Definitely been in a similar situation where messy people deny their disgusting habits and blame it on the introvert that wears headphones and cleans up after themselves
Literally have had this happen where they blame you for messes it’s so stressful 😞 also them eating your stuff and blaming you for eating there’s when you’ve done nothing.
i've had something similar like that happen to me and boy, let me tell you when swoozie said "let me be umproblematic and still be a problem" my soul about left my body. this roomie told lies about me that were blatant. so what i did was i started documenting EVERYTHING and karma came back to her like a raging bitch because i had EVIDENCE of the things she was accusing me of that she was actually doing. my suggestion to everyone is document things, take pictures etc. so when they try to turn it on you shove in their face!
for real. hes trying so hard to not cause drama and then they blame him for all the shit they are doing! Roommates do suck though, its very rare for it to work out
I’m so glad I have 3 roommates that were raised by immigrant parents including myself. The 18 years of home training really paid off; the crib is consistently clean, whoever was closest to the trash took it out, we cleaned after ourselves after we cooked food, if someone needed something, they’d just ask and it was never an issue, we planned twice a month to fully clean the residence and laundry since we were all on the soccer team for our university, plan groceries and plan “missions”. I understood how lucky I got when we went to our other teammates res and saw that it was consistently a mess.
Man I hate that shit where people gang up on you and lie about you just because you want to be left alone. I've had roommates tell so much nonsense to the landlord about me I actually started crying. You KNOW none of that is true, how can you lie so blatantly just because I sit in my room all day and don't wanna watch some stupid reality show nonsense on Netflix with yall?
Same. Regarding the last sentence, I always put so much thought into my recommendations, I compare it to many different things I've enjoyed, I read reviews, and I even think about whether the person I'm recommending it to will like it. Meanwhile my one room mate loves to hype shit up because he's an extrovert so he exaggerates everything, and he will just recommend shit that he randomly saw without putting a single ounce of effort into figuring out if its good or not. I swear every fucking thing he's ever recommended has been hot garbage and such a waste of my time, and yet he gets visibly upset when I say I don't want to watch or play a game that he recommends we watch or play together.
regarding that last sentence, i understand that your room mates are frustrated with you. i wouldnt start lying or talking to a larndlord or anything like that, but your not being a room mate. if you decide to "sit in my room all day" your not being a room mate, you want a fun room mate, if you live with someone you want to actually live with that someone and have fun. so bascilly your room mates want to have fun with you, meybe put some effort into oginizing stuff etc, and all you do is say no and refuse? its like being forced into a marrige and the only thing you and your partner do is get married. sure your married, but you dont go on dates, you dont have sex, you dont want to have children, all you have is a piece of paper saying that your married but you refuse to do anything. if your going to be stuck with this person at least led it be a fun person who you can have a good time with, if your stuck with them lets at least have fun. its not always about what you like or what they like but just doing things together, so whats its a shitty show, your not going to sit next to each other in silence the entire time, your going to talk, make jokes, just spend some time together. i could also sit in my room and only eat my own food, but yet i still go and have house food nights together even though i might like their cooking less, i still watch shows with them even if its only to make fun of how bad the show is.
@@shemshem9998 nah, my dude a room mate is there to help you pay bills most of the time not be your bff. Also, it has nothing to do with being married, that's a piss poor comparison. You sound like you'd be an annoying roommate.
@@shemshem9998 maybe i have Asperger and don't like to socialize? The housing situation forces me to share a house with others but it shouldn't force me to interact with you
In college, I used to have neighbors talk trash about my roommates and I claiming we were really loud, always blasted the TV, and were always causing problems. Thankfully, one of our RAs lived right next door and said he knew the complaints were bs because he almost never heard us. Meanwhile, these same neighbors were dragging furniture and screaming at 2am, would have all their lights out whenever we dropped by to politely ask them to keep it down, and after about a month, it became pretty obvious they just wanted to get us kicked out because they were doing drugs and having sex and didn't want us to report them since it wasn't allowed on campus. We didn't report them (since we didn't have any real proof), but our RA started ignoring all our neighbors' complaints against us when they started making noise complaints when none of us were home, so that was nice
The trash issue drove me nuts when I had roommates too. I would get home from work and immediately take out the trash, then I would hear “I was just about to do that!” Like they couldn’t do it during the 8 hours I was at work.
Wonder how'd it go if you told them "sorry. I'll let you do trash next time okay?" Then have your own separate trash and watch theirs pile up so that they would stop feeling "guilty" 🙂 (excuse the pettiness lol)
Between college dorms and apartment life for a few years, the drama of roommates makes living by yourself that much more peaceful. Another reason why I'm in NO RUSH to get married because that's your 'forever roommate' ya know before you have kids leading to even MORE roommate drama than ever!
When I lived with my friends at one point, I was so over the drama with them that I said “After this I don’t want to live with another person until my husband…..and I don’t even want him yet”. I lived by myself for 3 years and it was wonderful, now I’m getting married in 2 months and even though it’s hard at times it’s definitely better with your partner compared to friends lol.
During my first semester at a four year. My roommates were Brazilian and they were on the soccer team. Real cool guys but I just have to tell you I had morning classes and I am trying to sleep. It was 3am and three of them were yelling while they were playing COD (I get it because I’m a dude as well) but the simple fact that they didn’t consider the fact I have to get up and go to class was really pissing me off. They were nasty too. Leaving their clothes on the floor, hygiene products left unopened from time to time in the bathroom and they would sleep all day because they took night classes. I learned to share a room and a bed because I have siblings and family members to share with growing up. But those four months were ridiculous 😂
Yeah, the ability to see eye to eye on acceptable cleanliness is probably the single most important trait a roommate can have. Also you'd think 20+ year olds will be able to do dishes/take out trash/etc themselves but having a rotating chore schedule is insanely useful in guaranteeing this happens. Lived with a guy who made us follow a schedule like that and it ended up being amazing.
I had a horrible roomate in college. She had a bit of an arrogant personality while I was much more of a passive introvert. There's one thing that'll always cheer me up about it: we both had cats, but she was out more often, closed her bedroom door at night to leave her cat outside of it, and rarely cleaned their litter. After all was said and done, her cat liked me more. It would sleep on my bed beside my cat and would often go under my bed as a hiding spot. It may have been a horrible school year, but it gives me evil satisfaction that even though my roomate hated me and called me a horrible roomate, her cat would miss me after I left because I was a better owner.
Those guys aren’t even on a deserted island and still devolve into some Lord of the Flies drama! Good on you Swoozie for staying out of that! Don’t need to be involved with that mess!
One of the worst suitemates I had was during my final year of college. I was a senior and one of my suitemates (let's call her Amy) was a sophomore. Long story short, we had countless problems with cleanliness because she always had to be reminded to keep the living room and kitchen clean (i.e. dirty dishes, stained counters, crowded fridge, messy floor, etc.). I talked to Amy over 10 times about it and even had an intervention with her, one of our other suitemates, and a RA. The final straw was when she was leaving her clothes in the washing and drying machines for hours when I needed them. She had the nerve to blame me for taking her clothes out if the dryer and putting them in her room even though I asked her to take them out herself. We ended up yelling over top of each other about what we thought of each other as suitemates that day. At that point, I decided to change rooms even though I only has a month and half left on my lease. That's how bad it was for the entire school year. The only reason I didn't do this earlier is because I was in a learning program in which I had to live in a specific dorm and on a specific floor while taking credits.
