We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their "roommate from hell" stories. Their replies were infuriating and definitely grabbed my attention! Here's what people shared:
1. "My roommate borrowed a leather jacket from the girl down the hall. We went out, and she threw up all over herself and that jacket. When we got home, she put the jacket in a garbage bag and just threw it in her closet. Like a month later, the girl down the hall asked for it back, and my roommate had to find it in that closet. It was still in the garbage bag. So disgusting. It was green and smelled like death. Just the worst."

2. "I was visiting family for Christmas and was in a serious car accident. My one-week visit turned into a month-long recovery. With a broken arm (right), broken collarbone (left), and other injuries, I returned to my shared apartment. It was filthy, and my roommate was gone for a few days. She had left what looked like weeks of dishes and dirt around, and her boyfriend's things were everywhere. It was filthy, dusty, gross, and sticky. The first thing I had to do with both arms in slings and on pain meds was clean the toilet just to be able to use it safely. She knew I was coming home that day with injuries, but she did not bother to clean up after herself for the month I was away."

3. "She left PERIOD BLOOD everywhere! I would see clots in the tub, or blood smears on the floor and on the counter! She left her used tampon on the edge of the bathtub. We had a roommate meeting and discussed this with the other woman living in the house. This girl's reaction? 'Well, you leave toothpaste in the sink sometimes...' I told her she leaves the bathroom looking like a crime scene! She tried to say that she was seeing a doc for a heavy period, but I told her that that didn't mean she could leave blood everywhere. One day I opened the closet in the bathroom, where we kept the trash, and was hit with the smell of HER MENSTRUAL BLOOD. The trash was literally piled over the top with bloody tampons and a period cup FULL of blood."
"She was 30, by the way. She also didn't brush her teeth. Her meals were popcorn chicken drowned in ranch with a side of an entire bag of candy and a 24-oz. Mountain Dew. In the year we lived together, she had eight teeth pulled for being rotten."
4. "My new roommate showed up with a ton of roaches in her boxes, and when she unpacked, they went all over the living room and kitchen. She told me, 'Some people just live with roaches.' The landlady had made a point of telling me the apartment had no bugs when she rented it to me."
