How To spot A Terrible Roommate? 'Nightmarish Living'

  • Link Copied

It’s not that easy as it sounds. “Compatibility check” with a roommate is a double-edged sword. Either you turn out to be a paranoid or the other person is truly the one!  I’m listing a few questions to spot a terrible roommate.


Nightmares caused by a bad roommate buds with ignoring such compatibility checks.


You might be driven potty by hamster, but not the other person:


“Do you have any pets?”


I’m a night owl, so I didn’t wish to ruin her sleep:


“May I know your schedule?”



I love to throw a do! But I would like to know if he’s comfortable with vodka:


“Would you like to drink/smoke?” (Sometimes, you can also ask if it’s “drugs”)


I like sleepovers, but not every night:


“Would you please tell us, how often you expect visitors?”


 I like to tidy the house, but I’m not a germaphobe. I hate to be picked on!


“Would you mind sharing it with us if you have OCD?”



It depends on the ad you’ve posted for roommates. You can also specify your preferences!