Oh the crowded fridge. (and ur RA sitch. Wow) A friend called me last night after watching the vid and said his roommate took up every shelf in the fridge w/ their workout meals and got into an argument when my friend asked for a corner of one shelf to put his stuff. How do u not see ur taking up 8 shelves for urself and get mad even if someone else wanted a full one? Or a corner of one?
Having one sister was more than enough to make me realize roommates are NOT a good idea. If you live alone, your money, snacks, shampoo and body wash, and perfume won’t get “borrowed” a lot. 😂😂😂😂😂
I hate how I tell her repeatedly to ask first, and when I use something, there's only enough product to fill the cap. But god forbid I do the same back cause then my parents get involved.
I like the repetition of “all our bills are paid” because I’d have no problems with nobody at that point lol. Shoot, call me Mr clean cause I’d be doing house wife chores on the daily to keep that racket going.
I'm with you. I put a lot of jokes in here, but I do see their point. Them wanting me to contribute to the community and me saying I didn't want to. But also, I was the one who got the ball rolling with the community idea by buying the paper plates but all that aside, WE'RE GETTING $200 A DAY. So the one time I asked shouldn't have had anyone running to the manager the next morning becasueeeee all👏our👏bills👏are👏paid lol
@@swoozieMan I don’t know how you got through that. The puke would have been the nail in the coffin. And after that manager stuff? Fist indeed would have been thrown.
We used to charge a $1 everytime one of the roommates left a mess and put the messy person's infraction money into a pot. At the end of the week/month, the lowest score would win the cash pot.
That sounds nice but it only works with honest people. That setup could easily turn into constant debates about what is or isn't a mess and who actually made. Just one guy could make that a frustrating experience.
This is why I'm glad my roommates and I got things worked out early on. At the begininng of the semester, my jobs were keeping the apartment clean, helping with dishes, helping with apartment decorations, and contributing to cooking and groceries. No one else cleaned the apartment, and I was one of the main contributors to groceries. Snacks you were on your own. I was usually the one who did dishes. And my roommates had to clean their own bathroom and bedroom; that wasn't my problem. They paid for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and trash bags. It worked out pretty well. We had some mishaps with dishes from time to time, but we made it work. Because I worked hard to make the apartment look nice and clean, it became the main hangout for our friend group, and sometimes they dropped in for dinner. I was also one of the few people with a car, so I became the designated driver. If they ever wanted to go out to Whataburger at 1am, they paid for my food since they didn't contribute to gas or insurance.
I hate being the designated driver, I'm glad one of our friends is getting a car soon so I'm not the only one driving our friend group around. It's tiring. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
@@Oceanlinx The cleaning I don't mind since I do that professionally anyway. And I wasn't the only friend with a car; just the only one in our apartment. One of my roommates was legally blind and the other didn't have a license or a car, so I was the default driver. But this was back in college; I'm married now and share responsibilities with my husband. Household duties and bills are more evenly split, but I still do a lot of cleaning :P
Bro I agree. I did exactly that, I put rules, I had my own stuff separate, NEVER “focus on this” NEVER speak and spend allll day in my room with 0 word to roommates, and at the end I was the one to get complaint about because according to them I was too quiet and not social “I swear that was their complaint “ and I don’t go out. Yeah, that was the logic. I like my privacy and I have a thought that if I want my privacy to be taken seriously, I will do the same to my roommate. I will give them their privacy and respect it, but apparently that’s not good idk why, apparently I should be more extra and interfere with their life! I can’t believe this myself when I think about it, but believe it THIS REALLY HAPPENED. And lastly, I LOVE your videos Swoozie ❤and I support you always
That whole "equal contributing to the community" reminds me of going out for dinner with a groups of friends. It ends up with them wanting to split the bills when they spend twice as much as you did.
I told a really good friend I absolutely wouldn't room with them in college because I still wanted to be there friend for years to come. Best decision ever lml
Part of the college rooming experience was an eye opener to me. Had an introverted roommate that would randomly expose me on group chats and call me messy in the most random of ways without ever bringing it up in person. I could have a long conversation with him about some games and we'd be chilling and then I'd see a text on my phone in the group chat about how the trash can smelled like the worst thing he's ever smelled in his entire life. I would look at him and go, "Yo, I'm really sorry about that. I think there was a banana peel in there and one of those cheap ramen I had this morning. I can clean it out if you want?" But then he'd say it's cool but go back to saying how our place smelled awful in the group chat. I felt so embarrassed I took the trash can into our bathtub and scrubbed the whole thing down even though I didn't smell anything. I bought a febreze spray and kept the kitchen clean as much as I could, but of course.... I'd see texts every now and then about some random complaint. I always thought it was kinda weird how he never approached me in person to work things out. Pretty much stopped hanging out with him after that.
ironically i feel as if your discibing the swoozie with this guy. doesnt socialize, complains about how the trash isnt thrown out, dirty plates, puke on the sink, but probably never ever talked with his room mates about it and just does his own thing instead of working together and fixing it. i had a room mate like that too, i live with 3 others and we had that problem with one person, talked behind our back about how dirty it is and complained about us to others and we wouldnt hear about it untill we heard from someone "you this person said this about you guys, thought you should know" while the 3 of us would talk it out and fixed the problems we had living together in about 3 months time and we lived somewhat in sink.
@@shemshem9998 Yeah, lowkey I did feel bad for Swoozie, but I was wondering if he ever just talked with his room mates about the toilet paper thing instead of hiding them. Like... It felt weird that he would even take the Cheezits out of the pantry. If he wasn't going to eat it without asking first he could've just left it there and came back for it when he got the green light. But that aside I'm glad my room mates for the rest of college were super good at confronting any issues they had. Literally made like 2-3 complaints at the beginning and then never again because we knew what to do and what was not cool.
@@Pkedya2boynah man these dudes just dumb asf. Getting mad at the one roommate who don’t cause no problems over some snacks. If they are getting paid 200 dollars a day what is there to be mad about? And the type of person swoozie is he’d probably buy them some more when he could.
This literally sounds like YOU were the problem. Why tf you gotta learn or hear from others how to pull your own weight. Your parents should've taught you better.
@@RubixKyuub yeah fair point. I ain't calling Swoozie a bad guy here. I love the dude to death and I'm sure he would've done the right thing every time. I was just questioning the decision making part is all. I'm sure he was being considerate of his room mate which is why he didn't open the box.
I've lived with roommates as well, but they were successful. Certain nuances like taking out the trash annoy us because we didn't set the ground rules. I established the ground rules and we were good from there.
