- At some point in our lives, it's likely we will live with other adults in a roommate type situation. This is actually a really good thing, as roommates help you grow as a person and living with others reveals a lot about ourselves. However, things can also get frustrating at times as everyone comes in with different expectations. The very best advice is to not take things personally, and have frequent and open communication. After that, here are 25 Rules To Follow When Living With Roommates.
25 Rules To Follow When Living With Roommates | List25
Talk about who takes showers when, and be considerate with the hot water.
The sounds of, ahem, adult intimacy, are only enjoyable for those directly involved.
Don't borrow things without asking. Ever.
Refill the toilet paper roll when it's out.
Don't gossip or talk trash about your roommate.
Do not expect your roommates to either join you, or vanish, when you have friends over.
Don't get your feelings hurt if your roommate doesn't want to be your BFF.
Take turns taking out the trash.
Everyone takes care of their own pets.
Send a postcard (or bring home a small present!) when you go on vacation.
Observe quiet hours.
If you have a filtering water pitcher, such as a Britta, REFILL IT WHEN YOU POUR YOURSELF A GLASS.
Figure out what to do if someone forgets their keys and gets locked out.
Consider drafting a roommate agreement that all parties sign the day you move in, that clearly states some the "rules" everyone one agrees on.
Does cooking mean you do the dishes yourself, or if you cook and your roommate partakes does that mean they automatically must do the dishes?
What are the consequences of not doing your chores, aside from living in a dirty house and putting more work onto your roommates?
Don't smoke in the house.
Feel free to splurge on a maid service if you're both in agreement on it, and include it with your monthly bills.
Agree to thermostat temps, put it in writing, and if you must, tape it to the wall beside the thermostat.
Your significant other spending the night now and then is one thing.
A dead plant is not a decorative plant and should be removed post haste.
If you live in a dorm, you and your roommate both need to study.
When it comes to decorating a communal space such as the living room or kitchen, remember those spaces are SHARED and should reflect everyone living in the house, not just one person.
Discuss if there's communal food and what the rules are.
Set expectations!

Roomates are either your best friends or you hate them there is no in between
Tristan@List25 The Video Guy Had 3 flatmates, and 3 more currently this year. 2 of the first I got on well with and the other didn't like me much. 2nd lot this year, so far *fingers crossed* its all gone well ^-^
Hate 1, iffy on 1, like the third. (I live with three other girls)
+Tristan - You said "was" as in past tense?
Eh, I had roommates that were neutral. They didn't do anything crazy (one was even gone 90% of the time) and I wasn't best friends with them. It was the suitemates in college that drove me crazy lol.
Ehh on 1, pissed at the other
I married my first roommate and she's still driving me nuts 28 years later
edvaira6891 good for you bro 👍
Does she split the bills or is it pro-rated like my 32-year roommate. But I'm thinking of advertising for a new one because she won't match the socks & just throws them in the drawer loose when she does the wash, which we split as a chore.
in a good way, right?
edvaira6891 If she doesn’t drive you crazier than anyone else, is she really your wife? 😁
my roommate is a girl and im a boy oh God I might be a sImp
Be careful moving into in with your best friend. Sometimes things can turn real sour real fast. 🤮
HighGrade TK explain?
There can end up being tension and disagreements and things you did not know about them that would make you hate them and even the other way around
😳😯
Nahh when I go to college I will have my two cousins as my roommates since we all will go to the same country together and live together so no problem for me since I know them well 😌
Also I love them even if they have a b***y personality - v -
@@Mistyfog.exe.1 ya probably have the same living standards and life styles. A clean well organized friend should not live with a PIG!!
Actually, there's only ONE RULE:
BE CONSIDERATE!
Ah no..... Watch the video again. Your considerate is someone else's rude. Maybe watch this three more times .. I got a feeling you don't hear well
👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯
100% Fact 🙂🙂
Too vague!
it will be YOU being asked to bend over backwards for someone who only knows how to take take take.
people don't understand "considerate".
What kind of clingy-ass roommate needs gifts when you come home? If we're not dating, don't expect that kind of interaction...
Bruhh lmao
Then it's a good thing I'm straight and my roommates are guys.
