Had the exact same things happen to me. The most stressful part is when late rent comes into play. The balance between friendship and finances was really uncomfortable.
I can't live with roommates either, for too many reasons to list here. But Jeffrey with you bringing us into your home I feel like we are your internet roommates😅
hehehe cute
😂😂😂
I have 2 roommates… they make me do the cooking, the cleaning, I end up paying every bill every month… but I gave birth to them so I guess I’m stuck 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
funnyyyyyy 😂😂
Soo sweet ❤😂
Had us in the first half😂😂
Gud one 😂😂😂😂
I'd rather scrape by alone than ever have a room mate again. I don't think I even want to live with another human being at this point.
Exactamundo💯
💯 Agree, l've shared my home with rescue dogs before but no way would l ever let another person stay in my home, other people boil my piss!
Same lol.
Same the way I was bullied and emotionally harassed time to time in life, I'm scared of people...
I thought I would be able to start again after moving to other city for college but then I faced new villains Roommate', 1st was horrible just showed her passive aggressive prolly wanted to make me her slave, and 2nd were lying and tarnishing my image cus they were broke and couldn't afford stuff like me,, bullied me like taunting for every possible thing.... I was about to do something wrong but I managed to control myself
Same!! Roommate of 5+ years is moving out soon. Finances will be very tight but it will be worth it!
Me neither! Taking care of your own space is a privilege i swear. I grew up with 7 siblings, i knew I wanted to live alone since I was like 13
i’ve always had a big family, (3 older siblings, 2 parents, 2 grandparents, a dog all lived in my house) and shared a room with my 2 sisters for my whole life. privacy is a huge thing for me and i dream of the day i live by myself. yes it is scary and very intimidating, but to have a whole apartment, kitchen, bathroom, room, all to myself??? wow.
@@imjustasconfusedasyou I have to say, sometimes it still doesn't feel real that I have my own space.... still hehe! It's just something so foreign. And I totally get what you mean about privacy. Sharing the same bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and livingroom with 5+ people gets so exhausting. You will find your peace somewhere, somehow, someway friend! The great thing about when things seem down is that they have to look up ✌
Roommates only ruin friendships... It's a very rare situation when you can find a perfect roommate....
You can be BEST life long friends with someone, and you don't know their habits like you think you do until you live with each other..
Yeah, I have a feeling with my friends I'd come home to penises drawn all over my alter, because they've done it on a smaller scale. Luckily he finds them entertaining so encourages their antics.
@@uta6280 oh no! I'm not EXACTLY sure what you're talking about, but penis drawings are definitely a major part of roommate activities when you're college age-ish😂.... I can't tell you how many friends I had a good pause in our friendship bc we lived together.. my mom took in all my friends growing up, so by the time I moved out on my own, I'd already lived with half my friends and just knew better than to ever try.... One of my best friends got so annoyed with each other we would only commune in the living room when we got bored to play golf on the old PS2... This was back when the PlayStation 2 was actually the newest 😂... We would play games, be cordial for a few moments, partake in the dubage, and then start fighting and go back to our separate quarters😂.... One of the SWEETEST of my guy friends and I got so annoyed, he actually spit his sandwich on me😂🤣🤣🤣..
And we didn't even have bills to worry about bc it was my mom's, so I can't imagine throwing finances in the mix.... Just a recipe for disaster.. . ppl you thought you spent 24/7 with, you still always had your own space and breaks from each other... So just be careful... Especially if you have something like an alter that could be disrespected... I really don't know much, if anything at all about that, being Christian myself BUT I have friends who are in every religion/anti religion and I do know it's not a good thing to disrespect something ppl are spiritually attached to in any type of way... I mean pranks and jokes are one thing, but to insult another's beliefs or mess around with your belongings is something that may actually get more serious if you live together and you don't want that... It causes resentment and resentment is the hardest thing to get over in any relationship because that stank has already been put out there.... If that makes sense at all.. I hope if you do find yourself in a spot where you want or need a roommate, that you find only the best, and that y'all get along great. And just make sure you set boundaries before the move in so there's no confusion about what is ok and not ok.... All that good crap ..
@@fnomore333 the pranks with my religion are usually pretty chill, they don't really insult my beliefs though they have asked my deity one by one if each member of our friend group are "submissive and breedible" and about his sex life. Their antics are harmless and neither me nor my deity really mind he finds it hilarious to mess with them back we're all pretty good at backing off if something is off limits. Most of the penises have been on papers I was using as a pendulum board, so nothing important has been messed with.