There are people who will be a good friend to you, a good lover to you, a good coworker, a good roommate, but not necessarily all four. You just have to find out as you go, communicate your boundaries and listen to theirs with empathy and mutual respect.
It’s SCARY how accurate this is. The trash, the dishes, the paper plates I bought and barely got to use. The only thing I didnt experience is the toilet paper cuz we all had our own bathrooms 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah, I can't do roommates either. I can barely stand living with my siblings. You're such a good story-teller Swoozie. I could feel myself getting angry with your roommates. I was LIVID!
what surprises me about swoozie the most is his Self discipline and control over his emotions i’m pretty sure if this happened to any other person they would go crazy
@@rundown132Lay off the devils lettuce, but if he was such such a bad person wouldn’t he be exposed by now? bro has been on youtube for 15 years and hangs out with a bunch of celebrities and models. if he was terrible someone would’ve been made a “SWOOZIE EXPOSED” video
I had a roommate that would eat my food all the time. I had to talk to him about it repeatedly. Finally I got fed up and told him the next time he did it i was going to throw his stuff in the trash. It didn't take long before I had to make good on my promise. He was pissed but he never touched my stuff again!
Everyone needs to have roommates as an adult outside of school with bills to pay and unable to afford anything else. It gives you an appreciation for cleanliness, your own place, and dealing with other people that you're stuck with. It's difficult trying to explain this to people who have never been in this situation in adulthood.
Nah I feel this cuz I had the whole college dorm experience. Roommate was the worst. Got lectured like 3 times cuz her side of the room looked like her closet exploded. She’d ask me to play my music lower then hers is so loud I couldn’t hear my own. I had to leave the room when she made phone calls but I was legit in the middle of an assignment (and wifi was bad in other places). She complained if I had the door locked and she forgot her key….the lock was cuz she’d often send her MALE FRIENDS to get something for her from our room. I can keep going cuz legit I never went another roommate. Worst experience ever
Had a flatmate once at uni who threw herself a birthday party in our flat after she'd moved out of uni- I walk in a few days later from being home for a week and there's a whole cake face down on the floor, spilled drinks, cigarette butts and a picture of her face on the wall. I then asked her to clean it up, she said yes but left the next day. Never wanted to punch a picture so much in my life- Cleaning it up took 4 hours out of my day. This video brought back some bad memories lmao. Great video swooze and would love to see some more roomate videos man!
Lived with some roommates at uni and it was basically the same with them saying I didn't contribute when I only ate outland never went in the kitchen. Got a bit worse to the point they would harass me, bang on my door and take my stuff. Ended up moving out and living with a friend and just one person plus someone I knew was way better 😅
Stuff like this is why I actively refused to room with my best friend when it was time to get our own places, he's my bro but dude can be super unreliable, last thing I'd want to do is get into an argument over rent and ruin a near decade friendship.
I almost got a roommate until I saw how unfazed the roommate was taking pictures of the bathroom with towels on the bathroom ground, boxes laid out on counter tops and more clutter everywhere else. Completely disgusting and it would irritate me as well if I was rooming with this roommate. I’m better off living by myself and I take full responsibility over my actions than to deal with someone else’s mistakes they refuse to take ownership over putting the blame on me for. I completely understand this Swoozie.
Funny how I’m planning on getting an apartment at some point with my soon-to-be roommate and this video decides to grace me with its presence. Thanks Swoozie! 👍😄
Swoozie hit the nail on the head. This is why I can’t do roommates after my first one even when my friends asked. I’m not a neat freak but I am very clean a lot of people my age (I’m in my 20s and I mean both guys and girls) are NASTY!! That garbage thing would’ve had me moving out ASAP second, it’s always when you remove yourself and don’t wanna contribute to their mess that they get upset, why am I contributing to chaos with non courteous people?? It makes no sense, I’m good.
When I first left home I was so motivate to become an adult. I cleaned, I worked out, I tried hard at work, and tried hard to make new friends in a new city. I even would clean up after my room mate for the first 4 months. Other than the shitload of effort I had to put in everyday, it was pretty nice, until I finally got burnt out and said, fuckit, I'm just going to cleanup after myself. Fast forward a couple months and my roommate actually has the audacity to complain about how disgusting the house is. I tell him that I always clean up after myself, and yet he still accuses me of causing it. Even though I clean everything as soon as I use it, and he is the one that has to "soak" his dishes. He even complained once that I cleaned up and said I deliberately chose to not clean his dishes. Its actually insane. Whatever you do, don't live with people that are addicted to videogames or alcohol.
I am one of those nasty people however I take out all the food and keep my mess on my side of the room. The trash is mostly plastic and stuff that won't attract bugs
The worst part about sharing a pantry/ fridge is, you don't know what's for everyone and what's personal. Often when somethings bought it remains unopen for weeks so the buyer isn't even eating it but gets mad when you finally do.
I've heard a few stories like this from people in these gamer/streamer house situations. The enemy is the ones that like a clean and functioning environment unless someone is OD nasty lol.
I swear I had the exact same experience my 2nd year of college. I had learned from my freshmen year to get yourself EVERYTHING. And pretty much the same shit happened. “Oh bro you don’t help with anything” and my response would be “cuz I don’t use anything”. It got so toxic I would just sleep at my friends dorms because my roommates couldn’t understand that I wasn’t about to clean up after them. Not to mention I’m a very clean person and my roommates were borderline savages. Like how is the entire kitchen a mess after you cooked microwave ramen??
I once had a roommate insist with all seriousness that I should do his dishes too. He noticed we were having a dish problem and came up with a system that cycled who did the dishes every day throughout the week. When I pointed out that I do my dishes immediately after using them and those were all his, he threw a fit. I've had good roommates but 99% of them are trash. Hate that the current economy requires them.
Man we're on the same wavelength, there was so much drama in my college apartment about pretty much the same stuff even though I bought all my own stuff, kept it in my room, took out my own trash, its ridiculous! So glad I got my own place now.
I’da been like “let’s talk in your office when you have some time so I can give the full truth to this story” to the manager cuz I KNOW I ain’t getting shit for STAYING IN MY OWN LANE WHILE LIVING WITH SLOBS
In college me and my friends got an apartment and I never understood why my parents thought it was a bad idea. 3 months in to living with them I found out real quick lol. Great video
From my own experience, I would HIGHLY recommend that you have a conversation with the person/people you move in with PRIOR to moving in together! In my last apartment, I had one roommate and we lived there for FIVE YEARS! 2 room/2 bath and we made it work. The reason we lived together for so long was because he had a brilliant idea before we even moved in. He requested that we have a sit down to go over a few things. Think of it like a roommate interview because we met at the food court in the mall for about 30 minutes. Poor guy had some AWFUL roommates at the time and he was asking questions like he was living in an animal house. "Do you eat someone's food without permission? Do you mess around on someone else's computer when they aren't around? Do you go into someone else's room without permission?" Of course, I don't do any of those things. We never really butted heads unless we had debates over anime or superhero stuff. Our real issues came from property managers who were lousy at their job. Look, bottom line is that you should define the roles in your apartment/dorm with your roommate(s) at the beginning to avoid things irking you as time goes on. If you have an issue with someone, you should bring it up ASAP instead of letting it fester. However, living on your own is WAY BETTER if you can afford to do so!
