Minor annoyances/why I hate roomates

don't get me wrong. the roomie I have now is by far the best (compared to a meth dealer and then the mooching gay couple)... but there are just some things he does that annoy the CRAP out of me.
First off, he's from trinidad, and lived there the first 25 years of his life. Well, he didn't have much money and there and so he has some weird habits... like you know how you can never fully fill a trash bag while it's still in the container? well he sits the trash in bag in the floor until it's absolutely COMPLETELY full. doesn't matter if he shelled shrimp 4 days ago and the rotting nastiness is at the bottom of the bag, he HAS to fill it full. how much are trash bags? a fucking nickel a piece? omg, it's SO gross, and he's like "why are you wasting the trash bags?' when I take them out to the curb. I've told him a hundred times that it's gross to leave trash sitting in the floor, but he's all about saving 75 cents in a year. and he makes fucking bank too, not like he HAS to conserve. Like, he left the island to live a better quality of life, yet he's still living the sme way? doesn't make sense to me.
Then he drinks all my bottled water. not like I care about the money, I mean a case of water is what? $5? it's just he has his whole stash of bottled water in his bedroom for his machine he has to wear at night for sleep aptnea that I'm not allowed to drink, but he can drink all my water? wtf? and anytime I buy beer he drinks it all. I have two nights off week since I work two jobs, and I'll be damned if he doesn't drink all my beer when I'm working. he's always like "i feel so lonely when I'm home alone so I just want to drink, and all there was in the fridge was your beer".
Then there's this whole weird thing he has where he thinks we're like married or something. like the way I see it is every man for himself when it comes to dinner. if I stop and get something I'm not going to make sure he's set for the evening. I'm not his momma and I'm not his spouse. so when I come home with something to eat he always wants to whine about how I didn't ask him... and he goes out to eat and buys enough for two and then tries to make me feel guilty. like he'll just show up home with all this food and say "I thought about you, even though you never think about me, aren;t i a good guy?" and sometimes I do call him just so I don't have to hear him whine like a 12 year old girl and he'll decline the offer... then like once I get there he'll be like "why didn't you at least get a little extra for me? you knew i'd want some as soon as i saw how good it is..." WTF? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
and this is the last thing I'll bitch about. he uses my bathroom. like he has this weird fetish about using it. Now, in my bedroom all i have is a toilet and sink crammed in a little bitty space, which I have a sneaky suspicion was actually meant to be a small linen closet or something and the people before us just turned it into a bathroom. anyway, I hardly even use the toilet in here... only during "emergency" waking up at 3am having to piss or like having to puke the few times I had hangovers. but I can tell he uses my bathroom. which makes NO SENSe cuz the nicest bathroom in the whole house id the master bath, off of his master bedroom... then there's a hall bathroom. like tonight I came home and my fucking seat was up in my bathroom. WTF?
anyway. this is why i hate living with other people.

That sounds mental. Just lay it out for him: If you say you don't want food I will not buy you food. If I can't drink your water, you cannot drink mine. Trash Bag < Household Pleasantness - if he's concerned about wasting a trash bag then why isn't he concerned about wasting your money when he drinks your beer and water? And tell him that no, he isn't a good guy for trying to play a guilt trip on you with that food stuff. And put something that makes his skin burn on the toilet seat.

Nah remove the light bulb and put a bear trap in there
Lol, id try setting him straight. If hes cool he'll understand. The toilet things the weirdest, beer and water thing is stupid and the foods understandable but not the whining about it. It sucks but you could always hide you beer

I'm glad I've never had roommates. Hopefully I never will. Hiding your things is an idea, but it shouldn't be something you have to do because some asshole thinks everything that is yours and his is his.

My roommates use my bathroom because they are too cheap to buy toilet paper!
Before they just used to steal my toilet paper, but now I keep it in my room. Arrrg.
I am also the only one who buys laundry soap, butter, mayo, ketchup, mustard, paper towels, dish soap, salt, pepper, cleaning supplies, propane (for the bbq)..and the list goes on.
Oh and if they do break down and buy one of these items, it's the smallest bottle. Why bother buying ketchup if you are only buying the picnic size?

I used to be in this exact same position, but then I just stopped buying them. I realized that I don't desperately need salt and pepper for that many things, so I just ate slightly less delicious food for a week or so. When my roommates got sick of drinking tea with no milk and sugar, having no cereal or milk, and couldn't find any more of my food to eat (locked in the closet bitches!!) they started purchasing their own stuff. Now that they've realized things don't magically replenish themselves they're a little more conscious of when food is running low.

That shit sounds annoying. Id buy a lock for the bathroom if i were you. Mayby try to find a cheap/free used mini fridge for beer. Make it clear that you want more privacy.

I just got home from a week long business trip...
1. Clean dishes from when I left are still in the dishwasher 2. Kitchen looks like a bomb went off: dishes every where, rotten food in sink and crap all over the floor 3. There are 3 bags of full garbage beside the front door waiting to be taken out 4. All my toilet paper and paper towel is gone 5. No one took the recycle out 6. Warning letter from Strata about the roommates mess in the carport 7. Living room equally messy from a poker party? 8. All the roaches from ash tray in my room have disappeared 9. Batteries from my bedroom tv remote are missing
This is just the beginning....anyone wanna be my new roommate?

My roomate used to leave so much trash around that one time I collected it all and put it infront of his door blockading him in his own filth.

I'm getting pretty fucked off with mine too. All up there are eight of us in one house, and eight people generate a shit-load of mess. The things is I'm one of only three who've been fulfilling our cleaning duties. The rest of the lazy bastards all use the excuse that all the other lazy bastards don't clean so why should they? Well fuck I'm cleaning why shouldn't you? The worst thing about it is that some of them get really defensive and arrogant when politely reminded to pull their weight.

I cant believe you dont have a housefund. In my house, the housefund 10-20 dollars per person, + 20 bucks from shows we put on.. goes to everything from: toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, cleaning supplies, spices, oils, light bulbs, etc.
We're very communal though, always share food and help each other out.

in my place we just both just buy the stuff the house needs. if it's starting to smell, i'll buy some air fresheners. if we're running out of detergent, my roommate will pick some up. if we either of us makes a substantial purchase for the house, like $20 or more, then we just split it down the middle.
sucks for you people rooming with greedy assholes who take what isn't theirs.
