Psychotic Roommate

I know I've talked (complained, ranted, whatever...) to a few people about my psychotic roommate. But I promise, he really is nutso. To recap the highlights of my last year of living with him, here's a condensed version of the events:
  • refusal to pay bills to the point I threatened to shut off electricity (and would have if the other roommate didn't step in and take it over);
  • demanding immediate payment on his bills or he would "take further measures" (I waited 2 weeks to pay him once.)
  • advising my other roommate and I to call the cable company ourselves to add more lines to his bill when he didn't want to put cable anywhere but his room and the living room (umm, what company would say "sure, i can add that to someone else's account!"?)
  • eating my sole package of broccolli and cheese, denying it, then asking where he could buy more to replace it (if he had bought it in the first place, wouldn't you think he'd know where to find more?!)
  • hiding the phone for the household phone line
  • drinking all my wine the day after I opened the last bottle I had (nope, no replacement either!)

Here's the fun one, though! My roommate told me this, but it absolutely without a doubt paints the third roommate to a T:

M (the good roommate) comes downstairs to make waffles for herself one morning. She takes them from the freezer, pops them in the toaster oven, then decides to go back upstairs while they're cooking to get dressed. M comes back down 10 minutes later to find her waffles missing from the toaster. Knowing that only C (the psycho rooommate) is in town for the weekend, she goes to his bedroom door and knocks. C opens the door with his mouth full of waffles and asks what's up. M asks him if he ate her waffles. HE DENIES IT! M calls him out on it and asks him to replace them...

But what on earth!?!? Who takes someone else's food that they're cooking?!! He is deranged and completely inconsiderate!!!

I can't wait to get rid him from my life.
