Some roommates could so annoying that in your mind, you don't intend renewing your rent when it expires or you just make up your mind that you are never going to live with a roommate again. It really could be that frustrating sometimes.
Here i tried compiling some of those annoying things roommates do.
1. They don't bring food items/stuffs.
Did I just speak your mind? Everyone would agree that some roomies could be so dependent on the other to the extent of not bringing foodstuffs from home. All they will do is just feed on the once your provide. Some of them would even bring but decide to hide them in their bags. When your own(general) finishes, they will be hiding to cook when you are off for lectures and make the room clean before your return. Lol.. I lie?
2. When they borrow they don't payback
I didn't dash you the money. So I don't see any reason why I have to beg you before you pay me back the money you borrow. The most annoying of all is that when you try to ask for your money, some would want to pick fight with you. Agreed?
3. Thieving
Some roommates can steal sha.. They go through your bag, moving your belongings. Either jewelry, body spray, money or other personal stuffs. Since its awkward to accuse your roommate of stealing especially when you have not caught them red handed, it could really cause one a lot of discomfort.
4. Uses your underwear.
I think the most annoying of them all should be a roommate that uses your undies especially without your permission. As my roommate you are not allowed to use my boxers, towel, singlet. Why should you think of it in the first place. You are not even allowed to wear my cloths without my approving of it.
5. Don't participate in chores.
How annoying can a roommate be when you are the only one that always sweeps the room, make the bed, wash the dirty plates and the rest. Most times, they are the onces who make the room unkept and leave you to do the cleaning. If you have this type of roommate, then you are in for a big house cleaning job. Your roommate brings in his/her friend to eat, they leave the room messy for you to clean.
6. They are noisy/keep bad company
Imagine a time when you would like to relax and your roommate storms the house with his/her friends and they start discussing, shouting, disturbing your peace. Imagine the kind of roommates that keep you awake in the night because of their noisy night phone conversations and the rest. such kind of roommate that comes home with bad gangs, people whose presence could put everyone in trouble. They turn your room to alcohol/smoking joint.
7. They don't care about you
In a room where you live with someone, you get sick and there's no one to take care of you. Some roommates would abandon you without bothering on how you survive during that sick period.
The bottom line is that you should be wary of the kind of people you pick as roommates. Conduct a background check before accepting to move in with them.
Have you had or are you having any bitter experience with your roommate? Share it...
