[ad#right]As I said in my Rethinking 2010 post I wanted to work on more projects and this is my first one. Have you ever had a bad roommate? I sure have and I realized there really isn’t anywhere online to complain and rant about your bad roommate. So I decided to create I Hate My Roommate, I place where you can put your roommate on blast! I have collected a few stories from friends and I have quite a few of my own on that will be going up on the site in the coming weeks. The site really isn’t there to make any money or anything like that, just something fun to do.

Right now we have it so anyone can submit and story, but we also have a thing called Dear Roommate where you can write a short blurb about what is bothering you about your roommate currently. That is located on the side of the page.

The site is of course based on WordPress so it is very easy to update and of course I can schedule posts, which makes things a whole lot easier. My friend Jack helped modify the layout and he did some extra coding for the site as well.

We really hope that the site catches on and we have people submitting stories to us everyday! Already many of our friends enjoy the site and I hope you do too! If you have any suggestions or comments on the site please let me know and make sure to follow I Hate My Roommate on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook!

    That’s totally an awesome concept Bob, I could really see this working out especially if it catches on, Social media will be your friend in this one! By the way… I highly recommend trying to get the .com version of this domain just to protect yourself from others taking away your awesome idea if it really takes off.

    This is really a solid move that you’ve done. It’ll appeal, as Car Battery said, to the social media sites — digg, reddit, stumbleupon — which can really send a considerable amount of traffic. If you don’t already have one, it wouldn’t hurt to find someone to do social media for your network of sites. Just a thought.

    Bob, I visited this site and I was laughing out at work. I wish I had a crappy room mate I could share, or saved pics from my previous room mate.

    Hopefully with time though!

    I Hate My Roommate sounds like a very interesting social project. I would like to see the stats when you start rolling good and proper. In the meantime I am going to head over and see what it is all about.

    I think the odds of that are pretty rare, unless you give specific details that would make your roommate know you are talking about him. I would hope at that point you are not living with him or her, hehe.

    I am pretty sure that there is a huge market for this. So Funny yet so True. I am sure there would be some stories. I have heard some myself that were pretty bad.

    Yeah buddy i had this experience before. I can feel how irritating to have a bad
    roommate. If he/she not help you at your prime time then its good for nothing.

    You need to make a site called “I hate my girlfriend” with the same theme!

    each individual is unique and has different characteristics.some people are good, some are bad..some people are lazy. and etc. I have also a room mate has the same attitude with your room mate.he made our room like a garbage can.the trash is scattered.
    the moment I entered the room, it smells bad. but my room mate he did not even attempt to clean our room.
    so sad to have room mate like that

    im in my first year of uni and while most people become bff with their roommates, luck would have it that I get stuck with a narcissistic spoilt daddy’s boy,.. he’s a brat and always goes around with this sense of supremity that really pisses me off..
    in the beginning i’ve tried being nice and making friends, but it was hopeless.. .
    i’ve tolerated a few months so far but i don’t know how much more I can take !
    HELP!!
