What Odd Behavior have you endured from a Roommate?

So, you found a way to pass the buck because you found him odd?

In the Army when I was a geographical bachelor in Fairbanks, Alaska, the guy I was forced to room with at the time was a chain smoker. Even with the zero tolerance policy for smoking indoors, he was a problem. Wake up, smoke. Before 1st formation, smoke. After PT, smoke. After breakfast, smoke. I mean every g--damn time I was around that guy, he was smoking a cigarette! AND ALWAYS IN A NON-SMOKING AREA! I finally told him, "Look...IDGAMF if you ruin YOUR lungs with it because that's YOUR body! But if I have to stay here, you can't smoke! He laughed, took a draw off his cigarette, and blew the smoke in my face. I responded with a right elbow to his left temple which stunned him, got him in a chokehold, drug him over to the 3rd story window of our room, hung him out of it, and asked him, "IS IT STILL F---IN' FUNNY?!?" He never smoked around me again. Yes, that was the wrong way to handle it, but I already knew that I wasn't going to get anywhere with the chain of demand and NCO abort channel.

I had a roommate who went a little off center when he drank, which he did to excess at times. When he got drunk, he would sit up in nearly a fetal position and refuse to get off the bed because he was afraid of the demons in the room. He would, if he got drunk in a bar, break glasses on his own forehead, and he would swallow non-food items like collar brass, unit crests, etc. Eventually, he was taken for a ride from the barracks by the military police and given a new barracks room with padded walls.
