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.

Reminds me of a coworker I once had when I was a janitor. Regularly put trash in my bucket, but one night I put a used pair of gloves in his bucket, instead of walking all the way around the truck. When I wasn't looking, he went out of his way to put them in my bucket, because the moron wasn't about to carry my trash for me. Quitting that miserable job was the best decision I've ever made.

    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.

    A lot of people are blaming the posters for enduring this but what they don't seem to understand is that not everyone shows their true colors right away. On top of that it's not always easy to just kick people out. Contacts for example. You force someone out when you're both under contract.

    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.

    I side with the room mate, I think most people would. If you were a couple it would be different but they aren't. Further more how presumptive and ride to think just because they earn more. If they had a bigger room, fine but that is worked out when you first occupy the property. OP is the arsenal's here. They are the person in the previous post, the one demanding non-diet soda, when their roommate was having to cough up for their food. This is the same with rent.

    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.

    When I had a roomie, I had to stay at his place for a while until his lease was up. Everything was smooth, I had what I had, he had what he had. As soon as we got a place together, it got so bad that I had to put a mini fridge in my room with a lock on my door and I just stayed in my room to block off all the stench from the rest of the apartment he created and to stop him from stealing my food. Just when you thought you knew someone, never again 😅

    The person already knew that hashbrowns were eaten the night before and that the text was to cover them...thats why she said she was saving them to get the other person to worry about getting some more without being caught out or maybe she told the truth and apologised in a text 1 min later but we never know the end results sadly.

    IMO, asking permission (politely notwithstanding) after you've already DONE SOMETHING WRONG isn't polite at all. It's even more rude than just not saying anything. It's basically saying "I don't give a shiz what you are going to say or how you feel about it, because I just went and did it anyway, and I don't even feel guilty or I'd have apologized for doing it instead of LYING to you as well as eating food that isn't mine." It's like somebody stealing something from a store, and then asking the store "Can I have this for free?" It's incredibly insulting, insensitive, and a complete lie, as the perpetrator already KNOWS they did the wrong action. EDIT: I never downvote the comments that I argue against. I'm not a petulant child. I use my words to express my disagreement and opinion. I don't use downvoting. But sure, go ahead and blame me if that makes you feel better. As an aside, I'm not sure how I'm solely responsible for your comment having more than ONE downvote, but okay.

    I appreciate you helping them out. If they ever trust you enough to let you pick them up, or come inside, it'd be fantastic if you could get the females at least corraled up and spayed. There's usually a humane society program or spay/neuter clinic that will do it for free or extremely cheaply, especially if you tell them it's a catch&release of a feral colony. They'll also often loan you humane traps to use to do so. I always support feeding the unfortunate animals that get abandoned or are born to abandoned pets, but the most good we can ever do on that front it spaying the females.

    I do think it's OK to give money at times, but like my best bud says, don't ever LEND money to friends or family. If they need it, and you have, and you're willing to hand it to them, just GIVE it to them. If they give you money later, then that's great, and if not, you largely avoid the unhappiness that results from lending money and never being paid back, because you gave it without the expectation of it being returned.

    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.

    Yeah, depending on where this is... this isn't that insane. We really do live in a capitalistic nightmare y'all where 1 bedroom apartments in major cities can be upwards of $1,500 and a starting salary isn't enough to pay the bills. There are stories where some employers WILL NOT HIRE YOU unless you have FAMILY/FRIENDS/MONEY to depend on. A room like this would be perfect for a flight attendant while supplementing a starting income of somebody at one of these firms.

    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.

    My first college apt had two bedrooms with three beds each.i think the apt managers would have put two bunk beds in each if they thought they could get away with it. One roommate turned off the heat when they were home alone, one turned it all the way up. A third took over the living room with a boyfriend all day every day and made it super awkward to be in the same space with them. Another made homemade kimchi. I ended up only coming he to eat and sleep after a while.

    Wow, what an âsshat! I'd either ask them to leave or I'd try to have the lease changed to the roommate and his girlfriend. I wouldn't be able to live with someone trying to squash my boundaries or cussing and smack talking me. It doesn't sound like the roommate was respectful of any of OP's boundaries, if he had been OP may have been much more flexible about his new girlfriend moving in and giving up his only parking spot for the complex when considering her safety. These kinds of issues usually occur when one person feels like they're being treated like a doormat by the other.

    With so many adults living together, Apartment Guide conducted a survey of over 1,000 Americans to learn what determines a good and bad match.

    According to the findings, people who had more than one roomie were less satisfied with their living situations than those with just one. Also:

    • 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.

    Wow. It's certainly nice when someone shares their streaming service with you but if something happens and they can no longer keep the service that they've so kindly been providing you with. Wouldn't it be a generous gesture to to get your own streaming service and provide it to them for a while in return for their kindness? That is unless OP's roommates only stopped providing the service to her but kept it for themselves due to some issues that they feel was a deserved outcome to OP. Then getting another room may be the best option for everyone.

    41% percent of people identified keeping shared spaces clean as the top source of tension between roommates.

    The topic of cleanliness was highest among people living with friends (47%), followed by strangers (43%), acquaintances (42%), and family (32%).

    Paying rent (9%), communication (7%), and violating boundaries (7%) were the next biggest issues between roommates.

