Sharing a home with someone can be a great way to save money on rent and utilities, but it can also push you to the very edge of your limits.
The subreddit 'Choosing Beggars', a place where people shame those who are being way too picky when asking for things, has plenty of types of recurring characters. There's the shameless parent who uses their child's birthday as leverage for negotiation, the art "critic" who lowballs every piece they get their eyes on, and many, many more.
But among these infamous personas, roommates are arguably one of the most frustrating. Whether it's disagreements over household chores, personal space, or guest policies, they have the ability to quickly become a painful source of stress.

Roomates Response To Me Asking About The Electricity Bill She Hasn't Paid In Months (That's In My Name, Leaving Me With The Debt)
Chances are that if we do not become kinder to one another, there will be many more similar screenshots. American adults are increasingly sharing a home with other adults with whom they are not romantically involved.
This arrangement, known as “doubling up” or shared living, gained notice in the wake of the Great Recession, and the prevalence of shared living has continued to grow since.

Looking For A Roommate: I'm Quite Easy-Going
Tldr; basically this person is a controlling d**k who thinks they’re better than everyone else
But they "are quite easy-going"!?
Load More Replies...
So... basically wants a phantom housemate that doesn't actually live there but pays the rent.
I can see what may have led to this, but this person seems like an absolute nightmare.
I feel like Sheldon is more easy going than this person is. lol

I once paid $800/mo to share a living room in a 1 bedroom flat in Santa Monica by the airport. I mean there was another dude renting the living room floor with me, in addition to the leaseholder who had the bedroom. She kept the water heater on "vacation mode" because "too much electricity!" I was young and dumb. When I discovered that you can just live in a van and still go to work everyday, everything changed.
Live in a van, work, save, invest, live free later. Smart

Ooh. Perfect for ghosts who give him rent money but don’t actually exist.
Maybe the person will get lucky and find a Trappist monk who is looking to share
No. More like someone who was not exposed to many different humans much

I'd understand the bit about making noise when others are sleeping, but the rest?
I understand the point about cleaning. And quiet time between 2300 and 0700 would be reasonable to me. The rest is wow. Just. Wow.

The first parts felt ok-ish. I have moved in with a friend when we were in the last year at uni because we really needed a QUIET place. Nowadays, working people have to share and it's ok to negotiate: This is a quiet place to relax and recharge for people who are not very social or simply drained from their work. But, come on, bowl movement??? Seriously??
I wish all terrible people gave a little list like beforehand so you could easily avoid them
This seems like someone who needs therapy not a flatmate. I can’t imagine being so entitled to think that it is ok to trying and dictate someone else’s actions this much. The whole thing is so contradictory as well. Like you have to be eating sophisticated meals but don’t be in the kitchen for too long and you can’t be hanging around the house but this is a home and you aren’t allowed to be a stranger you must socialise ?!
I don't really know what this potential flatmate is supposed to do (when they're actually 'allowed' to be at home) with restrictions on cooking, baking, bodily functions, a love life, tv streaming, drinking, seeing friends, talking on the phone and laughing! What the f**k does that leave to do!!?
Idk, but whatever it is, it had better not generate noise of any kind and should be done between 5:30 and 8:30 pm lol

I am scared for their partner and terrified to think about their child (if they have or wish to have).
So she wants a cat... a cat that is gone to a job all day long AND doesn't prefer to hang out there in the evenings.... a non-social very busy quiet cat.
A cat poops more than once a day, and isn't capable of scooping its own litter.

