In Hell Everyone Has A Roommate

Let's face it devoted reader, in today's day and age times are tough and money is hard. Often times good hard working folks like you and me are forced to tighten our budgetary belts and make financial sacrifices in order to survive.
With that thought in mind many folks choose to share a living space with a roommate.
Being that I have at one time or another been a poor struggling 20-something myself, I've had my fair share of roommates. Allow me to highlight some of the pros and cons of sharing your home with a roommate:

CONS:
  • One of the roommates will undoubtedly be horrible with money, lose their job, or have a gambling addiction. This will resulting in someone (aka you) having to pick up the slack in order to cover their basic bills so the power won't be shut off.
  • One roommate will always be cleaner than the other. This mean that one person is always going to be doing the cleaning housework all the while resenting their roommate's slob-like ways.
  • No matter what time of day it is you will never be able to get to the living room TV first. You will have to chose between watching whatever God awful show your roommate is watching in the living room or hiding out in your bedroom to watch what you want uncomfortably on your bed.
  • You will never be able to walk out the front door without be grilled about where you're going, when you'll be back, or if you want some company.
  • As soon as you walk into the kitchen and open the refrigerator your roommate will no doubt join you in the kitchen and get in your way as you're trying to prepare a meal or snack.
  • When your roommate is trying to sleep you will always have the TV up too loud. This works the other way too, because when you're trying to sleep your roommate will also have the TV volume up too loud for you to find your peace.
  • Your roommate will always leave his/her clothes in the dryer for days and days forcing you to remove them yourself so you can put your own wet laundry in to dry.
  • Your food and drinks will mysteriously disappear from the fridge or cupboard.
  • If you bring a guy or gal home you can always count on adding a third to your party once you arrive because your roommate will always be up, in the living room and ready to talk your date's ear off.
  • No matter the time of day, if you want to take a shower, your roommate will make it to the bathroom before you. Then you have to wait...and get cold water.
PROS:
  • If a killer sneaks into your house in the middle of the night you might get lucky and kill your roommate first.
