OP says their roommates “illegally practice medicine” on them and leave their equipment everywhere. That’s insane. What kind of doctor would be so negligent as to you unsterile plastic tools on a patient? Tsk tsk.

When your irresponsible friend turns into a simp, use that against him. Austin here proves he’s a genius. That apartment had better be nice and tidy.

OP here had some incredibly unbearable roommates. Never cleaning up after themselves despite making the biggest messes. Eventually, OP decided that you can’t put a price on peace of mind and a clean home. Good for them.

Cats have a knack for helping themselves to your things despite not paying rent or bills. And when they start invading your cosmetics, I think it’s time to set some healthy boundaries. Or get them their own, I guess.

Hey, with inflation as high as it is, ketchup can be a valuable resource. What else am I supposed to put on my cheap rice and frozen foods that I got for $10? But jokes aside, it is pretty sad to see how the so-called “cost of living” can change people.

OP’s roommate hadn’t lifted a finger to do their share of cleaning, so they planted some chia seeds to try and get the message across. So, will you start by at least wiping some of those surfaces?

Whether it’s being considerate, or they’re just insane, this person’s roommate seems to have some adversity to hearing the microwave beep. Just looking at that timer gets me annoyed. What is wrong with you?

OP suspected his roommate was pilfering his things while he was gone. So he set up a camera, and lo and behold, he was right. And his thieving roommate had the nerve to flip off the camera, then leave via a train the night he was caught without saying a word.

This roommate’s blowing their top because OP made an error and didn’t account for a pet fee when splitting the expenses. It’s a blunder on OP’s part, sure. But nothing that would justify this reaction. Red flag much?

Meet possibly the most disgusting roommate on this list. OP wanted this room to be her daughter’s room (she was 8 months pregnant), and instead put up with her roommate turning it into a landfill. He refused to shower, wore the same clothes for weeks, tried to sneak his homeless friend in, and probably bred several airborne diseases in this room. He’s gone now, thankfully.

Speaking of disgusting roommates, check out this poster’s brother-in-law. The smell was hard to ignore, and OP caught it from way outside the room. I don’t know what kind of lifestyle would make someone drink this much soda, but that’s a surefire way to develop kidney failure before long.

OP’s roommate invited her boyfriend to live with them without asking everyone else first. Already pretty inconsiderate, but it went a step further when the pair began using the hallway to put their 50 pairs of shoes in. I hope they had a talk about this.

This person gave OP an old desk they weren’t using anymore, and when their dog pooped next to it, they felt like that was a good time to remind OP it was their desk. Where do you even begin with someone like this?

Our OP wanted to know what these bugs were that they kept finding in the room they just rented. Those are, in fact, bed bugs. And if you’ve found them this early on, you might need to call an exterminator before you think about laying in that bed.

OP’s best friend proved why not all friends are worth living with. She never cleaned up after herself, let her dogs poop and pee everywhere, and overall turned the place into a breeding ground for mold and foul smells. Absolutely atrocious.

See that spilt chili and the mess on the stove? OP’s roommate showed that they’re not that many steps away from living like an animal. The comments talked OP into moving out, which I hope they did.

Most of us can relate to the depression part, and maybe the almond milk. But I can’t say I’ve exactly split rent with a spider before. Spiders don’t believe in paid labor, I would guess.

When you need to place some boundaries, you need some kind of threat or way to back it up. Now, the way OP chose to do it may not be my first choice, but if it does the job, I’m in no place to question it.

OP’s roommate hasn’t gotten rid of this pumpkin since Halloween ended. And by the looks of it, Halloween ended a pretty darn long time ago. Hey, you can’t fertilize concrete. Throw that thing out.

Some people don’t know that you aren’t supposed to scrub Teflon pots and pans. OP had a feeling their roommates were one of those people, and they guessed right. That saved them the trouble of damaging a perfectly good cooking pot.

OP’s roommates took a cab home, told the driver they had to go inside to get the money, then locked themselves inside avoiding having to pay. Naturally, the cab driver didn’t like this and called the police. OP and their boyfriend had to intervene and pay the cab driver for the trouble.

We’ve seen lots of young folks talk about things that cause them trauma or mental stress, and the trouble is knowing if they’re telling us the full story or not. Bushwick seems to be full of these people, at least, according to this Tweet. Come on, I don’t think you need to vent about your roommate asking you to do the dishes, right?

OP considered this roommate of theirs “a dear friend” until they were asked to do the bare minimum. The roommate never cleaned up, despite promising to several times. OP was pregnant and had her own things to unpack, which she could never get to doing because she was always picking up his trash first.

According to this poster, this trail you see is made of the ash trails of a heavy smoker roommate. My only question is just how much does this person smoke to create a trail like that? And what’s worse is that they left and blocked OP when told that the landlord would charge them for the damages done to the carpet.

OP’s roommate left the counter and sink like this for months. I thought it was pretty bad already at first glance, seeing all the rotten food. Then I realized that wasn’t rotten food, those are maggots. And that’s when I felt like throwing up.

“Lucky” is this roommate’s dog. OP called them out for neglecting the dog, since the roommate just let the dog poop everywhere. It had matted fur from poor hygiene, and when OP spoke to them about it, they pulled this. Basically, “I’m sick of you saying I don’t care about the dog, so I’m going to leave them with you, thereby proving I don’t care about it.”

This person refused to pay rent, left when asked to, caused OP to shoulder the rent they owed, and also left a note with some death threats to their roommates. They seem like a nice person. Did I mention they left all this stuff behind?

Landlords don’t have the best reputation among our generation, and this one’s not really doing themselves any favors. This is such an elaborate way to try and solicit $5 from your tenant. You might as well just ask for the money.

Now, for a less dislikable landlord, check this one out. When your tenants aren’t cleaning properly, employ the ever-reliable good noodle board. You might not get 74 stars like Spongebob, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.

OP went out her way to cook and prepare dinner for her roommates, who then thanked her by making her do the dishes. Hey, OP, if you’re reading this, never cook anything for them again. They don’t deserve you.

You know, that’s kinda rude, but at least they left the place tidy and spotless. That’s a pretty nice change of pace compared to literally everything on this slideshow that came before it.

They were using OP’s room, bathroom, and office without permission. OP was immediately informed in the comments that there’s a difference between a squatter and what this is. Squatters occupy vacant homes, and since this home isn’t vacant, then these people are trespassing. Time to call the police!

This slideshow started off with a trend of roommates having horrible hygiene, and now the trend’s changed to roommates just straight-up violating privacy and even the law. OP’s roommate is trying to get her to move out by frustrating her, even going as far as to install a camera facing the bathroom so they can’t undress.

This roommate already ate the hashbrown, and then tried to cover it up by asking this afterwards to make it look like they asked first. They got found out, and OP wasn’t happy. See, the lesson here is that asking is better than apologizing.

OP’s roommate came home blackout drunk, and then broke the door trying to get in. It’s something out of a cartoon, and it makes me wonder if the door is just really poor-quality or if this roommate is a lot heavier than I think.

OP told their roommates they had vodka, and so they helped themselves to it. Like, almost all of it. It might not be wise to tell your roommates what you have, cause you never know how much self-control they have.

OP’s roommate has a pizza problem that they won’t clean up, and it led to a scene like this. That looks straight-out of a cartoon or a comic. Are they trying to build a tower?

If I had to stay more than 1 semester with someone this messy, I would just drop out. How do people live like this? How do they expect to live in the real world after school?

OP says they’re tired of their roommate not cleaning up after themselves, and I’m still just confused. What am I looking at? A prison? A dungeon? Who’s your roommate? A goblin?
