<p>Do you guys have trust issues with your roommates? Like do you trust them with your stuff??</p>
<p>I believe it all depends on the guy and the situation.</p>
<p>However, imo trust is quite rare on campus …</p>
<p>I just want a roommate I can trust, and not to have to worry that she’ll steal or ‘borrow’ my stuff! lol</p>
<p>Of course I trust my roommate. Aside from all of the other thousands of reasons I trust her around my stuff, there is the fact that if someone living in the same room as you took something of yours, they would have to store it in YOUR ROOM and you would notice. Don’t worry about your roommate ripping off your stuff. You will find that 99.9% of people are trustowrthy, and thinking otherwise or worring about the .01% would be a terrible way to live your life.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t leave a wad of cash sitting out in my room or anything, but I wouldn’t worry about him/her using your body wash in the shower or anything. I mean, my roommate and I always had certain things we could share.</p>
<p>I trust my roommate and everyone on my floor around my stuff–heck, we leave our door unlocked a lot of the time, even when we’re down the hall. Sure, this resulted in our our cereal being held hostage for a couple days, but that was all in fun retaliation for an earlier prank.</p>
<p>I let my roommate borrow stuff all the time. Black sweatpants when it was cold and he was reffing soccer, my metrocard when he needed to get to the airport, etc. And in turn, he lets me borrow his stuff too when I need to.</p>
<p>My roommate and I get along with each other really well, so no trust issues there. Other than, of course, the occasional “borrowing” of each others’ food, which isn’t a big deal.</p>
<p>Granted, not every roommate is that trustworthy, I still think it’s reasonable to trust your roommate. After all, he/she has no real incentive to **** you off, unless he/she natural just does: you’re going to live together for a year, or at least a semester, so you might as well make it the best for the both of you.</p>
<p>I think it’s great to build a good relationship with a roommate, lend each other stuff, get to know each other, etc.</p>
<p>My roommate freaked out when I used his body once or twice wash in the shower, so i stopped.</p>
<p>that’s wat’s great about being a big former football player; my roomates know if i catch them taking my stuff, they’ll get the crap kicked outta them. not that they would of course.</p>
<p>My roommate is my best friend. I trust him 100 percent. However, I’ve had a roommate I was given to by random. (school housing). well, this guy basically sleeps on my bed, takes my stuff, uses my computer, uses EVERYTHING like he owns it. I asked him why he’s doing that, he says something about we are bros or something. I got ****ed so next semester, I moved out of the dorm and went to my best pal to rent an apartment together</p>
<p>I trust my roommate definitely. I mean, like someone said, don’t leave a wad of cash lying around, that’s tempting for anyone. But other than that, yeah, they should be pretty trustworthy.</p>
<p>My room-mates are probably wealthier than I, so I don’t see why they would have an incentive to take my things.</p>
<p>I don’t have a room mate. I currently live a home and I do trust my parents.</p>
<p>My roommate and I are the same size so we borrow each other’s clothes and shoes all the time. I don’t mind if I come home and find a couple of shirts missing or something. Our rule is just that whatever we wear of each other’s, we wash and put back. I trust her 100% with my things, though. I know she would never steal my jewelry or computer or something. I mean, we go to the same university, so I have faith that have high enough standards to not admit thieves and liars. Besides, my university has an honor code and a zero tolerance policy and stealing equals automatic and immediate expulsion. ;)</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t trust my roommate. She (or her friends) has taken food from my closet to snack on and then made a mess of it on our carpet. When her own computer had to be sent in for repairs she started using mine without asking me, so I had to set up a password. I’d set up something (like a shelving unit, for example) on my side of the room and she’d decide that she didn’t like it so she’d move it around. It’s all stuff that wouldn’t have been big deals if she’d only talked to me first, but she just went ahead. </p>
<p>I’ve talked to friends of hers in the hall who say that she borrows their clothes without asking and then will deny that she’s taken them. Luckily she’s tinier than me so I don’t have to worry about that, lol. Currently, I’m missing two DVD’s, and while I’d like to believe her when she said she hasn’t seen them, I can’t say I do 100%. But I’m in the minority on my floor, most of the girls get along pretty well.</p>
<p>^Ah! That’s horrible! Hopefully that doesn’t happen to me.</p>
<p>My roommate and I have become really good friends, but its important to remember that even if your roommate is your friend, there needs to be certain boundaries because you live together. For example, when I am in the same room as any of my close friends, and they are on the phone or computer, I will usually ask who they are talking to. But with my roommate I try to respect the fact that this is her living area and even though she would be fine telling me what she’s doing, everyone needs private chill time. Also, if my roommate wasn’t my roommate, I would definitely feel okay borrowing her food or belongings without really asking - just a heads-up works among my good friends. But I always ask her before using something. We usually share food but if she bought something I always ask her before I eat it. The boundaries we have makes living together smoother, which is good for our friendship.</p>

<p>Yeah, even though I know he’s going to say “yes,” I always ask before going under his bed for some easymac or cookies, and I let him know when I need to borrow his calc book or calculator or whatever. With “private chill time” we usually can pick things up without directly asking. Like when his girlfriend is in the room usually it doesn’t matter when they’re just talking, but once they drop their voices I just pick up my stuff and leave without a word–sometimes just a nod or a “I’ll be back.” If I hear him on the phone I usually just leave too. He does the same when he senses I’m having a private conversation. We’re both pretty good at taking hints or getting vibes from each other.</p>
<p>Thanks for your guys’ replies. :)</p>
