26 Little Things You Do That Make You The Perfect Housemate

Everyone has an annoying housemate (and if you don't, we're sorry to report there's a high chance it might be you), whether it's the little things they do that grind your gears (like drinking your milk) or slightly bigger things, like coming home drunk at 5am and squirting Fairy Liquid EVERYWHERE. Even in the toaster. Oh yes, you have all this to come, first years...

So how do you avoid being the housemate people speak about in passive aggressive whispers? You follow this handy little guide, of course. If you can tick off at least half, you're definitely the perfect housemate...

1. You offer cups of tea like there's no tomorrow

2. You understand that sometimes, silence is golden

3. Like when your housemate's had a shit day and DOESN'T want to talk about it

4. Or it's 4am and you've just made the world's best cheese toastie that they've GOT to try... but oh wait they're asleep

5. Swapping clothes and shoes is second nature

6. You're always on hand with awesome fancy dress ideas

7. You realise washing up is just something that a normal person does and shouldn't require angry notes or Whatsapp arguments

8. You know your housemate's parents are coming to visit, so you make an effort to get dressed/leave the house/pick up discarded underwear/say hello

9. You proofread their coursework and try to help when they're stuck

10. You're on hand with advice and life, love and large meat feast pizza toppings

11. You don't put your music on loud past midnight

12. You try your best not to eye up your housemate's younger sibling when they come to visit

13. And at least keep it a secret when you end up getting with them

14. You always leave them some toilet roll

15. You don't steal anyone's washing powder

16. Or their food (OK fine there was that one time but you replaced that muffin the next day!)

17. Or their shower stuff. Even that delicious-smelling stupidly posh strawberry oatmeal body scrub that's been staring at you for WEEKS

18. OK you use a tiny bit on special occasions but they can totally borrow anything of yours

19. You try not to have sex *too* loudly

20. You don't fill the house with your friends from home *every* weekend. Or worse, total strangers

21. You remember to actually shut the front door

22. You always check they got home ok

23. You understand when it's time to get the hell outta there

24. Sometimes you bring home treats... lots of treats

25. Basically, your presence makes the world a better place and they wouldn't have you any other way

26. (Except maybe the strawberry shower scrub thing. That shit's expensive)
