I've made some awful mistakes in this department. I was a hasty and rebellious when I was younger, which lead me to make some horrible roommate and housing decisions. I ended up living with a Jewish Princess who would never pull her fair share of the weight in the household. Cooking, cleaning, bills - all of these things were laid almost squarely on my shoulders. She'd get away with anything I'd let her get away with.
Of course, I will own up to being a controlling person. But she seriously had more than HALF of the apartment for her own doing - including the dining room and living room. She never helped with much, and expected me to do it all for her.
She ruined a lot of the things in the apartment this way. Once, she was changing the toilet paper - and she accidentally dropped that little plastic holder into the toilet.
She didn't want to get dirty and APPARENTLY, I wasn't home. SO SHE FLUSHED THE GODDAMN THING DOWN THE TOILET. It RUINED our plumbing. I wasn't about to tell the landlord as it wasn't MY mistake - and she wouldn't own up to it, even though she admitted to it with me.
Being younger, dumber, and not so vigilant as I am today, I didn't bother doing anything about it. I'm sure it cost the landlord a lot of cash to get that shit fixed. =/
Chose your roommates wisely - ESPECIALLY if there's no subletting and you're on a lease. It's a commitment, both financially and mentally. Even the best of friends can end up not talking to each other by the time the place gets through with you.
