I agree with Nightshade, I heard that rule before and thought it was a given... I'd say 90% of people who do room with friends get fed up with each other's 'comfort levels'.

My roomie and I have been roomies for 3 years... I still find him annoying... but hey it could be worse. Living alone or with family is the best, alone you can only get mad at yourself for not doing stuff and family... well if they don't do stuff you can kick their butts. I live with my brother and sis in law over breaks and trust me I get a lecture if I leave a mess, hence I don't leave a mess.

I think the better rule of thumb is to avoid passive-agressive people.

One of my friend's roommates is gay with bi-polar disorder. The only reason why they let him stay is because he pays a bulk of the rent and let's them use his G35. :eh:

heh, anything is better than having a roommate who constantly criticizes me for autocrossing (he thinks it's dumb and pointless), and actually taking the time to buy grippier tires; he apparently thinks $40 no name tires will do the same job.

What does that have to do with being passive aggressive? :thinking:
