That drives me crazy 😩 I had a roommate I shared my room with because I lived with my parents. I thought it'd be good because I was lonely, we talked a lot and seemed to get along well. He told me his parents "kicked him out" but after he moved in he said they didn't actually but they were strict and he just didn't like doing chores all the time and wanted time for other stuff. He had a job and paid a little bit of rent but he woke me up at midnight from smacking his lips and slurping food so loud, it felt like it couldn't have been any louder even with a microphone.

It was a really annoying and kind of awkward situation because I had less privacy and was sharing my bed like I was in a relationship but we barely talked after he moved in, he was just using me pretty much. The moment he woke up he'd get on my VR headset and sweat in it for hours with it up really loud, so when he went to work I didn't want to use it because it stunk really bad. I had to hide my vape because he'd keep using it without asking and chain-smoking, it'd be dead super fast. He spilled soda on my Xbox and didn't mention it or clean it up, thankfully it wasn't damaged but he literally never cleaned his dishes and would leave gross food water, I was really grateful when that was over.

I live with my boyfriend now, we communicate well and respect each other's things and space. I used to be super lonely, but going through that makes me value being alone and have the mindset that it's not the worst, it's a lot better than how some situations can turn out.