@@uta6280 Ahh, well that's very cool then. You're very laid back about things many ppl are very uptight about, you seem like you're still pretty young, so you have matured and have learned lessons it takes ppl decades to learn, if they ever learn at all. Like you have an old soul & higher IQ possibly.. Being laid back about situations and not being too serious about things is a great trait to have... And not common enough .. Never ever change! You seem like you have some really good friends as well..
I’ve never had roommates and I don’t think I would ever want to have any. I like living on my own, doing my own thing, having the full freedom and control over my day and how I manage my time/ chores! There was a time where I did want to try it out and maybe i’ll try it some day but deep down I know I won’t last a week 😂😂😂
I agree with you 100%. From my personal experience, it doesn't work out. Either they're really messy, brings daily (excessive) drama, irresponsible, loud, etc .. I'd rather pay all the rent and utilities than to worry about what the other person has "going on this month". Learned the hard way more than once.
In my opinion if you are a picky person who like things organized and clean then living alone by yourself is better. For me personally my bathroom is my private place to unwind and have a bubble bath. My bedroom is my restful place and the kitchen must stay clean. Therefore I love being here with Me, I and my Shadow Alone in my nest.
100% agreed. I love this
Yeah I have some sort of ocd so I agree upon everything but want to add more, people can be toxic especially in this social media era where everyone is just judging and growing a weird ego, personally I was harassed because my roomies wanted to dominate me,intimidate and others were jealous to see my resources and me managing and being a sort of perfect for myself
It’s a different kind of peace living by yourself. I love it. Also, where is this recipe???
Omg tell me about it! I had FOUR BOYS as my roommates and I was the only girl. One roommate always drank my alcohol and never bought me a new bottle or pack and he never cleaned his dirty dishes. The other roommate would bring a friend over to sleep on our couch for MONTHS without paying anything. The line was crossed when my other roommate threw up in my bathroom and i gave him a day to clean it up, but no in the end i had to 💀
If I throw up I'm cleaning that shit up immediately, IDC how sick or drunk I am. I would feel so fucking bad making someone else do it 😅
YES! Exactly
Similar thing I was a student,my roommate used leave her hair all over the floor in bathroom so I just asked her one day to clean it by herself as I was cleaning it and she was not even feeling shameful but that's the end from that day she just ruined my life, couldn't let me sleep and study, I was new so she gossiped sh1t about me tried to tarnish my image and that passive aggression,banging door as hard as possible what not, making faces, bringing 10-12 friends in room knowing I was studying...
I suffered that torture for 4 months and have another saga after it....
Everything was so traumatizing that I suddenly cried midnight and writing this to release some stress
Absolutely hating living with roommate. Signed a lease for a studio as soon as I got a job offer. Living alone is best thing for your mental health and productivity.
I’d much rather sleep in a car than deal with roommates
Dude same. Living in solitude is so much better than roommates. My kitchen always stays dirty because of the two idiots I share house with.
I had roommates once - both my two former best friends can you believe - and only lasted four months! I couldn’t get away fast enough. It ruined my friendship with them. Being friends is one thing, living with them was another. Everything from mess to no respect for my stuff, to constantly annoying me, to demanding things all the time, to trying to get me to pay more. They even used to demand that I woke up at the same time as them. I began to hate them so quickly. Didn’t even tell them I was moving out cos I knew they’d try to stop me. As soon as I found an apartment within my price range I was out, even though it was further away. Never looked back. Never again will I have roommates unless it’s my family. I don’t even let people visit unless I want them there. I’d rather pay more to live alone and have my peace.
Tons of perks? Nah. Just one, you share rent. Everything else is a nightmare.
Well I'm an only child so that might explain my biases on this. But living alone has way more perks than living with people, even if they're your friends to begin with. And I'd even say, ESPECIALLY if they were your friends before becoming roommates. You never know your friends until you've lived with them, and trust me, you might lose some friendships doing that.