@@gommodore6441 _But are your roomates straight?_
@@HavikRPG nice try but yes. Or at least... I think they are lol
@@gommodore6441 lol You never know...
My roommate was the worst. Never did the dishes, never replaced any food, always left his clothes around, always had 2-3 people over, girlfriend was basically living here(like 5 days a week), never willing to listen to any valid criticism but when he had any problem, the world had to be put on hold to hear his rant, and worst of all? Always late on rent and ALWAYS trying to cut it lower.
Needless to say one of us had to go.
I FEEL YOU BROTHER , BEEN THERE
what is up with people that 100% fail to take responsibility yet want their needs tended to 100%? How do they make it in the world? Do people just pay their way so they stop?
@@andrejka_talking_out_loud Fast forward years later the dude was trying to change. He had a kid, tried to get his shit together, and became far more positive and responsible, got a job, was about to go back to school, etc. He got shot and killed by some dude that wanted money from him. Not someone he knew, not someone he owed money too, just some lowlife who's now doing 40 years.
@@telletubbie13 omg
except the money reason ... living alone is the best choice !!
The only other thing, i would consider is that if I feel like there are ghosts in tbe house feel scared alone. Or if I don't have a roommate to tag team an intruder. But these are just my thoughts cuz i overthink alot
Sounds lonely.
@@GO-cz7cl There is so much compromise for living with people. Beside, I have my best time when I'm alone and doing things my way without judgement from others.
@@GO-cz7cl being lonely doesn't always mean the person will be sad
Yes yes yes I want to die because I live with roommate
I have a tip, if you don't want roommates driving your car, get a manual.
Does not work in Germany where manual still is the average car
How does having instructions help?
Yeah in Sweden most cars are Manuels lol
Or just dont give them the keys lol
Madison Barker I was gonna say just say no lmaoo
I had a roommate that I had to teach everything to since her mother had always done everything for her, including making her bed. She had terrible friends who let her drink underage (if she gave them the money for the alcohol) and then left her passed out drunk and stole her cigarettes. She was also a prodigy and learned how to play the piano in a week. She'd play the same song over and over and over and...Eventually I bought her a pair of nice headphones to plug into her keyboard and we were both happier.
Another roommate was literally hauled away in a straight jacket. She'd stopped taking her medication cause she'd felt better and was hallucinating and screaming. We didn't even know about the meds or her mental health issues.
My least annoying roommate used to come home drunk every Friday and Saturday about 2 or 3 am to change clothes while laughing hysterically. I'd slam cabinets and doors in retaliation when she was hung over the next day. We never interacted otherwise because everything in the world seemed to piss her off no matter what I tried. She seemed to like me better after I started slamming the doors.
Another roommate was sexually assaulted while camping and I had to talk her into reporting it. I was called out of class more than once to come pick her up after she had panic attacks and had to sit up late with her, telling stories until she felt safe enough to sleep. I had to leave a few months later but kept in touch and flew back for her birthday, apparently the first one anyone ever threw for her at age 20. She named her first child after me. I'm not kidding.
All of these roommates were assigned to me and the only complaint any of them ever made about/to me was that I did the chores before they could get to them (can't stand dirty dishes in the sink) and that I watched too much tv sometimes. Oh, and I take really long showers.
I'm still friends with most of them even though I'd never have chosen them as friends had we met otherwise.
Sounds like a great adventure :)
I believe you might be a really nice person, a bigger better person than me. God bless you.
Thanks so much! Very helpful
1) who showers when
2). No pervert sounds
3) Don’t borrow without asking
4). Refill toilet paper roll
5) don’t gossip or trash talk room mate
6). Privacy. No parties without consent
7). Don’t be hurt if not BFF
8). Take turns taking out trash
9). Cafe for own pets
10). No new pets unless discussed
11). Send postcard when on vacation
12). Observe quiet hours
13). Refill ice trays
14). Spare key.
15). Draft room mate agreement and sign before
16). Cooking...who does dishes if one cooks
17). Consequence of failure to do chores...consequences
18). No smoking in the house
19). Maid?
20). agree to temperatures
21). No boys/ girls. & No giving out keys
22). No dead plants
23) Prayer times
24). Decoration rules
25). Communal foods? Replaced within 24 hrs.
