Some people are lucky to have easygoing roommates, but not everyone is so fortunate. In this collection, people share their worst roommate experiences—some are so extreme they feel like they’re from a movie.

The Story:
I lived with my roommate for two years before she suddenly disappeared. She was always cheerful and happy, but one day, she was gone without a trace. Despite police efforts, no one could find her, and even her parents lost hope.

Five years later, while cleaning her room to sell the house, I moved a dresser and discovered a hidden hole in the wall. Inside, I found a stack of notes that read, “If I ever disappear, you need to urgently look for me at Jake’s cabin in the mountains.”

Jake was her boyfriend. He had a bad temper, but she stayed with him because she loved him. I remembered her talking about how “controlling and unpredictable” he was, but at the time, I didn’t think much of it. After finding the notes, I immediately contacted the police.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Jake had disappeared as well, and the last anyone knew, he had moved to Europe. Too much time had passed since she went missing.

To this day, I still think about that letter and wonder what really happened.
