I Had a Roommate From Hell

Oh boy, there's so much to say here. I don't like making people listen to this, but I kind of need to rant. So my first year at a four-year university, I got The Roommate from Hell. Great. It was two against two. I got along fine with my roommate, but my two suitemates were horrible to us. They were "cold," so they decided to crank the thermostat up to 87 degrees. We used to keep it at 70, but we were trying to compromise with them, so we would always change it back to 75. This went on for about three months. Then, they got a heater. But they decided to freeze us out then. Evil One and Evil Two (my nicknames for them) changed it all the way down to 50!!! And when we confronted them in a polite manner about why they were doing this, they laughed and said, "We just wanted to see if you guys would notice. We didn't think it would actually get that cold." I remember one night when they were making the dorm feel like an oven inside the depths of Hell and I caught one of them turning up the thermostat. I was like "Hey, we need to talk." So she stopped and listened to us saying we were literally too hot wearing a tank and shorts. I explained that there was nothing else we can do. You know what she said? She yelled (it was 3am) "JUST OPEN A WINDOW!" And that was the beginning of the roommate wars.

This is why a guy I met back in the 60s lived in a telescope on the U. of Washington campus. He just tilted in to 180 degrees, removed the lens, slipped some foam rubber and a sleeping bag into it and caught a good night's sleep. If anyone asked him where he lived, he just said he was living on campus. And that he had a great view.

@Spokeskitty75: I mean, college is great. But the whole roommate ordeal? Not so much. Maybe I'll get better ones this year. Nothing can be worse than those two, so it makes me optimistic.

@songwrxter: no... I was joking about that. I hope you get some roomies that make your experience awesome this coming semester