Must be out [f the house 9-5 M-F so they can work their part-time job? Idk why this stuck out to me among all that craziness but it did
As a character in a movie once said " This person is completely Looney Tunes!".
Jeez I'd hate to see the opposite of easy going! This whole book is a slop shop!
It took me forever to read all the way thru had to sit it down a few times dinner and such but seriously how can someone expect people to PAY rent then say just cause I hang out here doesnt mean its Ok for you to thang out in the flat. WTF is that if they are paying rent you cant even say stupid s**t like that.
I actually had a roommate like that and after 18 months, I had a whopping case of PTSD from living with someone this controlling, but who refused to tell anyone her rules until they were broken. Nothing was ever good enough. Even the setting on the thermostat was a struggle; I stood my ground and demanded the heat be up at a minimum of 68° during the day and 65° at night whereas she wanted it left at 58°F. Yeah, I really mean fifty-eight degrees. 🥶🧊 Never again! Life is too short.
Ugh.. Ive met human trash like that. The worst part is their pride in being a terrible person.
I love that you have to be out of the house first thing but aren't allowed to make yourself breakfast before getting completely ready for work. Also if you like cooking f*ck you I guess
What a total shite head. I skipped most of it because it didn't deserve my time. Oh my God I hope she lives alone forever
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Do NOT let this person reproduce. For the hypothetical children and humanity in general.
I didn't even read this because it was so long, I just read the headings. "On bowel movements"? 💀💀 This is really a lot.
Wow! So funny. This has to be fake. Who cld take this person seriously?
Wow! Wonder is his controlling behavior is due to previously crappy roommates or he is just an as**ole. I don't know about London, but in US once they're on the lease good luck enforcing YOUR roommate rules. You're 'quite easy going'? I don't think you really know what that means.
Tldr; I'm never going to have a roommate because of my ridiculous narcissistic rules and expectations.
So, they don't want a new flatmate, is what they're saying. They want money.
Call me crazy... But I swear this guy's trying to act like Sheldon, hoping to God he's gonna find his Leonard, Raj, Howard, Bernadette, Penny, and Amy Farrah Fowler.
"This is a home, not a hotel"... With all these crazy rules, you sure it's not an Airbnb?? "I don't want my new flatmate to assume that just because I spend so much time here, it's okay for them to do the same." Why is it okay for YOU, but not anyone else?? Look, IDGAF whose name is on the lease. If I pay RENT, and especially if I also share the bills, it's MY flat, too. My HOME. And I'm going to LIVE in it. I'll stay in it when I want to, as long as I want to. I'll shít as long as I need to, as many times as I need to. I'll watch as much TV as I want. I'll cook whenever the hell I'm hungry. And guess what? I work night shift, so some of that will happen at night. I would always be considerate of any other people I was living with. But there's a HUGE difference in asking/expecting someone to be considerate, and expecting/DEMANDING that they revolve their entire life around YOU, and YOUR preferences. This lunatic doesn't want a flatmate. He wants a doormat, that pays rent. Fúck. THAT.
So, let me sum up. You are allowed to show up and sleep, otherwise it's not your space. Hope the rent reflects the fact you won't have access to the place during work hours, limited access to the kitchen and bathroom, and can't fart too loud lest you draw attention to the fact you exist.
They sound suuuuuuuper fun!!! Not at all soul crushing, suffocating and deluded. 😳
They sound suuuuuuper fun!! Not at all soul crushing and suffocating.
If you aren't allowed to be there from 9-5, do you get a discount? Doubtful.
Why does this fool even want a roommate? He should move back to his mom's basement asap.
Holy crapballs... this is one. Of those "doni have permission to breathe" situations
Hope he likes living alone, cuz NOBODY is going to agree to any of that c**p 😕. Sounds like he doesn't really know what being an adult means. Making rules for a child but saying we're all adults? WTF? Total control freak 😜
My biggest issue is the free time. "Don't spend a lot of time here" why the f*ck else would I pay rent here if not to spend time here when I don't have plans elsewhere? I could just pay for a cheap hotel if thats what I'm getting. Plus, most TVs now have Bluetooth and Bluetooth headphones are cheap. I have a good pair of US$150 headphones that are Bluetooth and noise cancelling (I used to live in a really loud house, and worked nights, so... yeah). That said, I used to work nights, and I made about $75k a year doing so. I'd happily pay the lions share of rent if it meant *i* got to be this picky towards this new roommate.
Really seems like that person just needs to find a place they can afford on their own.
This is why this person will probably be living on his own. I wish a m**o would can we say controlling, as long as I pay my rent I will do whatever I want to do respectfully. I will use the restroom, I will talk on my phone, I will cook my food and thoroughly clean up behind myself. I will even buy my own refrigerator which would stay fully stocked in my own room, I will have my own dishes, silverware, plates ,bowls, cups, glasses etc all of which will be kept in my room as well. If a person is controlling like this they need to live on their own. Period.
If I'm paying the same as you, I'm in the house when I want to be. If you're cutting me a deal where I'm paying 1/4 what you're paying I could be flexible.
Hey, the person has every right to ask for everything they want without compromise. Doesn't mean they're going to get anybody, but hey. Thems the breaks. Lol it's along the lines of "Freedom of speech doesn't translate to freedom from consequence".
I'm having a hard time believing that this is real. Not because of the insane level of control this person is trying to hold over other adults but because they claim to be in London but they are writing in American English. Unless they're an American citizen studying abroad. Just a few examples: referring to friends and not "mates" throughout the entire thing, spelling "socialize" rather than "socialise", inserting the very American "gonna", failing to realize that porridge is, in fact, cooked in a pot. It reads as if the person is trying to sound British but missing the mark, repeatedly.
Most of it was hypocritical. If my choice was this or a monastery, I'd choose the monastery.
The only thing in this list of crazy is the section about cleaning, I might save this, cut that section out, blow it up and make a big poster for the shared kitchen at work
WOW, if this is quite easy going, I'd hate to see them full on WITCH (with a capitol B)
Ok but I can attest to the noise thing. I rent a room in a shared house. I have 2 jobs, and when I work both I'm out from 730am to 11pm, and I need to sleep by like 1am... freaking people are running the dryer, making noise in the kitchen. All sorts of nonsense right when i need to be going to sleep. I hate it so much and yes I'm definitely looking into renting a new room as soon as I pay down some more credit card debt.
So no cooking before 8:30, have to be out by 9 am. So no breakfasts allowed then?
I mean definitely not easy going BUT at least they put it all out there no questions who they are looking for. You know there’s some other stick in the mud who read this and went “this is the place for me” to each his own and no lies were told 🤷🏻♀️
It's great that they're very clear about these things, and nothing they mention is that unreasonable. But then describing themselves as 'easy-going' at the end is what is hilarious.
If you are someone who is considerate enough to be able to fit in with the requirements, they probably are genuinely easy going. They might have just had a whole bunch of s****y roomates. It is kinda nice to know upfront that the two people who you would be living with are constrained by the same rules.

