deal or no deal

Currently listening to: Set Adrift On Memory Bliss – PM Dawn

I can remember when
I caught up with a past-time intimate friend
She said, “Bet you’re probably gonna say I look lovely
But you probably don’t think nothin’ of me”
She was right, though, I can’t lie
She’s just one of those corners in my mind
So I just put her right back with the rest
That’s the way it goes, I guess

PM Dawn – Set Adrift On Memory Bliss

What habit of a roommate would be an immediate dealbreaker for you?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

There are a few for me:

  • poor hygiene
  • messy and doesn’t keep the common area clean. No to hoarders too.
  • goes into my room without asking
  • eats my food without asking
  • eats all my food
  • financially irresponsible, can’t pay their portion of the rent/utilities
  • tries to borrow money from me
  • has friends or significant other over all the time
  • has anger management issues
  • noisy AF
  • smokes, doesn’t matter if it’s nicotine, THC, meth, crack, or whatever. No thanks.
  • raging alcoholic
  • obsessed with me and my friends. I’d want that person to have their own lives and not be co-dependent.
  • steals my shit
  • racist
  • lack of respect for others
  • hates animals but also doesn’t have 19823918 pets
  • hits on my friends
  • constant complainers

And this is why I lived alone while attending uni.

What are your dealbreakers?

    I will never share a room with anyone for more than just a week holiday. Living in a house share has pushed me to the very limit in my uni days

    My deal breaker is when something smells.

    You know when your housemate isn’t right when something starts to smell. It’s can range from them smoking in their room so much it smells like a wet ashtray when their room door is opened, have a shit hygiene that you’re sure that something is definitely fermenting in their room, or they’re hiding a dead body under their bed animal or otherwise…

    And if that’s how they treat their bedroom, imagine how green and fluffy the inside of their food container inside the common fridge would be. gag

      Ewwwwww when I lived in the dorms I had a single so I wasn’t subjected to that type of torture 😆

        AND THEY ARE GIRLS!! I really didn’t expect that.

        At least I had an en-suite in uni so I don’t have to share toilet seat with them.

    This is why I don’t want a roommate when I move out. Yes to most of these but also including if they’re a party animal and very extroverted and try to drag me to social events or try to set me up with someone. NO.

      Lolol yess too much of an extrovert makes me more of an introvert

    Also did I hear this correctly but a good roommate needs to hit on your friends? Because you said, “doesn’t try to hit on my friends.”

    1. justrojie Avatar

      😆 I wouldn’t want my roommate to hit on my friends, I meant

    all I need for a dealbreaker is if that dude steps one foot into my room without knocking, contract’s over baby

    Excessive and uncontrolled flatulence.

    Pyromania.

    The two together – a VERY dangerous combination.

      They should harness that to make a weapon of mass destruction

        When they round us up and put us in gulags, that’s exactly who my bunkmates will be.

    Smokers of any type is a big no, i once shared a house with someone who grew science experiments from leftovers in the fridge, she also once had friends over for a meal, used every single dish pot and pan (including mine) and if i wanted to make dinner i had to clean my stuff 😡 or get take out.

    You have it all covered! I had strict rules for when my son moved in with me. Granted, I may be a bit more lenient because he is my son, but he has adhered to my rules well. We get along great. Basically, he had no choice. Follow my rules … or where else was he going to go? 🙂

    I can’t stay with any roomies…I need solitude alot!

    Although if conditions happen – like I am out for workshops or so…and need to accomodate for money reasons…
    – My first would be no-chatter-box
    – Doesn’t speak loudly
    – Respects boundaries.
    – Doesn’t take up my chargers and hangs it all over the place…all the time 😬
    – Doesn’t fart nasty often hehe…
    – I don’t wanna share my skincare pls…
