This was all with one flatmate...

I bought bison burgers (expensive...a pack of 8 was $20 CAD at the time) and then actually replaced it...with beef burgers that were $15 for a pack of 20. Not the same thing on a nutritional level (I had to watch my fat intake due to lingering issues after gallbladder removal and was dealing with B12 issues - bison is lower in fat and higher in iron and B12 than beef). His reasoning was that he had seen me eat burgers before, so that should be fine.

When I was making cookies for people at work like I did every year for the holidays, he came into the kitchen and was like, 'That looks good.' and went to grab one from the cooling rack. (They are good. People raved about these cookies.) I told him I'd hurt him if he touched them because it was for gifts for other people. I ended up getting a mini-fridge with a freezer for my room so I could have some food he wouldn't touch. Although one Thanksgiving I had people over and the food wouldn't fit in my mini, so I had to label everything saying that it was for my upcoming guests and if he touched it there would be trouble.

His girlfriends (that I never saw - they always came in and left when I was either asleep or out and I spent a lot of time in my room anyway) would use up all my pads. I went to grab one from a pack that I bought the month before and there were one or two left. They also would use my shampoo and steal my hair clips. (I know the hair clips are a small thing, but when you have a lot of hair and need the bigger ones to contain it all the cost of replacing them adds up over time.) I ended up changing to using a cup instead of pads so they couldn't just take things and kept all of my toiletries in my room. I also switched to the 'no shampoo' method of hair (which actually worked better for my hair) so they couldn't just take my shampoo and conditioner.

He also never bought TP or anything like that, I was the one always supplying that stuff, so that also ended up hidden in my room and he had to get his own. It would have been one thing if he had bought it too for the both of us to use, but he didn't so he was on his own for that.

The final straw came when he was out of town and the police came knocking at the door asking about his girlfriends and if any of them were younger. I had seen shoes of people I didn't know at the door, but I legit never saw them, so I couldn't say what they're ages were. I started looking for a new place that day.

gf pulled a knife on me in a genuine psychotic break. We were done the next day.

Came home unexpectedly to my roommate dividing several pounds of jane. I ran a legit business out of the place, and was cool with his smoke but not like that kind of scale in the house before anything like that was legalized.

Once lived with a lady who (instead of waking me up) broke in to our apartment drunk to get some clothes to go spend the night with someone. And just left the house like that. Left it obviously broken in to, blinds all messed up and stuff. And didn't even tell me. And when i text her at work she denied it up until i said i would call the cops. Turned out she did have her key, she just forgot in her drunken stupor. Also refused to let me put a stick in the window.

There was a lot more

I helped a friend who was losing his place, and sometimes I wonder if he lost his place because he didn't have the forward momentum to live by himself. He didn't do dishes, he did play a lot of LoL. He worked, so it's not like he didn't work. He just wasn't terribly cleanly. He wasn't the most disheveled individual I have ever met (or lived with). I did however bring a friend who was visiting home to catch him boning down. When we made tea, he continued to bone down in the bathroom. We decided to leave shortly after, but that made me sad in a way. It was silly in another, because you know it's fun to say you walked into a house with "four balls and two dicks hanging out." Things got better when he moved out though.

I had a bat find its way into my home, if that counts.
