Roaches are probably the worst and the most digusting things in my book! <br /><br />So anyway, about roommates, no, they don't exist in my life. Haha! I still live with my Mom, which is to say the tradition here in the Philippines. I wanna live alone, though. I don't want roommates too, I want my own space. I can live with my high school friends if they are gonna live next to my apartment or something, though. But not with sharing my space. Well, they can stay for like 2 days but more than that, I wanna kick them out LOL. <br /><br />Let's just say I totally value my own space.HalfCrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649739223783471903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-54831706089842536712010-04-18T18:22:11.333-04:002010-04-18T18:22:11.333-04:00I never had a roomate, I lived at home until I got...I never had a roomate, I lived at home until I got married.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-32220086989171514132010-04-18T16:40:36.670-04:002010-04-18T16:40:36.670-04:00I grew up in a large family so was well used to ha...I grew up in a large family so was well used to having bodies about the place.

We were 1200 miles from home. She had worked and was three years older than me and I was only 17, but, I knew what I was there for and wouldn't dare waste my parent's money. She was there to party, even though at a church school the party life was minimal. Still, she broke freshman rules and one night came in after the dorm mom had to send people to find her. I read her the riot act.<br /><br />I moved out after first semester to another roommate across the hall... with bathrooms and washrooms in between so we rarely saw each other. Her new roommate (poor thing) came screaming over to our side saying there were swarming bugs in her room. My former roommate had found a large stump outside during the winter and thought it would make a nice accent table in the corner.... well, after two days of warmth in the dorm, the hibernating termites awoke with gusto...... You have NO idea at how glad I was to have moved out!<br /><br />As for the roaches.... there is nothing so large as Texas roaches... you could saddle them and ride them.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-71205733273955478212010-04-18T14:44:08.028-04:002010-04-18T14:44:08.028-04:00Very interesting Judy.

There were always "issues"-- mostly around levels of cleanliness (some people don't clean up after themselves) and food (some people eat food in the refrigerator that they didn't buy).

One worked a different shift so it was like living alone till rent day.<br />One I shared such a large apartment with that I didn't even know when she was sick and couldn't go to work. We were good friends and worked at the same bank but drove our own cars. I was a bit embarrassed when everyone asked me how she was and I had no idea. I had been out late the night before, it was quiet when I went to work so thought she had all ready left.

Oh those cockroaches -- Yikes!<br /><br />My first roommate was at college,of course. I was going to be assigned a roommate until I saw Sue on campus, an old friend from a previous town we lived in, and we hugged to see a friendly face and decided to room together. Big Mistake! She was definitely possessed and after many spine chilling adventures she finally decided she was a boxer and wanted me to spar with her. She began hitting me and I swung back and she hit the floor. She feigned unconsciousness and then claimed that I hit her in her brain tumor. Needless to say she moved to a private room and hung black curtains and played strange music. I heard she later became a nurse.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-11446582893608456772010-04-18T07:47:12.122-04:002010-04-18T07:47:12.122-04:00Never had a girl roommate!

Now, I enjoy a week with my group of good women friends a couple times a year and I enjoy traveling with women but not sure how I would have made it with girlfriend roommates. Your post makes me think I'm not very flexible. And the roaches? Oh, no. No,no,no- that was just wrong in every way. I'd be having flashbacks to that one, too.amarkonmywallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677008352624269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-10033454811121199772010-04-18T06:32:06.919-04:002010-04-18T06:32:06.919-04:00Oh,yes.

We went on strike one month and they actually let the garbage pile high to the ceiling in the utility closet refusing to take it out! They had two huge piles of clothes in the middle of their beds...one dirty and one clean.

After that I never wanted another roommate.<br /><br />However, after a fight with my step-father, I moved into the Y.W.C.A. and had a really neat roommate. She was about 5 years older than I and I thought she was so sophisticated. I really enjoyed her. It didn't last long because I went back home after a few months.<br /><br />Other than my husband, I never had another roommate. That worked out just fine, thank you.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-16618739490870648832010-04-18T04:57:25.213-04:002010-04-18T04:57:25.213-04:00I left home aged 16 to start a pre-nursing course ...I left home aged 16 to start a pre-nursing course and shared a room with the other fresher. Unfortunately she had problems and helped herself to my savings book - all of £3 10s. She was identified cashing it but because both she and the girl in the shop were both under age the hospital couldn't take it further. Matron offered to move her in with someone else but that didn't seem fair and fortunately she voluntarily left soon after - to get married - she said. I think she was disturbed but I was very relieved when she left as her hygiene left a lot to be desired.<br />I earned £5 a month so it did seem catastrophic to me then.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-15032306989568241642010-04-18T04:07:32.235-04:002010-04-18T04:07:32.235-04:00Oh, I could write a small article on romming, coll...Oh, I could write a small article on romming, college, living alone etc. etc.!!<br /><br />But two of the nicest "room mates" I had were two adorable siamese kittens one of my landladies had.
