Something fishy is going on here. If your roommates don’t do something that annoys you a little bit, you’re probably living with a robot and not a real person. If you decide to cohabitate with other people, you have to get used to the fact that they’re going to do little things that you don’t …

18-year-old roommate talks to her girlfriend on the phone from 10 PM to 3 AM every night, keeping her roommates up all night: ‘I am MISERABLE! My ears have bruises from sleeping in AirPods for the last 4 months.’
She’s lucky she didn’t tell their RA about this during week one of living together. Freshman year dorm roommates are always such a gamble. Some lucky ducks are able to live with their friends or acquaintances from high school, but most of us get shoved into a bedroom with a complete stranger. It’s bad enough …

Employee set boundary to not answer any work calls after 7 PM, boyfriend answers her bosses call on her phone at 8:30 PM and tattles on her: ‘[He said] I was too busy relaxing to talk’
I hate people who act like Reddit characters in real life. You know exactly who I’m talking about…the dudes who always try to make themselves the epic main characters of any situation by shutting down «the man» in the most corny manner. I’m all for sticking it to the man, but you don’t have to …
