I’ll give my worst one. I lived like 5 months in a sublet, two roommates. I found the place on Craigslist.
One was a woman in the Navy going through a divorce. She’d come home each night with a different guy, loudly hook up, and then order delivery. She never cleaned anything in my time there, and I only saw her out of her room a few times.
The other was a guy with terminal brain cancer and anger management issues. He would wail loudly most nights and throw his Xbox controller against our shared wall. He had a dog whom he stopped feeding. I had to take care of his dog for him.
I stopped taking out the trash as an experiment. They began just putting their trash on the floor of the kitchen. Madness.
