Three strange ones...#1 was obsessed with the SCA and medieval renaissance type stuff... played with swords in the house a lot (which wasn't too bad... as I am a fencer.) However, one night, in a drunken argument challenged a friend of his to a dual with my epees. Imagine waking up at 2:30 am to two guys in the hallway hacking at eachother while the neighbors are all watching, stunned.
#2 bought one of those 'mini-fridges' for his room one december. Brought it back to his room and filled it with his groceries... that week, he piled up his laundry around it, and forgot about the fridge. A month later, he finally got around to washing his laundry and found the fridge... he opened it, hoping the food was still good, except A. he had never plugged it in, and B. it was right next to the heater in his room... it took two months for the smell to air out of there...
#3 was #2's friend... He never seemed to bathe, and had a list of 14 year old skanky girlfriends (he was 23). As #1 and I were almost never home due to work, school, and other activities, we thought his presence when we were around was purely coincidental. when #2 moved out, (it was a guest room, so he only took his clothes with him, and we never went in there) things were really quiet for about a week, until one night, we both woke up to the sound of a baby screaming in the 'empty' room. Sure enough, #3 was there with a 15 year old girl, and THEIR 4 week old son screaming at the top of his lungs (she had run away from her parents house with the kid, and he had apparently been living in #2's old room, so he invied her to stay). He had never paid a dime of rent, and this was certainly news to us. Furthermore, he refused to leave, insisting that he had taken over the spot on the lease, and had made a deal with the landlord separately for rent. Certainly, as I was dating the landlord's daughter at the time, I would have known about this... the police agreed when they escorted the three of them off.