26) Set expectations on cleanliness
use your own toilet paper! My fat roommates go through 3 rolls before I'm done with one.
prayer times makes no sense since religion isn't a door to open and close.
a maid is a stranger in the house - who is accountable if she steals or breaks something?
decoration rules and what is allowed in common spaces is a good one -- need to ask other roommates before putting in furniture or boxes in common areas.
no communal anything.
no pervert sounds - good one. our morbidly-obese 61 year old Filipino roommate played super-loud porn the second night she stayed in the house. When asked about it, she denied it and allowed the others to say it was me.
Not sure what weight has to do with it, thats just ignorant. My one lady is like 100lb and my ex is around 130 and my other ex is over 200lb one thing they all have in common is using multiple toilet paper rolls. That seems to be a common thing with women. Id have a roll of 4 put out each weekend and each weekend there was none left. Idk what women do with all that tp but damn. I can make one roll last a week
I would recommend writing a chore chart and assigning different chores for everyone each day, but there’s always gonna be that one person who doesn’t stick to it
There should not be a "who puts the garbage out" task. It's common sense, if it fills up take it out.
@@lisbonapartments7203 yeah you might think so but common sense is far from common. I thought so too ended up needing a chart and even then it didn't work, I'm finally tired of being patient
There’s always a lame uneducated loser that feels entitled to do nothing
Lmao
@@African.empress yeah, many people don't mind mice and flies and foul odors and roaches. My current landlord asked us to take the trash out every night before bed (an awesome rule), but she never enforces it.
I hate roommates. Never had a good one. For that matter I hate neighbors too. I generally don't like people.
Hallelujah! brother, Hallelujah, lol. I am not religious, but sign me up for that one, lol.
maybe youre a bad roommate
Leave Earth, this world was not made for u
same, but i got a decent roomate. neither in college, both good paying full time jobs, both avid PC gamers and into the best new tech. both like to pred dinners, both like to grind for the thing we want. and im about to get the new Honda Civic Type R!
prep dinners*
I've had roommates before and two words come to mind NEVER AGAIN!!!! 'Nuff said!!!
you forgot one lol....no snooping😠
Swiper, no swiping! ~Mike
list25 thanks for replying bro! Lets me know you care about us (the fans)
I have a horror story. I was living with 3 other roommates, two of them were a couple living together. The routine was like this: one or the other would heavily drink (NOT in their opinion, they were just "relaxing"), then make the loudest noises until late at night. This was the lite version. The heavier routine was like this: they would drink, loudly fight with each other, even hitting each other, insults and smacks flying around. And that was NORMAL for them. The whole time I lived there I did not have a good nights sleep, also because sometimes they would make loud noise early in the morning, I never could guess when it would end OR start. And they would try to convince that I would never find better accommodations than in their house! Yeah, right!!!
never move in with couples and make sure the landlord puts in writing in the lease that no couples will ever move in. I lived with 2 couples (landlord verbally told me no couples allowed, but then allowed them anyway) and that meant huge trouble. When they weren't making each other miserbale, they'd gang up against another roommate.
I have an amazing roommate. All she wants is food, fresh water and a clean litter box. Allie would love Memes.
you would be surprised at how many, people, roommates would be happy with the same accommodations, lol.
So its a pet cat
My roommates dog literally had a “pee explosion” in our kitchen. Without even telling me or cleaning it up, she left the apartment and I walked right into it. WTF is wrong with people?!
OOOOOFFFFF I am feel very sorry for you :'>
Tell them to never leave something like that again tho-
@@Mistyfog.exe.1 I'm sorry what? Never do it again that's it? Your destroyed me that's hilarious 🤣🤣.
Bro said explosion 💀💀💀
I had a roommate borrow car, promising to have it back in an hour. He came back after 6 hours, with an empty tank and scratch marks down the right side. He did not apologize and asked me to add the price of the gas onto his half of the rent! He never owned up to scratching the paint.
The Significant Other rule really hits home - my roommate has been having his significant other over all weekend, every weekend for over a year. It's stressful accommodating someone that basically lives there for free. Don't know when she's coming, don't know when she's leaving, don't get notified beforehand.. yeah I had enough and I'm moving out soon (next Friday).
