Ever shared an apartment or dorm room with some one? Did you enjoy it? Or did you have a roommate from hell? What are your petpeeves when living with other people? Do you do anything about it or do you just grin and bare it? For me, I've had the roommate from hell freshman year, and now I have the roommate-who's-my-friend-but-I-hate-living-with. Just certain pet-peeves have arisen after two years living with her, and now that it's time to search for housing for next year, she's eagerly trying to get me to room with her again, and I'm having second thoughts. I guess my biggest pet-peeve/thing I hate about my roommate (and the other two girls living in the other room in my apartment) is that they are extremely messy. To be more specific, it drives me crazy when people leave things in the sink, especially if it's just eating utensils. How hard is it to put those straight into the dish washer? I just hate this because it's impossible to clean anything when there's a pile up to the top and I can't fill my water filter up when it doesn't fit in the sink. My other petpeeves include: people leaving their shoes in the living room, people leaving their mail in the kitchen for days unopened (throw it out or open it!!!), people leaving huge amounts of hair in the shower after they shower, my roommate sleeping/napping ALL day, roomie not washing hands after bathroom use, roommate's horrible laugh, roommate sneezing w/o covering her nose, roommate readjusting in her chair every 2 minutes, roommate leaving so many art supplies all over the floor that I can't close the blinds without stepping on her stuff. There's a lot more I could think of, but it'll take me ages listing all the little things I hate.
I lol'd at your peeves I've roomed with two people. One= was my best friend, so i thought it'd be awesome. But yeah, after you get the partying an the whole house warming stuff, then it's pretty lame. The longer we roomed together, the more annoying he became. An yes, the biggest pet peeve is the messyness. I personally like to keep my crib looking good, for guests an such, i don't wanna look like trash, an not having a dishwasher is shitty, cause idk how many times i've had to hand wash all his frickin dishes. The second was a complete stranger, i roomed with cause i was on the streets. lol. But it was alot better with him, being that we weren't friends so i cared less what he did, and i didn't hang out with him outside of the appt. But from my exp. Rooming with the stranger was the way too go.
I live in a house with 5 other strangers. Only moved in here 2 months ago, but am definitely enjoying it so far. My housemates are really quite nice && I get along with 'em well. My pet peeves would be that 2 of them makes a HUGE mess in the kitchen when they cook. It's almost as if they go "OMG I MANAGED TO COOK THIS! IMMA USE MY RICE AS CONFETTI AND THROW IT ALL AROUND THE KITCHEN" Other than that I don't have any irritations so far..
Sounds like you pretty much just hate your roommate Cause a lot of those things are tiny tiny things. Only thing that really bothers me about my roommate is that when he wakes up for class earlier than I do, he slams the door when he leaves. Always wakes me up and pisses me off. Other than that.. not too much. He's kinda messy but it never gets in my way.
