As many young people can’t afford to live alone, they often need roommates to share the rent and bills. But living with roommates can be far from a fairytale.
As he always does, Jimmy Fallon recently challenged his audience to share the weirdest stories they have about roommate life. See the winners below.
Our snail died, but my roommate didn’t want to break the news to me. So she moved him to a different place in the tank every day to make me think he was still alive. #MyWeirdRoommate https://t.co/ltPVDdnTRA

in college all of a sudden there was a thunderous knocking across the hall; 4 campus police were at the door, screaming WE KNOW ABOUT THE CHICKENS!! Our neighbors opened the door and four chickens— IN CHICKEN DIAPERS— scurried out.
Now THOSE were weird roomies! #MyWeirdRoommate

I always thought my room mate was FaceTiming a long distance GF, turned out it was his family cat. Every Saturday for an hour… #MyWeirdRoommate

I had a roommate that would sleep walk in the middle of the night speaking German…
He was Chinese. #MyWeirdRoommate— Jay Mazo (@iamjaymazo) September 6, 2017
My roommate insisted we push our twin beds together for more space in our dorm. The first night sleeping right next to each other he told me about how he thinks he is possessed by a demon. #MyWeirdRoommate

#MyWeirdRoommate one time my roommate had a guy over and she wasn’t into him at all. I pulled her to the other room and whispered “how’s it going?” and she responded “i dislocated his knee by accident so i can’t break up with him yet”

#MyWeirdRoommate was a heavy snorer. We shared a dorm room and he slept on the top bunk. My girlfriend & I would wait until he started snoring before fooling around. His snores became the soundtrack of our love life.
(Musta worked, we’ve been married 17 years now)

My first flatmate in London was from #Norway, he was terrified of butterflies and spiders, I asked how he could be scared of spiders and he replied with all sincerity ‘Spiders can make you Spider-Man and I’m not ready for that kind of responsibility right now’ #MyWeirdRoommate
