“Caught In The Act”: 30 Stories Of Roommates Being Weird When They Thought They Were Alone
In many places of the world, we are increasingly living with one another. In the United States, for example, 31.9% of households are "doubled up," meaning people share them with at least one adult who isn't a spouse, romantic partner, or college student (in 2004, the figure was 27.4%).
Sometimes, these arrangements cause all sorts of awkward situations. So when last week Reddit user EnchantedSophia asked others on the platform "What's the weirdest thing you've caught your roommate doing when they thought no one was watching?" many submitted their juicy stories.

I woke up to find my room-mate at his drawing desk wearing boxer shorts on his head. I didn't broach the matter at first.
The landlord was due to arrive shortly for the cheques, and so I put it to him at last "Dave - you've got boxer shorts on your head."
To this day I still remember him languidly turning around, boxer shorts and all, asking what I'd just said. When I repeated myself he suddenly went "oh, s**t, s**t!" and tore them off his head, blushing.
When I asked why he'd been wearing them in the first place he said that since he'd started growing his hair out it had started to get into his eyes while he was drawing at his desk, and it was the only thing he had to hand right then to solve the problem.
Dave could be a pain in the a*s a lot of the time, but he had these moments that reminded me that - yes, he was human after all.

My roommate eats dinner in the dark. Scares the hell out of me when I go into the kitchen and flip the lights on and reveal someone already there.
We call it dark dinner.

This one makes me laugh; that's totally me. I'm sensitive to light, when it's dark. So if I enter a dark/dimly lit room; and don't intend to be there long, I don't turn the light on. I see VERY well in the dark. I have done this..... (Startle people in a dark room. Not "dark dinner")

Hit on my girlfriend. He thought I was out having a smoke, but I decided to grab a drink first and heard him say, “he’ll never know.” Luckily I also heard her say, “yes, but I would, and I could not say I love him and do something like that.” She then tried to find me to tell me something. I played dumb, and got to hear her say that she doesn’t like my room mate, and that he had hit on her when I left. We started spending more time at her place after that.

One of my good buds roomed with me right before covid. I'm not an emotional roller-coaster, but when we lived together I was going through some relationship drama and I did cry with him a few times. He's one of the guys that feels that men shouldn't have feelings, especially express them. I got home a lot earlier than I usually do one night, and before I got to the door I heard him crying. I peeked in a window and he was holding a stuffed animal his mom gave him, just rocking back and forth crying. I never told him I saw him, I waited in my car for a half hour and came in and he was watching TV. It was nice to see he had a heart and needed to cry sometimes too.

I really wish this was more widely accepted. I am usually quite stoic but the last time i had a solid ugly cry was when my puppers of 16yrs died last year. I was forced to go to work and was actually transferred from that location that night because my mom called me at 3am to tell me hurley passed when i was on my lunch break, it took me 10 minutes extra to compose myself and go back to work. I told my boss i did exactly what i needed to get composed and it's heartless that after hearing what I've been going through (the month prior due to medical negligence my father was literally in his death bed.) My site manager told me the client wanted me gone and he worked his a**e off to get me a new posting instead of me getting fired because besides that my work was perfection.

One time I came home from work to find my roommates car parked diagonally, still running on the driveway. The front door was wide open (it's the dead of winter in canada) and his jacket laying there a few feet away from the door, his shoes kicked off, one a few feet from the jacket, and the other a few feet from the first. I called out to see if he was okay, and as it turned out, he had gone out for teppanyaki and had very narrowly avoided s******g his pants in the worst way. Very very funny moment.

My first college roommate came back from the bathroom with a huge roll of toilet paper. Walks to the mini-fridge, gets a can of spray cheese. He breaks off like 4 squares of TP at a time, folding into a single square. Then sprays cheese into the middle, folds it like a pierogi and eats it in a single bite.

Didn't happen to me but a friend of mine was renting the main floor of a two story house in college. There was an odd cat lady renting the upstairs floor who had a separate entrance. She must've had agoraphobia because he never saw her leave her place. Her odd behavior was actually hilarious. She would lower her cat inside of a basket out of her window to the ground in the back yard. The cat would sniff around the yard, go to the bathroom, then get back into the basket and she would reel it back up to the second floor. None of us believed him till we saw it ourselves. He just got used to it lol.

Idk about walking in one someone else BUT, I thought my Roomate was gone for the week on a trip since they left to the airport a couple hours before. I had a date that night with this really cute gal, and I was getting ready. Got the point when I got out the shower, Give Me Everything by Pitbull and NeYo was playing (lol) and I was singing and dancing all over the house in my underwear. With my brush in hand, pretending it was a microphone, I was shaking my hips like Shakira getting hot, and my Roomate walked in. He missed his flight and rescheduled for the next day, and I missed his calls since I had my phone faced down. He told me he would pretend he didn’t see anything. Good guy lmao.

