What kind of housemate are you?

Do you make your little hovel a personal heaven or hell for the people living with you?

1. Does your housemate complain about your loud stereo?

Hey, s/he's the one who plays annoying Barry Manilow records. Why can't I put on Slipknot once in a while?

Not a chance, I always use headphones to keep the noise to myself.

Apologize, and tune the music down to "negligible" levels.

2. You suddenly run out of underarm deodorant. You...

use your housemate's. Only in case of emergency and this one is!

grab your housemate's and comfortably swab it on your armpits.

just rush out and buy one at the nearest convenience store.

3. How about using his/her toothbrush?

Nah. That's private as private property can get.

Yup. To clean the toilet bowl!

Maybe. If I accidentally break my toothbrush.

4. Your housemate is dating a hottie you have hots for. You...

Tell the person your housemate's busy having sex with another person the next time s/he calls.

Respect first dibs.

Get to know the person too. Besides, s/he is dating your housemate. And just in case things don't work out between them...

5. You run short of money for your share of the rent this moneth. You...

Tell them that your mom is sick and you have to send some money back home and that you might need some more money.

Be honest and promise to pay your share as soon as you're able.

Tell them a check payable to you will not get cleared in time for your rent.

6. Saturday night and you're watching TV. Your housemate walks up and asks you to change the channel. You say,

"I was here first, so bugger off!"

"Sure, as long as it's good."

7. You're having a party at your place. You...

give your housemate some money to go to the movies.

inform and invite your housemate a week before.

inform your housemate and let him/her decide what s/he wants to do.

8. Your housemate doesn't like to do a particular chore. You...

accept the responsibility.

suggest s/he finds another person to live with.

offer to trade one chore that you don't like doing as well.

9. Your housemate turns out to be a slob. You...

Clean up after the person.

Tell the person to clean up or find another place.

Throw a piece of old meat under the person's bed until it stinks up his/her side of the house.

10. You have cable and Internet but your housemate is rarely at home. You...

Ask for 50% of the bills.

Shoulder 100% of the bills.

You calculate the percentages of use and charge accordingly.
