TRANSCRIPT

You know what time it is? It’s story time. Hey, I said it’s story time. Alright, so I want to tell you guys something that happened to me that had me and my friends. Rolling. All right. So I have had many roommates. I’ve lived with a lot of people between college and being a missionary in South Korea.

I’ve had to live with many different people in different apartments and different dorm rooms, and I’m okay with everyone, right? But I had one roommate that honestly, from the moment I met this roommate. I did not like this roommate. So let me explain what happened. So I moved into a new apartment when I was in South Korea, and I already had one roommate.

She and I even to this day, were still extremely close friends, and we were happy again. We were getting to know each other as we were, you know, setting up our rooms. And while we were talking one day, we realized that we had another roommate. Now, initially, she and I thought that we were the only ones that we were gonna be living together.

Right? But one day when we were sitting in the kitchen. We realized that we had quite a few roommates. Now, if you are, uh, following along, I think you know where this story is going. You see, my friend and I, I’m a very clean person. My friend is also, I can say even now, a very clean person, but when we moved into the apartment, the previous individuals were not as clean.

So our new roommates. Were hundreds of roaches. Even thinking about it makes my flesh crawl. You guys can look that one up. Now I wanna tell you again about a specific roommate. Again, there were many roaches and we had to figure out how we were gonna get rid of the roache. So she and I, we were terrified.

We did not like roaches, right? So we would clean every day, clean the kitchen, clean the bathroom. We scrubbed everything. But again, the previous tenants, the previous individuals, unfortunately, had not kept a clean apartment. So these new roommates were there. So one night after spending all day cleaning, my friend and I, my roommate, the actual roommate and I were both tired, and she went to bed and I went to my room.

So I went inside my room and I closed my door. I changed my clothes getting ready to go to bed, and I opened my drawer. I needed to get some socks. And when I opened my drawer, that’s when I met my other roommate. Sitting on top of my clothes was one single roach in my drawer on top of the clothes. But the interesting thing was when I opened the drawer.

He wasn’t scared. I opened the drawer and I was literally about this close, about that close to him, but I had been so traumatized. I didn’t even scream. I looked at the roach and the roach looked back at me like, Hey girl, what’s up? I see you moved in your room. Looks nice. And I actually started talking to the Roach.

True story, y’all. I said, here’s the deal. Apparently you’re a new roommate. As long as I never see you again, we’re not gonna have a problem. And I feel like the roach said, okay. I literally closed the drawer back and I got in my bed and went to sleep. Now, listen, I can laugh about this now. Praise God. A few weeks later, we were able to get rid of all the roaches.

It was a, a very traumatizing experience. We had to call family members in America to get some tips and tricks, but we eventually got rid of all of those roommates. But whenever we talk about that night and that specific roommate, man, it makes my friends and I laugh so hard. We always roll when we talk about that situation.

So maybe you’ve also had an unwanted roommate and maybe you’ve had to figure out ways of getting rid of that roommate. A lot of times your traumatizing experience, later on when you think about it, you actually can laugh about it. I hope you guys enjoyed this story and I’ll talk to you guys next time.