💯%
Glad they asked for help with rent, my last roommate spent my half on concert tickets before leaving for spring break. Tickle me surprised when the landlord comes screaming and I had to scrap together a whole extra months worth for him. He eventually paid me back but not after telling everyone in our circle that I was at fault. I won't detail his hygiene/cleaning issues but let's just say it was so bad and he was so lazy he just wore shoes around the house 24/7 which only added to the smell
That makes so much sense! If you are someone who can live by themselves that's amazing. I wish i could. I just get so scared alone. And i also go stir crazy if i don't talk to someone haha. I do however appreciate when nobody's home and i can just be.
Me toooo but i think I would do well if I lived alone but I’m a broke college student
I get so irritated with people
I love being in my home alone then to deal with others..

My last straw was taking my milk. It sounds crazy but after 10 months of having him come home early from work, having his girlfriend/one night stands take my underwear and lingerie, not cleaning up after parties, asking us to do his laundry and grocery shopping, then asking for me to freaking cook for him daily and trying to take my dang microwave. The milk I needed for dinner was the last straw
I’ve had terrible roommates and I would’ve agreed with you before moving in with my current one. He gave me a place to stay when I was homeless and couch surfing and I had just had the rug pulled out from under me leaving me with no one left to turn to. I had met him during the Texas freeze that happened early 2021 when we both ended up at the same house “party” cause that house still had power. I knew he had a spare room (from a previous roommate that disappeared on him and owed him over $4k) and I asked to crash there to finish out a two weeks notice at the job I just got and he brought me in no complaints. I was terrified, I was finally making progress on getting back to normal and it was all slipping away again until he helped me. When I couldn’t make rent right away one month he told me to calm down, covered my half, and told me “pay me back when it isn’t gonna break you.” After that he got me a job at the bar he worked at cause clearly the one I had wasn’t enough. I started putting in triples every week and finally got myself stable. I don’t know what my life would look like if he hadn’t done all that he did for me but I know I would be infinitely worse off. Not all roommates are good, but some are worth their weight in gold.
Same. I'm so much better alone.
Omg this I LOVE living by myself it's the best.
I don't blame you. I once lived with 3 other girls, and it was overwhelming. They never cleaned out anything in the fridge. They would always invite random people over.
I absolutely hate living with roommates but single apartments are hard to find in my area. 😢 I hate it
Unrelated to this video but i recently found your channel. I've binge watched all of your videos and i can't wait for more. I really like your vibe 😭
See my biggest fear is living alone but I also hate dealing with people. Sooooo there's no solution to my problem
LOL eum… gluck
@@JeffreyChang 😭💀
Just live alone, it don't mean say you have no one to talk or company, believe me this toxic world, go outside make friends deal with them, but never live with anyone, people often become nightmares
My pet peeve is when Someone’s alarm goes off and it wakes me up and they keep sleeping.
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Soooo disrespectful
I loved my roommate but also he never really cleaned his bathroom, and since his bathroom wasn’t the master one it was the one guests used when we had people over (he let me have the master bathroom but in return i never made him pay me back for utilities which we were supposed to share the difference on), so any time we had people over they would comment on it lmao
Yeah, i can relate. It's nice to have a room to yourself in a small uni dorm apartment. I can have my own schedule in peace, be lazy without feeling uncomfortable, or whatever else. It was nice to just, have some space and quiet to myself, with just one other person living in the other room, across from me.
If you can find a friend willing to room with you if you want a roommate. Just keep in mind that not everyone wants to room with someone.
You can go around meeting new people and getting to know them before you end up rooming with someone so you know your options if you do room with someone. This is good for when your friends say no but also risky as you may meet someone who isn't safe to be around. Always let a friend or a family member know where you are going if you do meet new people for safety reasons.
I’m literally going through the same thing! The girls I love with don’t clean up their dishes after they cook, don’t take the trash out if they see it’s filled up, and sometimes don’t lock the doors. I thought it would be worth it to save some money, but I’m so over it
He's so attractive, I can't 🛐🛐
I’m the same. If I have people in my space too much, I stop being able to cope with life. I stop being good at my job, I stop eating properly, I stop sleeping well. I put off going home just so I don’t have to interact with anyone. I used to sit on the path to my apartment and wait for my housemate to go to bed before I went upstairs. I’d sneak in and run right to my room so he didn’t try and talk to me. I just really need complete silence and solitude in order to be mentally healthy
All I can think is "must be nice to have a choice" 😢
after i left my roommates, i had new roommates and then i lived back with my parents. Living alone is new to me and 5-6 years later :) i saved up. i didnt have a choice b4 and tried my best to get here
I cant stand living with roommates, i had a really bad experience that traumatized me for life
I feel the same way. But I miss having the company though
Trust me.. i would love to die all alone in my apartment than have a roommates. Bad memories 😔🤢
100% agree, I used to live with roommates during College
Everyone has their own lifestyle and unless you guys were close friends growing up and respecting each other’s boundaries then it’s definitely difficult
Yes I agree don’t have roommates. One have the rent ready, while the other comes with excuses. I love my peace, quite,space and air.