I had a friend a few years ago, she came to me saying we should be roommates. But I knew her way of living, how dirty she could get, her ‘carefree’ nature with guys, how controlling she can be. Even seeing the way she lived with her parents was a mess, and the dogs she has, I love animals but it was too much for me. Mind you, she didn’t have a lot of friends. Instantly, I rejected the idea and I told her, I would go crazy living with her 😂 Her and I relationship wasn’t the best from my point of view, so I just imagined every scenario that could go wrong. Our friendship dies out and I still have no regrets over it. My mental state improved and I’m simply striving for my personal goals
You have undoubtedly hit the nail on the head with this video. Granted, back then AND now, I've had both good and sh*tty room/housemates. Since pre-Day 1, I have done the following: -Tagged my food, toiletries and HHG (household goods) -Sealed/locked them up -Secretly record every interaction with said individuals -Invested in acoustic sound deafening foam panels -Bought a 2nd fridge for the basement with an intricate lock I'm certain I have more, but it's too much to list on here. Anywhoozies (yes, love your videos I'm taking a page from your book
YUP. literally same for me with the dishes and the toilet paper. and I was constantly the "friendly problem solver" and then I got tired of it because I couldn't keep holding everyone responsible for their shit while working 2 jobs and going to school and never getting enough sleep, that created my first meltdown in my life, and some good friendships ended. Memories!
This sounds like every roommate I've ever had 😂 things I've had to hide from my roommates: toilet paper, paper towels, money, food, my car keys, pens, batteries, glasses, towels, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, makeup, my video games/gaming equipment, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner... people are wild.
@@doughnut_ritual yup. Thought one of them might be stealing from me, left my laptop recording when I went to go shower, caught them on video stealing cash out of my wallet.
I once had a roommate who lost an argument to a cookie monster doll. The same roommate thought it was normal to store leftover pizza in the oven. Like leave it in the pizza box, and place it in the oven. Yeah, I don't talk with them anymore.
Man I loved living with friends. Best time of my life was living with 5 friends in one house. Parties, Playstation, beer, drugs. There was always something happening. I miss it
I feel that whole dishes thing. Anything I use, is cleaned immediately (or I just use a paper plate or something) and my roommates be piling up dishes making a shitty disgusting pile of dishes that smells, them will be like "Hey it's totally your turn to do the dishes" like nah how about you clean up after yourself and not expect other people to do it for you.
The crazy thing is that dishwashers are actually good, but a lot of people refuse to learn how to use them. I know someone that thinks they have to fully clean the dishes first and then put them in the dishwasher. I know others that just flatout refuse to put their dish in the dishwasher, despite me telling them multiple times to do so. One of them refuses to put the dishes away if he opens the dishwasher when they are clean making it impossible to tell if the dishes are clean or dirty. One loves to use one of those scrubbing brushes instead of just using a sponge, I guess because he needs to have disgusting hands and hates to touch soap or water. Its so easy. You scrape the large food pieces off the dish, give it a quick splash of water and then load it in the dishwasher. Then, whatever you do don't stack the plates right next to each other. There needs to be room for the water to get between the plates to clean them. It doesn't matter if you have to run the dishwasher with it being half full because dishwashers are so much more efficient at using a water than washing by hand. My one room mate literally thinks that dishwashers can't clean food off dishes because he stacks the plates together. Its so incredibly easy to use a dishwasher that nothing should be sitting in the sink. Also. You should always clean your pots and pans right after using them. None of this soaking bullshit. Its always easier to clean pots or pans before they get cold, and you just cooked your food, you don't need to eat it right a way, its hot and it won't magically be ice cold because you waited a couple minutes before eating it. Soaking dishes is the easiest way to get an insect problem, because that's all the food and water they need to reproduce like crazy. Also, who fucking wants to be forced to wash pots or pans before cooking something. Cooking is already inconvenient, why make it even harder to get started. Also if you get good at cooking you'll be able to clean pots and pans while you are waiting for your food to cook, so you'll never get bored waiting around for it to cook, and you won't have to worry about your food getting cold while you clean the pots and pans after cooking.
Im a flight attendant and i live at a crashpad, which is like this life BUT thank goodness SO FAR my roommates arent like this! Thnaks for making me laugh :)

I’m so glad I have 3 roommates that were raised by immigrant parents including myself. The 18 years of home training really paid off; the crib is consistently clean, whoever was closest to the trash took it out, we cleaned after ourselves after we cooked food, if someone needed something, they’d just ask and it was never an issue, we planned twice a month to fully clean the residence and laundry since we were all on the soccer team for our university, plan groceries and plan “missions”.
I understood how lucky I got when we went to our other teammates res and saw that it was consistently a mess.
Exactly same w me bro , respectfully it be the white people that act like that fr that’s what I’ve noticed
same
Man I hate that shit where people gang up on you and lie about you just because you want to be left alone. I've had roommates tell so much nonsense to the landlord about me I actually started crying. You KNOW none of that is true, how can you lie so blatantly just because I sit in my room all day and don't wanna watch some stupid reality show nonsense on Netflix with yall?
Same. Regarding the last sentence, I always put so much thought into my recommendations, I compare it to many different things I've enjoyed, I read reviews, and I even think about whether the person I'm recommending it to will like it. Meanwhile my one room mate loves to hype shit up because he's an extrovert so he exaggerates everything, and he will just recommend shit that he randomly saw without putting a single ounce of effort into figuring out if its good or not. I swear every fucking thing he's ever recommended has been hot garbage and such a waste of my time, and yet he gets visibly upset when I say I don't want to watch or play a game that he recommends we watch or play together.
regarding that last sentence, i understand that your room mates are frustrated with you. i wouldnt start lying or talking to a larndlord or anything like that, but your not being a room mate. if you decide to "sit in my room all day" your not being a room mate, you want a fun room mate, if you live with someone you want to actually live with that someone and have fun. so bascilly your room mates want to have fun with you, meybe put some effort into oginizing stuff etc, and all you do is say no and refuse?
its like being forced into a marrige and the only thing you and your partner do is get married. sure your married, but you dont go on dates, you dont have sex, you dont want to have children, all you have is a piece of paper saying that your married but you refuse to do anything. if your going to be stuck with this person at least led it be a fun person who you can have a good time with, if your stuck with them lets at least have fun.
its not always about what you like or what they like but just doing things together, so whats its a shitty show, your not going to sit next to each other in silence the entire time, your going to talk, make jokes, just spend some time together. i could also sit in my room and only eat my own food, but yet i still go and have house food nights together even though i might like their cooking less, i still watch shows with them even if its only to make fun of how bad the show is.
@@shemshem9998 nah, my dude a room mate is there to help you pay bills most of the time not be your bff. Also, it has nothing to do with being married, that's a piss poor comparison. You sound like you'd be an annoying roommate.
