Living with a bad roommate is something you can't fully get until you go through it. After a year of dealing with a selfish 20-year-old, the Redditor (OP) and her girlfriend have had enough and are moving out when the lease ends.
Let's talk about the annoying habits that made them decide to bail. This messy roommate never cleans up after herself and conveniently forgets to buy groceries, but she has no problem helping herself to the OP's food.
But wait, there's more. This roommate once let mold grow on her dirty dishes because she didn't want to wash them. She also often brings unannounced guests to the shared room.
The latest drama involved the roommate's new partner taking the OP's keyboard in her room without permission.
Brushing off these annoyances, the OP cooked dinner for herself and her girlfriend, only making enough for the two of them. Little did she know this would stir up even more roommate trouble. Stay tuned to see how this living nightmare unfolds!
