Ever have those comments you wish you could say to your roommate, but you worry it may be too harsh to say out loud? We all have had the experience of living with a sloppy roommate, a roommate who is attached at the hip to her boyfriend, or the roommate who only seems to know how to eat things from the fridge and not replace them with new food. For all those things you wish you could say, we sympathize with you. We love our roommates, but there are just those little things that tick us off.
We had an open call to a “Roommate Comment Box,” and got quite a few responses! I highly suggest you all read what was sent in; who knows, maybe it is directed towards you or maybe your roommate will read it and get the hint.
“Remember that time we could see the bottom of the sink? It was a great time! Let’s clean our dishes so we can see it again.”
“I’m guessing you don’t like to vacuum since I have never seen you use it.”
“Do you think you could buy more pasta sauce and milk since we both use it and I have gotten it for the past month (aka last 7 months).”
“Oh! I didn’t realize the common room was also an extension of your closet.”
“I’m sorry, but did Samara from The Ring take a shower this morning and decide to use my brush?”
“Did you and your closet get in a fight this morning? Oh sorry, just wondering why there are clothes all over the floor.”
“Nothing like coming back from class with a craving for your favorite snack only to find out there are only crumbs left yet your roommate felt the need to put the box back on the snack shelf.”
“I realize it’s a lot to ask, but changing the toilet paper roll takes 5 seconds.”
“Does this look like a Disney movie? Didn’t think so…that means no dwarves (Snow White), dancing household appliances (Beauty and the Beast) or mice (Cinderella) will be coming out any time soon to clean up this mess you made.”
“Last time I checked you had two feet! That means there is no need for NINE pairs of shoes to be strewn all over the room.”
“Still waiting for the day when the trash and recyclables grow legs and take themselves out. Until then, I guess I will be always doing it.”
“Toothpaste isn’t paint and the sink isn’t your canvas.”
“So should we start splitting the rent between 5 of us instead of 4 of us since your boyfriend basically lives here?”
“DID YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT?”
We all have roommates and we all are roommates to someone else. Let’s be considerate and make sure we are doing our part in our room.
