen sink. I’d go to wash a dish or get a glass of water, and the sink would be full of dirty undies. If it sounds sexy, it’s not, it’s disgusting. I told her she was gross and she threatened to punch me. Then we got in a knock-down, drag-out fight and she had to move out. Oh, yeah…we were also naked. Okay, maybe it was a little sexy.
