re-arranging my stuffi don't mind that you want change it up, but please tell me about it in advance
I'm the type of person who rearranges furniture and cleans cause I can't sleep lol.
I find this interesting, considering I may be about to take on a room mate...

I have a problem with people being "in my space".I feel at best when I'm alone. Anyone who lives with me has to learn to give me my space from time to time and not take it personal when I retreat to my room, close my door, and stay to myself for a while.
How often is 'time to time'?
I had a friend stay with me for 3 months. Never, fucking, again. She left lights on, had her shit everywhere, and never cleaned up after herself.
She was use to having a mom, or her ex-bf take care of her.

Not all the time.
Maybe two days out of the week on average.
It might be more if I'm going through something personal.

That seems pretty reasonable.

- when they don't want to let you put wrestling submission holds on them- claiming "they've had a long day" as an excuse not to be put in a figure four leg lock
- various other pet peeves related to the first two
What happens when their pet peeve is being touched?
dishes.. just clean.. your dish.. when you're done.. please..
Leaving dirty clothes right next to the laundry basket...You mean to tell me you were an inch shy?
Eating the last of something. i don't mind they eat my stuff, just not the last one!
Leaving crap all over the kicthen counter. I'm OCD so it drives me batty.
Using all the TP in the downstairs bathroom and not replacing it.
Living with someone.
Stealing my food (at least ask first, I don't mind sharing).
Not getting their own toiletries and using mine instead.
Leaving half-eaten food laying around in the living room for the ants (even worse if it's my food they leave around).
And leaving dirty dishes in the sink.

Dude, pick up your crap. I can't even think with it all over the place.Also... Take the extra minute to rinse your dish and put it in the dishwasher instead of letting that shit pile up
Right!? At least soak them in hot water if your leaving them in the sink for me to wash. I don't want to have to scrap off dried food.
People eating my food and not contributing to the household.

I love having people over. I don't mind cleaning up after them.My friends know they can crash at my place any time they want. I don't have any strict rules.
The only thing that would bother me is attitude. Keep it light, have fun...No unnecessary gossip!
Sorry, just saw this was in the Gemini section. ?
No worries. I posted this in the Gemini section cause I'm moving in with my Gem. But I'm interested in any and all answers.
I have sooo many.
Leaving lights on
Leaving coffee cups, plates everywhere. Using a new cup, glass etc when you can just wash the one had and reuse
Not picking up after yourself
Leaving cupboard doors open
So many things

If it's an attractive gal, I have non.
So your pet peeve is if she's attractive when you move in and then loses her attractiveness? Common there has to be something.

When someone stacks something on top of something else instead of putting it away. Especially if the something is the garbage, and they leave a leaning tower of garbage for me to knock over. And then I have to touch garbage.
I've had that before. Flatmate refused to throw out the garbage when it was her turn for the week. Myself and another flatmate left it there for her anyway. Week was up, it was piled high, maggots and all. So we ended up having to throw out the garbage anyway because she refused to budge.

I married someone who practically played Tetris with the garbage. MOTHERFUCKER, you are bigger than me. Take that shit out! >😢 LOL
I had a roommate who refused to buy toilet paper for an entire year.

Fuck that noise. I'd be petty as sheeet and bring a roll in with me every time I use the bathroom and back out when I'm finished. Let the bitch air dry.

Look. Look what you did, you made me use sarcasm.
Never, ever, ever live with the landlord.
The best room mates are fluffy.

Oooh I like this. Am sharing my room with a furry friend.
Smothering, being loud when I'm trying to sleep or am sleeping, leaving clutter around all the time, hoarding

What is it?
I'm your polar opposite, but, I struggle not knowing my roommates plans. Will she have people over, will I wake up and find them on my couch when I get ready for work... I'd like a heads up.