I'm going through the exact same thing
My roommate was a drug dealer. Once while he was out for the night, a squad of cops and Dogs bust through the door and scared tf outta me. However, I didnt know of my roommates business, and when the cops asked about drugs in the house,I said that there were no drugs in the apartment. They had a search warrant and found about 20 pounds of weed in the place. I was then brought in for more questioning
Moral of the story, Don't sell drugs in an apartment that you share with another person.
Lol. They're not respecting the law or other people.
You're barking at the wrong tree my friend.
@The Deadpool You couldn't smell that?
@@SomebodysWatchnYou It must of been very sealed or he doesn't know what pot smells like, cause that is a hell of a lot of weed, not to smell. I have found pipes and roaches (if that's what they are still called) that where hidden in drawers, because i could smell it from about 20 feet away, so 20lbs, lol.
The Deadpool. 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Typical Deadpool
I had a roommate that had his girlfriend move in, then her mother, then mother's brother, then her (girlfriend's) brother. And none of them was paying anything towards the bills, in fact, no one worked. I was the only one in the house that worked. A total nightmare! I finally got tired after 2 months and moved.
Best roommates I ever had ME MYSELF AND I
Is hot water limit a thing in the USA? In most countries you just use however much you want as long as you pay for it.
depends. if u got a water boiler then the hot water will end
As somebody who has a 'hot water limit'; it's not so much a hard limit as it is that some homes only have so much hot water at a time - then more water (which is naturally/sitting either cold or room-temp) has to be heated by the house's water system, meaning if you use too much of the hot water, there won't be enough for the next person to have a hot shower.
I'm not sure if apartments have this issue though, or if the hot water tank is just bigger for bigger residential buildings. I'm also not sure people who live in-city (connected to the city water system) have this issue either, or if it's a suburban thing.
It depends on the source of the hot water. In some countries there is hot water on demand. For instance, in Brazil most homes have electric shower heads.
In the USA most homes heat tanks of water that is then distributed to the rest of the house.
Даниил Бережнов Hot water heaters are extremely common in the U.S. When the hot water runs out, you have to wait for the water to heat back up, which can take a few hours.
Даниил Бережнов
Lol. No, we don't have a "limit" from a company or anything. We normally have a hot water tank somewhere in the house, and it only holds so much hot water. After it runs out of hot water, you have to wait for the new water in there to heat up.
Some people have these things that instantly heat up the water as it moves through the pipe though, but not most people. We have one though.
I currently share a house with another mature lady and we get along fine. We had a roommate who had a problem with prescription drugs. We don't have that roommate anymore, may she rest in peace. I was the one who found her after she overdosed. It was very sad. We haven't gotten another roommate since it happened.
thank you for list 25. I enjoy it very much
I have the best roommate EVAHHHHH! We've been roomies for over 5 years. These rules are really good. We pretty much follow all of them. It works so well.
lucky
I envy you! 😂
How did you get to that level? Can you explain what you have in place to vet people and navigate through the mths that lead to yrs?
Great video! I'm sharing a house with 5 other roommates who broke many of these rules and one day I snapped at them and yelled at them about how there was no rules. Long story short; they moved out and I have new roommates who are moving in and this is a great guide on how to handle the situation.
I will be living with a roommate in a few months so this is really helpful. Thank You. 😃❤
Hope it goes well!
Jenny Axalco Edits DONT DO IT!!!
hope you have the luck of having good roomates!! hahahahahahahah
well how has it been going? or been
so how are things?^^
My roommate leaves the room in a mess
the roommate is myself
Helpful stuff!
Moving back out on my own again in a few months with a buddy of mine from the gym. These are helpful tips.
I've had both extremes. I've had roomies who have been overly generous to the point of covering rent when things got tough and for whom I've done likewise also. Of course we went on to be lifelong friends. On the other hand I have had roomies with whom I have had fist fights with for reasons such as loud parties at 1 am when I needed to be up for work at 6am
So so glad i live alone
One of my friends used to live with a guy who genuinely had the worst personal hygiene I've ever heard of. He had chronic urinary incontinence, but didn't even have a proper bin to dispose of his adult diapers. Instead, after often wearing the same one for an entire day (and thus, always reeking of piss and having noticeable piss marks on his clothes from overflow), he'd stash them in plastic shopping bags, under his bed. At one point, the other housemates staged an intervention, after one contracted an E.coli infection (contrary to popular belief, urine is NOT sterile once it leaves the body, because it picks up a ton of bacteria on its way out) and they found 19 leaking bags stuffed with used, festering diapers under his bed.