Those are my roommates.
I completely understand. I was the mother of my apartment, cleaning after others, cooking for everyone, did most of the basic home maintenance and led most if the shopping (roommates did pay, but had no idea what to get from the grocery stores like I did). But I do enjoy visitors.
For three years I paid all the bills and they didn’t cook clean anything. Then one day while I’m in a different city babysitting they got into a huge brawl ( they were dating) and left my house at four am. I was getting frantic calls asking if I was okay because it sounded like someone was getting murdered
I really can't stand my living situation. I have to unfortunately "deal" with it because houses are expensive. I'm just in my saving up journey but yeah I'm highly annoyed rn. Can't wait to escape and feel freedom.
I had a roommate who left the front door open before leaving, he forgot to flush the toilet on the regs, he ate my stuff and didn't refill, and he NEVER cleaned up... he was a good person, but that was my last roommate since. No matter how nice you are, if you disrespect the simpliest houserules like troughing out the trash once in a while, you'll get hate.
I don't either but mostly because I like my personal space and can't feel comfortable until I really know the ppl I live w/
Well your roommate didn't destroy your personal belongings out of spite, or abuse your kindness. How about a roommate who never helped bring in the Groceries but would eat them up.
Same. I wish to live alone by myself if I'm not gonna be with people who respect each other's boundaries and peace. I hate loud people and people who touch my stuff.🙄 I'm very territorial. 👊
Roommates are such a difficult topic. I want a roommate that I know well enough to know how they act when living “alone”, but I also don’t want a friend I would be afraid to loose. If anyone has roommate picking tips or just roommate tips in general, please let me know (I’m looking into getting a roommate when I buy my apartment)
I’ve never had roommates and I never will. Honestly I probably won’t even live with a significant other, I don’t like sharing my space, they’d have to be really understanding and the place would have to be huge😅
I have a roommate right now and it has been hell. If i was to list everything she's done, I would be here for hours. The most recent thing was that she woke me up to ask if she could have some of the ice cream she asked me to buy for her. I get really sick if I don't sleep enough so I ended up with a major headache, and nausea all day
Same. I also got sick if i didn't sleep enough. I got headache and can't even focus in class and my body feel really weak because my roommate set alarm multiple times but didn't even wake up once. Im so stress.
I’m 23 years old living in Massachusetts I live with my mother and 2 older siblings and it’s impossible to find an affordable apartment for one person unless you’ve got crazy income you need roommates to make it
i’ve had great roommates, okay roommates, and horrible roommates. having the horrible experiences can make you appreciate the good ones and can help you figure out what you need and want in a roommate. i’ve lived with males and females, and there can be good and bad regardless of the gender. roommates definitely are not for everyone though.
How do you not have more likes in your videos? I love your videos so much!!
This became an issue in my life as an adult. When I was younger, having roommates was the best! I'm an only child, so it was like having siblings. But now I need my space and I need to do things my way. Even with my girlfriend of 3 years now. She stays here from time to time, but she's not a roommate. I stay with her from time to time, but we don't live together. I panic to think what I'm going to do when I have children. 😅
My roommate in college like to do all her work in the night like 3 to 4 am and sleep till the afternoon it really disturbed my routine .
No because why is the sleeping situation just like my brother, he sets a time from 5-7 am every 10 minutes and he never wakes up to it. It’s annoying
Not only do these videos have great insights, they also have delicious food and good inspiration for dinner each time 😋
You gotta give us a full cover of that french (?) song you were singing in your first short. That was amazing
We want longer videos please
I love these but I have to ask? Longer vlogs? 😁
I got a place with my cousin. I’m getting off the lease in March n getting my own spot….I will never ever have male roommate again in life because all my roommates that I ever had even in college eventually got on my nerves. Also, I feel like I’m too old.
