Years ago I'd have assumed this was bullshit because lol Internet but I've had enough poo poo happen that no one would believe to say good job that's pretty awesome. Unless you're lying in which case gently caress you.


I can't imagine having to live with someone who made me wear pants, I don't know how the rest of you do it.

This.
I've only ever lived on my own once and that was for six months and I spent most of the time at my girlfriends before we just moved in together.

But at least in the past I lived with friends.
I live with some randoms right now in a place I found on Gumtree and it sucks balls, seven of us in a big house but I only really get on with two of them,think nothing of the other and kind of dislike the other two.
At least my hate/dislike is symmetrical ,how about that?

One called Dave is the worst, total mouth breathing fat gently caress and just acts awkward as gently caress all the time. I've actually got friends who don't like coming round 'cause they don't like dealing with him. The other guy I don't care for who I call Frodo is weird as well, I've lived here for nearly a year and I've only heard him talk around five times. His weird girlfriend stays some weekends as well and she's just as odd as him.

On the brightside until last month we had this weirdo living with us.

Which was loving hilarious once we uncovered all this but even before hand she was creepy as gently caress with a real serial-killer vibe. Told me once she could "smell" peoples emotions and freaked out screaming and crying because there was a spider in her room.

The only good time I can remember having is when I came in at 3:30 odd on xmas eve and found that sad sack Dave had been in all night on his own until recently another housemate John had came in from clubbing and me and him each had a free couple of grams each of Dave's coke and John picked up Daves Ipad and smashed against the wall and Dave started crying.



Sharing a house sucks balls but nobody would do it unless they have to....

i haven't done the roommate thing but it worked out okay for some of my friends

By that i mean the house became filthy almost immediately, no one wanted to do their chores during their shift, and one of them straight up hosed off and stopped paying rent on time at his mother's behest

but i could go there and smoke weed and play video games it was p cool

I'd feel retarded not having a roommate while renting. And if I saw someone laugh at me for having a roommate I'd stare with pity at their mental illness.

My roomate is an alcoholic who drinks a 6 pack or more every night and im getting sick of picking up the cans all over the appartment. He used to be a great friend but now hes just an annoying retard that falls asleep on the couch or fumbles to open the door at 3 am and i lust for alcoholic overdose death.

Roommates can be pretty great. I had roommates in undergrad but in grad school and beyond I've lived in 1 bedrooms. Sometimes I miss the good roommates, it was kind nice to basically have my 2 best friends and girlfriend all living in the same place, but then I remember how much the lovely roommates sucked and it just doesn't seem worth it.

Move into a smaller apartment if you can't afford the rent. If your after work existence is spent loving around on here and on Steam when you're not jerking off, what the gently caress do you need more than one bedroom for, peasant?

If cost of living is high where you live you might have to choose between roommates and a studio even with a decent income and I know I'd go for roommates if it came down to that.
