Ladies, please tell me about your horrible roommate stories to make me feel a little bit better about mine.

Most of these are about messy roommates. Mine is different. My roommate in grad school was very clean. BUT...

We were both in the same grad program. It was a very difficult and stressful program. So we started the semester and we are about to have our first exam. We invited other people over and were all studying together, quizzing each other, etc. Each of us answers most of the questions that someone asks, but not her. She answers all of them. We are all joking with her, telling her she is ready for it and can probably go to bed because she will ace this thing. But no. She sits in the corner, chewing at her nails, studying frantically, crying. We tried to make her feel better. It didn't work. Eh, anyway. The exam comes and goes. It was brutal as hell. I come back to the apartment upset but otherwise fine. She is bawling her eyes out. I start panicking, thinking I should be crying too, because, you know, if this person who knew all the answers the night prior is crying, then why am I not as upset as her??? So we feed off each other's frustration over the exam. She aces it, I get a high B. Whatever, it's over. BUT THEN she starts acting weird. She would go home (she lives close) the night before every exam and every weekend. I didn't care much for it as I had the apartment to myself and it was glorious. Then by the end of the year, she told me she left before every exam because I made her nervous. Apparently my anxiety was so overwhelming that it transferred onto her. Um excuse me... MY ANXIETY? I had a normal reaction to a difficult exam, you had a reaction from hell, which transferred onto ME! I haven't spoken to her in 3 years.
