<p>Do you guys find yourself having lots of problems with your roommates? If so what?</p>
<p>It really depends on your roommate. It seems like you either get along well, you never talk but you’re ok with that, or it’s tense every time they’re around.</p>
<p>My first roommate I got along with alright, he really liked drumming with his fingers on his desk and singing along to the two CDs he owned while wearing headphones. He also had a tendency to go to bed right after working out, so the room would stink a little, but other than that he was cool.</p>
<p>My second roommate was my best friend (and neighbor) from freshman year. We lived together until we graduated.</p>
<p>My first roommate at grad school was terrible. We shared an apartment, but it was impossible for me to keep his mess out of my room. Whenever he’d cook he’d just throw the trash on the floor, and my bedroom opened up into the kitchen. So, like, if I’d get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I could walk back into bed and have crumbs, food, and once even a little bit of chicken stuck to my foot. I moved apartments, and wound up getting a clean freak roommate. :(</p>
<p>I got along well with my roommate last year. We talked and occasionally did stuff together.</p>
<p>The key to getting along with your roommate is communication and fairness. If you’re having problems, talk them out. One of my friends had some problems with his roommate. They weren’t disastrous, but they were problematic nonetheless. The thing is, he never talked to his roommate about their problems; he’d always tell us, his friends. Don’t do that. Equity is also important. I wasn’t the only one on the hall who had a sexually active roommate. But, my roommate and I made a deal that we’d take turns using the room. If he used the room this time, then next time he’d find another place. It was the other sexually active roommates who were not fair: they would always use the room.</p>
<p>I always get a single room so I’ve never had a roommate (yet).</p>
<p>However, when I was working at Disney World they gave me five roommates. For me, the only thing that was actually irritating was my roommate would hit the alarm clock over and over - so, even though I didn’t have to get up, I’d be awoken repeatedly.</p>
<p>The girls I shared an apartment with before Disney moved me…well, that was hell. We were just complete opposites in personalities and constantly clashed until I got in a physical fight with two of them and Disney moved me into a different apartment (the former I mentioned.)</p>
<p>I agree with fabrizio. Communication is the key. Luckily, I didn’t have problems with my roommate (in fact, we’re gonna be roomies for another year!), so it came natural for us to respect each other’s space and privacy while still enjoying each other’s company. However I can’t say the same for my best friend, who had two horrible roommates. My friend would complain to me about them but she didn’t talk to them about it, so she end up suffering and not going into her room often. So communicate with your roommate!</p>
<p>Wow. Some good stuff here. Anyone have any problems of roommates touching and messing with your stuff?</p>

<p>I always got annoyed by roommates who actually lived in the same room as me. Best time is when I had a room to myself and 4 other roommates, 2 to each of the other 2 rooms. The simple things can annoy me, though there are some roommate horror stories I could tell.</p>
<p>My roommate threatened to kill me, so yeah, I had problems.</p>
<p>My son had a roommate who was as different from him as could be. They learned to enjoy their differences and are great friends.</p>
<p>Roomie was an early bird; my s is a nite-owl; my son is liberal, roomie was to the right of Attila the Hun; we are Jewish, roomie is staunch Roman Catholic.</p>
<p>They joined different fraternities but are best of friends.</p>
<p>It’s all in attitude. They WANTED to like each other and made the effort to always be considerate of each other.</p>
<p>My roommate would let random people sleep in my bed if I wasn’t there/got back late.</p>