I once walked in the house after work to find my former roommate perched on the arm of the couch, screeching like a pterodactyl. He didn’t hear me come in so I hid in the kitchen and observed as he occasionally would hop from chair to chair, screeching. Eventually I couldn’t hold the laughter in. I guess he forgot to take his meds for a few days and had a flare up but we still laugh about that to this day.

I caught my piece of s**t roommate trying to drag a girl into his room by her arm. It was around 3am and I was the only sober one. His cousin, the third roommate, was a cop and didn’t even try to stop it. She was yelling at him to stop and that’s what got me out of my room. I just separated them and walked her and her friend to the door.
Moved out quickly after that, and my old roommate emailed my dad talking s**t about me, called me a cockblock, and I got to explain to my 72 year old father what exactly that was.

I made cookies and had them out on a cooling rack. The kitchen area was completely open to the living room, where I was sitting on the couch.

Caught a roommate trying to sneak all her stuff out one gym bag at a time in order to move out and not pay all the back rent she owed. Her mom ended up paying after we threatened a court filing.
Her room which we hadn't seen the inside of for a year, was the most disgusting s**t I have ever seen in my life.
EDIT: Since I was asked for more details, the room was like a hoarders episode. All our missing dishes, cookware, and cutlery were found all over the room and under the bed with dried or moldy food. Used tampons were found in various places including stuck to the wall. Used condoms as well. Trash everywhere. Moldy coffee cups. Stains of all sorts, on the walls and carpet. The original colors of both were impossible to discern. Also tons of liquor bottles due to her drinking problem. Her desk and bed (she left all her furniture) were so covered in garbage in filth you couldn't even tell there was a bed or desk underneath. I'm pretty sure she was also wiping boogers on the wall beside her bed.
She would also have guys she met online come over for hookups which is insane to me. If some girl invited me in to a room like that I would be out the door so f*****g fast.

Fellow men... It's perfectly fine to sit down to pee. It's quieter, less messy, and if the stream starts off as a spray it still all goes where it should. It's so dumb that many people think that defines your gender, or sex or whatever.

In reality, every drain attachment in your house is a "toilet". You push molded, other science projecty stuff down the kitchen sink. The bathtub/shower gets ALLLLLLLL your hair, and especially anything on those loose hairs that fall away, which includes bodily fluids (or maybe even some solids/mostly solids). And what about vomit? I know people who refuse to use the toilet and just use the closest sink (but make sure to wash it down). So let's face it....these "drains of the house" have seen a LOT worse than excess human water.

It's me. I'm the roommate. I thought I was at the house by myself. That key and peele skit "east vs west bowl" had just come out and the names were hilariously catchy. Davoin Showerhandle was stuck in my head, I couldn't get it out, and I just started shouting it out loudly again and again and again. That was until I heard my roommate burst out laughing in the living room. He had been quietly reading a book for like two hours. Thought I was alone...... **DAVOIN SHOWERHANDLE**.

In freshman year I had a suite situation where me and my roommate shared a bathroom with another room next door. One of the guys in that room was this dude who just had the most questionable hygiene practices. He’d dye his hair black every other day, seemingly never took showers, and was usually just a menace with other people’s things.
One day though, me and my other roommates noticed that all our toilet paper was going missing, which was odd since it was being provided in frankly ridiculous amounts by my super generous roommate, like more toilet paper than 4 people could conceivably use over the course of one year was just gone.
Eventually, we figured out this dude was going into the bathroom, soaping up, and toilet papering himself till he was dry. A set of circumstances we only figured out due to a number of unfortunate walk-ins mid act.
Dude also stored a jar of white liquid in the freezer next to food, that he only described as ‘human juices’.

I had a roommate who would wake up at 5 am everyday and go to the bathroom for at least an hour, which was connected to my room.
He would blow his nose, hack, and flush the toilet about 500 times while in there. One day I went into the bathroom and the toilet was FULL of toilet paper. Wtf was he doing?! We never had any left, so I started hiding it.

Check out #10. I had roommate who had a girlfriend that stayed over at least 5 nights a week. I don't think they bought a roll of TP the whole time he/they were there. They had a 1/2 bath outside their door, but always used the one upstairs, we always had TP. We started taking our rolls with us back to our rooms triggering huge bouts of passive aggressive BS over there "never being any TP in the house". No, Eric, we had plenty but hid that, our soap and shampoo from you and your heifer girlfriend.

One year in college some girl's drunk boyfriend peed in the corner of the dorm hall way thinking he was in the bathroom.

Uh, that paperish stuff needs to go before. The root center, also, is usually just bitter and doesn't taste much else, so off, that, too. Then, I'm fine with this. Onions are great! But then again, ... raw onions are nice with, say, a cucumber, a nice seed oil, dill, lemon juice, a tad of this, that, such and them ... cucumber salad is a great side dish. If it's made correctly and all, I'd prefer a bowl thereof and dry bread over any and every canned soup - overlooking salsds, as they're "only a side", and therefore don't deserve effort ... well, your loss, then. Make it good, and it's a meal. Make it mediocre, and it's a side. Fuggy Dub, and embarrass yourself, if you have guests.

