All I wanted to do when I came home was watch some racing, etc., but typically he’s planted in front of the TV (my 60 inch btw) watching some ridiculously stupid movie or tv show. He will start a movie when it’s halfway over, switch to another one, and so on. But what really irked me when I came home just now?

He’s watching Transcendence.

FOR THE 2nd TIME.

I've been thinking of doing that, it's just finding room to put it. The other week I complained about it and he went and deleted all my stuff off the DVR like a little bitch.

Are you serious? Sounds like it's time for a new roommate.

Lol. I have the option to move into the loft apartment above the family business, I just don’t like living so close to work. I just feel like I’m always there when I lived there awhile back.

Find a new roommate. He sounds like a selfish pig.

Yeah, I know, but moving blows. He's a good friend but can be such a bitch at times.

I just have my own townhome. It’s certainly more expensive to live alone, but it’s nice. I can be naked whenever and wherever I want.

It’s his house but I pay half of EVERYTHING, so I would be the one that needed to move. I'm thinking about it, but moving is no fun.

I once lived with my best friend five years ago. It went poorly. We basically have never spoken since we moved out.

That’s when you throw him out. Like right there. He has no respect for you or your things, physical or digital. He’s not a good friend, he’s a self-centered asshole.

Roomates blow! I could never do it again. My last one would turn the ac down to 64 after I fell asleep in the summer, and open his window in the middle of winter letting all the heat out. I bet he spends $800 a month on utilities now.

Damn. I like my AC set at 72. My roommate will have it lower sometimes and then wrap himself in a blanket while watching tv. Dumb.

Can you just say something like “hey, I know you watch a lot of movies and stuff. Would you mind if I watch some different things when I get home?”

Maybe buy a smaller TV for the living area and put the larger one in your bedroom, or vice versa. I got rid of cable since I watch mostly football, Nature, Nova and mostly auto racing when in season. And their prices had gone to over $150 a month.

I do most of that online now. I have the choice of watching it in the living room, bedroom or the office.

I miss having roommates, just get a small tv for your room or something. You can’t put things in a common area then start pulling that “my tv” stuff. Living alone blows :(.

Roommates are the worst! You will never understand true freedom and happiness until you finally live on your own. The first time I was on my own I had a shitty apartment in a shitty part of town and it was literally the best time of my life. You do whatever you want whenever you want. You never have to think of anyone else.

If you have the financial means to be on your own do it you will never regret it. I was broke as fuck and eating mac and cheese 4-5 times a week but I was the happiest I’d ever been. Saving an extra 200-300 bucks by having a roommate IS NOT WORTH IT! EVER!