    I guarantee you this guy does not have NPD. Not all narcissists have the disorder. He most likely has what I called Golden Child Syndrome. They are raised to believe they are superior to most people and those who do not meet their standards are not worthy of their time or respect. I say this as someone who has NPD because they were psychologically abused by a parent with GCS. My sister was my dad’s favorite and she’s just like him.

    Fun fact: The IQ test was originally developed in France, as a test to find learning disabilities in students. It was brought to the U.S., translated to English, and marketed as a test of intelligence. Then, every one failed it. So, it was reconstructed, with activities and situations more familiar to American life. So with this information what you will.

    That is 100% true from experience. I had 2 ex roommates that couldn't get along bc one kept burning incense in the house when the other had really bad asthma so she went in her room and took the cheap little incense burner worth literally $2 and when roommate B called the police they put roommate A in handcuffs and offered to arrest her bc technically roommate Bs room is private as she pays for that space. So yep even a sock would catch a charge.

    Michelle not trying to be mean but this is the 2nd comment in a row where you have said you would go to the landlord. I am a property manager and you have given bad advice both times. Her going to the landlord is absolutely pointless as that is not the landlords business to determine who's room is what and what belongings each person has therefore the landlord would do NOTHING in this situation again. Yes the police could arrest them for invasion of privacy but the Landlord NO! please read up on the terms of a lease/contract as well as the penalties for breaking a lease before you tell these people to keep running to their landlords. All that is going to do is give them a bad rental history and that will be a problem in the future when the next person ask for a rental reference. I doubt any of these posters have $8k minimum to break a lease. Your advice is the same as a Karen "can I speak to your manager?"

WTH does that have to do with going through MY stuff and WHAT does that have to do with finding a roommate? Do you think advertising that you have no respect for others rooms will make them rent from you? And why does your mom need to see my room? So many questions but my petty a*s would call the police bc searching my room and recording it is absolutely a crime and she needs to learn that lesson now and that she is ENTITLED to anyone else's room/space/belongings.

    I'm a nudist as well. If I were seeking a roommate, I wouldn't require they participate, just that they accept it. My house, my furniture, I'll sit how I want where I want. Though if I was in desperate need of a roommate, I'd offer to restrict it to my room.

I mean yeah, shouldn't be overfilling the bags so that the drawstrings rip but, ya know, to each their own. Slightly different buttons, but not as horrendous and some of these tone-deaf folks seem. Too harsh?

    I have had more than one store brand break, some had holes when I first opened the box, and they strings do tend to break. I buy glad flex because they work. I buy brand name Rapid Release Tylenol, because it's a patented formula that works faster. I buy Dawn, because nothing works better. But, I buy store brand TP, and paper towels, and many other things, like bandaids, ointments, and sonon. To me, it is about efficacy, so if it works, I buy it...if it doesn't, I try something else. But, I will never get so upset that I decide my only course of action is to gripe about it online.

    I do not understand why the pleading part of the written 'please' is the second 'e'- this creates a 2-syllable sound, which I suppose is more annoying, but not onomatopoeitically accurate. Hmm. Perhaps 1:30am is not the time to examine a peeve.

    The dynamics of shared living can be quite complex, often leading to unexpected tensions. In situations where roommates face challenges such as shared expenses or personal space, it's essential to find effective solutions. If you're dealing with similar issues, exploring ways to establish boundaries and prevent misunderstandings can be crucial.

    Consider how boundaries are sacrosanct when it comes to shared living spaces, and how maintaining these boundaries can prevent conflicts.

    More like friends with benefits and if you end up working enough hours, I will pay you. I think that sums it up quite well.

    I’m definitely on board with a smoke and drug-free home because I am moderately allergic to the smoke of cigarettes and related substances, such as weed. If somebody wants to drink at my place, I’d ask if they drink responsibly and that’s it. Otherwise, it’s a no-go. The rest is just…. strange to read!!

    I'll translate and condense it for you: "You're not allowed to wear perfume. You're not allowed to use soaps that aren't smells that *I* can tolerate! No males! No scary movies! In fact, no one who even LIKES the horror genre! (Ignore the fact that two of the TV shows I listed as me enjoying are based around MURDERS!! *YOU* can't like scary or dark shows/movies!!) No alcohol ever! Organic/natural health food only! You need to believe in health food and iNtEgRaTiVe MeDiCiNe!!" She isn't looking for a roommate, she's looking for a clone of herself.

    Not really. I am a female, and if I want to have a roommate, I am not sure if I would be comfortable living with a guy.

    Get a universal remote, then program it to his tv...turn it off, or the volume down, whenever you please.

    Is kinda a lot that OP has to say but roommate acts a bit like a douche. We don't know how they got to this place either. It seems like they need to have a face to face conversation, but I definitely know what it's like to try to talk with someone who speaks like the roommate and has mannerisms as such also. Such as making leading, gaslighting, or manipulative statements and then just walking away and refusing to speak to one another as adults. So you can't make any headway towards resolution. They don't seem to want to clarify the situation so you can move on. They seem to prefer to keep things in a murky and stagnant area where you're always left guessing. I hope OP finds some resolution.

    If things are that bad, talk. Have an actual negotiation. Someone who goes on a rant like this on a text has issues with communication and setting boundaries appropriately.