This was around the same time he'd stopped paying rent, after "quitting" his job (who wants to buy food from a guy who reeks of piss from 20 paces away??), so thankfully, they were able to kick him out. When that happened, they also got rid of the sofa where he usually slept (probably because his bed was a giant, stinking biohazard), which no one else had even touched in over a year because it also reeked of piss and was covered in little stains 😫 The only reasons any of them put up with it for so long were awkwardness and one housemate's utter spinelessness.
Ew, the horror stories are terrifying.
Chronically Fabulous damn that's alot to deal with.
Chronically Fabulous
Short explanation please.
some people have always had bad hygiene, that they either don't notice it or don't think there is anything wrong with it, but others are so depressed that they don't take care of themselves.
Woooooooooooooooooowwwwwww!!!!!!🤬💀🤮

I lived in a three bedroom house with 5 other guys, it went so well I have been living alone for 15 years.
Thanks for such helpful hints!
During a job I had down in the Grand Canyon National Park, I had a roommate in the employee dorm I lived in who drank a lot and even brought a friend over to sleep with both being drunk out of their minds. Needless to say, it can be rough when one drinks and the other doesn't. Thankfully my experience in the Navy taught me how to deal with the situation.

My first year in college I got paired with a random person, and we have been BFs since.
On the other hand my second year roommate who I choose to stay with because I knew her, or thought I did, turned out to be rude, inconsiderate, and she ate the gift my parents sent me for a holiday when I wasn't in the room.
My third year, and roommate, started out great. But it changed when I was folding laundry... She said she was going to bed and all I said was "okay, well I have to get this folded tonight so I'm not going to stop." and she got so mad. I don't even know why? She wasn't going to turn off the light. She had already gotten in bed! I'm sorry but I needed to get my laundry put away or it would have sat in the hamper😖😖😖😖
This year my roommate is as crazy as me and we are BFFs. We paired up because our friends are our suite mates, and there is never a dull moment...unless we are all in class. Lol
Ugh, I lived with one particular roommate who was a complete slob and was also super loud. He'd play really loud music until around 3am and would also have parties every single weekend... I lasted a month before I moved out with how I just couldn't put up with it anymore.
I live with my best friend, and we have been living that way forever. So this is so relatable to me
Oh, that's right. A thousand years ago you showed us your new digs in Florida. I suddenly remember that.
thanks for the tips
Great video, guys!
Definitely on the gf/bf staying over one!! I had her staying over pretty often, even though she had her own dorm. Ruined the 3 way agreement pretty bad, even though all she did is sometimes take a shower. But if we ever argued she'd pout on the couch instead of being an adult and talk which took up a big communal area and no one wanted to be around that. Got our own place 3 months later broke up with the psycho gf and kind of regretted how I did the great friend and her bf over.
This is such an amazing list!
Thank you!!
Some of these things should be for married couples as well because things such as #22, my dad never does for my mom.
Ive lost many friends from over exposure living together
Hahaha that and a poor attempt at a pun. XD
I live with someone who smokes and cares nothing about my hatred for it. So much impulsive behavior. I’m too poor to move out and it’s driving me crazy.
I feel mixed about this. On one hand, if it’s cigarette smoke and it genuinely harms you and they for example smoke in the house or don’t go outside or open a window. Then yea. That’s pretty shitty and inconsiderate. However if it’s weed and they just like to smoke and you’re bothered by it for whatever reason, that’s definitely a you problem
my roommates are pretty great. we've known each other for years before moving in together. we all vape and when another person comes in the house we ask if they're okay with us doing it. if not we don't, if they're okay with it we still regulate how much we do.
splendid and fabulously said👍👍👍👍👍 ~mike and Tristan and juan
Number 15 yes! I lived with a morning person who drove me crazy, up and bubbly, playing music at 7am and chatting my ear off. I JUST wanted peace until I had my coffee lol.
