19-year-old student returns the favor after being awoken at 4 AM by roommate loudly returning home from parties: 'She woke up, and yelled at me for being loud'

Rooming with other people for the first time in the twilight years of your teens and early twenties is a grab bag of experiences. No one has any idea how to best properly live life yet (not that we ever figure that one—if someone reading this has, please let me know), and everything is constantly changing around them. Decisions are made on the fly, with consequences being an afterthought. You might meet someone one week and hit it off, deciding to room for an entire year the next week—oh, what…

Woman keeps stealing roommate's makeup, roommate swaps foundation with self-tanner: 'She waltzed out of the bathroom with an orange face'

It's important to set boundaries with your roommates from the get-go. Normally, you would think this is something most folks learn in college, but you'd be surprised how many fully grown adults have yet to learn these important lessons. For instance, when you first move in with someone, both parties need to establish which items (food, products, etc.) are communal and which ones should be privately used. This Redditor had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with a roommate who refused…

‘So I'm not allowed to sleep?’: Insomniac college student demands roommates keep quiet during the night, they refuse, leading to a noisy dispute when they keep waking each other up

‘So I'm not allowed to sleep?’: Insomniac college student demands roommates keep quiet during the night, they refuse, leading to a noisy dispute when they keep waking each other up

College presents many challenges to young adults, but nobody talks about the struggles of the first few nights sleeping outside your childhood bedrooms. While we all had sleepovers and trips with friends and school, that is not the same as completely moving out of our home and regularly sleeping in a different bed, and that is not an easy experience for young people. On my first night in my dorm room, the first thing I noticed was how loud the street outside was, mainly because of all the cars…

23-year-old woman gets 20-year-old roommate's car towed for repeatedly and unapologetically taking her spot: 'She [also] hadn't paid to park for that month'

Neighborly parking disputes are no new thing, but they almost constitute “friendly fire” when they take shape between members of the same household. Still, this just speaks volumes to the propensity for people to be petty and selfish, trying to shape the world and those around them into a form that best suits them independent of any moral or even logical reason. At this point, you probably already have someone in mind who fits this description, it's probably even a former roommate, as rooming s…

Entitled roommate forbids all flatmates from using the oven, claiming it ‘uses too much electricity’, they refuse to comply and purposely use it to enrage her: ‘[You] are not the landlord’

Entitled roommate forbids all flatmates from using the oven, claiming it ‘uses too much electricity’, they refuse to comply and purposely use it to enrage her: ‘[You] are not the landlord’

Surely we've all had our fair share of terrible roommates. The kind of people who actually see themselves as the landlords and act like everything they say must be followed. When it comes to horrible roommate experiences, I think I won the gold medal. I once had to share a tiny 4-bedroom apartment with 7 roommates, meaning I had to share a room with two other people. The apartment was constantly messy, there were always dishes in the sink, and no one was willing to commit to any household task…

Roommate leaves window open while it's snowing outside sparking disagreement over heating costs: 'We've had the heat on high this whole time'

Living as an adult with other adults is difficult, especially since there will inevitably be shared costs for the household, and people have different ways of living and different ideas about what is and isn't an appropriate cost. Not to mention, when it comes to things like the temperature of the home and the costs associated with it, people naturally have different ideas about what is “comfortable" or “tolerable.” The risk of people being absolutely clueless on how to properly function on the…

21-year-old college student sabotage's terrible roommate's chances at getting into her sister's sorority: 'She’ll never ever be in that particular chapter'

21-year-old college student sabotages terrible roommate's chances at getting into her sister's sorority: 'She’ll never ever be in that particular chapter'

For those of you who know, rushing sororities and fraternities is a pressure cooker of an experience. It's also not one of those challenging processes in life that brings out the best in people. As someone who never acquiesced and succumbed to the Greek Life experience but observed many peers go through it, I can say with confidence that rushing can feel as high stakes as applying to college. So why would someone willingly put themselves in that situation? Well, socialization and social hierarc…

Gamer doesn't understand why their loud late-night gaming sessions are upsetting their roommate

As a gamer myself, and having lived with other gamers, once that mechanical keyboard gets clacking and the team call-outs start rolling in intense moments, it's going to be noisy for everyone else around you. With absolute certainty, when you're intently focused on something, you underestimate the amount of noise you're making. In the early hours of the morning, these sounds are amplified by the relative quiet of the world around us. And when you add paper-thin walls to the equation, you're goi…

‘Sorry this is an inconvenience for you’: Entitled resident refuses to remove bike from narrow communal hallway, neighbor forces her hand by turning to property manager

Some people truly believe that the world revolves around them. They think no rules apply to them, and that everyone else should do everything just to make sure they are happy. Surely we can all agree that these types of people are some of the worst, and watching them get what they deserve is wholeheartedly satisfying. When this entitled neighbor got what she deserved, I had to physically stop myself from cheering out loud, which I am sure would have made the original poster (OP) pretty happy wi…

This story brings a whole new meaning to “eat your vegetables!” Here, we have a young woman who had the unique experience of rooming with not just one stranger but two: a mother and her kid. The good news is that the two parties generally stay out of one another's way and are respectful of their physical boundaries. The bad news is that all this started to change when the Redditor began to notice her leftovers were always missing. Now, the original poster (OP) makes a point to address her sympa…
