1. When You Live With Someone Who Doesn't Know How To Open Things Properly
When you live with someone, it is hard to have everything done your way. Sometimes you have to make compromises, like this man. For some unknown reason, his wife tears a hole into everything she opens like a savage. There are openings on boxes for a reason, why not use them?
It seems like a dog bit their way into the food containers because they don't have opposable thumbs to open things, but this was the work of a human. This man should be careful that she doesn't pass this habit onto their children.
2. My Roommate Decided To Hang The Shelf Completely Off Center
This person asked their wife to hang the shelf in the center of the wall. It shouldn't have been a difficult task because they had the picture as a guide to see where the middle was. However, she must have gotten the center of the wall and the center of the couch confused.
The OCD in us is going crazy seeing this off-centered shelf under the perfectly hung pictures. How do you not notice that something is very off as you hang this think up? It is clearly not in the right spot, but she must have been so proud that she hung it on her own.
3. There Are Two Types Of People In The World
We all know that one person who uses toothpaste and leaves the tube messy and disgusting. This man has resorted to hiding a clean tube from the rest of his family because they don't keep theirs clean. If they knew about this secret, they would try to use it.
It is like the rest of his family murdered the toothpaste while he nurtures and takes care of his secret stash. When you have to share things with your family, and you can't expect it to be clean all the time, you might as well buy your own toothpaste and hide it.
4. Whoever Cuts A Cake Like This Is Being Kicked Out Of The House
This person lost one of their loved ones today. They don't know who it is, but once they find out who cut the cake like this, that person will be removed from the family. Why is it so hard to cut the cake in an orderly fashion?
Circle cakes are supposed to be cut into triangle pieces, not square pieces. This person was living by their own rules, and they left the cheesecake completely messed up. At least this is a fixable mistake, and you can eat your way back to a perfectly formed cake.
5. When Your Roommate Refuses To Get Rid Of The Pumpkin From Last Halloween
People love to use real pumpkins to decorate for fall, but then the pumpkins rot, and they have to be thrown away. This person's roommate decided to leave their Halloween pumpkin until it turned into a liquid mess. Have you ever seen a pumpkin rot so much that it basically disintegrated?
If these people rent, they are definitely not getting their security deposits back. Can you guess how old this pumpkin might be? It took us a while to figure out it was a pumpkin in the first place. That thing must smell horrible.
6. Someone Took Bites Of Each Strawberry And Put Them Back
Just as you are getting ready to grab a few refreshing strawberries as a snack, you find this in the refrigerator. Someone in the house had the nerve to bite each strawberry and then put them back in the container half-eaten. This person has no common decency, and they should be banned from the fridge.
The person must have been looking for the perfect sweet strawberry, but only got sour ones. This looks like the work of a small child, but you can never be too sure it wasn't an adult. It's best to start hiding the strawberries from now on.
7. My Wife Refuses To Throw Out The Used Shampoo And Body Wash Bottles
There are people in this world who will buy new soap before the old ones are finished, but they won't throw the old bottles away. Over time, this process starts to add up to a soap bottle collection like the one seen here. This is what we call the beginning stages of a hoarder.
That is a lot of soap left unused. Some bottles are half-full still, but the person probably saw something new and exciting at the store and had to use it right away. One day you have one type of shampoo, and the next, you have a collection of wasted plastic around your tub.
8. Were They Eating The Toothbrush?
This person seems like they are very angry with their teeth to be brushing so hard. On the bright side, you know they have fresh breath because they are seriously scrubbing their mouth.
At what point does this person come to their senses and replace the toothbrush? That seems like an important thing to do when they have made it almost unusable. We hope they get regular checkups at the dentist.
9. What Kind Of Person Leaves A Bite Of Ice Cream In The Container?
Instead of eating the last bite of food, this person chose to put the ice cream back in the fridge. Then, someone went looking for a bowl of ice cream, and all they found was this basically empty container. That has to be the most disappointing feeling of all time.
If you ever live with someone who does this, just know that they are a soulless monster. This is the work of a quitter because they were too weak to eat the last of it. How can you give up with one small bite left?
10. My Roommate Made Pasta And Then Leaves For Vacation Without Cleaning Up
This person's roommate made a pasta dish and then left for vacation. They must have been in a rush to get to the airport, considering they had no time to clean up the food. Who makes an elaborate meal and leaves it out on the stove?
If we lived with this person, we would have taken the moldy food and put it in their room to clean when they came back. This is like a biohazardous mess that needs to be thrown into a fire.
