#25: Roommates Are the Worst
I don’t seem to remember if we already talked about roommates as one of the primary relationships for breeding pettiness, but if we didn’t, then it’s about time we did. Something about living with people purely for the sake of convenience, with no prior relationship, seems destined to build at least some contempt.

And not many things are more capable of breeding contempt than simply not paying rent for an entire year. This seems like the kind of [in]action that could more readily result in legal action but they seem to have gone with the more gentle approach of just removing all the physical commodities that the couple needed in order to live there.
