If you have ever stayed with someone, you KNOW it is a wild ride. It feels like signing your name to some social experiment, except nobody gave you the proper manual. One minute, you're bonding over pizza and Netflix, and the next minute, you're throwing passive-aggressive side-eyes over a mysteriously "borrowed" hoodie that somehow went MIA. We've all lived through the great saga of "Who left the bathroom light on?" or "Whose laundry is this in the dryer for the third consecutive day?" It's chaos, a circus of everyone trying their best not to actually kill each other.

But hey, it's all worth it in the end… kind of. Because no matter how messy, annoying, or just downright strange things get, you know you will laugh about it eventually— mostly in the form of memes that hit just a little too close to home.

Your roommate could’ve just used words like a regular person, only if they were a regular person.

The stove is broken, so clearly the washing machine is the next best option.


Let's be real: living with roommates is like trying to manage a sitcom sans script— there's confusion, chaos, and at least one who "forgot" to pay the rent. You are, however, in this together— whether you like it or not.
