Bored Panda spoke to Twitter user Save Bandit! who said she woke up to a roommate reading bible verses over her. “I woke up to my roommate reading bible verses over me because she had heard me whispering in "tongues" the night before. I was in bed talking to my family in my native language and didn't want to disturb her sleep,” they tweeted for the #MyWeirdRoommate challenge.
“My first thought initially was ‘what the hell’! Then she explained what had happened and honestly, we laughed pretty hard about it, she learned I spoke another language and I learned she was quite religious,” Save Bandit! said. Having said that, the Twitter user added that they definitely wouldn’t call that roommate weird, but “perhaps a little sheltered.” They added: “It can always be worse, I found that out once she left and I got a second roommate who never stopped talking.”
When it comes to keeping in touch with roommates, Save Bandit! said that they lost touch some years back but prior to that, "we would occasionally reach out and send funny memes to one another." They also added that “I definitely prefer living alone, roommates can be fun but sometimes it's a hassle living with another person.”
We also reached out to one Twitter user that goes by the nickname “mother of staircase humor” who participated in Jimmy Fallon’s #MyWeirdRoommate challenge. “Back in dental college, I had a roommate who would wash all her fresh fruits with soap. Little did I know that a decade and a half later, all of us would be doing the same,” she tweeted in response to Fallon.
The Twitter user said that the moment she saw her “weird roommate” washing fruits with soap, she “exchanged glances with other roommates, by the end of college, we had our own secret eye language.” Even today, they still have “our own little fest based on social media posts of old peers.”
While living with other people at dental college, the Twitter user said that they learned to read each other very well. “There were a ton of hilarious instances, we were all weird in our own ways,” she added. In general, she had a great time as she was “wise enough to understand that college days never come back and it indeed was the golden time of my life.”