11. This Man Decided To Start A War With His Wife Over The Dog Bowls
Although the bowls are clearly labeled "food" and "water," this person went against the rules of society and put the food in the water bowl. While their dog can't read, it is still irritating to look at this. The man wanted to start a fight with his wife just to piss her off for his own enjoyment.
We don't know what point this man is trying to prove, but it is such a passive-aggressive way to deal with things. Maybe she is slightly obsessive about putting stuff in the labeled containers, so he just wanted to mess with her. Whatever his reasoning, it seems like it would annoy most people.
12. Why Use Containers When You Could Put The Pots Right In The Fridge?
These people only have two pots in their apartment. Instead of putting leftovers in containers, one roommate puts the pots right in the fridge. If anyone else needs to cook something, well, they are out of luck because the cooking equipment is being used to hold leftovers.
It is one thing if you have extra pots and pans to spare, but to hog the only two cooking vessels is just rude. This also takes up much more space in the fridge, which could be used for storing more groceries and such.
13. Clean Vs. Messy Roommates
Living in college dorms is such a strange experience. You are forced to share a room with a stranger you have never met, and you don't know how they live. In this case, one person got stuck with someone who does not clean up and leaves their side of the room in disarray.
Having to share a small dorm room with someone who doesn't care about their things is horrible because you end up cleaning up after this person. Plus, you never know what you could find under all that mess on the other side.
14. My Roommate Never Puts The Lids Back On Any Containers
This person has a bad habit of opening up containers and then not thoroughly screwing the lids back on. This is how things get spoiled fast, and then you end up wasting money. It takes an extra second to put the top on properly, so they must always be running out the door.
While they may be able to live with this, for now, years later, during a fight, this will be the breaking point in their relationship. One day everything will be fine, and then someone will scream, "Why can't you screw the lids back on, Bridgette?? I'm leaving!"
15. The Potato Was In The Cabinet For So Long That It Sprouted
Someone in this home isn't the biggest fan of hygiene. They left their potato in the cupboard for so long that it started to grow. The roommate who found it should put it in soil and see what starts to grow; it could be interesting since the roots were feeding off the Marmite.
While they are in there, this person should clean out the cabinet before it starts to attract some unwelcomed friends. We would rather clean up after people than have to deal with bugs in our home.
16. Who Opens Bread Like This?
What kind of monster rips into the middle of a bread bag instead of opening it from the top? There is a place to open and close the bag easily, but this person dove right into the middle. Now the bread won't stay fresh for long because it can't be sealed again with this hole.
Did this person never learn how to open bags properly? Were they taught to tear into things like a wreckless monster? Sometimes living with people makes you question how they grew up and what their life was like before they moved out of their parent's home.
17. You Are Supposed To Break Off A Piece Of That Kit-Kat Bar
Not only does the Kit Kat jingle have clear instructions on how to break it off into pieces, but it is perforated into four sticks. Only the devil would think this was an acceptable way to eat a Kit Kat bar. Nothing about this is right.
This person is obviously a rule-breaker, and you shouldn't live with them because they aren't trustworthy. Yes, everyone has there own way of doing things, but where do we draw the line? Things are done in a specific way for a reason.
18. When You Ask Your Husband To Tidy Up The Shoes Only To Find This
This person was asked to tidy the shoes by the front door, and instead of putting the matching shoes together, they created a disorderly mess. If someone is rushing out the door, they are probably going to be wearing mismatching shoes.
The person probably did it this way just to piss off their flatmate, but who wants to trip over everyone's shoes as you walk in the front door? Is it so much to ask that people put their shoes away every once in a while? Why is that such a big request?
19. Electronics Are Better Than Plates
Instead of using a plate, this person prefers to put their food on electronics. Why dirty a dish when you could get crumbs all over your expensive phone and have to clean up an even bigger mess? The answer is obvious; there is no logic behind this strategy.
If you saw someone doing this, wouldn't it bother you? Why can't they use a plate or even a napkin instead of their phone? In these times, we would never eat anything off of our phones because they have so many germs on them, and then it gets on your food.
20. This Roommate Left Her Cat Scooper In The Sink
Living with a pet owner is all fun and games until they stop cleaning up after their animals. If it's not your animal, you do not want to deal with the dirty little scooper in the sink. We can only imagine what that smells like sitting out in the open, and it is sickness-inducing.
This has cat poop on it, and they left it somewhere that is used for food prep and cleaning. Wouldn't you be upset if your roommate did this? Where do people draw the line on what is acceptable roommate behavior, and what is too much?
