20 Wild Roommate Scenarios That Will Make You Think Twice Before Sharing a Home

Living with roommates isn't always flowers and camaraderie, as often some minor situations, lack of communication or respect for other's personal space, can evolve to enormous arguments.
Take, for instance, the experiences shared on social media where an insane roommate claimed the living room as their personal bedroom, even though the house has three bedrooms and only two people living in it.
Luckily, you probably won't relate to the stories being shared in this collection, but they'll definitely enrage you to the point of never wanting to live with a roommate ever again.
The roommate “claimed” the living room as their bedroom
"Finally got to have a look at the new place after they picked up the keys last week and they've already moved their bedroom into the living room. There are 3 bedrooms here and only two of us."

Pickle juice thief
"I don’t know why, but for some reason, my roommate has been drinking my pickle juice out of the jar. I don’t eat them that often, so I didn’t notice, but why? My s/o texted him and yeah. The audacity of some people is beyond comprehension."

How my last roommate left his room
"I rent out rooms in my house and this is how my last roommate left it after just moving out with no notice. Every single person I have shown this to has gasped and then, upon reflection, made fun of him for drinking natty ice."

Roommate has been using 25+ rolls of toilet paper per week -- any idea of what's going on?
"We have a new roommate (F) who moved in about a month ago for a short-term lease. Upon moving in, she asked other housemates to take her to shop for toilet paper. Right off the bat, she purchased 6 packs of toilet paper; each pack contains 9 rolls.
She puts the toilet paper packs in the bathroom. We have witnessed her going through almost 3 packs in a week, using an average of 25 rolls of toilet paper and quickly filling up our trash can. We even had clogged sewage once -- something that hasn't happened for a few years. The picture shows the current state of toilet paper usage.
Has anyone experienced this situation before? We can't figure out why a person would need to use this much toilet paper. It is very concerning and she will flush so much into the toilet, potentially causing any other sewage issues."
