What MVWRs Are Good For

18420_0_1787_la-1

I have had a long list of MVWRs. I have very bad luck.

It all started at a summer camp when my first MVWD  had sex with her ”camp boyfriend” on my bed.

My first roommate in college spoke mostly Spanish and filled our dorm-sized fridge with wholesale club-sized tabasco sauce and pickles, which she ate with fried pork rinds.

My second roommate was great until she started going out with a bonafide sleazy greaseball of a rat. She was “so Christian” and would ”never have sex before marriage,” which I skeptically believed until I came into the room one day to them making out mostly naked under the covers. My covers.

All my my third roommate’s possessions –  clothes, bedding, book covers, everything – were hot pink. She never left the room and ate stinky frozen dinners all the time. Instead of doing her homework, she would browse yacht websites wondering loudly if she could get her Daddy to buy one for her.

Fourth roommate was an angel. I love her.

Fifth roommate clipped her toenails in the living room and left them there, even after I asked her not to. Her boyfriend drove four hours every weekend to come loudly spend time with her. She called him”BAY-bee,” a word she enunciated with a shriek every time she addressed him. She never cleaned and the kitchen sink was always full of her dirty dishes.

My sixth roommate is my husband. He’s a little messy but my tolerance has increased dramatically since this fail parade started.

well, i’ve had about as bad luck”
-the deadbeat who refused to pay bills, brought home cheesy girlfriends and was apparently stalking his ex wife.
-the psycho antisemite
-the drug addict who trashed the apartment while high on a lethal combination of drugs, then fucked off to parts unknown to avoid paying the damages.

now i live alone and i’m happy.

Just gonna say, I have made out with more than one boy while mostly naked, but am still a virgin. Undoubtedly gross for you, but not definite proof she wasn’t savin’ it!

My freshman year of college I had a one room double with a girl who was so depressed about being away from home she spent almost all of her time, when not at softball practice, lying in bed watching VH1 reality show marathons and/or talking loudly on the phone. She didn’t warn me when her boyfriend was coming to visit, so I would just walk in to find a mostly naked boy in her bed, which was just a few feet away from mine. She also never cleaned our communal bathroom. In short, despite a good roommate sophomore year, I resolved never to have a roommate again unless I had no choice. I respect that you put up with so many worse ones!

Claire – When you do it under your roommate’s sheets, you are a skank. A skank with a halo enshrined virginity ;)

sooo….one of the girls liked pink and had rich parents?
She’s a whore, I tell you, a filthy soulless whore!

Seriously, you sound bitter and somewhat condescending. I understand having people (almost) do it in your bed is gross, but I can’t see why the third one is so terrible. So she’s not you. Deal.

3rd one isn’t a bad roommate… she likes pink and eats frozen dinners… big whoop.
