I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t had a roommate in quite some time. I have, however, lived with my spouse for years. Frankly, I’m not sure if that’s better.
I kid, of course (if she’s reading this). A significant other is the best kind of roommate because they actually love you and want to make your life better (mostly).
On the other hand, Craigslist roommates or friends you’ve decided to live with don’t always have your best interest at heart. Then again, some are perfect.
Below is a list of people I’d never want to live with and also people I’m jealous I can’t spend the rest of my life sharing a space with.
These are the best and worst roommates to ever live with someone:
1. When you have to have this much back and forth about the toilet paper, one of you is probably the bad roommate.
2. This kind roommate proved her roommates wrong and cleaned the “permanently stained” sink.
3. “Was worried about my packages, but came home to this.”
4. Roommates who have a cute way of paying the rent are fun but also infuriating.
5. This is what real kindness looks like.
6. Evict this person now.
7. “My roommate set up Christmas lights in our carport so the birds who get stuck there can find their way out.”
8. This roommate remembered that their friend got a Pikachu balloon when she was 5 and got her another one. She cried.
9. Leaving a few doesn’t make up for eating them all.
10. “Roommate left the water on for 7 hours.”
11. “Roommate brought home pizza and we’re watching the Aristocats. It’s the little things.”
12. “My roommate is quarantining because of COVID. It’s not his birthday.” That’s a good roommate.
13. The thought that counts.
14. Wow. That’s a kind person.
15. When the rent is due but there’s no pressure. That’s a kind roommate.
16. Kind of gross but very sweet.
17. Roommate puts the spatula on a stand so food doesn’t mess up the counter.
18. Roommate is throwing out dishes instead of washing them. Not good.
19. How about “my body, my choice”?
20. Roommate is treating the common area as his own room.
21. Who does this?
22. How far will the tally go?
23. This roommate is an alien.
24. The sweetest friend. Good looking out.
25. Going out of your way to write a good apology. A+ roommate.
26. Checking in.
27. Maybe not the nicest, but I’m sure it made his roommate smile.
28. Roommate made Christmas ornaments for everyone living in the house.