Hi, right now I'm in my room it is 12:47 AM and my roommate is banging on some dishes and silverware in the kitchen, some pots too, stacking them in the dishwasher after he cooked some stuff...really banging, no soft touches! Also he wakes up every morning to have breakfast with his daughter that comes over every day at 5 AM before work...a thing that he did not mention when I first moved in...you got it..at 5 AM and that breakfast is not a light one...full cookout...frying stuff, taking out the dishes from the dishwasher and stacking them...TV on in the kitchen...the whole package...not caring that I am sleeping at that time...when I talked to him once at 5 AM and asked him to be more considerate about the noise, because he wakes me up, his response was "I do this every morning man, my daughter comes to eat with me every time, I have to cook and do dishes" and got upset that I told him that he's being loud...like I was the one bothering him...I also can't really confront him about it like I would do with a regular roommate because he is the landlord of the place and basically he owns the house, I pay him cash with no contract...thus the "I have the right to do this" attitude, but he doesn't respect quiet hours...he does the 5 AM cookout till around 6:30-7:00 AM and then goes back to bed like nothing happened ...and this will go on and on...next day he'll be at it again...WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME? It would be hard to move too, because I live close to my work place...but it seems like that would be the only option to get some decent sleep!
I'm going to try using this as a backbone for talking to my housemates during a meeting. Once I get them to say yes to talking to me!
good list. I've had some nightmarish roommates
You guys are great!
You are, Kelly

GOODNESS TRISTAN IS SO CUTE! Like look at that Tardis shirt, could you get any awesomer than that? And the kitty memes, how very kawaii!!
my worst nightmare, was the part where, after the school year was over, I was stuck cleaning after 2 people and myself, because the pther guys just "ran away".
we are so lucky to live like a place where we don't usually have to share our home with others:)
"His name is memes...pretty dank" dude I laughed because it wasn't funny therefore it was funny
I wish some of my old roommates saw this before moving in with other people.
HAHAHAH “major eye sore “ bro u just earned a sub and like for that !!!
My roomate stabbed himself at 1030 pm on a sunday evening. As my room is next to his, I was the one that had to deal with it (he was heavily intoxicated). I never got a thanks for it, which for me was the worst part
that t shirt....love it Tristan!
I really like this video guys as I often live with room mates
I share an apartment with 2 other roommates and I don't like that they take my food without my permission and don't clean after there dogs. What should I do to get this resolved as soon as possible?
the kitty steals the show!
good list
I can't wait to leave school! Me and my friends (4 of us in total) have found a house and are moving in as roommates.
In 7th grade, my school went on a class trip to Williamsburg. The trip was fine, but my roommates weren't. We have this weird request system and for some reason, it failed completely and placed me in the room of the three most annoying people in my grade (no one that I chose). They spent the entire four days playing poker for oreos and drinking root beer. So I shut myself into the bathroom in the lobby for hours at a time.
Great vid guys
Thank you! - Juan
I have a roommate who is 30 yrs older than me and I've known him for 2 years. I mostly do the cleaning (kitchen, bathroom, dishes and the trash) and most times buying the remaining groceries for him if he forgot them. Most of the time he'll cook for the both of us but oftentimes he forgets to wash the pans after he is done cooking and I would wash it. He's more of a "I'll get to it later" person whereas me I'm the "get up and do it and get it out the way" person. But most of the time we get along pretty well. We both have our own rooms we live in a two bedroom apartment.
One of my current roommates is a nightmare.
Literally will sleep majority of the day, use up most of the things such as toilet paper, milk (especially milk and will drink it lips on the bottle) bread, etc and not replace it at all. She also brings her bike in the living after countless times being told that it's unwanted. Has two of the world's most annoying Yappy little dogs. Constantly pace back and forth to smoke out front of the house (it's a shotgun home so she has to cross my room to do so). And to top things off, does not pay any bills. The "nicest" thing I can say about this person is she did take me in off the streets and cleans up very well, however this living arrangement goes down in the books for me as my worse experience ever living with someone.
Love the kitty!
