Finding a roommate isn’t always easy. Even when you think you really click with someone, even with you move in with friends, it’s different when you’re dealing with shared space.

In this story, one woman shares two crazy roommate stories from her college days. The first story, the roommate seriously sounds crazy. The second story, the crazy part mainly involves someone who isn’t actually her roommate.

In both cases, she’s able to get revenge.

Keep reading for all the details.

Two roommate stories..don’t mess with me and my money

First roommate was a girl I met during community college. She was so cool. Totally chill and funny.

Moved in with her and everything changed.

She would start screaming at me because I turned the AC on..in August during 90 degree F days..even though I promised to compensate fully for it (and it turned out to just cost $30..).

She would also get angry when I woke her cat up.

It got pretty scary.

She got so crazy hostile I would lock my door at night out of fear of her stabbing me in my sleep.

So I moved out after that month, but I was still obligated to the lease.

I tried to find her a new roommate that she liked, but she made the process difficult.

I was getting anxious because rent was about to be due and I was not about to pay for two apartments.

But she eventually chose someone to sublease the apartment.

So I stopped giving a care and signed a sublease with a random, foreign 40 year-old man (I made sure he was fully aware of what he was getting into).

When I told her she started yelling how I’m stupid, I don’t know anything about the law, and she knows a lot more about leasing agreements since she worked at a leasing office.

The look of quiet rage/frustration when I laid out everything stated in our leasing agreement and rental laws in our state..was too satisfying.

Yikes!

ADD-ON: A year later I was at an intersection, just about to take a right turn.. she was coming the opposite way and sped up real fast to take a left in a dangerous attempt to cut me off.

I saw this and stopped.

My mom, who never met my ex-roommate, was in the passenger seat and turned to me in utter disbelief, wondering what just happened.

Certified crazy. Sort of satisfying knowing that our battle’s conclusion still got this crazy person’s feathers ruffled.

The next roommate situation sounds better.

Second story: For my senior year I lucked out with rooming with two very good friends of mine. This was only because their third roommate, Squeals, had an internship opportunity for that semester, so I would have to find someplace else for the Spring, which was fine.

I call her Squeals because she doesn’t talk, she squeals in a really soft voice so you can’t understand a damn thing she’s saying.

Roommates confirmed she adopted this voice to appear cute to guys.

Incoherent as heck, but somehow she gets a lot of guys.

Is she coming back or not?

Anyway, I was seriously hoping that she wouldn’t be back for Spring so I could room with these two awesome girls. So I was really excited when Squeals was telling everyone she wasn’t coming back for Spring!!

Then rather last minute..she was coming back, so I had to get an apartment fast.

I put a hefty deposit on one.

Then she’s not coming back..and begs me to take her place.

This is annoying.

I do so because the roommates, price, and location are awesome..but I still lose that deposit and I mention it to her.

She didn’t even say sorry or even acknowledge the suckiness of it, which was what I know I would do if I were in her shoes.

She changed her mind three freaking times without thinking about anything.

I was outraged, and so were my roommates so we started plotting together.

Let’s see how she got back at her.

I never had any kind of written lease agreement with this girl, which I knew I could use to my advantage at the end.

I convinced her I was going to take over for the summer, even though I was leaving three months beforehand..

I told her the day I was moving out, and that left Squeals responsible for three months’ rent.

The first roommate really does sound crazy, but sophomore year, at least she got to spend the year living with friends.

This Reddit reader saw a huge red flag.

It probably would’ve been better if she hadn’t moved in with her friends, but except for the stress about whether or not Squeals was actually going to live there, it sounds like her friends were decent roommates.

That first roommate though! Wow! Talk about crazy!
