Roommates from hell. We've all had them, right? Whether it was a college roommate who smoked too much pot and almost got you kicked out of your dorm for actually smoking it IN the dorm (true story), or someone who is a great friend but a messy roommate. Roommates are interesting. They seem so cool and fun to 18-year-old college freshmen, and are then just the norm for the next decade or so. They're perfect for 20-something-year-olds, but once you hit thirty, it seems that you should be grown-up enough to live on your own...or just get married and make your spouse your permanent roommate.
I've had all sorts of roommates...messy ones, clean ones, smokers, non-smokers, stuck-up, easy-going, etc. etc. I met one of my best friends through a roommate-finding service, and I've lost friends when a great-on-the-surface roommate turned out to be selfish bitch.
This is the story of one such roommate. Red flags should have sprung up before I even met her, but I pushed them aside because I SO BADLY needed someone to help me pay my $1300/month rent. When I first met her in person, the first thing she said to me was "Oh, I don't watch TV." And so it began...
