I could write a novel over the bad roommate I'd had. I had to legally evict
her and then sue her. My next roommate was a cop. So when stores began
calling about her bad checks, they wouldn't believe me when I said she had
moved. After that, my new roommate answered as Officer ______ and told them
just to take legal action against her as we had. Worked like a dream!
