Two Bad Roommates

The first roommate I had, moved out about two months after we all (4 of us girls all together) moved in, she was my roommate, two girls to each of the two rooms.
Anyways, this girl was crazy psycho. First, just even on the move in day you could tell that she was conceited and didn't have any respect for anyone. She would practically scream at her parents, calling them idiots, etc. One time when she went to get more of her stuff from her car to bring in, her mother told my mother and I not to worry because her bark was worst then her bite.
After we all moved in this girl went out practically ever night and drank herself into a drunk stuper, she would constantly forget her key and then be banging on our door at 3am trying to get in. She stored bottles of vodka in her closet and would mix vodka and orange juice and carry it in a bottle with her wherever she went. One time her sister came to visit and she was having her write some papers for her classes. She would eat some of our food and then freak out on us if she thought that we ate anything of hers, for example one time me and my other roommate were sitting at the kitchen table talking, she comes down the stairs opens the refrigerator and starts screaming that we ate her cream cheese. We told her we didn't eat nothing of hers, but she wouldn't believe us. She finally found the cream cheese but instead of apologizing she accused us of eating some other kind of cheese that she had.
Now yeah this is some normal crazy sh*t but the big topper to everything came one day when I was in our room getting ready for class, she was already at class so I was there alone. I had plugged in my hairdryer next to this wire storage stand that her jeans sat on because it was the only free plug in the room, well anyways I accidentally knocked into the stand and it started to fall down, I was able to stop most of it from falling, I put it back up, put the jeans back on it and it was fine, it wasn't broken or anything, it was made out of wire for gods sake.
She comes home and I tell her what happened, just in case she noticed it looked moved or something I didn't want her to think that I was doing something to her stuff. So I tell her and she gives me this horrible look like she wants to kill me or something. She storms down the stairs throws some dishes in the sink and I hear her yell "stupid bitch".
I couldn't believe that she was acting like that over such a little thing. Well I go home that weekend and when I come back I walk into the room and there are post-its all over her stuff that says "don't touch". I couldn't believe that she was acting like that. Then a few weeks later I was downstairs watching TV when I heard her play loud music which didn't bother me, but I go up to our room later and see that she's using my stereo when she didn't even ask me.
After about two months of living with her she moved into the townhouse nextdoor where there were a bunch of her friends living, which they were pretty much like her. Oh but before she moved out she also accused me of using her shampoo, for one thing I always had my own shampoo and for another it was like a coconut/peach shampoo, which I hate that scent. I tried to tell her but she didn't believe me.
The next year I got to pick where I lived in a housing lottery so I chose my RA from the previous year because she had helped me deal with the first horrible roommate I had and it would just be me and her so I thought the chances were better of us being compatible.
Boy, was I wrong. In my second year I had brought my car, the one I had worked all summer long to save up for. When I moved in I told her that she could use my car (okay my bad) but later on I realized I just wasn't comfortable with someone else driving my car. So I told her I would give rides sometimes. Well she must've been pissed at me, because she would ask me for rides all the time, once she even woke me up to take her across the street to the school, when I wasn't even getting up yet. And then if I said no she would act that I was denying her something that was rightfully hers.
She would clean the apartment for her RA meetings but otherwise would leave the place a mess. I got frustrated and decided to leave the mess and let her see how I felt, but she would sit me down with a list of stuff she didn't like that I was doing and one was that I never cleaned the house. Umm okay bitch. She would never empty the garbage, and she would ask to borrow something like say my tissues, or lotion, or laundry detergent or whatever and it would stay on her side of the room until it was gone. She never offered to replace it but she got mad at me because one time we were actually washing dishes together and I accidentally dropped a 20 cent bowl she got from Wal-Mart and broke it, I apologized profusely and she told me it was no big deal, but then a few weeks later when she sat me down with one of her lists she told me she was mad because I had broke her bowl and not offered to pay for it or get her another one, after she would use my stuff and not replace it, she got so mad over a 20 cent bowl.
Then one time she called me into our room and she started asking me about this paper that I had in my backpack which was zipped up on my bed, so she had obviously went into my backpack. All this stuff was pretty annoying but worst thing was her lack of respect for me. She liked to stay up most of the night typing on her computer which was like 2 feet from my head. I didn't want to start problems so I just asked her if for the 2 nights of the week when I had class early the next day, could she get off the computer by 12am. I thought this was fair, it was only 2 nights a week and was because I had class early and I needed my sleep, I told her it was just 2 nights and she was like "yeah it's just 2 nights" basically saying that I had to deal with it, she also told me that since she was the RA, she wouldn't be leaving if we decided not to be roommates and that I would have to leave. Living with her was one of my worst experiences, especially when she told me I could use her computer and then when she sat me down with one of her "lists" she asked me why I go to this site and this site and this site.
Why can't people just be considerate? All I ever asked from my roommates was to be able to sleep at night and none of them wanted to let me.
