Actually Not Dumb

It's Actually Not Dumb to Hate Your College Roommate


Listen Later

The first solo episode of Actually Not Dumb is here and we are opening the burn book.

Nobody was brave enough to sit on the couch and tell their horror roommate story in person, so Liz did what any good host would do and collected them from the community instead. But first, she shares her own: a freshman year college roommate who borrowed her shoes and returned them muddy, stole her lunch money, invited a random man to sleep in her bed, and had her fully convinced she was the crazy one the entire time.


Then we get into your submissions. A roommate who left passive aggressive Post-it notes and secretly blogged about her on Xanga. A 1980 summer roommate who banned her from the living room for men she was bringing home and then confiscated the TV as punishment. And the one that will make you never share a toothbrush holder again.

Honest conversations, zero script, a lot of laughs, and one deeply unhinged toothbrush story.

These are our unfiltered thoughts.
