Unless you’ve lived a truly charmed life, you’ve probably shared a place with a roommate or two at one point or another.
Sometimes, this is great and can strengthen friendships . Other times, the opposite can happen.
A tweet from Jimmy Fallon inspired a deluge of hilarious roomie stories.
#MyWeirdRoommate was trending on Twitter.
This tweet from Jimmy Fallon kicked things off, with the promise that some of these stories may appear on his show. Of course, weird roommates are one of the few constants in life, so the tweet got plenty of replies.
Fallon got the ball rolling with this story.
Imagine this: a future SNL star and talk show host and a future doctor living together. Somehow, the doctor was the weird one here (according to Jimmy) for eating chicken nuggets for every single meal.
Could be more gross, I suppose.
Look, the human body is full of potential grossness. But if you’re living with someone, it’s incumbent on you to try to shield them from the disgusting things your body does as much as possible.
The Dude just wanted his rug back.
Unfortunately, this story is part of a running theme in these replies. I guess when you’re young and living with roommates, sometimes using the toilet is too difficult and you have to resort to the neaerest rug.
No. Kill it with fire.
I find those unicorn or horse masks oddly hilarious. Like, just looking at someone wearing one makes me burst out in laughter for no apparent reason. That said, I don’t want to see one in the fridge.
I can almost relate.
I also played a lot of NCAA Football on my PS2 back in my college days (I was obviously a cool kid). But, like an idiot, I failed to write my stats down or store them in the ceiling.
That’s what the belly button is for.
Most of us are suckers who don’t use our belly buttons for anything. This guy found a use for his. You might think it’s gross, and, well, it is. But at least it’s creative.
I need more details.
This tweet never mentions the guy using a bike trainer. Assuming he didn’t own one, does this mean he was going full speed in a small apartment? If so, how? This roomie is more compelling than weird.
Probably time to move out.
A glass half full person might look at this and say, “Well, at least it wasn’t a real head in the freezer.”
A realist would recognize that this anyone who does this is likely a psychopath.
He’s just like a puppy.
I like how this guy’s consistent backup toilet wasn’t something reasonable, like a second toilet or the grass outside. No, it was his t-shirt drawer. I wonder if the crash course in puppy training helped in the long run.
We all have our own style.
Did this person go to school somewhere hot with no air conditioning? If not, I’m not sure why the daily strip-down was necessary. Then again, that isn’t even the weirdest part of this roommate story.
Put it back where you found it.
When you’re in college, your notes are all-important — especially in a data-heavy course like physics. This is not a cool move. At least the roomie didn’t puke in a textbook, because those things are expensive.
I wouldn’t not eat that.
At first, I thought this snack sounded sad and disgusting. Now, I’ve softened. I don’t think it sounds appealing, exactly, but there have been times in my life when I’ve eaten more questionable meals.
Who peed in my bed?
Of course, asking who peed in your bed really makes it seem like you peed in your bed, but in this case, it was the roomie. I wonder what happened after this fateful incident.

Gotta watch out for the bananaphobes.
This story starts out a bit weird with her bananaphobic roommate, then veers wildly out of control. You read it here first, folks: if you ever meet someone who hates bananas, they’ll probably sleep with your boyfriend.
She sounds nice.
I think that borrowing clothes from roomies is a gendered thing that women do far more than men. This story makes me glad that none of my clothes were stolen during my time living with friends.
Creepy, creepy.
The catch-22 with roommates is that sometimes you just want to drown out the sound with noise-cancelling headphones. The drawback, of course, is that shutting out the noise makes it far easier for them to creep on you.
Great first impression.
In a locker room setting, you don’t really have a choice with this stuff. You have to get naked and shower while talking with your teammates. But outside of this setting, it’s a reasonable expectation that you can shower alone.
She sounds like the anxious type.
This roommate sounds either overly anxious or overly observant. If one of my roommates had died while I lived with them, it probably would have taken me a good day or two to even notice.
Doing his homework.
Let’s close this out with a truly chilling tale from someone who probably lived with a future serial killer.