@@shemshem9998 maybe i have Asperger and don't like to socialize? The housing situation forces me to share a house with others but it shouldn't force me to interact with you
In college, I used to have neighbors talk trash about my roommates and I claiming we were really loud, always blasted the TV, and were always causing problems. Thankfully, one of our RAs lived right next door and said he knew the complaints were bs because he almost never heard us. Meanwhile, these same neighbors were dragging furniture and screaming at 2am, would have all their lights out whenever we dropped by to politely ask them to keep it down, and after about a month, it became pretty obvious they just wanted to get us kicked out because they were doing drugs and having sex and didn't want us to report them since it wasn't allowed on campus. We didn't report them (since we didn't have any real proof), but our RA started ignoring all our neighbors' complaints against us when they started making noise complaints when none of us were home, so that was nice
The trash issue drove me nuts when I had roommates too. I would get home from work and immediately take out the trash, then I would hear “I was just about to do that!” Like they couldn’t do it during the 8 hours I was at work.
Yeaaaah 🙄 Hypocrisy. 😑 I hate that sooooo much!!!
Wonder how'd it go if you told them "sorry. I'll let you do trash next time okay?" Then have your own separate trash and watch theirs pile up so that they would stop feeling "guilty" 🙂 (excuse the pettiness lol)
Between college dorms and apartment life for a few years, the drama of roommates makes living by yourself that much more peaceful. Another reason why I'm in NO RUSH to get married because that's your 'forever roommate' ya know before you have kids leading to even MORE roommate drama than ever!
When I lived with my friends at one point, I was so over the drama with them that I said “After this I don’t want to live with another person until my husband…..and I don’t even want him yet”. I lived by myself for 3 years and it was wonderful, now I’m getting married in 2 months and even though it’s hard at times it’s definitely better with your partner compared to friends lol.
During my first semester at a four year. My roommates were Brazilian and they were on the soccer team. Real cool guys but I just have to tell you I had morning classes and I am trying to sleep. It was 3am and three of them were yelling while they were playing COD (I get it because I’m a dude as well) but the simple fact that they didn’t consider the fact I have to get up and go to class was really pissing me off. They were nasty too. Leaving their clothes on the floor, hygiene products left unopened from time to time in the bathroom and they would sleep all day because they took night classes. I learned to share a room and a bed because I have siblings and family members to share with growing up. But those four months were ridiculous 😂
Yeah, the ability to see eye to eye on acceptable cleanliness is probably the single most important trait a roommate can have. Also you'd think 20+ year olds will be able to do dishes/take out trash/etc themselves but having a rotating chore schedule is insanely useful in guaranteeing this happens. Lived with a guy who made us follow a schedule like that and it ended up being amazing.
My roommate ptsd is flaring up rn 😅

I had a horrible roomate in college. She had a bit of an arrogant personality while I was much more of a passive introvert. There's one thing that'll always cheer me up about it: we both had cats, but she was out more often, closed her bedroom door at night to leave her cat outside of it, and rarely cleaned their litter. After all was said and done, her cat liked me more. It would sleep on my bed beside my cat and would often go under my bed as a hiding spot. It may have been a horrible school year, but it gives me evil satisfaction that even though my roomate hated me and called me a horrible roomate, her cat would miss me after I left because I was a better owner.
You should have stole her cat!!! You deserve the cat not her!!!!! ❤❤❤

One of the worst suitemates I had was during my final year of college. I was a senior and one of my suitemates (let's call her Amy) was a sophomore. Long story short, we had countless problems with cleanliness because she always had to be reminded to keep the living room and kitchen clean (i.e. dirty dishes, stained counters, crowded fridge, messy floor, etc.). I talked to Amy over 10 times about it and even had an intervention with her, one of our other suitemates, and a RA. The final straw was when she was leaving her clothes in the washing and drying machines for hours when I needed them. She had the nerve to blame me for taking her clothes out if the dryer and putting them in her room even though I asked her to take them out herself. We ended up yelling over top of each other about what we thought of each other as suitemates that day. At that point, I decided to change rooms even though I only has a month and half left on my lease. That's how bad it was for the entire school year. The only reason I didn't do this earlier is because I was in a learning program in which I had to live in a specific dorm and on a specific floor while taking credits.
Oh the crowded fridge. (and ur RA sitch. Wow) A friend called me last night after watching the vid and said his roommate took up every shelf in the fridge w/ their workout meals and got into an argument when my friend asked for a corner of one shelf to put his stuff. How do u not see ur taking up 8 shelves for urself and get mad even if someone else wanted a full one? Or a corner of one?
Having one sister was more than enough to make me realize roommates are NOT a good idea. If you live alone, your money, snacks, shampoo and body wash, and perfume won’t get “borrowed” a lot. 😂😂😂😂😂
I've had the same bottle of shampoo for a year. Still halfway full
@@wokeilBro does not wash his hair
@@acespec4713 Bro does but bro uses a safe amount of shampoo (a teaspoon)
neither wll your plates
I hate how I tell her repeatedly to ask first, and when I use something, there's only enough product to fill the cap. But god forbid I do the same back cause then my parents get involved.
Bro didn’t give us no conclusion, left us at the rising action 😭
I like the repetition of “all our bills are paid” because I’d have no problems with nobody at that point lol. Shoot, call me Mr clean cause I’d be doing house wife chores on the daily to keep that racket going.
I'm with you. I put a lot of jokes in here, but I do see their point. Them wanting me to contribute to the community and me saying I didn't want to. But also, I was the one who got the ball rolling with the community idea by buying the paper plates but all that aside, WE'RE GETTING $200 A DAY. So the one time I asked shouldn't have had anyone running to the manager the next morning becasueeeee all👏our👏bills👏are👏paid lol
Yeah, this kinda had my blood boiling lol
@@swoozieMan I don’t know how you got through that. The puke would have been the nail in the coffin. And after that manager stuff? Fist indeed would have been thrown.
@@swoozie did you prove they were lying to the manager?
This is why I have never done the room mate thing, I do not have time for that stupidity.
Dude, my blood pressure went up from this video. Good roommates are like diamonds, cherish them.
We used to charge a $1 everytime one of the roommates left a mess and put the messy person's infraction money into a pot. At the end of the week/month, the lowest score would win the cash pot.
thats pretty cool did people keep the place clean after?
What a good idea
That sounds nice but it only works with honest people. That setup could easily turn into constant debates about what is or isn't a mess and who actually made. Just one guy could make that a frustrating experience.
This is why I'm glad my roommates and I got things worked out early on. At the begininng of the semester, my jobs were keeping the apartment clean, helping with dishes, helping with apartment decorations, and contributing to cooking and groceries. No one else cleaned the apartment, and I was one of the main contributors to groceries. Snacks you were on your own. I was usually the one who did dishes. And my roommates had to clean their own bathroom and bedroom; that wasn't my problem. They paid for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and trash bags. It worked out pretty well. We had some mishaps with dishes from time to time, but we made it work. Because I worked hard to make the apartment look nice and clean, it became the main hangout for our friend group, and sometimes they dropped in for dinner. I was also one of the few people with a car, so I became the designated driver. If they ever wanted to go out to Whataburger at 1am, they paid for my food since they didn't contribute to gas or insurance.
