What is your "crazy roommate" story?

I watched one of my good friends turn completely crazy while living with him in our early 20s. So I was looking for a new place to live and My friend Jay had an extra room in his apartment. He had a decent job working as a mechanic so I figure everything would be good. Here's some highlights.

-quit his fucking job the week i moved in thinking that he didn't need it anymore since he had someone to split bills with (WTF?)

-Would complain all fucking day about wanting a girlfriend and complaining about how he didn't have one.

-He would literally tell me endless stories about how poeple and his family were out to get him and talking about him behind his back.(This is when i realized that he was becoming severely mentally ill)

  • He legit would not let me have any alone time. Dude would just come into my room when my door was shut and start telling me EVERYTHING about his day. (also had a girlfriend at this point so very awkward)

-Full on fucking slob. Would leave food everywhere. Would contantly smoke blunts and leave blunt guts and fucking weed everywhere.

-Never flushed the toilet. I would come home every day to massive shits sitting in the toilet.

-Dude would bring prostitutes into our fucking house and then chill with them after and like force me to join the hangout.

-Tried telling me my girlfriend wasn't allowed to come over because he was jealous that he didn't have one. (WTF????)

-Randomly came home with a fucking full grown pitbull that just had brain surgery that he got from a shelter (No dogs allowed in this apartment). Landlord basically told him to get rid of the dog or move out. Jay then asks me if i want the dog instead not realizing that we fucking live together.

-Started legit stalking this poor girl that worked at the corner store near our place. She had to take out a restraining order on him because he wouldn't leave her alone about dating him. After fully knowing she was lesbian. He would always say to me " i'm going to turn her straight , she just needs a good dick"

-He was basically insane and lived in his own world and made his own reality. Like he legit thought everything revolved around him. lets say friend A says he cant come hang out today for X reason. He would make his own reality and start saying " I know friend A hated me. He probably not coming out just piss me off". He would go on for HOURS about this

-Systematically made enemies out of all his friends due to his paranoia

-Would often get extremely mad at me and say cryptic things like " I know what you say about me, these walls are thin" and "I hear everything bro, i know what you've been saying"

-Started dating his sister in law who was like 9 years older then him and had 2 kids out of fucking no where

-Decided to move in with her after a week of dating . He told me expecting me to be angry but i was so fucking happy. I knew it would not work out and he would inevitable attempt to move back in . So literally that week I found a new roommate to take his place.

-Shows up a week after moving out , begging me to let him move back in . I didn't let him and he became borderline violent.

-Ended up joining the military for no reason and now hes running around somewhere with an assault rifle.

  • Oh yeah, the day before he left for basic training he showed up at my door step and tried giving me a fucking full grown cat to take care of while he was gone. I was like nah man i'm allergic
