I have lived with friends for 3.5 years of my life. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great way of living with roommates and far superior to shacking up with a bunch of randos. When you live with people you know and love, you feel responsible for ensuring their living space is a happy, …

34-year-old man allows his female friend to use his female roommates expensive shampoo and conditioner, asks her why she hid them from her the 2nd time she tried to use them: ‘It’s not my responsibility to provide spa products for her’
There are implicit social rules about borrowing things from roommates. I will ask my roommates if I can borrow one of their tomatoes for a recipe, but I won’t hesitate to use their garlic powder without asking. Life would be so tedious if every roommate had to buy their own eggs that only they could …

A Giant Box Full of Moving Memes for Folks Getting by With One Set of Silverware and a Deflated Air Mattress
Moving places isn’t easy. Besides the obvious packing up your entire life, the mental stress of going through everything you own and deciding if it’s worth keeping is the worst.

40-year-old parents leave their 3-year-old’s stroller in front of their neighbors door for months, mom gets her mom to yell at the neighbor after she reported them to property management: ‘Her mother berated me on speaker phone’
It’s common for residents of small apartment buildings in New York to store some of their stuff in the hallway. My neighbor stores his bike against the railing in the hallway between our door and the stairs upstairs, and it’s not a nuisance to us or the people in apartment 3. Sometimes, you don’t have …

‘This poor animal’: Cat owner leaves cat at home alone for 3 weeks, roommate threatens to break her lease 8 months early
The wonderful thing about cats is that they don’t require much from us. Most of them love to keep to themselves and will lash out if you try to bother them. They have strict boundaries, and when you cross them, they will let you know (I have the scratch marks to prove it). You don’t …

Careless roommate leaves moldy food and moldy rice cooker in the kitchen for weeks, scolds her roommate for throwing her moldly things away after she already left for Christmas break: ‘She complained I was disrespecting her space’
When you live with other people, you often have to ask yourself, «How much responsibility should I take for their mess?» Some people think that they should only clean up after themselves and that doing any dishes more than what they dirty is an affront to their personal liberty. In my opinion, most households only …

37-year-old man protests when pregnant younger sister refuses to give him $4500 to pay HOA fees for apartment owned by him and his wife: ‘He is saying they could lose their condo’
As with most relationships, few things can create tensions between families like money. On one level, it is understandable to feel like you want to support those related to you wherever necessary and/or expect that support when you need it, but there are limits to this kind of generosity that many people choose to stretch. …

28-year-old refuses to let newlywed sister and her husband stay at her apartment for 3 weeks and rearrange her furniture: ‘She wants me to adjust my lifestyle for them as a couple’
It’s important to be careful with the people you let stay in your house rent-free. If my parents needed to stay with me when they got too old to live alone, I’d accept them with open arms. But aging parents or your children are very different dependents than able-bodied young adult family members. There’s definitely …

College student demands roommate accommodate her schedule so the bathroom is always free when she comes home, roommate refuses, leading to a dispute: ‘You need a reality check’
There are a lot of things about college that I miss, but having a roommate is definitely not one of them. To be completely honest, having to share my living space with someone else is probably the one thing I hated the most during my college experience. College is the first time you get to …
