Living with roommates can feel like a buddy comedy — sharing meals and chores, having movie nights, even becoming the best of friends in some cases.
But if you’re one of the unlucky ones, it can turn into a low-budget horror movie instead, where your roomie never washes their dishes or blasts music at 3am.
When people on Reddit were asked about their worst roommate experiences, the responses ranged from weird and confusing to horrifying and downright disgusting. We’ve rounded up the strangest stories for you right here, so you can laugh, and maybe feel a little better about your own living situation.

I had a roommate who had decided that he wanted to start eating food purely for nutritional purposes without any regard for taste or appearance. So I open the fridge a couple days later to find that all the tupperware containers and many other dishes filled with this disgusting "food" that he made... This "food" was basically a mashed together mixture of frozen vegetables, oatmeal, eggs and some other things that he had heated together in a big pot.

Needless to say he didn't last very long on this diet and ended up throwing most of it away. He's done some other weird things but I can't really remember any right now.

I caught my roommate doing the dishes without being asked. Seriously changed how I looked at the guy.

For real though our female roommate came home with a few friends to my roommate n I doing chores naked. She said she would of joined if she didn’t bring company. It was a weird house.

We had this croatian guy who basically spent all of his time at our house, so he was considered a roommate. One time I came home at 7 am (mistake were made and I fled the scene) and I saw him standing in front of our George Foreman Grill, dipping bread in the historical fat pit that hasn't been cleaned out in ages. Yes, he was eating the George Fat - Delicious!

One of my roommates used to flush food down the toilet - once I saw her flushing a ton of spaghetti noodles and another time, an apple core. I guess she thought that was what you did with unfinished food.

I don't recall seeing my roommates doing anything *too* out of the ordinary, but they may have caught me.

So, I had my gerbil Jose out one day (you know where this is going...) and I just really wanted to see the inside of his mouth. So I gently took my finger and slid it under his front teeth and propped his little jaw open. Jose just kind of sat there, showing off his little chompers while I glanced inside. That's when I heard my roommate behind me. When I looked in her direction, she promptly walked away, saying nothing. She didn't really like my gerbils to begin with, and I have this feeling that her witnessing my having orally examined Jose didn't help my case.

Oh well.

A roommate in college once clearly said the word “orchestra” while he was fast asleep. I thought he was awake, so when I said “what?” and he didn’t respond I was a bit spooked.
