Very Adequate Roommates

If you’ve ever lived with roommates, you understand how much they can affect your life. A bad roommate can create chaos and wreak havoc on an otherwise put-together situation.

I lived with someone who loved to drink beer in the shower, and also loved throwing the cans away in the same place. The same roommate once tackled me into a dresser for turning on a light in the morning while I got ready for class. I know bad roommates when I see them.

A bad roommate eats your food when he’s drunk, takes long, hot showers, doesn’t pay rent and locks the door when he has the only set of keys. A good roommate dusts and vacuums weekly, is quiet whenever needed and pays all the bills every month.

A very adequate roommate, on the other hand, isn’t as great. While it would be nit-picking to find their faults, they also don’t offer much.

A very adequate roommate takes an average amount of time to get ready in the morning. He or she locks the bathroom door when in use and turns off the tv when not in use. They pay for exactly half the rent, and give you short rides in their car when needed.

Such roommates are hard to find. If you’ve never found one yourself, I would like to leave you with a quote from the comedian Sarah Silverman: “If you have terrible luck with roommates, you’re the terrible roommate.” Try to be more adequate next time.