So you did everything basically 😭
I hate being the designated driver, I'm glad one of our friends is getting a car soon so I'm not the only one driving our friend group around. It's tiring. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
@@Oceanlinx The cleaning I don't mind since I do that professionally anyway. And I wasn't the only friend with a car; just the only one in our apartment. One of my roommates was legally blind and the other didn't have a license or a car, so I was the default driver. But this was back in college; I'm married now and share responsibilities with my husband. Household duties and bills are more evenly split, but I still do a lot of cleaning :P
Damn you pretty much did everything
hate being the designated driver tbh
swoozie never fails to deliver
Never
facts
Deliver a baby
Deliver his mail.
Bro I agree. I did exactly that, I put rules, I had my own stuff separate, NEVER “focus on this” NEVER speak and spend allll day in my room with 0 word to roommates, and at the end I was the one to get complaint about because according to them I was too quiet and not social “I swear that was their complaint “ and I don’t go out.
Yeah, that was the logic.
I like my privacy and I have a thought that if I want my privacy to be taken seriously, I will do the same to my roommate. I will give them their privacy and respect it, but apparently that’s not good idk why, apparently I should be more extra and interfere with their life!
I can’t believe this myself when I think about it, but believe it THIS REALLY HAPPENED.
And lastly, I LOVE your videos Swoozie ❤and I support you always
Swoozie is right, I grew up with my two sisters those were my roommates and when I moved out living alone was the best decision I made hahaha
That whole "equal contributing to the community" reminds me of going out for dinner with a groups of friends. It ends up with them wanting to split the bills when they spend twice as much as you did.
That sounds like a you not setting limits problem bro
@@higherquality not me😂 Hell nah, I'm not paying more because of other people. This is a scenario I've seen other people go through
@@mellory2337 nah bro if you establish a limit of like €10 to split, anything more they have to pay up themselves

Exactly bro!
Word 🎉
I told a really good friend I absolutely wouldn't room with them in college because I still wanted to be there friend for years to come. Best decision ever lml
Part of the college rooming experience was an eye opener to me.
Had an introverted roommate that would randomly expose me on group chats and call me messy in the most random of ways without ever bringing it up in person. I could have a long conversation with him about some games and we'd be chilling and then I'd see a text on my phone in the group chat about how the trash can smelled like the worst thing he's ever smelled in his entire life. I would look at him and go, "Yo, I'm really sorry about that. I think there was a banana peel in there and one of those cheap ramen I had this morning. I can clean it out if you want?" But then he'd say it's cool but go back to saying how our place smelled awful in the group chat. I felt so embarrassed I took the trash can into our bathtub and scrubbed the whole thing down even though I didn't smell anything.
I bought a febreze spray and kept the kitchen clean as much as I could, but of course.... I'd see texts every now and then about some random complaint. I always thought it was kinda weird how he never approached me in person to work things out. Pretty much stopped hanging out with him after that.
ironically i feel as if your discibing the swoozie with this guy. doesnt socialize, complains about how the trash isnt thrown out, dirty plates, puke on the sink, but probably never ever talked with his room mates about it and just does his own thing instead of working together and fixing it.
i had a room mate like that too, i live with 3 others and we had that problem with one person, talked behind our back about how dirty it is and complained about us to others and we wouldnt hear about it untill we heard from someone "you this person said this about you guys, thought you should know" while the 3 of us would talk it out and fixed the problems we had living together in about 3 months time and we lived somewhat in sink.
@@shemshem9998 Yeah, lowkey I did feel bad for Swoozie, but I was wondering if he ever just talked with his room mates about the toilet paper thing instead of hiding them. Like... It felt weird that he would even take the Cheezits out of the pantry. If he wasn't going to eat it without asking first he could've just left it there and came back for it when he got the green light. But that aside I'm glad my room mates for the rest of college were super good at confronting any issues they had. Literally made like 2-3 complaints at the beginning and then never again because we knew what to do and what was not cool.
@@Pkedya2boynah man these dudes just dumb asf. Getting mad at the one roommate who don’t cause no problems over some snacks. If they are getting paid 200 dollars a day what is there to be mad about? And the type of person swoozie is he’d probably buy them some more when he could.
This literally sounds like YOU were the problem. Why tf you gotta learn or hear from others how to pull your own weight. Your parents should've taught you better.
@@RubixKyuub yeah fair point. I ain't calling Swoozie a bad guy here. I love the dude to death and I'm sure he would've done the right thing every time. I was just questioning the decision making part is all. I'm sure he was being considerate of his room mate which is why he didn't open the box.
I admire the integrity it took to tell a story and just be up front about being the bad guy in it.
Sharing an apartment with my sister was the best ..got all our drama out when we were kids so as adults we understood each other .❤
I've lived with roommates as well, but they were successful. Certain nuances like taking out the trash annoy us because we didn't set the ground rules. I established the ground rules and we were good from there.
Same here
From “no tea no shade”
To “all tea more shade”
Immaculate 🙌🏾
There are people who will be a good friend to you, a good lover to you, a good coworker, a good roommate, but not necessarily all four. You just have to find out as you go, communicate your boundaries and listen to theirs with empathy and mutual respect.
The best way to ruin a "friendship" is by living together.
This video is what i needed to fully convince me to move out on my own even if it cost a little more. You can't put a price on peace of mind
It’s SCARY how accurate this is. The trash, the dishes, the paper plates I bought and barely got to use. The only thing I didnt experience is the toilet paper cuz we all had our own bathrooms 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah, I can't do roommates either. I can barely stand living with my siblings.
You're such a good story-teller Swoozie. I could feel myself getting angry with your roommates. I was LIVID!
what surprises me about swoozie the most is his Self discipline and control over his emotions
i’m pretty sure if this happened to any other person they would go crazy
also swoozie has been Lied to and cheated on but he stills treats people with kindness and forgives them
You guys dont know him in person, lol.
@@rundown132it’s just one guy replying to his own comment

Your roommates were snakes, that move at the end was classic.
I had a roommate that would eat my food all the time. I had to talk to him about it repeatedly. Finally I got fed up and told him the next time he did it i was going to throw his stuff in the trash. It didn't take long before I had to make good on my promise. He was pissed but he never touched my stuff again!
Serves him right
Everybody would’ve had to catch a fade. DO NOT lie on me😭
Everyone needs to have roommates as an adult outside of school with bills to pay and unable to afford anything else. It gives you an appreciation for cleanliness, your own place, and dealing with other people that you're stuck with.
It's difficult trying to explain this to people who have never been in this situation in adulthood.
Never been in this
Hopefully never will be
Nah, I grew up with younger siblings. I knew as soon as I moved out that I was never getting roommates. Best decision I ever made.