So, I grabbed my cereal, sat next to him, said "I've never seen an anime! What is this one about?" He mumbled something, took the DVD out, and went back to his room.

Eh, anime just means cartoons in Japanese. It could even mean Donald Duck to a Japanese person but even in the western mind, it is just Japanese cartoons. It is not pörnography!

Anyways, one day I come home on break and he doesn't know I'm there, I hear talking coming from his bedroom. He is lifting weights in the mirror staring at himself basically shouting "I AM NOT A LOSER, I WILL SELL THESE PRODUCTS, I WILL BE RICH, I WILL SUCCEED" and so forth. He was so in the zone that he did not see me standing there, and I never brought it up to him. He basically lost all his friends and money for years due to that stupid cult pyramid scheme. He eventually got out when the guy who brought him in started f*****g his girlfriend. He's still kind of weird.

So this older guy (probably 40s or 50s but I don't know. I was 17 at the time) was apparently addicted to opiates. This was back in 2000ish when meth was all the rage so I didn't know what I was looking at. Anyway! Our kitchen had a big interior window thing so people in the living room could see whoever was standing at the stove. He was falling asleep while cooking food. Like he was standing with a spatula over a pan and his body would slowly drop and sag then her kinda jerk half awake. This went on for what felt like a long time. Eventually there were four of us all staring at him from only a few feet away and he never noticed us. Just kept nodding off over the stove.

***Bobby, you still scare me.*** 30 years ago, I opened the door to the bathroom, and Bobby was leaned over, staring into the mirror, mad-dogging himself, shaking his fists, and growling threats of the a*s whooping he was about to put on someone. For context, he had been getting bullied mercilessly at work for no reason. He kept to himself and was very kind. Many of his coworkers were late teens, early 20s. They made sport of him every chance they got. This is how school shootings happen. Anyway, I pushed the door quietly back and never mentioned it.

I hope he never made good on those threats. One wrong move, and you go from the victim to the villan.

We weren't roommates exactly, but it was four bedrooms that's shared a bathroom and kitchen. We had this sponge scrubber with a chamber for dish soap, caught Idaho using it to clean the toilet. Also found out Idaho would use the bathroom hand towel to dry his body after showering. Idaho was trash. I started keeping all my stuff in my room after that.

Not a huge thing, but... I got up in the middle of teh night to take a leak, and I caught her at 3AM drinking the brine out of my jar of pickles.

Pickle juice is an almost instant cure for persistent leg cramps (which my boyfriend gets regularly....because reasons...). I always have at least one jar of pickle juice in the fridge at all times, specifically for this purpose.

My roommate does this as a hangover cure. Just this morning, I had to mix up new brine to cover the pickles.

Honestly I love pickle juice. But also maybe not out of someone else's jar.

Some people love that stuff and as it is basically fermented to a certain degree, it's good for you in smaller amounts! Eating the pickle or sauerkraut is better though!

It wasn't me! But it helps with heartburn. Might have been desperate.

At uni, my best friend lived in a house share with all uni students except one man in his 60's. He was friendly enough but pretty gross. He would come home from work, break raw eggs into his plaster covered hands (he was a plasterer) one by one and lap and slurp up the egg from them for his dinner when he thought he had the kitchen to himself. One day we got back from lectures and he said there was rabbit in the fridge if we wanted some. We opened the fridge and found 2 foul smelling, unprepared rabbits that were covered in fleas.

My college dorm was connected to another room with a bathroom in the middle. Two people per room so the 4 of us shared a bathroom. The two guys in the other room weren't computer savvy and my roommate was so my roommate helped them set up their computers to connect to the internet (this was was before everything was plug and play). I knew just enough to do it myself. Afterward, my super innocent-seeming roommate who had probably never done anything mean ever looks at me and says, "I set it so I could access their computers any time. Just in case we want to prank them or something." I was shocked. But as a prankster myself, very impressed. One of the guys had a girlfriend. When they were alone in his room, my roommate would send gay porn to his printer. Then we'd hear him trying to explain what happened to his GF. But that's besides the point. The other guy was pretty weird. Really antisocial. Went home every weekend. I asked him why he goes home every weekend and he told me his mom tapes Dragon Ball Z for him so he goes home to watch that. At one point my roommate decided that he wanted to see what that guy had been looking at on the internet. Big mistake. I'm not normally one to kink shame but this guy was into cartoon porn. Like lots of it. And his routine was to fire it up right when his roommate left for class. Also, one day I walked into our shared bathroom and there was a turd just hanging out in the middle of the bath mat. I flipped my s**t because that's just gross. I know it wasn't mine. I doubt it was my roommate because it was his bath mat. The guy with the GF was out of town at the time. That left cartoon guy. He quietly went to the bathroom and cleaned it up. I still don't understand what happened.

I mean, if you look up internet history you'd better be prepared for what you'll find. People can be sick when hiding behind a keyboard.