I hate living with roommates to
Everyone commenting on the roommate topic... ME admiring his cooking skills & following the pasta recipe 😅. Could you please share the brand of the second nonstick pan used in video?
I have so many weird roommate stories. People always stole things from each other and from me, people threw insane parties that ended in fights and police raids, people tried to stab each other, someone threw my new chair out on the roof terrace, someone took all my clothes from my closet and hid them somewhere in the house cause they were petty and mad
I had two roommates who tried to evict/charge me by reporting false things to our landlord because they were bitches essentially who had a thing against me. The landlord sided me.
Yeah bro even me alot traumatizing things happen so even i m better off with no roommate.
I always pay my rent a week early.
Also, partners can be worse than roommates because you are committed to them. My ex was a narc and very disorganized and dirty, but would always blame me for all the mess, even though I spent hours every day cleaning while he sat on his butt....
I feel this so hard. I have some random roommate HORROR STORIES. Even some bad experiences with people I actually liked. I’m literally paying 3x more than what I was paying before but I have an extremely spacious 1 bedroom apartment and it’s SO WORTH IT.
Good point haha 😂👍🏻
Meanwhile I'm here thinking I'd make a perfect roommate but still staying at my parents to help with the kids..
but yeah, it's also a big dream of mine to be able to live on my own
When cutting onions gum kinda helps
You should probably soak the onion in water for some time it idk in what way helps but it does and you don't cry when you cut it.
I can sympathise with alarm clock guy, I can quite easily sleep through an alarm that’s waking up everyone else in the house even with it 8 inches from my head
I’m the same way! The cons outweigh the pros for me. I like having my own space
Need detailed version of this recipe, didn’t quite get it
My roommates are f**king slobs. I asked one of them to clean up after himself and he called me a narcissist. I wish I could afford my own place
All the drama it’s just not worth it
I've heard so many bad roomate stories.
What is this recipe? I want to try it. It looks so good
Please print ingredients on screen.
Yeah, definitely feel that 😭
I always have to watch such videos at least 3 times to get the message. So focused on the process of making these delicious meals...
As someone who lived with a roomie since childhood (my sister), I DO NOT WANT ONE EVER.
Totally me 🤣... I love being alone
I've lived with roommates 3 times. 3 years in college; about 6 months living with a coworker; and 5 months living with a friend, her son, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's brother, and another friend of hers. Never again. The first one was awkward because it was a 1br apartment. He got the living room, I got the bedroom. #2 was good, we each had our own room, so we had plenty of privacy. #3 was the disaster it sounds like. Never again.
This guy reminds me of my best friend . I haven't talked to him in a year ( and probably never will) . I missed him so much:)
If you can afford it, living alone is worth it
This deserves tons of likes
Lived with roommates. Loved one and really hated the other. I love being by myself way more after the whole roommate experience.
Been there, done that and I gave up on roommate living too. All I can say is, what an experience...the highlight was when this new girl moved in the flat, and she ended up waking me up at midnight because she " hears voices" O.o
He is right. (Although I am thirteen but I would like to live alone) if I would have roommates they would be my close friends
To not cry when cutting onions wet ur hands or a towel and put the wet towel next to you
i’ve always had a big family, (3 older siblings, 2 parents, 2 grandparents, a dog all lived in my house) and shared a room with my 2 sisters for my whole life. privacy is a huge thing for me and i dream of the day i live by myself. yes it is scary and very intimidating, but to have a whole apartment, kitchen, bathroom, room, all to myself??? wow.
My sister had a friend move in with her, absolute nightmare. When my sister had enough and moved out the girl was going through my sisters stuff claiming things as her own. She took a set of cups my sister had for years, like ok have the crusty old cups.
I can relate bestie I'm doing boarding house right now
wish me luck 😣 i've been living alone in a condo since i was in 7th grade and now i'm a sophomore in college and i'm gonna have to have a roomie to split all the expenses since my dad won't allow me to rent alone bec it's too exp🥹
My roommate ate my food,drank my drinks,used my deoderant,drank my liquor, wore my clothes,invited her friends without asking and never paid her share of the rent!
@JeffreyChang LIST THE INGREDIENTS PLEASE!!! and if possible drop the recipe aswell~
Thanks mate :)
I did listen to the voice over but the food was so captivating
I love having room mates, its like highschool sleeping overrr… its so exciting everyday. You get to cook and shyt… i love it
