OP recalls the story when she and five other women were roommates and friends, for two of them to do a 180 and become roommates from Hell!
They Were Friends
During her junior year of college, OP lived with five other women – Alicia, Barbara, Daisy, Elizabeth, and Felicia.
They had signed a lease for a one-year deal on an unfurnished off-campus house.
The Housemate Agreement
Before moving in, they all decided on what to bring for the house and settled on a chore schedule.
They also set up a household supply fund to buy things they all needed.
Things Take a Turn for the Worse
Things went well at first, but by the fall semester, Alicia’s boyfriend Mark moved in, and they started acting like they owned the place.
Barbara and her boyfriend Philip also followed suit.
Fed Up With Bad Behavior
By February, Daisy, Elizabeth, Felicia, and OP found a different off-campus place and signed a lease, without Alicia and Barbara.
From then on, Alicia, Barbara, and their boyfriends became complete jerks.
The Plan to Move Out
OP wrote, “They stopped contributing to the shared supply fund, stopped doing chores, and destroyed their belongings.”
“They’d do things like stop the clothes washer mid-wash, take their clothes out, dump them on the floor, and start their own laundry.”
The Roommates From Hell
OP continued, “They’d use up all the hot water by taking super long showers. They’d write ‘return to sender’ on our mail.”
“They destroyed flowers our boyfriends sent or brought to us. They refused packages. This list goes on and on.”
Planning Their Escape
A week before Memorial Day, Elizabeth received a call from the landlord on their new place, saying they could move in early at no charge.
Daisy, Elizabeth, Felicia, and OP decided to move out ASAP without telling Alicia and Barbara.
Secret Moving Day
During Memorial Day weekend, while Alicia, Barbara, and their boyfriends went camping, the four of them moved all their belongings out of the house.
Taking Back What’s Theirs
They also took all the shared household goods, including toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, and laundry detergent, since Alicia and Barbara had not contributed to the fund since March.
Roommates Return to an Empty House
When Alicia, Barbara, and their boyfriends returned from their camping trip, they were shocked to find an empty house.
Revenge Is Sweet
They also got food poisoning on their way home, making their scathing texts to Daisy, Elizabeth, Felicia, and OP about moving out and taking everything priceless.
Friendships That Last
The four of them still laugh about the situation 12 years later and have not heard from Alicia or Barbara since graduation.
What an Outrageous Situation!
Fubaryall wrote, “Diarrhea and vomiting with no TP or paper towels? Awesomeness!!”
Another replied, had a similar situation when one roommate turned into three, to the point, “where I needed to escape. The original roomie tried to demand I continue paying “my half” of the rent.”
