Being the perfect roommate could be as tough as trying to shut a revolving door; it is just that impossible. Everyone has pet peeves, some you may not be able to imagine. Do you ever wonder if your roommate has secret pet peeves that they have been hiding from you? Below is what Ashland University students seem to be hiding from their roommates.

Don’t touch my stuff! – New roommates tend to say, “What is mine is yours.” Half of the time, they are just being really friendly. They really don’t want you to touch their stuff, but they just don’t want you to think that they are mean.

“This roommate I had used everything of mine!” junior Jess Mann said. “Not only would she use it, but she would leave it out and not even put it away.”

What happened to all the food? – People always buy food for their room and say they will share it with one another, but sharing does not mean eat all of it.

“I would buy a full load of groceries, and the next day half of them would be gone,” junior The- resa Lattner said.

Clean up already. – Room- mates may say, “It’s fine if your side is messy; just don’t make my side messy,” but most of the time they really mean, “Pick up your stuff or we might have problems.”

“I always tell my roommate I don’t mind if her side is dirty or I don’t mind picking up after her,” freshman Olivia Ciocca said. “But actually it drives me insane!”

Why are you always so loud!? – Typically, roommates do not want to seem like the type who is always telling you to be quiet, so they’ll say it is okay that you are loud when they are doing homework, sleep- ing, or something else along those lines but really all they want is for you to stop talking.

“My old roommate would always get on his cell phone when everyone was going to bed,” junior Taylor Housewright said. “He would think he was talking really quiet, but really anyone around was able to hear his conversation.”

So does your boyfriend live with us? – The main thing you never want to get in a fight with your roommate about is their boyfriend or girlfriend. Your room- mate may say that it is okay that they are always around, but there are times when they really need to go. “I feel like he lives with us; I wake up and he’s here, I go to bed and he is still here, I walk out of the shower and what do you know, he is right there,” junior Courtney Carper said.

There are many other pet peeves out there, but the ones above are what AU students have experienced. Want to know how you can avoid any of these or even other situations? The best way is to be honest with your roommate if something bothers you. “If this doesn’t seem to work, the things that are most important to you, just simply hide from them!” Lattner said.
