How to be an adorable roommate

Pic unrelated. I thought you'd enjoy a picture of my cute niece!

Here are a few things that I appreciate from a roommate:
  1. Sleep and let sleep - If you're asleep, there's a very slim chance that you'd piss off anybody. Assuming your snoring doesn't wake up the whole building, then you're fine. If your roommate is sleeping, she won't notice you and won't hate you for whatever stupid thing you're doing... so make sure you don't disturb her sleep.
  2. Keep your mess to yourself (Clean up) - Keep your things neat. If you can't help but be a slob, then make sure your things don't overflow onto the common areas. Best place to keep your mess is under your bed.
  3. Smell nice - Some people like their things messy, it keeps them relaxed. You'd have problems with a neat-freak but she'd probably tolerate it if you follow Rule#2 and if you and your stuff don't stink. You'd be surprised at how an old, decent pair of shoes can make the whole room smell like 3-day unwashed bodies. Your stuff stink because there's bacteria (accept it), so spray Lysol or whatever sweet smelling anti-bacterial sprays you have (BUY ONE if you don't) at least once a day.
  4. Set/keep a bathroom schedule - You wouldn't want to be late for work/school, and neither does your roommate. Ask your roommate when she needs to use the bathroom and settle a schedule. Keep that schedule. Fu*k you if you're the type who says you go 6-6:30am but instead go in at 6:50-7:20, eating up my 6:30-7am schedule.
