Everybody has had a bad roommate; if you haven't, you're probably the bad roommate. It is not that hard to clean up after yourself, communicate, and be considerate of the people you live with, yet many people struggle with it.

I've heard so many roommate horror stories through the grapevine that are almost hard to believe. Somebody I know lived with someone who peed in the kitchen sink, and she walked in on him doing it. If you are wondering, yes, there were dishes in the sink. I have also heard of a roommate who hid the ant infestation in her room from the other roommates until the ants were literally marching one by one out of her room and throughout the rest of the apartment. One Twitter user, feeling bad about their roommate woes, asked the people of Twitter to share their stories, and some of them were utterly disgusting.
