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.

OP, why should i pay for my roommate crimes?

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.

One of the major reason why people die untimely is that no one is available in time of emergency and that is enough reason for you to manage the "5 reason you should" and avoid being alone.

And what if the roommate turns out annoying and disgusting? You simple need to weigh your options.

This reminds me of a male friend of mine who's having severe malaria and no one is there with him. I wonder how he copes. Some people are trying anyway.
Using this medium to wish him speedy recovery.

I'm all for staying alone. ........except that roommate is my wife.

As a girl,i wil say many disadvantages are involved. Shikena.

Advantage, u can Masturb8 freely; Disadvantage, u can Masturb8 easily.

i love living alone - you meet your stuff where you left them before going out and there's no one to wrestle the remote control with you because they want to watch kim kardashian during a man utd match.

Nice one.
I enjoy living alone, I usually have friends over a lot, but I love my privacy-I can't joke with that.

Lucky gurl: ...

BUSTED

Hypocrites

CRAP!!!

chucky234: One of the major reason why people die untimely is that no one is available in time of emergency and that is enough reason for you to manage the "5 reason you should" and avoid being alone.

FACT!

Sha everything has a advantange nd disadavantage.

There is nothing like privacy IMO

Very interesting

i lived alone in school and i enjoyed it but one disadvantage to me was that someone had the key to my room and always coming in while am away to steal my things.up till today,i still do not know the person.

living alone is better,but boredom sucks at times.......i live in a very big house alone,but still hang out with friends every weekend cos of boredom......at times,i dont go home for weeks,if not for my fiancee,i would have move out entirely,but she wont hear none of that.

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*

Prefer leaving alone, privacy matters a lot to me

I like living alone. With or without someone, death can come knocking at anytime. I can't shout. Just give me my own space. If I have to live with someone, we need to draw up a legal contract

I like Living without people

Freiburger: OP, why should i pay for my roommate crimes?

my quy! Anythinq can happen in naija

Noted,but number 4 from disadvantage I think I still feel is only in Africa were there's jungle justice it only happen. In western world nobody is going to arest u for a crime committed by ur Roommate.
