Sharing your living space with a roommate is a great life experience. Being alone is boring, and before you get into a serious relationship or start planning a family, you will certainly want to live with a friend\u00a0or a colleague from college. There are many appealing sides to living with someone, however it isn\u2019t always sunshine and rainbows. There are certain you fails you will experience and have to go through and some of them may be caused directly by your flatmate.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1. When you figure out your roommate ate most of the food your mum prepared for you<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We all had this one. You are in college and you are getting tired of eating food at the cafeteria. Your mom decides to help you out by sending a package of homemade food she prepared just the way you like it. You come back from a lecture and find the empty box of food on the table while your roommate is watching TV. Is there anything else to say?<\/span><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/when-you-eat-your-friends-food_o_593626.gif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"wp-image-7564\" src=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/when-you-eat-your-friends-food_o_593626.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2. When your roommate parties all the time<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Partying is a normal thing, especially when you share your living space with other people. It can be fun to do random crazy stuff with your roommates, however when you know you have to get up early in the morning and your roommate is keeping you up all night, partying with his friends, then you have to change certain things.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image_2021-11-10_205958.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"wp-image-7566\" src=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image_2021-11-10_205958.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image_2021-11-10_205958.png 600w, https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image_2021-11-10_205958-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">3.

Those people that try to fix things even when they know they aren\u2019t broken. You tell them not to touch it and they still go ahead and break them.

You enter your apartment and suddenly there is a huge wave of terror coming at you. No matter if it\u2019s fish, meat or anything else, it certainly isn\u2019t a pleasant smell. You tell your roomie that he should throw that stuff out but he (or she) is too depressed, crying about their ex.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1439622357597354023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"345\" class=\"wp-image-5547\" src=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1439622357597354023.jpg\" alt=\"1439622357597354023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1439622357597354023.jpg 400w, https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1439622357597354023-300x259.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>5.