21. Shower Wall Hair Art When Your Wife Won't Clean Up
Girls, this is something we all can admit to doing at some point in our lives. Everyone's hair comes out in the shower, and you don't want it to clog the drain, so you stick it on the shower wall to throw away when you are finished.
Sometimes we forget to remove the hair when getting out of the shower, and then the next person has to find it. Instead of making a big deal about it, this person created a detailed picture using the hair to send a message.
22. How This Person's Boyfriend Stores His Cables
We don't know how this person doesn't go crazy, but they have clearly given up trying to keep their cables organized. They don't care about their gaming systems thrown on top of the pile, either. This would drive us absolutely insane, and it would be nearly impossible to untangle this mess.
Next to one of the controllers is a toddler's shoe; do you think there is a small child stuck inside of this mess? If our boyfriend did this, we would be concerned about his sanity. Usually, people care about their expensive gaming systems and would never treat them like this.
23. Only A Demon Would Mix M&M's With Skittles
Mixing M&Ms and Skittles is a cruel and unusual prank. Someone would grab a handful hoping for a chocolatey or fruity mouthful, and they get a weird mix of the two. Who would be evil enough to think this is an acceptable thing to do?
If you live with a person who does this, we are so sorry for you. Unfortunately, they cannot be saved from their wicked ways. It's time to find somewhere else to live because this is not the kind of person who makes a good living partner.
24. Who Else Has Roommates That Grow Potato Monsters?
These lovely potatoes have been sitting in the same spot for a year, and the people refuse to throw away their potato monster. At first glance, this looks like a piece of corn in a haystack, but as you look closer, you can almost make out a potato among all those sprouts.
At some point, this thing is going to mutate and take over the world. We know who to blame when that happens because these people wouldn't destroy the monster. If we saw this while moving in, we would turn right around and put our things back on the moving truck.
25. When Your Girlfriend Refuses To Throw Away Empty Ketchup Bottles
We are not sure why this person holds on to all these ketchup bottles, but they are all pretty much empty, and the collection will only continue to grow. Also, who buys ketchup that often? We wonder what this person's diet consists of for them to use this much ketchup.
This is similar to the shampoo around the bathtub; once they buy a new one, they forget to use the last bit of the old bottle. Is it so hard to wash out an empty bottle and throw it in the recycling bin? Save the planet and stop holding onto all this wasted plastic.
26. When You Clean Out Your Room After A Few Months
Everyone knows the feeling of giving their room a thorough cleaning and throwing away a bunch of old junk. Most of the time, you will come out of the room with a collection of old water bottles and a lot of unexpected change. Some people don't mind having their nightstand covered in garbage.
Everyone is starting to realize that some people have problems throwing things away. If it were one or two water bottles, we would understand, but having a whole case of water on your table is a bit much. Every time they reach for something, they probably knock over half of those bottles.
27. Never Leave Your Wife In Charge Of Buying The Toilet Paper
This person gave their wife one job, and she messed up the most simple task. Who buys one-ply toilet paper? Why do they even make one-ply? You use half the roll, compensating for the thinness of it, and go through the pack much faster. It is more cost-efficient to buy the thicker paper.
This man was disappointed to find the paper he was left to wipe with and knew he would never send his wife to the store for this task again. If she bought it because she doesn't mind one-ply, this man should reevaluate the marriage because she is a monster.
28. Everyone Forgot That The Lint Trap Existed
If you didn't grow up using a dryer because you hung up your clothes in the sun, then it makes sense why you wouldn't realize the dryer has a lint trap. However, if this person neglected the lint because they assumed someone else would clean it, we have to question their intelligence.
Not only is this a huge fire hazard, but it also causes things to dry much slower. If they were wondering why their clothes take hours to dry, it is because no one was cleaning this horrifying mess. Never forget to clean your lint traps!
29. Who Uses Toothpaste And Leaves It Like This?
If you saw a tube of toothpaste like this, would you use it? This gives the clean freak inside of us the chills. How do they get that much toothpaste on the cap? Are they squeezing it out on purpose to make everything messier?
Most toddlers know how to squirt toothpaste without getting it all over the tube, so adults should know better. Maybe this person is trying to miss the toothbrush when they squeeze the tube; that would be the only logical explanation to this mess.
30. What Is A Trash Can?
Why put things in the trash bin, which is usually next to the toilet, when you could display your trash on the back on the toilet? This is just pure laziness, and we don't understand how people can live with garbage sitting all over the place.
