One time, my roommate decided it would be a good idea to adopt a kitten without discussing it with me first. I came home to find the little furball sprinting around our apartment, knocking over everything in its path. I love cats, but I wasn’t prepared for the chaos. We ended up having a few hilarious but stressful nights trying to cat-proof our place!
Another time, I had a roommate who left dirty dishes piled high in the sink for weeks. I eventually reached my breaking point and started leaving passive-aggressive notes. The situation escalated until we had a “dishes summit” where we both aired our grievances and finally came to a cleaning compromise. Sometimes, you just have to address the elephant in the room!
Finally, there’s the classic: the roommate who “borrows” your things without asking. I once found my favorite hoodie in their closet. I was annoyed at first, but we ended up laughing about it after I confronted them. Now we have a rule: if you’re borrowing something, you have to return it in a week, no questions asked!
What about you? Any funny or frustrating roommate tales?
I have a few roommate stories that stand out!
