I think the most annoying stuff around my places is my roommate. It's like a battle between north and south. I could say a lot more, but it mostly deals with personality rather than stuff (as I guess is the topic) so I have listed a few stuff that annoys me.

I do the same exact thing with my roommate. I freeze if the temperature gets below 75°F and she thinks that -25°F is NOT COLD. Seriously, we were watching "Cool Runnings" and I saw the -25 on the screen and said that must be cold and she disagreed. What's worse is that I will want to compromise by saying that we should just turn it off then and she starts complaining about how she "can't stand it being that silent in the room". What especially gets to me is when she walks into the room, turns on the AC, and then leaves and doesn't return for hours.

"DUDE! Why should I pay half when I'm drinking a fifth?"
"Because we split bills in this apartment?"
I had to hide a bottle of Bombay in my room ever since.

It reminds me of my roommate. I had a 10-pack of these Raspberry Ice Tea packets where you just pour it into a bottle of water and it turns into Raspberry Ice Tea (after it's shaken). Well, I let her borrow one, and then about a week later I decided I wanted some more, so I went to look for them and found that some of them had went missing.
What really caused me to get anal was when I had these fudge-covered graham crackers in my room. I let her have a couple just to be nice. One day, I was studying in my room and she all of a sudden walks in, looks at my shelf, steals 2 of them (without asking me) and then leaves. I don't understand it! I'm in the room, you could at least ask. I now hide my junk food under my bed and in my dressers. I live in an old dorm though, so there was an occasion where rats had broke in and gnawed at my Nurtri-Grain bars.

ROFL. That is ingenious! Please, do not tell my roommate about this.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
