I used to very briefly live in one of those houses where everyone shares a kitchen and mostly everyone was like, a kimchi-fermenting polyamorous vegan cook.

It was really awful. Their personalities were fine individually, but communally the feedback wrecked their brains. The kitchen was madness, and yet the cleanest part of the house. The yard was... Oh boy. They'd grow tons of veggies and herbs back there but never mow or trim the bushes, I tried one day and after hours of clipping and composting and raking it still looked like tangled poo poo.

It's hard enough to keep after my own poo poo without inviting others to utterly drop the ball, so I swore my next living situation would be solo.

Then I moved in with my girlfriend.

I want my own space so bad sometimes...

I kind of think my ideal situation would be to live with someone but have two houses/flats. Like, have a main/shared space where we both live most of the time, but have a second, smaller place that either of us can just retreat to to live alone for a couple of days whenever we like. 'Cause no matter how much you like someone, there can be too much of a good thing, and sometimes you just want to get away from everyone.

I've lived with people before that I really liked and got along with well basically all of the time, and I would still look forward to the times when they'd be away for a night (or more) and I'd have the place to myself.

That sounds good. Watching shows, sharing hobbies, or sharing meals with others is something I enjoy a lot. Sleeping around other people or trying to concentrate on writing or art is not.

One of the things I most want is to decorate my own way. Not compromise a single thing. I just want to see what it looks like! I've compromised my aesthetic for many many people... Even something as little as getting a different shade of the color I want because my wife dislikes it means I'm looking at it going "yeah, it's great! (But the one in my head was better oh well)"

And then with a toddler, aesthetic takes a backseat to garishly-colored products and weird piles of mushy cereal deposited on furniture. I guess it's been good for my anxiety response to messes.

I love it when I come home on an evening and the lights are all off, it's a night where I can sit around in my underwear, eat nachos, and watch some horror movies.

I try and be a body positive person, but it kinda annoys me when I find someone funny on Twitter (or some other social media platform), and I wind up discovering that her content is 80% focused on "Hey I've got a huge rack, give me 25 bucks a month on Patreon to see said rack on snapchat!"

I’ve lived with two groups of roommates and it’s been wonderful. I don’t like living alone.

Never fought anyone. Never got mad. Had some issues but never anything that escalated. We did have one bad roommate but we all agreed he was a piece of poo poo.

I’m also still really good friends with my first set of roommates. Maybe I got lucky.

It depends on your personality and also luck of the roommate draw. I don't have the right personality, and I've been unlucky, and I will do everything in my power to NEVER have roommates again.

I know that I need my own space, even on vacation. When I was working abroad, our program would organize group trips. To keep costs down, they rented a hostel that had group rooms. When I found out that they wanted 15 guys to share one general room, I freaked out and told them that I was still going with them but would find and pay for my own hotel room. I might have missed out on some group activities, but not having to deal with drunk roommates or get rudely woken by getting kicked in the face (which happened to someone) definitely outweighed any of the poo poo that I missed.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!
I have a very specific peeve involving one of my friends. We hang out a lot but he has the weirdest thing about music when he throws parties.

Usually he just leaves it off. I know that's not actually rude or anything but it's weird af. Bunch of rowdy dudes drinking and playing Cards Against Humanity with no music on in the background.

Then someone (me) will say hey can you turn something on and then it's really weird poo poo like the tedious type of EDM (not sure what subgenre this is, I love a lot of electronic music but this poo poo is boring and every song sounds alike), or remixes of Baby Shark, or 90s boy bands, or Adagio for Strings(?!)

Like how can my awesome friend, with his immaculate home with the tastefully modern decorating scheme and the professional-quality mood lighting, not understand musical atmosphere.

^^ who cares, he didn't want you to use it. you have to be diplomatic and respectful, neither trait i've seen in your posting, so it follows that nobody would live peacefully with you


Have you considered that maybe he didn't tell anyone about his stupid sponge separation of duties before trying to dunk on me? Plus it's a loving sponge, they cost like 30 cents to replace. And for the record I replaced the entire pack because he was so upset about it, but I still thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, up until he tried to wash the dishes with the super thick dawn dish soap and flooded the kitchen in suds.

And I have had good roommates and we got along enough to live together for 5 years. Still would never go back living with either of them. Even people you like have things that bother you to the point of becoming peeves, and like I said, imho the bad outweighs the good of having company and paying less money. I'd rather see them when we both feel like it, not every waking moment

I had a neighbor/friend who would exclusively play dropkick murphies and similar "irish" stuff at parties/any gathering that involved music. Can't stand anything with a banjo or bagpipes in it ever since.

People who walk through museum exhibits the wrong way (starting at the end). They set it up in an order for a reason. You're just messing up the flow of traffic. If everyone started at the beginning and moved along as they read you'd get through the thing twice as fast without any shoving.

Especially because any expert shitter uses the walk there to ease it out for efficient expulsion upon reaching the restroom. Interrupting that process is a dangerous game.
