Advantages & Disadvantages Of Living Alone by Mobsync(m): 3:09pm On Aug 16, 2013 |
5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD. (1). You don't become lonely When you have a roommate you always someone to talk to and hang around with. You rarely get that funny feeling that makes it seem you've been placed under some sort of house arrest or holed up in a fortress. (2). You get to split bills, chores and tasks Rather than living alone in an uncomfortable abode because you can't afford to pay for something better; with a roommate, you get to live in a better environment and simply split the rent. You also get someone to share the house chores and tasks like with. (3). You have someone to call for help and support. You're going for an early morning interview and have no transport fare; you need to purchase some important stuffs and you've got no money; you're coming home late and need a hot place of food on your table as soon as you get home and what else? A roommate's the best bet. (4). You could make a very good friend and build a lifetime relationship. Beat it! Top executives, multimillionaires and all other "ogas at the top" today probably had a roommate at one time or the other in their lives. And if you were a "good" roommmate during the period of habitation, I don't think they would think twice before repaying you. (5). There's someone around in case of emergencies Imagine you slipped in the bathroom and fell into coma or you get knocked down by a heavy bout of malaria or fainted after falling dizzy; fact is, there's a higher possibility of you getting help when you have a roommmate as compared to when you don't. 5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T. (1). You lose your privacy You can't sleep naked, you can't spend a full hour in the bathroom, you can't sing with your coarse voice in the bedroom, you can't watch indecency, masturbate and freely do all other wierd stuffs you love doing. Fact is, your privacy becomes lost the moment touch begin to cohabit with someone else. (2). Your roommate could be pretty annoying and have downright disgusting manners. Have you ever found yourself in a situation whereby you get to leave your bottle of perfume in a certain position whenever you're leaving the house? Or you have to hide your wallet in totally absurd places? Or put a very small piece of paper in your milk's tin lid? Or have to hide your towel in your luggage all because some self acclaimed roommmate's doesn't know that some things are not meant to be shared? Or you've ever lived with someone who spits on the bedroom floor, urinates in the kitchen sink and uses the toilet without flushing? Well, if you haven't, it's only a matter of time- except you live alone. (3). Your roommmate's might gossip, backbite and tell people private things about you You bedwet, wear an underwear for a month, bathe once a week and brush your teeth only on Tuesday mornings? You really ought to be careful if you've got a roommmate, especially if the roommmate's a female (no offence meant) . Your roomie could tell people all these and even feign lies all in a bid to keep a conversion with a third party going or simply because he/she's damned irritated. (4). You could be made to pay for your roommmate's crimes I once lived with a guy who stole a mobile phone from a fellow housemate only to abscond when things went awry. At the end of the day, I almost got arrested if not for the simple fact that I stood my grounds. But for the keeps, others have suffered police detentions, jailterms or even death for crimes committed by their roommmates. (5). Your roommmate might become dependent on you. When you live with some people, you might suddenly find yourself footing all bills, funding all meals, purchasing all items and carrying out all basic house chores that you begin to start wondering why you aren't even living alone in the first place. It's either your roommmate lives WITH you or lives ON you. If he/she lives with you, fine; but if he/she's lives on you, RUN.

Freiburger: OP, why should i pay for my roommate crimes? Haven't you ever heard of neighbours or family members being arrested because one of them commited an offence and suddenly disappeared into the thin air? You can get punished for your roommate's crime because the people seeking him would believe you're hiding him. Besides imagine a situation whereby policemen raid your house and catch your roommate with hemp or stolen goods, don't you know that you yourself would also be arrested since they're not sure whether or not you're an accomplice. 2 Likes |

As far as I'm concerned, there are no disadvantages in living alone. In fact, when and if I get married, I do not mind living in a separate house from my husband Just the thought of living with someone, every single day.... *shudders* 3 Likes |
