This one’s for everyone who’s ever had a roommate horror story… or survived one.

This week, we scroll straight into Reddit’s darkest roommate tales: from petty revenge to straight-up terrifying encounters. We spiraled while listening to shocking, often dangerous confessions from Redditors whose roommates were anything but chill.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes stories involving violence, drug use, mental illness, suicidal threats, and assault. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

A Victoria’s Secret model hoarding dirty toilet paper? Check. A NICU nurse with a felony assault charge and a taste for chaos? Check. A guy who leaves a crack pipe and strangers in your apartment and steals your guitar? Also, check. And somehow, it only gets worse from there.

This episode is wild, unsettling, and very validating if you’ve ever walked on eggshells in your own home. Plus, Gen recalls a housemate’s worst nightmare: when a pipe leak turns a college basement into a literal cesspool.

And yes, we still haven’t finished BTK. You’re welcome. (It is coming; we promise.)

"That’s Genevieve." "And that’s Kaitlyn."

Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled. Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and Reddit rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor.
