    Are You a Good Roomate?
    By Rebecca Schwarz
    Published September 27, 2007

    Living with a roommate can save you on rent, but before you embark on co-habitation, find out if it’s for you by taking our quiz. So borrow your roomie’s pencil, clear the sofa of her dirty laundry, and get cracking!

    1. Your roommate leaves perishable food in the fridge long after the expiry date. How do you confront her?
    Leave a wedge of her mouldering cheese on her pillow—that’ll teach her!
    Push her rotting food to the front of the fridge where she can’t miss it.
    Set up a cleaning schedule and tack it to the fridge.

    2. Your roommate gets up early for work while you often come home late. She asks you to please come home no later than 10 pm because you’re waking her up. You…
    agree to reduce your late nights if she agrees not to leave dirty dishes in the sink.
    keep your schedule but make an effort to not make any noise
    present her with ear plugs.

    3. You decide to buy a new rug. You…
    choose one to match the overall colour scheme—your roommate will appreciate the gesture.
    buy one that’s on sale—you’ll buy something fancy when you have your own place.
    buy one without telling her, then present her with the receipt.

    4. Your roommate suffers from bad breath. You…
    subtly leave bottles of mouthwash around the apartment.
    take her aside and bring up the issue as tactfully as possible.
    begin the required legal process to have her evicted.

    5. It’s late at night, and your roommate forgot her keys. You…
    let her in, then go back to bed. It happens to everyone.
    ignore her phone calls.
    let her in, but don’t hide your anger.

    6. You’re out of milk, but your roommate’s carton is full. What do you do?
    Go out and buy your own.
    Drink out of her carton—she’ll never know.
    Ask for her permission to take some of her milk.
