So for all of you who live with other people at school, what is it about them you can't stand the most.

For me, my roomate is a huge fan of the various more extreme form of metal music. I cannot for the life of me stand to listen that kind of music. Almost no melody to it at all, not to mention the fact I can't even understand the lyrics.

And he plays it 24/7.

Uhgg!

i'm not in college but i've had someone sleep in the same room as me and the one thing that annoys is the whistling snore.

When I went to college, my two roommates were lazy. We agreed to share the chores, and I offered to do the bathroom every week so they wouldn't have to. All they had to do was vacuum twice a week for a total of 5 minutes out of their life per week per person. They wouldn't vacuum, and when I became tired of this and told them I wasn't their mommy and wondered if I was expected to wipe their noses for them as well, they got mad at me. It wasn't a big deal for me to give 10 minutes per week to do it myself, but I had a real problem cleaning up after two grown men.

When I was in college, my roommate did one thing that really annoyed me. He would use the same towel over and over to dry off after he showered. He would never wash the thing and it would end up stinking the bathroom. I would ask him to wash it and he would get insulted.

As of right now, the only thing i can think of is her talking on her cell phone or the room phone and she talks really loud.

my apartment mates play video games 24/7 but the guy in the room next to me thinks its ok to put his "team speak" video game teleconfrence program on his big sound system so the walls shake whenever one of his WoW nerd friends says anythying.

I never talked to my suitemate (we shared a bathroom). Later I found out he had told
someone he had a bad suitemate. For the simple reason I found it hard to talk to him.
The strange thing is we had a common friend that I could talk to. I think I never got
comfortable enough to talk to my suitemate. I seemed very out going at times so he must have thought I was a real a$$ for not talking to him. Oh it did not help that he was super shy himself.