Wouldn't you get mad at the person you live with if they did this instead of using a trash can? This person waited to see how long it would take their boyfriend to throw away his garbage, and after two weeks, he continued to pile things on the back of the toilet.
31. How To Get The Toy At The Bottom Of The Box
With a picture on the front of the box, it is easy to see where the top of the box is; however, this person was playing by their own rules. If you open the box like this, you are going to eat the small crumbs right away, and no one likes those.
Unless there was a toy at the bottom, we don't see why someone would open foods like this. It only makes it harder to keep the cereal fresh because the package doesn't reseal when it is upside down.
32. A "Friendly" Reminder That Someone Needs To Buy Milk
Have you ever lived with someone who refuses to throw away empty containers and puts them back in the fridge? It is the most irritating thing because it takes up space. Maybe they left it there to remind someone else to buy more milk, but it is just an annoying habit.
The type of people who do this are also the ones who drink straight from the jug of milk. On the bright side, they aren't leaving the milk on the counter, so that is something to be happy about, but they also could have just thrown the container away.
33. Instead Of Throwing The Egg Shells Away She Puts Them Back In The Carton
Unless this person is starting a compost, there is no reason to save the empty eggshells in the carton. This also seems like an easy way to get salmonella because the used shells have remnants of raw egg, and they are touching the fresh eggs.
Why is it so difficult for people to use trash cans? Is there something wrong with throwing things away after they are empty? For most people, it seems logical to throw things away, but there are monsters out there who would disagree.
34. This Is How You Know Someone Used Your Foil
We know that sometimes the foil doesn't always rip in a straight line, but wouldn't you try to make it even after? This person came home to find that their roommate hacked away at the foil roll, and they didn't understand how the person managed to make it so uneven.
It looks like the person was chewing on the foil like a dog because they ripped it in such an odd way. Like one-ply toilet paper, the thin foil makes it harder to rip an even line off, so the blame also lies with whoever bought the discount tinfoil.
35. Who Needs To Replace The Trash Bag When You Could Just Ruin The Bin?
This person's roommates take the trash out, but they never replace the bag. Instead of putting in a new bag, they throw the trash right in the empty bin. Not only does this attract bugs, but it just shows how lazy some people can be. On a positive note, at least they take out the trash.
Some people live with those who will let the trash overflow out of the bin before someone finally concedes and takes the trash out. There should be an unspoken rule if you take the trash out, you have to replace the bag because it is part of the whole process.
36. Dishwashers? What Are Those?
Some apartments don't come with dishwashers, so you have to hand wash everything, which can be annoying. When this person was sick, they stayed in their room to avoid infecting their roommates. After four days, they came out to find that their roommate hasn't washed a single dish in those four days.
This pile looks like it is attracting all kinds of bugs and rodents like an awaiting feast. It is hard to understand how people can let their dishes pile up to the point where they are overflowing out of the sink.
37. My Roommate Always Opens The Microwave Before It Ends
The beeping sound on the microwave is annoying to most people, so they will pull their food out early to avoid hearing the sound; however, most people remember to clear the time after removing their food. This person's wife always leaves the extra seconds that someone else deals with it later.
While it's not like the other gross habits of some people, it is still something that annoys people because their food starts to cook at the wrong time, or they have to clear it and then type in a new time.
38. How Some People Store Their DVDs
Today it is less common for people to have DVDs because of streaming services; some still enjoy keeping them around the house. This person shared how their parents store the DVDs, and you can imagine how many of these no longer work properly because they are scratched.
Not only does this scratch the discs, but it also makes it much harder to find the movie they are looking for. Unless you like your films skipping or pausing every few minutes, don't leave them out of their cases.
39. This Person Opens New Water Bottles And Never Finishes Them
This person complained that their girlfriend would open waters and only drink half of it before opening a new one. We are not sure why she is doing this, but it is wasting freshwater for no good reason.
Every time she doesn't finish a bottle, she should have to put a dollar in a jar to see how much bottles she wastes at the end of a month. Then her boyfriend can use the money to buy himself a present.
40. It's A Guessing Game To Find A Pistachio
It is like a guessing game to see who can find the unopened pistachio shell within this pile of half-eaten ones. This person must get really irritated when they have to dig through the shells to find another nut.
If you lived with someone who did this, wouldn't you just buy your own bag to avoid conflict? It is not a big problem, but some people would be annoyed that they had to search for their food.
