Roommates!

edited September 2012 in Social Entropy++
So I will apparently be getting a roommate soon.

I have some disgusting habits that will make me a terrible roommate. For example, when I shave, hair goes EVERYWHERE.

What disgusting habits do you have and how do you keep your roommate/significant other/cat from yelling at you for them?

Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    I decide what I want for dinner by licking everything in the fridge and seeing what takes my fancy.

    Learn how to shave like an adult maybe?

    I'm kidding, children don't shave

    That'd be weird

    And bloody

    children don't shave themselves.

    For some reason, they do shave balloons on occasion

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    shave in the shower, spot check when you get out of the shower or get one of those shower mirrors so you don't miss any spots

    you're welcome.

    i'm a bad roommate because when i shave i cut myself and arterial blood sprays everywhere

    I use a safety razor and brush. It wouldn't be so bad but I think I wait too long to shave. I trim with one of those cheapass beard trimmers too, and I think that's where the problem comes in. Those rapidly moving blades are literally like a chainsaw.

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    I forgot people do this. It may be the answer for me.

    But that doesn't help my many other disgusting habits! And it doesn't give me secret disgusting ammunition about each and every one of you.

    This is a brainstorm guys, we're brainstorming

    As a kid I was scared of shaving because my dad used a straight razor because he's a doofus. Eventually I learned that straight razors are not normal these days, and there are better ways.

    my roommate has a beard trimmer from sharper image that has a little vacuum in it so maybe look into one of those

    I'm moving into a house my mom was planning to sell because I can't afford to live on my on. My new roommate is a 24 year old divorced man with three kids who also can't afford anything better.

    We're all pathetic, together

    I can't imagine how much money I'd need to make to live on my own (and not in those sweet high crime areas). I'm guessing...a lot.

    My only disgusting habit that tends to annoy roommates is sometimes we sort of end up sleeping together?

    More like, ethically disgusting than anything

    Not nearly as much hair involved

    I also sometimes don't load my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. But that's because I don't empty the dishwasher. But that's because I like to know where my dishes are.

    I think I can handle this one by myself, though

    I am not worried about this happening!

    If it does happen, it will be purely platonic sleeping together. Like you know, like a cuddle party

    Why would emptying the dishwasher mean you don't know where they are?

    Empty the goddamn dishwasher. Clean up your own disgusting hair when you shave. Jesus christ, act like a goddamn grownup.

    The dishwasher thing is mostly because I live alone and I don't HAVE to act like a goddamn grownup. Like I said, I think I can handle that one on my own.
    My disgusting hair though, I was mostly looking for ways to stop my disgusting hair from getting everywhere.

    You ain't living alone for long. Get in the habit of putting your shit away.

    Holy crap I can't wait to not have a roommate any more. Dude I'm living with is fucking crazy. Like no foolin' round-the-block nuts. Scary dude.

    Couple more weeks and we're out for good. Signing the lease Saturday, and moving a ton of boxes over all weekend. It'll be a couple weeks of shuttling stuff on weekends and packing every day after work, but oh man it's gunna be sweet.

    I'm pretty good about most my other shit. Laundry in the laundry basket, clothes on hangers, etc. Just sometimes I leave dishes on the sink (which I would have no problem fixing) and my shaving events need a little more cleanliness. Which I think Langly may have solved.


    My last roommate, I was only like.. 19 at the time. He was a cool guy, I had bad habits then, but he had bad habits too (such as not being able to pay rent for another few weeks), so I covered for him and he dealt with my stupid shit.

    He recently came to town again and gave me another 50 dollars. I think he's committed to just giving me money for life since I covered his half of the rent so often.

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    yeah i mean there is but having a roommate keeps that shit in check for me

    like with my last roommates

    i get hair everywhere when i shave but i cleaned it up pretty well because i don't want to be gross and get into a tiff with my roommate

    same with leaving shit in the sink

    the only part of the apartment that was pretty dirty was my room cause i'm a bit of a slob and they can't get on my case if my room is dirty

    just do everything with the motivation of "i don't want to get into an argument" if you have to

    paint your name on all your dishes and then if any of your roomates use them just start eating off the plate. if they complain just remind them that the plate has your name on it so it is obviously your food, and actually could they stop eating your dinner???

    actually Langly that reminds me that I do need to put a label on all my shit. We have a lot of similar things so it'd be good to do that.

    i'm a bit afraid to live by myself again (i've actually never lived by myself but i had a roommate once who was never really home so it was basically like i was) because i'm lazy/messy especially during bouts of depression

    trying real hard to get over that
