Photos That Remind As How Evil Roommates Can Be, And That We Should All Just Agree To Live On Our Own

Funny June 1, 2023

Roommates: you can't live with them, and you sure as heck can live without them. But for some reason, we keep doing it. People will keep roommates as they grow older to keep rent costs down, but most of us get our first roommates during college. It's during this time that you learn a lot about yourself, and about how much you hate other people.

Hopefully, these photos don't bring up too many bad memories. If anything, they might make you feel a little bit better about your own roommate situation. Seriously, at least your roomie doesn't build a fake shrine to Princess Diana in your room. Or they may just prove what you suspected: that your roommate is the devil reincarnated and was sent to you as a test of faith.

Don't Room With A Teacher

Teachers are supposed to be friendly, organized, and understanding. In theory, they're the ideal roommates. But this note shows how they can use those traits in the worst way possible.

It looks like Matt is going to have to run his passive-aggressive notes through spell-check before sending them to his roomie.

The Time And Effort It Took Could Have Been Used Washing The Dishes

What kind of person will go to the effort to snap a picture of a clean sink, print out a high-definition color poster of it, and use it to cover the dishes instead of doing them? That seems like way more work than just washing them up.

The number one rule of having roommates is that being petty is more important than any household chore.

I Blame AT&T

You think you know someone until you live with them and see them every single day. This guy probably thought that his buddy would be pretty chill. He definitely didn't know the new roomie had anger issues.

Note to self: always shell out the extra few dollars on a good Internet connection, so I don't get punched in the face. We've all had some fun joking with roommates, but one guy coming up took blocking his roommate's date to a whole new level.

When You Find Your Roomies Subtweets And Print Them Out Of Spite

This girl found all the mean subtweets about her and decided to call her roomie out on it in the best way possible. I'm feeling second-hand embarrassment.

Twitter used to be a safe place where you wouldn't get caught subtweeting your roommate. Now, everyone follows everyone else, so don't even try.

The Only Way To Get Millennials To Clean

It's hard enough to get millennials to look away from their phone long enough to notice the mess around them. This person figured out how to get their roomies to help clean the place before move-out day.

I love this idea, but at the same time, I hate myself for not thinking of it first.

The Perfect Way To Make Sure Your Roomie Doesn't Get Laid

Roommate pranks are usually harmless, but this one took it way too far. It may not seem like a dangerous prank, but just imagine what Thom's date is going to say when they see that. If this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.

The only people who love Princess Di that much are British grandmothers. If you thought there was only one wrong way for the toilet paper to go, then you're in for a surprise when you see what this petty roommate did.

Notes Are So Last Year. Start Turning Your Roomies Mess Into An Art Exhibit

Leaving passive-aggressive sticky notes everywhere to call out your roommate on their flaws is a thing of the past. This guy leveled up and created a fake art exhibit of all the trash laying around their apartment.

Exhibit items include the "cheese knife" above, a pile of boxes on the couch, and even a spoon covered in sour cream priced at only $3,400.

Taking Petty To The Next Level

Coming from a petty person, I could never be this petty. This person's roommate was leaving notes around the house to clean, so they decided to go ahead and create their own little message.

There is nothing my roommate could do that would make me play with their hair on the shower wall. I gag just cleaning out my hair from the drain.

That's One Way To End The Toilet Paper Debate

This person told their roommate that they were putting the toilet paper roll on the wrong way, and came back to this. I'm sorry, but what kind of psychopath would do this? Not only are you just being petty AF, but you're sacrificing your own toilet paper experience just to make your roommate mad.

Would you rather know about every time your roommate had sex, or never know at all, and risk it being all over your stuff? Well, one guy coming up made that decision easy for his roomie.

That's Why The House Smells Like Grease

I love to grab a greasy burger on a Saturday night at 3 AM, but this is ridiculous. Judging by the number of cups, this roomie had at least twenty-five meals and didn't clean up a single one.

At least you know this roomie won't steal any of your food, because they probably don't even know where the kitchen is.

One Day We Will Live In A Nation Where Everyone Does Their Own Dishes

I would argue that dishes is the number one issue between roommates. Unless you're blessed to have an apartment with a dishwasher, you're doomed to argue about who has dirty dishes for the rest of your life.

I've even lived with people who will do their dishes but leave one fork in the sink if they think it's not theirs.

Someone Didn't Listen When Mom Gave Them The Dishwasher Lesson

You never know how capable a roommate is until you've already signed the lease. Some roomies are fully-functioning human beings that know how to work a vacuum or run the dishwashers.

Others grew up sheltered and never had to touch a dish in their life, so they think dish soap is the same as dishwasher soap, and it all goes downhill from there.

That Shampoo Is Definitely Not Tear-Free

At least you know your drunk roomie made it home the night before when you find a bottle of Sriracha in the shower. Were they trying to add a little heat to their shower time?

Whatever it was, make sure to avoid getting it in your eyes. It would hurt just as much as L'Oreal's "No Tears" shampoo.

The Perfect Surprise After A Long Day

The hardest part about a bunch of girls living together is that none of them can kill the bugs. Unless there is one rough and tough spider killer in the group, their apartment is destined to become a bug hotel.

It's like the spiders know where the weak ones live and they prey on them.

That Roommate That Never Cooks Or Cleans

I don't know if this is better or worse than the roommate who knows how to cook but refuses to do their dishes. I'd be totally fine with my roomie eating pizza for every meal if they just recycled the boxes as they go.

This person might be the final form of the guy whose room was filled with McDonald's.

Might Be Time To Hand In Your Notice And Run

Sometimes the worst roomies are the ones you'd never suspect. I bet this girl is super clean, keeps to herself, and is an ideal roommate. Until she, you know, tries to hang your stuffed animal.

Next thing you know, she'll have a real-life Princess Diana shrine and you'll come home to her in the middle of a blood sacrifice.

Anyone Who Eats Pizza Like This Is The Devil's Spawn

There is no excuse for disrespecting a slice of pizza like this. I don't care if it was a prank. This is no way to treat something that has done so much good in life.

If someone did this to me, I'd one-up their pranks and start cutting triangle slices out of things they love. Oh, your favorite shirt? Slice a triangle cut out of the middle. There goes another slice.

Practicing For A Future Of Dad Jokes

This is one of those jokes that is harmless if done at the right time. But if I opened this fart pot up after a long day of work, then it's the joke to end a roomie relationship.

If you're a prankster, then be careful when you execute your jokes. It could be a make or break situation.

At Least They Paid

Regardless of how annoying they are to live with, the most important trait of a roommate is one that pays rent on time!

This particular roommate doesn't pay by check or Venmo. They leave messages with their money instead.

Your Roommate Is A Trash Panda

You think you know someone right?

You've been living with them for months, you’ve shared meals with them, had some great times, then they leave their door open one day and realize that you’ve actually been living with Oscar The Grouch.

Late Night Lunchable Thief

This person's roommate, who is basically the equivalent to He Who Shall Not Be Named, opened all of their lunchables so they could eat the cookies.

Then they put the rest back in the fridge.
