When you choose to live with someone, you're never 100% sure what kind of experience you'll get. Sometimes your roommate is ideal: They clean after themselves, don't touch your food, and make great Netflix bingeing partners. Other times? Well, they steal your belongings, crash your car, or hoard rats in the freezer.
