I’m not the worst roommate (I don’t think I am anyways) but I know I’ve got some flaws so here is a list of 15 things I know I do that make me a bad roommate
1. My room is almost always dirty
Just clothes scattered mostly, but boy do I hate folding clothes
2. I leave the dishes in the sink when I'm too lazy to do them
Come on, everyone does this.
3. I listen to my TV way too loud
Partially my fan's fault and partially the fact that I just can’t hear very well.
4. The vent fan in my bathroom is always on (and it's loud)
I have no idea why I leave it on, really. I just like the noise at night
5. I get hungry at 2 a.m. and let the microwave beep when my food is done
At 2 a.m. I’m not thinking about making sure the microwave doesn’t beep; I'm just trying to get some food!
6. I forget stuff all over the place
I lose things faster than anyone I’ve ever met, and most the time the thing I’m missing is sitting within 5 feet of me
7. I have at least one pair of shoes near the door at all times
You never know when you might have to run out the door in an instant. No seriously, I just take them off when I walk in and then never think to move them to my room
8. I leave stuff in the washer/dryer and forget about it
After the initial heart-stopping screech that it's done I forget pretty quickly to go move my stuff out of the way
9. I have a fan in my room to sleep and when it's on I can't hear a word my roommate says to me
This is why we always hang out in her room or in the living room. No fans… no problems
10. I hate taking the garbage out alone, so I almost always wait until my roomie suggest we take it together
The dumpster is so far away and I feel dumb going alone.
11. I leave the AC turned way down sometimes and we wake up to an icebox apartment
I love to sleep with it really cold, but sometimes even I get cold and then I know my roommate is frozen.
12. I slam the door (accidentally) when I come in late at night
I think the door to our apartment is lighter than other doors because I feel like the lightest pull will slam it shut.
13. I drop stuff constantly... my phone, books, food. You name it I drop it.
My phone hits the ground like 80 times a day.
14. I use blankets and then leave them spread all over the place
I mean who has time to refold a giant blanket?
15. I eat my roommates' food thinking it's mine
I do this a lot. We eat a lot of similar things so getting them mixed up really is an innocent mistake.
I swear I’m not a terrible roommate. She could probably add like 100 more things to this list but those are the 15 things I am aware of that make me a bad roommate.
