    21 Cowardly Things All Roommates Do But Won’t Admit

    Welcome to passive aggressive city. Population: you and me.

    1. They leave you to finish their half-assed jobs.

    2. ... Or sometimes the entire job.

    3. They put garbage on the floor instead of taking it out.

    4. Or spend time making large signs in the time they could've actually taken the garbage out.

    5. They clog the drain then leave you to unclog it.

    6. They play their music JUST loud enough, so they can't hear you asking them to turn it down.

    7. Meanwhile, they ask you to turn your music down via text.

    8. They take selfies with you when you're the most vulnerable.

    9. They're nowhere to be found when it's time to do the dishes.

    10. They hide food so they don't have to share it.

    11. And use illogical extremes to protect their food.

    12. But they sneak bites (or more) of your food when you're not home!

    13. They leave you wonderful surprises inside the glassware.

    14. Or leave you to clean up the mess after an insect altercation.

    15. They make missing things magically reappear.

    16. They secretly use your toiletries... so they think.

    17. They threaten you with sticky notes.

    18. They slowly let their S.O. turn into a new roommate, which you never signed up for.

    19. They wake you up via text.

    It's not cute, really it isn't.

    20. They make sure you'll get the least amount of your deposit back.

    21. And they always turn up the charm when they forget rent is due.

    But after all the cowardice, you guys still got each others' back. And who could ask for anything more?
