Share Your Worst Roommate Story!

For anyone that’s ever had a difficult roommate – now’s your chance to cash in! Submit your story and cast your vote for America’s Worst Roommate Story

[ClickPress, Tue Sep 08 2009] Here’s something that just about everyone in the world can relate to – a bad roommate. Whether you’re a college student, a 20-something, or a married suburbanite, at one point in your life you cohabitated with another human being. In most cases your ‘roomie’ started out as, or ended up as, a good friend. In other cases…not so much.

SimpliSafe®, provider of the only secure and complete do-it-yourself wireless home security system, is sponsoring a Share Your Worst Roommate Story contest, inviting folks across the country to share their worst roommate experience. In 500 words or less, people can share their story for the chance to win the weekly prize of an iTunes gift card and/or the grand-prize of the SimpliSafe wireless home security system with one free year of emergency dispatch service and an iPod Nano!

Everyone has a worst roommate story to share. Did she borrow your clothes without asking and return them 4 sizes too small, thinking you’d never notice? Did he eat all your food and hide empty tuna cans in the sofa cushions? Did you have a roommate who forgot where the soap and toothbrush were located? Did they misunderstand when you said, “sure it’s cool, have a few people over” then invited the entire campus – to your dorm room?

Now’s your opportunity to get it all off your chest! Share your story and let the nation vote to decide if yours is truly THE WORST ROOMMATE STORY!