Nah I feel this cuz I had the whole college dorm experience. Roommate was the worst. Got lectured like 3 times cuz her side of the room looked like her closet exploded. She’d ask me to play my music lower then hers is so loud I couldn’t hear my own. I had to leave the room when she made phone calls but I was legit in the middle of an assignment (and wifi was bad in other places). She complained if I had the door locked and she forgot her key….the lock was cuz she’d often send her MALE FRIENDS to get something for her from our room. I can keep going cuz legit I never went another roommate. Worst experience ever
Had a flatmate once at uni who threw herself a birthday party in our flat after she'd moved out of uni- I walk in a few days later from being home for a week and there's a whole cake face down on the floor, spilled drinks, cigarette butts and a picture of her face on the wall. I then asked her to clean it up, she said yes but left the next day. Never wanted to punch a picture so much in my life- Cleaning it up took 4 hours out of my day. This video brought back some bad memories lmao. Great video swooze and would love to see some more roomate videos man!
I'm realizing the good ones live alone and they even saying no to you too
Lived with some roommates at uni and it was basically the same with them saying I didn't contribute when I only ate outland never went in the kitchen. Got a bit worse to the point they would harass me, bang on my door and take my stuff. Ended up moving out and living with a friend and just one person plus someone I knew was way better 😅
Sounds like maturity issues, not as much roomates.
This is why if you have a partner, you test the roommate situation first before you get married. It saves a lot of sanity.
Nah, get married and have kids immediately. It works out every time!
Nah only move in after you get married. And then divorce 6 months later when you realize how incompatible you two are.
@@XXXXX8Lol the biggest lie ever told!
4:47 "I already thought about all this on day 2" 🤣 the realest part
Stuff like this is why I actively refused to room with my best friend when it was time to get our own places, he's my bro but dude can be super unreliable, last thing I'd want to do is get into an argument over rent and ruin a near decade friendship.
I almost got a roommate until I saw how unfazed the roommate was taking pictures of the bathroom with towels on the bathroom ground, boxes laid out on counter tops and more clutter everywhere else.
Completely disgusting and it would irritate me as well if I was rooming with this roommate.
I’m better off living by myself and I take full responsibility over my actions than to deal with someone else’s mistakes they refuse to take ownership over putting the blame on me for.
I completely understand this Swoozie.
Swoozie never makes me disappointed
9:15 fax I’ve been roommates with my best friend for every school trip we go on and he’s definitely gonna be an awful roommate in the future
As a 22 man whose on done 1 Airbnb with friends, I can safely say this was the most cathartic video I think I’ve watched ever.
Funny how I’m planning on getting an apartment at some point with my soon-to-be roommate and this video decides to grace me with its presence. Thanks Swoozie! 👍😄
Swoozie hit the nail on the head. This is why I can’t do roommates after my first one even when my friends asked. I’m not a neat freak but I am very clean a lot of people my age (I’m in my 20s and I mean both guys and girls) are NASTY!! That garbage thing would’ve had me moving out ASAP second, it’s always when you remove yourself and don’t wanna contribute to their mess that they get upset, why am I contributing to chaos with non courteous people?? It makes no sense, I’m good.
When I first left home I was so motivate to become an adult. I cleaned, I worked out, I tried hard at work, and tried hard to make new friends in a new city. I even would clean up after my room mate for the first 4 months. Other than the shitload of effort I had to put in everyday, it was pretty nice, until I finally got burnt out and said, fuckit, I'm just going to cleanup after myself. Fast forward a couple months and my roommate actually has the audacity to complain about how disgusting the house is. I tell him that I always clean up after myself, and yet he still accuses me of causing it. Even though I clean everything as soon as I use it, and he is the one that has to "soak" his dishes. He even complained once that I cleaned up and said I deliberately chose to not clean his dishes. Its actually insane.
Whatever you do, don't live with people that are addicted to videogames or alcohol.
I am one of those nasty people however I take out all the food and keep my mess on my side of the room. The trash is mostly plastic and stuff that won't attract bugs
The worst part about sharing a pantry/ fridge is, you don't know what's for everyone and what's personal. Often when somethings bought it remains unopen for weeks so the buyer isn't even eating it but gets mad when you finally do.
I've heard a few stories like this from people in these gamer/streamer house situations. The enemy is the ones that like a clean and functioning environment unless someone is OD nasty lol.
I swear I had the exact same experience my 2nd year of college. I had learned from my freshmen year to get yourself EVERYTHING. And pretty much the same shit happened. “Oh bro you don’t help with anything” and my response would be “cuz I don’t use anything”. It got so toxic I would just sleep at my friends dorms because my roommates couldn’t understand that I wasn’t about to clean up after them. Not to mention I’m a very clean person and my roommates were borderline savages. Like how is the entire kitchen a mess after you cooked microwave ramen??
I just moved into a new apartment with roommates and I feel this on a personal level.
After living with roommates for my first year of college, you can really tell who has home training and who doesn’t
Swoozie back right when we need him ❤
I once had a roommate insist with all seriousness that I should do his dishes too. He noticed we were having a dish problem and came up with a system that cycled who did the dishes every day throughout the week. When I pointed out that I do my dishes immediately after using them and those were all his, he threw a fit.
I've had good roommates but 99% of them are trash. Hate that the current economy requires them.
Being a good roommate requires a level of consideration for other people that sadly many don't have.
Moving into college dorm 2 weeks from now. Wasn't anxious about it but after watching this video I am.
If you guys set up a weekly rotation for taking out the trash it might be a good start to peace :)
I've never felt so seen in one of Swoozie's videos. Thanks for preaching the truth dude!
I want to believe that this memory was buried until something in Swoozie’s life triggered it
I can believe it lols 😭😭😭
Man we're on the same wavelength, there was so much drama in my college apartment about pretty much the same stuff even though I bought all my own stuff, kept it in my room, took out my own trash, its ridiculous! So glad I got my own place now.
I’da been like “let’s talk in your office when you have some time so I can give the full truth to this story” to the manager cuz I KNOW I ain’t getting shit for STAYING IN MY OWN LANE WHILE LIVING WITH SLOBS
And this is why I enjoy living alone. I don't have to worry about anyone else's mess or dramas.
In college me and my friends got an apartment and I never understood why my parents thought it was a bad idea. 3 months in to living with them I found out real quick lol. Great video
Taking out trash is one of the lowest effort chores. You just take out the bag and put it wherever it goes outside. ZERO EFFORT.
From my own experience, I would HIGHLY recommend that you have a conversation with the person/people you move in with PRIOR to moving in together!
In my last apartment, I had one roommate and we lived there for FIVE YEARS! 2 room/2 bath and we made it work. The reason we lived together for so long was because he had a brilliant idea before we even moved in. He requested that we have a sit down to go over a few things. Think of it like a roommate interview because we met at the food court in the mall for about 30 minutes.
Poor guy had some AWFUL roommates at the time and he was asking questions like he was living in an animal house. "Do you eat someone's food without permission? Do you mess around on someone else's computer when they aren't around? Do you go into someone else's room without permission?" Of course, I don't do any of those things.
