The Dish Depositor gets their namesake from their great affinity for depositing dishes in the sink, yet never withdrawing any of them. Have they ever washed a single dish in their life? Better invest in a dishwasher and hope for the best.

2. The Megaslob

From leaving food wrappers and crumbs strewn around the kitchen to discarding used tissues on the bathroom floor, the Megaslob is always finding new ways to disgust you. On the bright side, you feel much better about your own level of cleanliness.

3. The King/Queen of Passive Aggression

AKA the king/queen of never actually telling you anything that bothers them to your face, ever. This roommate is known to take extreme measures, from writing notes to sending angry emails, to letting out The Sigh Heard Around the World as they take the trash out.

4. The Secret Freeloader

Uh-oh — your food in the fridge has gone missing too many times for it to be an accident, and your toothpaste seems to be depleting in half the time as usual! This is a surefire sign that you’re living with The Secret Freeloader.

5. The Obvious Freeloader

The Obvious Freeloader is a bit more overt about their intentions. He or she is comfortable asking things like, “Hey man, can I borrow some eggs? How about some pasta?” and “Yo, can you spot me on this month’s internet bill?” Oh, well. At least they’re not being sneaky about it.

6. The OCD Neat Freak

The OCD Neat Freak’s ultimate form of therapy is cleaning and they’re A-OK with vacuuming right outside of your room at 1 a.m. and berating you for the speck of grease you got on the stovetop. You haven't actually seen them do anything at home that doesn't involve tidying up. In fact, your apartment is so spotless that it barely looks lived-in.

7. The Hermit

All things considered, it’s nice to have the comfort of knowing The Hermit is home at all hours. But privacy! And alone time! Will you ever know what that feels like again? It’s hard to say.

8. The Oversharer

It's best to beeline straight to your room before The Oversharer can accost you to divulge their entire day’s activities to you. Sparing you no mundane detail, The Oversharer is happy to discuss everything from their morning run to the exact contents of their lunch to the conversation they had with their mom an hour ago.

9. The Loudest Person on Earth

Invest in a solid pair of earplugs and look forward to summer when the AC comes on — anything to help drown out The Loudest Person on Earth! They seem to be capable of making every noise possible — in fact, you’re not even sure what 50% of their noises are. Hopefully you’re not a light sleeper.

10. The Adult Child

The Adult Child is out on their own for the first time and they’re not exactly good at adult-ing. Their innocence can be endearing, but you can't help but wonder how they made it to age 26 without ever having cooked or a meal or opened a savings account.

11. The Double Roommate

Acting as a foil to The Hermit, The Double Roommate is NEVER alone. Whether accompanied at all hours by a significant other or simply a constant flow of friends and visitors, the Double Roommate makes sure that they’re sharing their apartment with as many people as possible.

12. The 24-hour Party Person

Turn down for what? Literally nothing, according to your roommate. They're known to stumble in the apartment at all hours of the night, even if they have work in the morning. Your'e not sure if they sleep at all — it's actually quite impressive.

13. The Unreasonably Messy Cook

You have no idea how your roommate managed to turn your kitchen into a disaster area cooking a single meal, but they did it. The Unreasonably Messy Cook enjoys cooking, much to the horror of everyone who lives with them. Their meals certainly look good (especially when posted on social media), as long as no one sees the destruction they left in their wake.

There are so many bad roommates in this world. Don't be the one who leaves the kitchen in shambles. Cook more effortlessly with Barilla® Pronto™. One Pan. No Boil. No Drain pasta.
