I always see stories of why people hate their roommate. Most of the time, these roommates seem far from being friends. My roommate and I have become very close since living together, but we both have our faults. Instead of writing about the things she does wrong, I’ll share just a few of the things I do that make me a bad roommate.
1. I fart…constantly
2. I ate her leftover dessert without her approval
3. I always walk around with no pants on
4. I keep the room cold
5. I shed a lot of hair
6. My dry shampoo, hairspray, and perfume stink up the room
7. I fill the room with junk food
8. I’m always in the room, so she never has privacy or alone time
9. I fill up the majority of the room with my belongings
10. I always want to cuddle—she doesn’t
Despite all of my flaws as a roommate, she still loves me and I still love her. Plus, I can’t be too bad because we’re living together next year! Instead of sitting back and complaining about what your roommate does that annoys you, take time to think about the things you do that annoy them.
