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.

I Love My Wife Dearly, But This Is How She Leaves The Ice Cream After Getting Some For Herself
I've never seen this before. Why did she need to destroy half the carton?
Buy a carton for each of you. If she goes after your carton, this is not "cute" behavior. This is some form of selfish aggression.
I know I tread on unsteady ground here, but I'm reminded of an old girlfriend who - during certain times - seemed as though she would gladly destroy anything that stood between her and her chocolate fix.
Its called stress eating with ice cream it gets serious trust me ive seen my mom do it
She must have hallucinated that the carton was a monster??? Haha how tf do you manage that.
lol *comes back to put bowl in the sink and sees carton destroyed.* Well I cant put that back like that, itll get freezer burned. *eats the rest*
If the cartoon is damaged, she could put it in another container... I understand bc americans are considered "fat". So much people saying that is ice cream for once... For me, it seems too much
mine destroy ANYTHING opening stuff... even cut a condom opening it when we was young... the LAST ONE, obviously... now he's 32 and 6ft 1
You mean there really are people who don't eat the entire pint by themselves? I thought that was illegal. At least that was what I was told by a person who always eats the entire pint. Hmm...
Yep. I know if it looks like a rabid raccoon tore it open then it was actually my oldest daughter.
does this "wife" have claws for fingers? if so this guy might actually live with a monster.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T YOU DARE DESTROY MY ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did she manage to even get a scoop of ice-cream? My dog would do something like that.
I thought everybody stores ice cream in a ziplock bag to prevent rock hard ice cream
Uhm, no. I don't think that happens. In fact, never heard people even do that? Does it work?

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. :)

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.

I'm not the cleanest person in the whole wide world but I don't understand how these people are still in a relationship and/or still have roommates
I briefly had a roommate who 1. scorched the nonstick off my best skillet, 2. broke my wooden paper towel holder, 3. left a pen in his pocket, which exploded in my dryer, and 4. let a candle drip wax all over the floor. I *gently* encouraged him to move in with his girlfriend.
And this is why I love living alone. My house it in TOP shape. I am not sure I could compromise again after experiencing how nice it is not to have stress over this.
All the crap I give my husband for the way he loads the dishwasher, I now realize he's a keeper after looking at this behavior. He knew he wasn't going anywhere anyway, I've put up with it for 30 years already.
I've lived with a lot of people and heard stories from friends. My conclusion is most people are arseholes and this page confirms it for me.
I hope these people realize the BF or GF is going to be doing that for the rest of their lives. If you don’t like it now, imagine how you’ll feel after 10 years.
These people are just uneducated morons. BTW, those who put up with their crap are even bigger morons, though. My sister did that "leaving a spoonfool of whatever and put it back in the fridge" crap. I told her it was the first and last time I'd tolerate it. Never did it again.
You have to wonder if some of these people do it on purpose ... Out of spite, or to make sure they aren't asked or expected to do a chore in the future. Seriously some of these are so bad that if they were really that stupid and unaware they wouldn't be able to get pants on by themselves in the morning.
i'd say that 60% of these people are not monsters, they just dont notice. which is even more gross, imagine that folk living alone
Most of these pics severely triggered or worsened emotional conditions I didn't know I had.
These are all just plain selfish and don't deserve the good people in their life
These people are the people that leave a mess in the restroom and break room at work.
I honestly don't do any of these things. And I will not marry someone who does any of these things (I'll let it slide for the under the influence people)
When moving into a place you need to make an agreement on sharing household duties before hand. If a person can't uphold their side then don't move in with them. Also, if you are living with a slob you need to communicate with them clearly if they are doing something wrong. If they can't fix that behavior, move out or throw them out, since they clearly don't appreciate the fact they are "sharing" a space and can't just rely on you or anyone else to clean their messes up.
Toxic narcissism. No one exists but them. Some of this is beyond slovenly and veers into filthy and unsanitary. It's a sure sign of stupidity as well.
Some people disgust me...no courtesy or brains. Just extremely lazy and selfish
This post made my eye twitch, my skin crawl and gave me a migraine. Can't put it in my head how people can do stuff like that. I would disown them, cut them out of my life and avoid at all costs. Monsters.
All of these people are evil - the Spawn of Satan. Or teenagers. Not sure which.
The majority of these can be solved easily. Why keeping going through this over and over. Change how it is. People were raised in several different ways, different habits. In your house, with roommates, or the family you are raising, state why this or that is a better way (if they disagree, hear them out), then implement...soon they will fall in line. (unrelated room mates may be harder to deal with...but if you are clever, you can guide them as well) Really it is not that hard. For instance, that toothpaste thing (if it gets to that point you are just as much to blame, unless everyone has a separate tube) I have a slide mechanism thingy (cost maybe 2 dollars) on my tube. You just slide it up to push the toothpaste near the opening, no squeezing or excess squeezing needed. If excess, unused, toothpaste oozes out, and you see someone has let it...hold it under the hot water tap to remove build up each time...same with ketchup squeeze bottles. I say, think of solutions to make YOU happy, instead of complaining how others do NOT make you happy.
So I have to raise adults who should know better?

Omg! We have the laziest roommate. And it got worse when his aspiring chef of a girlfriend moved in
As a born neat freak, and frugal to boot, so this whole thing... I had to stop. I was starting to get the eye-twitchy urge to find a power hose and some strong soap and just blast all of it.... EW!
I think I was most triggered by wasted food/product in some of these, and by putting recyclables into trash.
Other than being young, broke, and having to share with random people due to budgetary restrictions.... if you chose to marry idiots who piss you off this much... you can also choose to divorce them (or just accept them as they are without bitching about them)
