25 neighbors you wouldn’t wish on your enemy (26 photos)

Living with other people is more difficult than it seems. Even if they are your closest friends! If you live in the same apartment, friendship can be seriously tested. Passive-aggressive remarks, not washing the dishes after yourself, listening to loud music at a time when someone else needs silence... you can go on and on. The bad roommates subreddit Bad Roommates: Tales of Irritation is a treasure trove of stories like this.





1. “Before and after. My roommates were so terrible that I finally said “screw it” and got another place to live. It hurts my wallet, but my sanity is intact.”



2. “My neighbor refused to clean up, so I planted chia seeds in his shower.”





3. “The biggest mess I've ever met just moved out and left this behind.”



4. “I caught my neighbor stealing from my room and he moved out that night without telling anyone as soon as he realized he was caught.”



5. “My brother lives with us, this is his room”



6. “Did you think this was your worst neighbor? Think again!



7. “Her boyfriend moved in with our neighbor, and our hallway became an extension of their bedroom.”



8. “I can’t do this anymore.”



9. “I came back from vacation to find that my roommates never left and never cleaned up. 2.5 weeks ago I put everything in order here, how could it be so messy?”



10. "Never live with your 'best friend'"



11. “I was staying with my parents during the holidays and started getting notifications from the security camera in my bedroom. A half-naked man came into my room, into my bathroom, used my toilet, looked into my closet."



“It turned out to be Gabe, my flatmate’s fuck buddy. He freely comes into my room when I'm not at home. I am very upset by this violation of privacy. Am I overreacting?

12. “That’s why I keep my dishes in my room.”



13. “My neighbor left his kitchen sink and countertop like this for months.”



14. “The neighbor left, leaving behind some things.”



15. “I cooked dinner for both of us, and a little later in the evening I saw this note. She expects me to wash the dishes within an hour of cooking, even though she never cooks anything herself.”



“This is what she wrote: “Please, next time wash the dishes after cooking. Thank you!"

I'm thinking of leaving her a nice passive-aggressive response: "Of course! You're charged 22.50 per meal. Please pay in advance next time. Thank you!"

16. “The flatmates moved out without warning.”



17. “How do you like this?”



18. “My housemate still hasn’t gotten rid of his Halloween pumpkin.”



19. “I bought two bottles of liquor and told my neighbor thatoh I don't mind if she drinks a little. This is all that remains of the second (!) bottle"



20. “My flatmate got drunk and broke my door.”



21. “I’ve never had a worse neighbor than in college.”



22. “New flatmate did this to my kitchen countertop.”



23. “I told them a hundred times to put the trash in the trash can. They expect me to do it, even though I don't even eat pizza."



24. “In this state, my ex-best friend/neighbor left her part of the apartment after moving.”



25. “Living in the same apartment with a shoplifter undermines my mental health.”
