Crap, I have a roommate again

Awesome

My best friend just moved in with me last night. It's fine; I lived with him for 3 years in college, and I love the guy, so I really don't mind having him around.

However, there are certain things I need to be careful about!

1) Being naked -- I've lived alone for the last 2 years, so I kind of got used to being able to walk around naked without it being a big deal.

2) Pooping with the door open -- yeah, I don't think this is gonna fly anymore.

3) Staying up all night watching TV -- we work almost completely opposite schedules, so I can't be up all night watching TV when he has to be up for work at 6am.

4) Leaving dirty clothes all over the place -- I admit, I shouldn't be doing this anyway, but I'm lazy and leave underpants all over the house. Need to stop that.

He's only (in theory) going to be here a few months, so I'll be fine. I just need to remember how to live with someone else again!
 
You should walk around naked anyway. My roommate and I scare the hell out of each other all the time because we think the other one is out and walk out of our bedroom nude.

He's a little self consciousness about his hairy chest. I'm a little self consciousness about my birthmark...

There's much screaming, and then we run back into our respective rooms. It makes for interesting times.
 
Hell, I've been married for more than 6 years, and if hubby comes up stairs, and I'm peeing with the bathroom door even slightly ajar, he runs down the stairs in horror.

On the other hand, there is a great deal to be said for "saving some of the mystery."

As the walking around in the buff, bathrobes are wonderful, wonderful things. Get one. Use it. :lol:
 
Oh man, I have a roomate and I do all that stuff on the list. Guess I need to learn a thing or two.:guffaw:
 
I went from eleven other roommates to just one this year. I kinda miss the company, but I can study more quietly now.
Also as a corporal I enjoy certain luxuries that ordinary soldiers do not have. Room inspections for example are very rare now..
 
Roger, is this the guy that kinda dropped off the face of the earth for a while? And you were worried about him? If so, I'm guessing things are good between the two of you.

Yeah, i would say shut the door when you go to the bathroom, don't leave underwear all over the place and invest in some boxers if you don't want to wear a bathrobe. It'll be good practice for you when you find "Miss Right".
 
I had three roommates in college: two female, one male. We were naked much of the time and threw classy, nudist parties and used our pool as an excuse. It really was a lot of fun and made us the talk of the town/campus.

But everyone has limits, I guess. We still never shat with the doors open but that was sort of hard to justify anyway. I apologize if this particular liberty is being abridged.

Dirty clothes that belong to men that are lying around? I'm no fetishist but that doesn't sound like too bad of a living arrangement to me... :techman:
 
1) Being naked -- I've lived alone for the last 2 years, so I kind of got used to being able to walk around naked without it being a big deal.

Prior to becomin' roommates with a friend of mine, she & I talked things out, and nudity came up. She'd had roommates before, and she said, flat out, "There may be times you see me naked."

What a liar she turned out to be.

Dammit.

2) Pooping with the door open -- yeah, I don't think this is gonna fly anymore.

Dude...I don't even poop with the door open and I live alone!

3) Staying up all night watching TV -- we work almost completely opposite schedules, so I can't be up all night watching TV when he has to be up for work at 6am.

Earplugs. My roommate used 'em when we lived together, and never complained about my tv watchin'.

Yeah, ya do, unless your mother lives with ya, too.
 
Roommates are like fish, they start to stink after 3 days...especially if you don't have a large enough freezer to stuff them into. :shifty:

Oh yeah, things are fine. Things were fine then, too. He was just MIA for a while.

Dude...I don't even poop with the door open and I live alone!
Well, there's no real reason to close the door if you're the only one in the house. Plus, if I left the door open in my old place, I could poop and still see the TV. :lol:

Meh, it's always been a really bad habit. I've started putting random laundry baskets in every room of the house in the hopes that I will throw my clothes in them. So far, it hasn't worked.
 
I really couldn't cope with living with someone else again. Damn annoying creatures, people. ;)

Call me crazy, but how about a TV in one's own room or even closing the bedroom door -- that is, unless it's a one room flat.

Well, in my case, we only had the one tv, and it was mine, like most of the furniture in the apartment. Since we only had the one tv, it was kept in the livin' room.

You can still hear it. This house is hardly soundproof.