Yes! Our kitchen is a disgusting mess! If I clean once somehow it becomes my duty!! I live in a dorm and we have a shared living room and Kitchen.. asked everyone to help clean but no one wants to do it!!
Tristan, I love your shirt!
it's a really useful list because most people need to live with roommates at times
not to mention people are oblivious to the possibilities.,
8:57 s black cat crossing my path is my Fall nightmare. 😆 kidding , cute cat.
Since there is only one bathroom in our apartment, I keep the bathroom door unlocked when I’m taking a shower out of courtesy in case my roommate urgently needs to go to the bathroom. However, most mornings when I’m in the shower, he stroll in and does his #2 while I’m in the shower, I certainly don’t appreciate the foul air foul as it suddenly penetrates the shower. All I can say is “what died in here? “I have warned him that I’ll start locking the door if he doesn’t stop doing that! For some reason, I don’t think I would have this problem if my roommate was a girl versus a guy
I once rented a room at a guy's house. There were 3 people living there (him, me, and another girl who rented a room with a private bathroom). I shared the bathroom with the landlord only... but there were always about 8 towels hanging there, and I had nowhere to hang mine! No idea why he needed so many towels at the same time!
Some of mine:
1. Don't proposition their partner.
2. Talk things out before calling police.
3. Respect their health if they don't drink or smoke.
4. No unplanned parties.
5. Keep noise down to a low roar
6. Respect their property.
6a. If you break their stuff, replace or pay for it.
7 pay your rent on time.
Omg I love your cat so cute!
I think we all want more memes the cat in the videos from now on
Yeah, put Memes in all your videos. I love him!
I live in a shared student house with my best friend and two other friends. We had a rota, for cleaning the kitchen, which two of them shirked completely, meaning that when it was my day to clean or my best friends day to clean, there would be Everest of dishes, which we knew weren't ours because was wash our own thins anyway Eventually we decided to not clean it and see how long it would take for them to do it...
Two weeks. And that's only because we spoke to our landlord about the entire thing.
I have had roommates that created a pile of dishes and ignored it for weeks.. with the culprits just adding to the pile....?
This was a pretty good vid, guys! Admittedly, the cleanliness issue and the replacement and advisory of finished things (eg I had the last juice) are the only issues for me, but the roommates are only here for a month so I'm not sure how to deal with it. I confronted them about it and how it affects me... Eg I don't eat eggs and so when they make eggs and everything smells fresh in the kitchen because they don't wash the dishes and pots etc properly, that makes me nauseous 🤢. Then, I said it was OK to use whatever they see except my vegetables, but now I need some garlic to make some tea for some pain I have...they used it out days ago but haven't replaced it. 😕
So, in my dorms, we don't have to share rooms. It's just bathrooms and the kitchen that we share (bathroom with one other person and kitchen with everyone else-sixteen in total). This year, I just share the kitchen, but last year was horrible. I had a bathroom mate that would throw up in the SHOWER and not clean it up. She would literally just leave it there for a few days. She and the other girl next to me got kicked out for bringing people in the middle of the night to party and steal everyone's food. This year I'm keeping all of my food in my room, but thankfully so far the people who are here are pretty nice.
What bugs me is that mine has conditions that are beyond fair and lives beyond those and I don't feel like I should have to say certain things to an adult.
First trip out of my province (I'm in Canada) with school and I had to share a room with two other guys, the hotel we were staying at only had two beds so I had to share, it got kinda awkward
I just moved into an apartment with horrible roommates. This video was perfect.
What did you END up doing?
And my horrible roommate story is I have 3 people living with me who are all friends they smoke drink and smoke up the eat all my food never clean up after them selfs never ask and always touches my things one of them lives free practically he eats off of the other girls with out asking so when I bring stuff home he thinks it's everyone's when it's not I bring everything in my room that I don't want touched but I'm now out of space they always fight blast music and I have a cat who has been in my room for 4 months because their kitten wants to play all the time and mine just wants to sleep so she won't leave and since I have no room left in my room she sleeps all day because she can't play it breaks my heart i think I need to move out after typing all of this out lol thanks the the help
Omg 😞😩
I love the kitty! Can memes be in more videos?
