1. Roommate has no concept of money. Impulse buy after impulse buy. Last purchase was a portable bose speaker that he has used maybe twice. He already is planning on getting the apple watch. He is spoiled by his parents, too. 24 years old. Also will not buy anything not name brand or apple.

2. He also always either hot or cold so our power bill is pushing $300. Thing is always running and I am the bad guy for setting it between 68-72. He blames the bill on a nonexistent "draft" that comes through the door seal. He has called repairmen to come look at the door and the AC unit several times and there is nothing wrong with it each time. I know my landlord hates us.

Had a roommate in grad school who decided to take up running. He would put on umbro shorts with what looked like nothing on under them. He would stand in the front yard for about 20 min doing various stretches, groaning and moaning as he went along. He'd take off running at breakneck speed and come back maybe 10 min later. He would fall out on the porch huffing and puffing like he just went 26.3. He would then hose himself down with the water hose loudly exclaiming how exhilarating that was and blather on about a runner's high. And after all that he wouldn't change or shower for hours...

PS the lack of undergarment became apparent when the water hose was introduced into the equation...

Sticking with this theme... the wife likes to use Tupperware that is clearly to big, like a 2 quart container for a cup of dressing, which takes up an obnoxious amount of space in the fridge.

-noisy eating; biting down on their fork while pulling it between their teeth making a metallic version of scratching a chalk board, loud chewing and gulping when drinking.

-The freaking instant I turn on the TV or car radio (especially with sports or news channels) asking me "whats going on?" To which I've given her the same answer for the last 32 years "If we're quiet we'll both know whats going on" Both annoying arse all hell, but I love her and would hate to think of what my life would be like if she wasn't around to do them.

My ex used to leave the cabinets open in the kitchen and not close the cereal box.

I would get home and the kitchen cabinets were wide open and the cereal was stale. Used to drive me crazy.

I have 3 roommates. 1 of them does laundry almost every day. Sometimes I'm out of clean clothes and I'm trying to get my foot in the door to do laundry for like 3 days before I get a chance. Also leaves lights and tv on 24/7. And I'm the only one who buys toilet paper, garbage bags, and paper towels.

Wife has a double standard when it comes to leaving things out. Particularly shoes. She will ask me to pick up or put away pairs of shoes while hers are strewn about and cluttering up the fricking closet. I just refer her to the junked closet and she gets mad. Whatever.

Also she watches the Today Show on a daily basis and doesn't understand why it's shite programming.

My roommate leaves dishes in the sink for weeks. The worst is after his protein shakes. Just fills the cups with water and leaves them. They start to smell like shite after a week or so. But I just let them be because I ain't cleaning that crap.


Relocate said dishes (water and all) to his bed. I guarantee that he'll get the message and it will stop.

My wife does this shite. 2 scoops of chili left, biggest tupperware we have. 4 quarts of chili left? It will surely fit in this little arse one.

My wife literally sets shite in the first place it will fit. If she opens the fridge and sees a spot front and center, it goes there. Comes home from work, the first place she can put all of her shite down, there it goes.

I spend way too much time moving all her cluttered crap.

Would especially suck if you're married.

Every time I leave the house, even during the day for just a few minutes to run to the store, my husband locks the door. Frustrating to have to drop grocery bags to unlock the door, but it should be done out of habit, right? Problem is I'll often get up in the morning and find the door UNLOCKED after he took the trash out or got something out of his truck the night before. WTF?

He is rubbing one out when you go to the store. The door being locked is his early warning system to "duck and tuck"

Doubtful when he's sitting on the couch with kids running around.
