50 Times People Realized They’re Living With A ‘Monster’ And Just Had To Share The Evidence
If you never lived in a flat-share, were you even a student for realz? The question doesn’t really have an answer, but it shows one thing. Living with another person under one roof is a one-of-a-kind experience.
And it’s not only about leaving dirty socks in plain sight, bringing in a bunch of friends at 2 am, or borrowing chocolate biscuits with 0.001% intention to return them. Whichever side you were, or currently are, standing on, you probably feel right and the other person is most likely wrong.
But in the land of flat- and house-sharing, there are no right or wrong people, there’s only a nasty-meter that goes up every single time you put an empty pack of ice cream back to rest in the freezer. Call it an exaggeration, but god is in the details when it comes to flat-sharing.
Pssst! More 'I live with a monster' pics can be found in a previous compilation by Bored Panda right here.

Thesis Due In A Few Days And I Don’t Need This Extra Stress Of People Stealing My Stuff From The Communal Fridge
The Way My Dad Puts Things Away In The Fridge. This Is A Piece Of Steak
Living with someone is never easy. Whether you’re partners, friends, or random students who met by pure chance and equal need to share a flat, the truth is, a big part of the deal comes down to not-so-sweet moments. Like, noticing your biscuit bag rapidly shrinking in size, or drinking the chamomile tea and shoving in the ear plugs since your roommate is a night owl with a passion for techno.
Sometimes, though, it gets more awful than that. And when you realize your relationship has become somewhat passive-aggressive and your sticky note battle is getting out of hand, it may be too late to save your (and your roommate's, for that matter) sanity.

Fortunately, there are some things everyone can do to make sure sharing a flat is not a one-way ride to hell. First, make sure you’re compatible from the very beginning. I know, nobody is going to marry their roommate, but being sure you have similar lifestyles, hobbies, and at least, are not immediately averse to one another is a good start.
However, many people who have experienced a flat share can assure you that living with your best friend is not a good idea either. Even though it sounds like a dream come true, living with your BFF may reveal less savory aspects of people’s personalities (And personal hygiene.) After all, it’s not worth putting your friendship on trial just so you two can spend even more time under one roof.
The truth is, when you start living with someone you know, little things that you were not particularly keen on about their personalities often snowball into giant arguments.

Even though there are no existing rules governing how roommates should live with one another, psychologist Fredric Neuman suggests a couple of things to have in mind. First, it’s mutual respect. “By respect, I mean certain specific things: Do not eat the other person’s food unless you ask first. Do not borrow clothes, or pick up money lying around, or take up any other possession of the other person without asking first.”

Second, it’s following through financial commitments so that none of the roommates feel pressured. Also, chores should be done without reminding one another, so make sure to set up a schedule in the communal zone.

According to Fredric Neuman, it’s best not to keep close track of everything you do for your roommate. “Weighing every action on a scale leads invariably to someone feeling disadvantaged,” he argues, so it’s best not to set your expectations too high.

This should be common sense, but you’d be surprised how many roommates actually don't comply with not going into your roommate’s bedroom unless they are present. Setting boundaries before starting to live together is a great way to make sure everyone is one the same page.
For some people, common sense may vary, and letting everyone know you’re not comfortable with anyone visiting your room without you present is a simple way to avoid miscommunication.
Day 6 Of Living With A Roommate For The First Time. I’m Looking For A New Place
My Roommate Can’t Read
I can imagine how annoying it must be living with bad roommates. My aunt had one in college and the roommate was so lazy. My aunt then got tired and she said she would not cook for anyone anymore.(And yes, she also did that for the roomate). So, my aunt was a hardworking person and she would make dinner early and go off to work. Then, the roommate would eat her dinner and she would e hungry. Also, she wasn't very rich back then and the roommate was a monster, in my opinion.

Dafuk is wrong with people? How are there so many disgusting people out there doing this stuff?
Some are weird others are straight up lazy. It'a mostly laziness.

For the past few weeks, I've been ashamed of the mess in my home. After these photos I am proud of my neat home.
My tip is to focus on one area at a time and tidy it up. It's a lot more manageable to do like this and it'll make you feel better. :)
Load More Replies... I'm baffled by all these posts where people buy a, how do I call it, a set of products (cereal with marshmallows or yoghurt with chocolate chips, or that snack box with ham pieces) and then only eat one part of it. Why won't you just buy a bag of marshmallows?
They didn't buy it with their own money, on the whole. Mostly it was bought by parents, otherwise their housemate or SO bought it for the house.
