Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that repairing my car will cost more than it's worth. I'm barely making it paycheck to paycheck and I had to sleep in that car several nights this week after getting thrown out of my sister's house. Now I need a room AND a car. FML
Today, I told my roommate she had to pay $55 to replace a piece of the oven she broke. She told me I was being selfish and decided to illegally break our lease because I was, "making her feel unsafe." Now I not only have to pay for the oven repair, I also have to pay her next two month's rent. FML
Today, one of my roommates blew a fuse by running a personal heater on full overnight. I notified our landlady that I had to get a new fuse; she came over to pay me for it. Only as I heard landlady's horn did I see another roommate's girlfriend's car; she stayed overnight and isn't allowed to. Both roomies got evicted and blamed me. FML
Today, my second roommate in less then a week got a DUI. Both roommates are demanding that I drive them around for free until they get their licenses back, or else they won't have the funds to pay their rent. FML
Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. FML
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML
Tonday, I spent the night in my car because I didn’t want to go home as I just gave my roommate a 30-day eviction notice. My girlfriend is spending the night at a friend's, and I’m too cheap to get a hotel room. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, my roommate expected me to help them buy them car, or loan them some money. FML

Shouldn't you have made him pay for the car?

I expect you're going to be moving out shortly because it doesn't appear you're able to man up and address the issues as they arise. He was in the wrong and you're paying the repairs? he's left you cash short, and you're going to leave the house?

This sounds like it could be a court case Judge Judy would need to solve. *Insert Judge Judy Theme*

Judge Judy would say rent is rent, even if he crashed your car, you have an agreement to pay rent, and the car situation is a separate situation. If you agreed to pay for the car instead of rent, then yeah, but you still have a contract/agreement to pay rent, with or without crashing cars. Hard to accept how that's considered fair, but that's how she would handle it.

Sounds like you need a new roommate anyway.

I'd personally kick his/her ass out and find a new roommate. I have no respect for people who drive while under the influence. Call me an asshole if you want but I've lost some of the closest people in my life to a drunk driver.

Sounds like you'd be better off without him. If he stole your keys, crashed your car, and didn't offer to pay for it after he sobered up, then he has no business being in your life.

Surely your roommate should pay to repair the car
