i once had a roommate who enjoyed hand cuffing herself to the bed, alone, and one that would leave globs of mucus in the sink for me in the morning like a dog pissing to mark his territory. anyway, funny book!

I once had a roommate who drank all of my booze, ate all of my food, constantly clogged the kitchen sink with rotting chicken and rice, and went for so long without washing his sheets that I once stuck to them while trying to figure out why his room smelled. I ended up marrying him. I am in charge of cooking and cleaning now.

Roommate wrote her name on the OJ that she bought after eating & drinking everything I bought. I told her cool, no probs.. I just used to piss in it every day... I still laugh about it 23 years later & my kids even think it's funny! I pissed in her soup also!

I had a roommate that was paranoid about us eating his food. One day I open the fridge to see "Joe" written on his eggs, the juice, everything...even a couple of cantaloupes.

For the bible quoting one, I suggest quoting particularly nasty passages, you know, the ones that advocate murder and death and rape. Bible's full of that good stuff.
