8 Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day Without Going Broke
Bad roommates come in many forms: the Complete Slob, the Weeknight Party Thrower and, of course, the Moaning Nympho. But a money-extorting, force-feeding, Clearasil-hoarding nutbar in China gives them all a run for their money.
College student Li Jiao supposedly told her roommates that she was the granddaughter of a mob boss. The other five women sharing the apartment fell for the lie, and, for two whole years, followed her sadistic "Mean Girls"-style orders for fear of getting "whacked."
Under Li Jao's bat-crap insane regime, her roommates paid for her diet pills and plastic surgery while she forced them to put on pounds under threat of punishment; one girl who failed to gain 30 pounds in a month was denied the right to wash her face for three months.
Ultimately, one of the girls escaped and told her family everything. Wacky prankster Li Jao claims it was all just for "fun" (huge lolz, Li Jao), but she's been charged with blackmail by Chinese authorities.

first ever roomie played enya at 8AM AND SANG ALONG. she thought my friends and music was headache inducing. uh huh. fast forward two years and had another roomie that didn't want to share a thing. fine. but the lying was the last straw. i left. found out she wanted a "free" room. according to our school's housing rules, if you can ditch your roomie AFTER the two week movie in, switch roomies while there are still rooms date, you get to stay in the room by yourself without paying the single price. she was also using our suitemates computers whenever she felt like it. they wish i'd fought her charges but i didn't feel like it. esp since the roommates i got after that were REALLY cool. you win some, you lose some. in the end, i won. my parents were tired of hearing about my roommate issues, so they let me get an on-campus apartment by myself. trust me, it was sooooooooooo worth it.

I had a roomie a year ago that was a huge mistake. I use to work with her and only hung out with her a few times before she moved in. I thought it would be cool to have a roomie and she seemed nice, but she started to get really weird the 1st week. She constantly hit on my fiance, raided the fridge, kinda weird to my puppy, brought numerous strange men home each night, and came home totally blizted!! She constantley had pregnancy scares like every 2 weeks! I tried helping her but she freaked out and said I was being a Nazi. Needless to say, I kicked her out.

I'm currently living with a crazy roommate, thankfully it's only for 1 more week. He's had about 6 jobs since I moved in here, his reasons for leaving were always because of his boss being a jerk. He's a teacher now, loves his job. He knew I had 2 cats when I moved in, forced me to get rid of one, couldn't find a home for him, so had to put him to sleep, it was better to do that than put him through the trauma of a shelter where he would end up being put to sleep anyway. The second cat he kicked out of the house, found her once, he did it again, could not find her the second time. Got another cat with his permission, it is his house after all, he was a beautiful ragdoll, he disappeared too. He will not admit to anything. See, the thing is, he needs me to live here because he can't afford his mortgage on his own, besides the fact that he doesn't know how to handle his money. I can't do it anymore, his kids, 2 of them, both ADHD, are just like him. They all lie, they shout instead of talking, they play their music and the TV at full blast, he's forever yelling at his son, not his daughter, she can do no wrong. She's 11, hangs around with a 17 year old just about every weekend. This girl dyed her hair blond and pierced her nose, all without his permission, allowed her to keep it. I was insane to move in here, was an empty nester. Moved in because he wanted help with his kids, didn't listen to a thing I said, am finally going back to being an empty nester. Got a great deal on an apt, retired from my job, finally have a stable income, and now can finally get out of here. THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