We never really butted heads unless we had debates over anime or superhero stuff. Our real issues came from property managers who were lousy at their job. Look, bottom line is that you should define the roles in your apartment/dorm with your roommate(s) at the beginning to avoid things irking you as time goes on. If you have an issue with someone, you should bring it up ASAP instead of letting it fester.
However, living on your own is WAY BETTER if you can afford to do so!
I had a friend a few years ago, she came to me saying we should be roommates. But I knew her way of living, how dirty she could get, her ‘carefree’ nature with guys, how controlling she can be. Even seeing the way she lived with her parents was a mess, and the dogs she has, I love animals but it was too much for me. Mind you, she didn’t have a lot of friends. Instantly, I rejected the idea and I told her, I would go crazy living with her 😂 Her and I relationship wasn’t the best from my point of view, so I just imagined every scenario that could go wrong. Our friendship dies out and I still have no regrets over it. My mental state improved and I’m simply striving for my personal goals
You have undoubtedly hit the nail on the head with this video. Granted, back then AND now, I've had both good and sh*tty room/housemates. Since pre-Day 1, I have done the following:
-Tagged my food, toiletries and HHG (household goods)
-Sealed/locked them up
-Secretly record every interaction with said individuals
-Invested in acoustic sound deafening foam panels
-Bought a 2nd fridge for the basement with an intricate lock
I'm certain I have more, but it's too much to list on here. Anywhoozies (yes, love your videos I'm taking a page from your book
YUP. literally same for me with the dishes and the toilet paper. and I was constantly the "friendly problem solver" and then I got tired of it because I couldn't keep holding everyone responsible for their shit while working 2 jobs and going to school and never getting enough sleep, that created my first meltdown in my life, and some good friendships ended. Memories!
Please tell me you clapped back 😂 I need part 2 after that conversation with the manager
This sounds like every roommate I've ever had 😂 things I've had to hide from my roommates: toilet paper, paper towels, money, food, my car keys, pens, batteries, glasses, towels, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, makeup, my video games/gaming equipment, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner... people are wild.
hold on they taking money from you 😮
@@doughnut_ritual yup. Thought one of them might be stealing from me, left my laptop recording when I went to go shower, caught them on video stealing cash out of my wallet.
That's why having your own room only for yourself is a lot better.
I once had a roommate who lost an argument to a cookie monster doll. The same roommate thought it was normal to store leftover pizza in the oven. Like leave it in the pizza box, and place it in the oven. Yeah, I don't talk with them anymore.
Before I even watch the video I instantly slap the like button. I can only do this for Swoozie, he never disappoints!
thank you this is litteraly my roomate last year
Man I loved living with friends. Best time of my life was living with 5 friends in one house. Parties, Playstation, beer, drugs. There was always something happening. I miss it
Love the happy stories. I don't hear them often but when I do I try to live vicariously
@@swoozie That's probably the more healthy way to do it too hah!
I had roommates like this and it was awful lol. and you end up blaming yourself in the moment and feeling bad until you actually look at it
Ideal situation and there was still fights now imagine sharing the bills and groceries with people you just met. it's almost always gonna be terrible
SWOOZIE I LOVE HOW YOU USE THE BACKGROUNDS!!! WHEN I TELL YOU IT'S A LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my friends been roommates for 3years and not one issue... You HAVE TO make sure you know how to vet which friends you can room with.
Sharing a home with others will definitely show you who mom raised who better
I feel that whole dishes thing. Anything I use, is cleaned immediately (or I just use a paper plate or something) and my roommates be piling up dishes making a shitty disgusting pile of dishes that smells, them will be like "Hey it's totally your turn to do the dishes" like nah how about you clean up after yourself and not expect other people to do it for you.
The crazy thing is that dishwashers are actually good, but a lot of people refuse to learn how to use them. I know someone that thinks they have to fully clean the dishes first and then put them in the dishwasher. I know others that just flatout refuse to put their dish in the dishwasher, despite me telling them multiple times to do so. One of them refuses to put the dishes away if he opens the dishwasher when they are clean making it impossible to tell if the dishes are clean or dirty. One loves to use one of those scrubbing brushes instead of just using a sponge, I guess because he needs to have disgusting hands and hates to touch soap or water.
Its so easy. You scrape the large food pieces off the dish, give it a quick splash of water and then load it in the dishwasher. Then, whatever you do don't stack the plates right next to each other. There needs to be room for the water to get between the plates to clean them. It doesn't matter if you have to run the dishwasher with it being half full because dishwashers are so much more efficient at using a water than washing by hand. My one room mate literally thinks that dishwashers can't clean food off dishes because he stacks the plates together.
Its so incredibly easy to use a dishwasher that nothing should be sitting in the sink. Also. You should always clean your pots and pans right after using them. None of this soaking bullshit. Its always easier to clean pots or pans before they get cold, and you just cooked your food, you don't need to eat it right a way, its hot and it won't magically be ice cold because you waited a couple minutes before eating it. Soaking dishes is the easiest way to get an insect problem, because that's all the food and water they need to reproduce like crazy. Also, who fucking wants to be forced to wash pots or pans before cooking something. Cooking is already inconvenient, why make it even harder to get started. Also if you get good at cooking you'll be able to clean pots and pans while you are waiting for your food to cook, so you'll never get bored waiting around for it to cook, and you won't have to worry about your food getting cold while you clean the pots and pans after cooking.
I would hate to have you as a roommate.
@@sos2530 why
The “you aren’t contributing” when you’re just doing your own thing in the apartment makes my skin crawl. Ruined a chunk of college for me
I’m at Costco watching this because I locked my keys in my car. Thank you for always cheering me up swooz
I've def been there. What's the plan to getting them out???
@@swooziemove on
Aw, that truly sucks! I hope you have car insurance with roadside asisstsnce, as they might be able to send out a lockpick to help.
Call a locksmith if you can. They can open it. Sometimes they are fast to come. It happened to me.
@@swoozie I had a panic attack then had a friend bring me up my spare. Rough morning but I keep my chin up.
swoozie never fails to deliver. My roommate ptsd is flaring up rn .
Im a flight attendant and i live at a crashpad, which is like this life BUT thank goodness SO FAR my roommates arent like this! Thnaks for making me laugh :)
2:10 reminded me to take out the trash in the bathroom 😂😂😂( we have bathroom schedules)
This why I don’t do roommates like that. I had one roommate like that in college and I could not. Switched so fast. No home training.
everyone tells me i pay too much for rent these days because i live alone, what the don't understand is that i'd rather pay 500€ more for my own flat than having to live with somebody after years of bad roommates.
YOOO SWOOOZ I MISSED YOU MAN, I'm not really having the best time these days, but hearing from you always makes my day better, thanks man, love ya
I hope i never have to deal with roommates
lol. we were pre-exposed to loving cheez-it i didnt know 😂
This a GOOD thing I have a single dorm room cause my introvert game is INFINITE

Lmaooo man this video encapsulates everything I’ve experienced with roommates. That boi SPITTIN.
