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.

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.

My Dad Who Takes Bites Out Of Butter. Disgusting
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.

Heave-ho. Not in such as way as to destroy the contents--(I.e. don't throw things), but simply remove everything into a big pile into his bedroom and close the door. Note: DON'T clean up his trash, just get it out of the living room. Then have a conversation regarding the communal use of the living room--as a living room for both of you, not just him.

"Its Always So Cold In Our House. Our Furnace Sucks." -Wife Jan2020 -32C
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.”

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.

My Roommate Can’t Read
Kanishka Patel 3 years ago
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.

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.

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.
