Terrible Roommates

When “split the rent” turns into “split sanity”

Living with someone can be a joy–or a chaotic descent into passive-aggressive Post-it warfare. Let’s honor the worst of the worst:

1. The Refrigerator Raider
They only take bites. From everything. Yes, even your yogurt.

2. The Aspiring Drummer (At 3 A.M.)
Silence is violence, they say–so they keep banging on buckets.

3. The Pet Hoarder
Claims “they’re just fostering” twelve ferrets. None have left.

4. The Bathroom Philosopher
They only think deeply while you’re waiting to pee.

5. The Naked Chef
They cook in the nude. It’s never the food that’s the problem.

Terrible roommates: because the lease lasts a year, but the trauma lasts forever.
