College Roomates

In Marine Corps boot camp they assigned me to the bunk bed below the only black guy in the platoon because I was from Alabama. I guess somebody thought that was funny back in the 60's.
Joe was a straight up guy and a fine Marine. We got on well.
One day on a long hike, I tripped and fell and sprained my ankle. You just don't fall out of a march in the Marine Corps - it is not an option. Joe snatched me up with my pack and rifle and carried me the last two miles back to our barracks. I bought him many beers for that.

Freshman year, 1st semester - Todd. Which meant I also had his girlfriend as a roommate. Kinda like living in an adult film. mildly amusing at first. Then really annoying.
Freshman year, 2st semester - New roommate and his drug habit. I walked in on him and his friends cutting up cocaine. I turned around, walked out, and never saw him again.
Sophomore year - Scott. Still friends to this day. He probably has a lot more complaints about me than I do about him.

I went to jr. college my first year. Then I moved to Austin & had 3 roommates, 2 snakes, & 1 dog in an apt. I worked 3rd shift & had evening classes so I was home with the snakes & dog during the day. The next year, I moved into my girlfriend's apt. Overall, I was probably as bad a roommate as anyone, so I didn't gripe too much. Besides, I lived by Dean Wormer's statement, "Fat, drunk, & stupid is no way to go through life, son"...and that was way before Animal House came out. I survived & lived to tell about it.

My first roommate was on the 8 year plan. Seriously. His parents were stinking rich so they BOUGHT him a condo in which he lived during every spring semester so he could "get his head together" and do nothing but ski and party.

During my first semester I woke up and he was in the top bunk, directly over my head, having LOUD sex with some gal I'd never seen. The following night I woke up and he was being assaulted by a football/jock/frat guy, presumably the aforementioned gal's beau, who had forced himself in our room and gone about the business of hammering my roommate to a pulp.

Fast forward to a few years later. I'm living with three guys in a rented house and I come home after practicing on a Sunday evening to find the whole house torn apart and everything being sprayed HEAVILY with Lysol.

Never a good sign.

One of my roommates informed me that he had been to a doctor and he had frickin' CRAB LICE. Apparently my roomie was under the impression that Lysol would kill off all the buggers in the house. He concluded this conversation by handing my a bottle of anti-crab crotch shampoo (I REALLY wish I were making this up), because his doctor suggested that all of us house mates use it. 'Til the day I die, I'll never forget the smell of that stuff.

Freshman year the roommate I was assigned thought it would be a good idea to apply Icy Hot to his testicles I spent the next hour listening to him roll around on the dorm floor in agony.
============================================
One of my housemates junior year was caught in the act of taking a dump (far less than a solid one mind you) in a plastic grocery bag on the kitchen floor because another roommate was taking a shower.
============================================
Same housemate has a huge obsession with dorn and was caught in the act of "taking care of himself" mulitple times, using someone else's t-shirt to clean up with.
============================================

I could go on and on about that guy, but I don't want to get into even grosser details.

It would be difficult for me to imagine grosser details.
