I can live with other people as long as I have my own room. I find being by myself is very relaxing and I can think a lot easier. I have to live with people I can trust though.
my old roommate used to have parties right after I was done scrubbing the house. And she'd put dirty dishes in the dish strainer... Total slob
The only roommate I've ever had besides my boyfriend was great. His girlfriend was a bitch from hell, though. She was bisexual and she was "in love" with me, and instead of being jealous, roomie thought it was hot. She also was obsessed with 2 things in life: dogs and herself. Every single conversation with the girl turned into a, "You think that's bad? Well...." kinda thing, and wherever she went, her dogs went, too. Now, we had a puppy of our own back then, so at first the dogs weren't an issue, at least the puppy had other dogs to play with. But the dogs ended up getting fleas and starting this horrible infestation that lasted for two years. And she didn't discipline them at all, so they pissed and shit all over my living room, tore my stuff up, and when she was confronted about it, she said, "Well, they're dogs and if you don't like it, you shouldn't leave things where they can get to them." It was MY HOUSE!!!! Ugh!!!! Then roomie dumped her, she started dating his friend because she's a whore, and then he got jealous and one day he went to "watch movies" at her house, the next day he showed up and announced he was leaving in two months to move with her to college. And that was the end of the roommate situation. Somehow now without his income, we're doing better than we did when he was here...
Hello, as a student I lived in an appartment in a dorm, which I shared with a second person. Everyone had its own room and we shared kitchen and bath room. I lived with women and with men from Europe, from Africa and from Russia. The standards where the lowest while living with women and with a guy from Russia. I saw appartments with an all female crew. Their rooms looked like landfill sites. My sample might be small, but it was really impressive. I guess I would never share a flat with more than two women. Besides the messiness there is a huge potential for drama. Regards Gyro
Well, I used to live with four people, two people in each room. My roommate snored. One night, I was so tired and the minute I start to fall asleep, he starts snoring. I woke him, and asked him to wait a few minutes, until I fall asleep, so that he could sleep too, and not to bother me with the sounds he made. He was barely awake when I told him that, but he answered "yeah, yeah, sure." So I go back to bed, lay down, and after like five seconds or so (not exaggerating anything, for real) he starts snoring again. I had a bad night. He doesn't live with me anymore.
the last place I lived, I lived with my boyfriend and two of our male friends. It was a fun house, there was always someone to hang out with and always people rotating in and out, but I always got stuck cleaning because I lived with three slobs that didn't really care about things like cleanliness. One dude would leave his underwear and socks lying all over the house. That got kind of old. Now I live with one of my best guy friends. We grew up next door to each other; he's like a brother to me. We had some bumps along the way, including a crazy ass drunken food fight once, but I think we've pretty much ironed out all the kinks now.
I used to live in a trailer with 3 meth addicts/crackheads; two of which would regularly smoke meth and crack with their 16 year-old son, who also lived with us. They would also allow their 12 year-old daughter to smoke weed, eat pills, snort cocaine, drink alcohol, etc. These people were always using eachother to make money to get their next fix, while I had to steal stuff and use stolen credit cards just so we could pay our rent. Stress? Shit, you don't know the meaning of stressful roommates until you live with some people like that. lol
I shared a place with my sister when we were both done university. It was a disaster. I would never live with her again. We are total opposites and it was a test, the conclusion was it is best to stay sisters and not live in one residence.
I truly enjoy my space and having plenty of time to myself. Ive had roommates once and it was living hell, they didnt respect anything. They were complete slobs and they actually ended up stealing from me. That was when i was 18 and i will never have roommates again. Ive had a couple GFs live with me since then and its been fine, but never roommates.
I live in a studio apartment all by myself. I love my apartment it has a great view and there's lots of benefits to living here. But I get lonely and my social skills may have dwindled a bit.
