Living with another person under the same roof requires compromise. After all, everyone wants their home to be an oasis from the stresses of the outside world. Not to mention all the responsibilities you have to share to keep everything in order, such as bills, chores, and other maintenance tasks that demand mutual understanding and cooperation.

But apparently, that's too much to ask from some people. There's a subreddit called 'Bad Roommates' and it's full of tales about the gross, the annoying, and the psychotic. So we at Bored Panda decided to compile some of the most memorable ones to remind you just how important it is to find someone that you can get along with. Otherwise, you might end up in a situation that seriously tests your patience and sanity.

    It's Sad That It Was Necessary To Write This. There Was A Time I Bought Pie, The Next Day, I Went To Get A Piece (Hadn't Tried Any Yet), And There Was Only One, Small Sliver Left. There's No One Else That Lives Here, He Ate The Whole Thing Himself. 😐 He Did The Same Thing To My Krispy Kreme, Rip
