15 Pleasures You'll Only Recognize If You Live Alone

Going to the bathroom without closing the door? Eating straight from the pan? Yes, please! <3

1. Looking for that leftover pizza you put in the fridge and ACTUALLY FINDING IT.

Nickelodeon

When you live with other people, you have to defend your food as if you were an animal. When you live alone, however, you never have to label your leftovers or hide them behind some gross thing no one wants to eat in the back of the fridge.

2. Talking to yourself, out loud, for hours.

Universal Pictures

You can act out confrontation scenes that will never happen, have a chat with yourself in front of the mirror, and even cry. Oh, and if you have a pet, you can have long conversations with it without being judged.

3. Listening to loud music without having to wear earphones.

NBC

And by "loud music" we might also be talking about movies with, er... adult content.

4. Going to the bathroom without closing the door.

Fine Line Features

Out of all the glorious things you can experience when you live alone, this one is probably the most beautiful.

5. Walking around naked.

CBS

Once you close your front door behind you, you forget all about those "rules of society" and carry on living out your life in your underwear (or your birthday suit).

6. Eating straight from the pan.

Comedy Central

Would ya look at that, no extra dishes to wash! ;)

7. Hanging that horrible painting only you like.

NBC

Your house, your (decor) rules!

8. Expressing yourself without limitations.

FOX

Even you get surprised by how gross you can be when nobody is watching.

9. Not having to worry about making noise.

Castle Rock Entertainment

Either when you're having a moment of passion... or when you're crying in your room thinking you're going to die alone.

10. But also being able to sit in silence for hours on end.

AMC

You don't have to pretend to be interested in every single detail of your roommate's life.

11. Taking long showers without somebody knocking.

Buena Vista International

Also, being able to use the bathroom whenever you want, without having to hold it by the door because somebody has been taking a shower for the past two hours.

12. Getting drunk by yourself.

FOX

You buy a bottle of wine "for the week," but you drink it all as soon as you get home from the store, and two hours later you´re telling yourself the entire truth.

13. Cleaning the hair left in the shower without disgust because it can only be yours. <3

The comfort you get knowing that it could only have come from your body is priceless.

14. Not having to wake up on a Sunday morning to music you hate.

NBC

Because there's nothing worse than having to wake up to some cheesy, overplayed song when all you want to do was sleep.

15. And just being weird.

NBC

When you live alone, you're your most disgusting version of yourself, but also the most fun.
