Here are a handful of the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>1. The soldiers who needed a babysitter<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I kept getting the roommates who needed a \u201cgood influence,\u201d meaning that my first roommate would turn on Terminator really loud when he was having sex while I was asleep and once asked a stripper to kiss me awake so I would party with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another wandered over to my side regularly in his underwear to just stand and look at my stuff, usually while playing with his belly button. It was my fault when he showed up to a uniform inspection with a literal mustard stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My last roommate on active duty would play [World of Warcraft] until he passed out and his head dropped between his knees and turned purple. But if I woke him up, he would start playing again instead of going to sleep. So I started just wondering whether it would cause a clotting issue while trying to ignore him sleeping like that. [None] of them consistently turned lights off. \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justlogannye\" target=\"_blank\">@justlogannye<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>2. The guy who had to wrestle his drunk buddies<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my buddies and I were drinking at the barracks before deployment. He had already downed a fifth of Jack Daniels and a six pack, then wanted to drive and get some more. I was drunk, but not drunk enough to think that was a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He starts waking to his truck. After repeatedly asking him to stop, I tackled him, then pinned him. He kept insisting on getting in his truck. People started coming out of their rooms, thinking it\u2019s just a barracks fight \u2014 you know, to spectate. It took a good while to explain what he was attempting. People finally caught on, and the whole barracks just mobs him, carries him back to his room, forces him to drink water, etc. I have no clue what would have happened if he got behind the wheel. If he got caught, no deployment. And it could have been way worse than that. \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexKish1\" target=\"_blank\">@AlexKish1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>3. The soldiers who almost burned down Benning<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Fort Benning in 1989, my new roommate set his shoe polish on fire, then set me on fire, and shortly after the room was also on fire. \u2014 Thomas Hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>4. The roommates who went on a casual ceiling walk<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Schofield Barracks, 2001, we left foot prints on our ceiling from a keg party. Never noticed them until a white glove inspection. Thank God our first sergeant was a cool dude. \u2014 Matt McAnally<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>5. These monsters who left behind poop to scoop<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were in the reception barracks and were doing morning room inspections when the NCOIC came by the room next door [which] was unlocked and vacant. Someone had been pooping and not flushing that toilet. The entire bowl was full past the seat. That room smelled like death \u2014 of course we had to clean it up because we lived on that floor. \u2014 Sirhc Espinas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>6. The murderous motorcyclist<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My roommate was rebuilding his motorcycle in our room at Fort Richardson. It was a mess. We had to prepare for an inspection the next morning. I told my supervisor about it. He then told the 1SG. My roommate was told to clean it up. That night I had a knife at my throat. My roommate said that he was going to kill me for telling on him. Of course he didn\u2019t. \u2014 Matt Pote<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>7. The baggage claim boyfriend<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My buddy was inspecting a room for morning barracks check and he saw a suitcase move a little. When he unzipped it a naked girl was inside. \u2014 Scott McDaniel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>8. The soldier who left the new resident a tasty treat<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Found about 20 boxes of empty pizza boxes in my dropped ceiling from [the] previous soldier who was too lazy to take them out. \u2014 Denis Tchourioumov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>**Responses have been edited for
