My Very Worst Roommate experience happened during my sophomore year in college. I was living in the dorms, and was randomly assigned to room with three people I didn’t know. Unfortunately, while they were all very nice, one of them was an alcoholic.

She was a freshman, but she still bought beer so she must have had a fake ID. Also, she would leave beer bottles (and once an enormous vodka jug) lying around our den, even though we kept telling her not to do so. At any time, the RAs could have looked in (or smelled) and told that there was someone drinking in the room, and they actually got a citation once.

She also brought her friends over, sometimes on weeknights when I had class in the morning, after they had all gone to bars or clubs and were drunk. Then they would drink more in her room until 3 or 4 in the morning. However, the worst thing that happened was one night at about 4:30 a.m., she and about five of her friends came back from a club drunk. They proceeded to drink more and woke me up by laughing really loudly.

I was about to go out and tell them to shut up for probably the third time that week, when a random guy I didn’t know BURST into my room, vomited all over the floor, and ran out. He them vomited into the toilet, loudly, for about five more minutes.

That’s not the worst part.

The next morning I went to brush my teeth and I only to realize (fortunately before I started brushing) that this random drunk guy had used my toothbrush and that it was covered in vomit.
