It's fine to have friends over, but be mindful that they don't overstay their welcome. If you have a one-night stand, try to usher that person out before you leave for work the next morning, lest your roommate finds her pouring a bowl of his Captain Crunch and asking if you guys have any almond milk.Also, consider the type of people you have hanging around. For instance, do you commonly associate with people who don't tell you their real names, pass the time by smoking synthetic weed and discussing the numerology, and aren't allowed to see their children? If so, maybe you should go to their places when you're going to spend a few hours looking at a dollar bill with a magnifying glass.Nobody Likes Your Pets as Much as You DoIf it's your pet, then it's your responsibility—so don't pretend not to see that huge pile of animal defecation that little Izzy made after eating a pound of trash because you forgot to feed her. Clean the fucking litter box. Do not expect your roommates to pick up the slack, or to take care of your pet when you're visiting your parents for the weekend—to you your pet is the light of your life, but to everyone else it is a sack of fur attached to a mouth and a poop hole.For instance, there's a cat freeloading in our apartment right now who will piss on any article of clothing left on the bathroom floor and likes to climb into the washing machine when bored, and mostly I worry that it'll break the washing machine one day.
