These Posts Of Horrendous Roommates Should Prevent You From Ever Living With People Again
Living with another person under the same roof requires compromise. After all, everyone wants their home to be an oasis from the stresses of the outside world. Not to mention all the responsibilities you have to share to keep everything in order, such as bills, chores, and other maintenance tasks that demand mutual understanding and cooperation.
But apparently, that's too much to ask from some people. There's a subreddit called 'Bad Roommates' and it's full of tales about the gross, the annoying, and the psychotic. So we at Bored Panda decided to compile some of the most memorable ones to remind you just how important it is to find someone that you can get along with. Otherwise, you might end up in a situation that seriously tests your patience and sanity.

I feel like I'd be a s**t roommate cause I'm messy as f**k and super forgetful but at least I'd own up to it and try to fix whatever I messed up
Gabriela Cink 1 year ago (edited)
Omg, I rented house with 5 other friends. We had one meeting together to agree on rules and how to share cleaning of common space. And except few incidents we had 0 issues. And I brought basically all kitchen appliances and dishes. If someone needed something, he just asked. I'm glad i was this lucky. Where this people in this thread find this audacity to even think that other people should live with them in one space...
