Living with roommates isn't easy. We, especially as grown adults, simply were never meant to be sharing living spaces and close quarters with other grown human beings.
This is especially true when you're young and move out of your parent's house for the first time. It turns out many of us at that point have yet to learn the essential basic skills that make a functioning human and half-decent roommate. It's generally appealing how many people don't understand the basics of being respectful of other people, their things, and shared spaces.
Of course, things are simultaneously worse when you're still living with a roommate in your 30s and up. (Thanks, rental prices, and real estate market.) Now, everyone is older, more stubborn, and more cantankerous, and some of these same people still haven't learned the basic lessons that they should have when they first started flatting 10+ years prior. Oh, and did I mention that everyone is way more stubborn?