I don't see this one as "horrible", just maybe poorly worded and long winded. And a LOT of what they said here sounds like it is based on personal experience. Full disclosure - I am possibly a bit biased here due to having had someone living on my property who was many of these things. Long phone calls on speaker phone / voice that carries. Didn't understand why it was a problem to come into a room where you are already doing something like watching a movie and sit down and start watching youtube videos on speaker phone. Tie up bathroom for long periods when others are waiting. Erratic schedule / sleep hours and didn't get how much the noise they were making bothered others. And so on. And another time in my life I had a room mate who either didn't flush and/or would plug the toilet and walk away expecting me to deal with it. We had to have a conversation about that.
F**k yall noisy inconsiderate neanderthals i would LOVE TO LIVE WITH THIS PERSON.
All of the rules in a list makes it seem worse than it is. Individually most of the requirements are really quite fair. I'm seeing all these negative comments, but after finishing the list, it kinda seems like a nice pleasant place to live. You know outright that the two people who you're moving in with are considerate about noise, cleaning, taking too much time in the shared bathroom, and having guests over. It actually sounds pleasant.
Load More Replies... It's sad they have to have all these rules BUT I fully understand.
Honestly, I dont find many of these out of line. Obviously having to be out of the flat 9-5 every weekday and not being able to 'spend time there' and whatnot are pretty ridiculous. But most everything is just them asking for someone to be courteous and respectful. Sure, they were very specific about those things but they obviously have to be based previous situations theyve dealt with. I'd rather live with someone like this than someone who claims to be "respectful' and ends up being anyhting but.
The 9-5 thing isn't overly unreasonable. It means outright that you have a full time job. Probably demonstrates that you are dedicated enough to keep it, and don't intend on losing it anytime soon. Plus it means that you would be able to afford your third of the rent every month.

While the rise in shared living during and immediately after the recession was attributed in large part to a growing number of Millennials moving back in with their parents, the longer-term increase has been partially explained by a different phenomenon: parents moving in with their adult children.
In 2017, for example, nearly 79 million American adults (31.9% of the entire adult population) lived in a shared household. For comparison, in 1995, the earliest year with comparable data, the number stood at just 55 million (28.8%), and in 2004, at the peak of homeownership and before the onset of the home foreclosure crisis, 27.4% of adults shared a household.

The nearly 79 million adults living in a shared household include about 25 million who own or rent the household. An additional 10 million are the spouse or unmarried partner of the head of the household.
Another 40 million, or 16% of all adults, are the “extra adult” in the shared household. This share of living in someone else's household is up from 14% in 1995.

In 2017, just 18% of extra adults lived in a household in which the head was unrelated (typically a housemate or roommate).
Interestingly, living with nonrelatives has become less prevalent since 1995, when 22% of extra adults were doing it.

- People living with their friends, family (32%), and co-workers were the most likely to be happy with their roommates;
- People living with an acquaintance were the least satisfied with their living situation;
- Living with one other roommate who happens to be related to you is the most satisfying roommate situation.

My Junior year in college, I was in on-campus housing with other Sophomores, Juniors, a Senior, and the RA (I think there were 8 of us). The dorm was also gender-mixed, which was totally fine and we got along well. But on to the bad roommate. The girl who shared my room had to switch housing because of a disability, and the guy who came a week later was a 25 yo Freshman. 1st bad sign, he came back that night drunk, which he did quite a few times. 2nd, he was a loud snorer. The 3rd and worst was at our house rules meeting. He comes in late, I think after drinking again, and adamantly refuses to sign a housing agreement that wasn't typed up. But worst of all, even though the rest of us were a higher grade than him, we were also younger than him and he'd refer to us several times as children. I was visibly shaking after that meeting with the prospect of having to share a room with this guy and had to talk to the RA about it, plus visit the college therapist a couple times later on.
My current roommates are my former best friend C, his brother B and his gf G, and my partner T. Me, T and G do 99% of cleaning around the house we rent. B expects to be taken care of to the point where it's affecting his relationship with G. C is somewhat autistic and will only do things like emptying the dishwasher/trash when it's convenient for him. We also get onto C about not helping out enough and he does whatever we asked of him once and stops after that. Could be a lot worse but we're so ready to move out.

Only thing we disagree on her her trashy self centered self obsessed bf. But we have a compromise on that. I keep my mouth shut and she keeps HIS mouth shut. So all in all, no real complaints.
I never had a roommate until my husband and I got serious my Senior year in college. Before that, I'd let people stay there when I did my internships across the country to have someone take care of my fish. Lol. Until my kids, my husband was the worst roomie...
I had a roommate that would blow his nose in the shower and just like. Leave it on the wall. Like idk there were boogers everywhere I don't understand
