Earlier today, I highlighted why living with roommates is one of the worst parts about that weird transitional period between being a kid and becoming a real person. It boils down to this: Nobody wants to live with somebody they don’t know if there’s any chance that situation can be avoided.
Is there a chance you’ll make a new friend that fills a hole in your life that you didn’t even know existed?
Of course there is — there’s also a pretty good chance that you’ll find some random quirk that makes you increasingly incensed until you finally snap and murder everyone you live with. I don’t think it’s worth the trade-off.
Life According To Jimmy released a video outlining all the things you should do if you want to be the worst roommate in the world, and based on the amount of ire I felt slowly building inside me while I watched, I’d say that they managed to check all the major boxes.
The only thing I would have added? Waking up in the morning only to discover that someone you live with decided to decorate the kitchen wall by throwing steak knifes at it. Maybe that’s not a universal thing, but it’s still pretty aggravating.
