How about a "my roommate is cool" thread?

[KingNothing]

Seems like all the roommate threads are negative, which is a shame. Roommate #2 (I have three) cleaned our suite today, *and* scored us an extra couch from the suite next to ours. All without being asked. It was basically Roomate #1's stuff that he put away, and he had expressed his displeasure with this roommate's messiness before, but he did not:

1) Threaten to do something to his computer
2) Threaten to do something to him
3) Leave his stuff all over the place as revenge

When I came home I was like "Dude, what happened?!" and he just said he had decided to clean the place before starting on his room. Kudos to him!

My [old] roommate is so cool!!! He works for a company called SportsMedia in Durham now and he gets luxury box tickets to the Canes every weekend...and he LOVES to share!!!

My roommate (the one that I share the room with, I have two more that live in the same apartment) is pretty cool. Our schedules are close enough to the same that we don't bother eachother getting up for class in the morning, etc. I don't want to get into some big long description, but we get along well and have a good time.

I HATE my old roommate. I am on break now, but next quarter I will be rooming with a friend of mine, so all should be better. My old roommate is the biggest loser I have ever met in my entire life. He left the dorms a whole 2 times except going to class and to eat. He also snored like a mofo and made all these weird ass noises at night that kept me awake, and he hated it when I had friends come in the room.

It takes me over a year to finish a book . I just had to let it out. But anywho, my roommate next quarter is very cool though. Two TV's, PS2, XBox, parties every night (or almost)...it'll be great.

My roommate is SO cool. After all these years, he doesn't piss me off by bringing over his buddies that eat all the food in the fridge that I bought. His buddies also don't drink the booze that I hid in the cabinet above the fridge, behind the tupperware. His buddies also don't park their vehicles sideways in the driveway of the house that I PAY RENT FOR, blocking MY PARKING SPACE.

Oh, that's right...I DON'T HAVE ANY ROOMMAGES b/c roommates suck my ass. Been there, done that. When the rest of you actually pass 25 years old and actually desire some independence, you'll realize that living alone (or with a 6-foot Amazon blond named Helga VonStrudel) is where it's at. Men are pigs. Don't ever live w/one. <--no innuendo inferred.

*edit*
My last male roommate and I shared a 3-bedroom house. We each had a spot in the garage, no big deal. BUT.

He got paid every Friday. He'd stop at the supermarket and buy a $20 steak and $5 gormet potato salad and a $40 bottle of booze and a $9 tub of Excellent Ice Cream etc. and proceed to eat it all by himself. I don' have a problem w/that. But he'd leave his plate/knife/fork/spoon/napkins/bowl/glass on the table. All sdamn weekend. Oh yeah. If I went out Friday night, I'd come home and not only find his dinner dishes sitting there, but his socks, pants and sometimes his drawers....ON THE FRUCKIN' TABLE!!!:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q

Again, men are pigs, slobs and need to be trained that Mommy isn't picking up after you anymore. I love living alone. I NEVER leave clothes lying around; that's what the laundry basket is for. But then again, all magazines on the table need to be stacked neatly, overlapping no more than 1/4-inch on either side. All soda/beer cans in the fridge need to be neatly lined up , so counting them (so I know how much to buy at the market) is easier...I'm a bit OCD....and difficult to live with. But damn is my place neat.

My roomate is cool. He's pretty funny, responsible, and his family is cool.

He has a gamecube too.

To the one-track morons who lock onto the word "roommate" and begin ranting:

My roommate is the best. She does all the dishes (most of the time), she does the laundry, even cooks sometimes. Usually does the grocery shopping. I just have to pushmow the 1/2 acre yard, rake the leaves, maintain and clean her car as well as mine, clean the floors, and do any maintenance required on the house. And she gives it up.

This is a man who is learning The Way The World Works. Woman = do womanly things i.e. give up the fuzzy bunny Man - do manly things like mow lawn, wash car, fix car, lift big box and squash bug. <--seems to work out well that way.

My roommate (in college right now) is another one of the "cool" roommates. We split the cost on a fridge and once it got here he found someone with a car and went out and got 5 cases of various kinds of soda. We both usually help to keep it stocked, help eachother w/ our homework sets, have similar music tastes and he's not any messier than I am. Definitely a good roommate .

 

[xuanman]

hmm, no roommate thankfully.

 

[KokomoGST]

My roommates except for the very first and the last set were all cool people. Nice, mature, easy-going for the most part... my second roomie did get all wacko on me toward the end of that year but we remained friends.

Most of my other roommates were kinda dorky in some way or another but then again they were cool too... mebbe it's because you get to know both sides of them by living with them. Heck, I hope some of them think that I'm kinda cool... I was majorly dorky/silly in college.

My roomate is my cousin and he is cool. We have a great place to live and have cheap bills. We both pay things on time and we never have to worry about not making rent or bills.
