Good And Bad Roommates: 10 Things Everyone Experiences
Kaleo

No matter where you go to college, you will more than likely have a roommate. You may have one while you're in the dorms or you may get one to live with off-campus. Hopefully you don't have to deal with a bad roommate but, in case you're questioning what type they are, here are a few basic scenarios to decide. If somehow you got blessed with a good roommate, hold them tight and never let them go because when they're bad, they're bad.

1. A good roommate will become your friend and get along with your own group of friends.

A bad roommate will do everything they can to make your friends feel uncomfortable.


2. A good roommate will buy you little gifts because they love you.


A bad roommate will break and ruin your favorite things "on accident."


3. A good roommate will share their food with you.

A bad roommate will eat a five course meal in front of you while you enjoy your buttered noodles.


4. A good roommate will let you borrow their clothes.

A bad roommate will borrow your clothes and somehow ruin them. Every. Time.


5. A good roommate will help you walk home when you’ve had a bit too much to drink on Thirsty Thursday.


A bad roommate will leave you with the wolves only after they’ve taken embarrassing pictures and sent them to every big Snapchat user out there.


6. A good roommate will take out the garbage when it’s full.

A bad roommate will keep piling up trash until your whole room is a landfill.


7. A good roommate will quietly sneak in when you’ve had a long day.

A bad roommate will slam open the door, break some glass, turn on the lights, blast music and have a impromptu dance party at four am.


8. A good roommate will leave the room when they have to take a personal phone call.

A bad roommate will stay in the room where you’ll be forced to hear about every bad thing that their significant other has ever done in their life or what new gross thing they’ve found on their body.


9. A good roommate will go to the gym with you and encourage you to get in shape.

A bad roommate will continuously judge you for not making it to the gym or not being as fit as they are.


10. Finally, a good roommate will wash their clothes.

And a bad roommate won’t. And it will reek.


If more than three of these "bad roommate" scenarios fit your roommate, then good luck Charlie: you'll need it.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
