You don't know how hard we've had it.

This. Sage advice, this.

Then again, sometimes the only way to learn things is to outright experience them. So hope you get the job, and good luck. I'll be sitting here expectantly waiting for the "GAWD MY ROOMMATE IS SUCH A DICK HE ATE ALL MY FUCKING TOASTER STRUDELS" post in a year.

Personal opinion: unless you get really lucky and manage to rent a decent sized house, three men living together will become cramped and a clusterfuck really quickly. You'd be better off finding a somewhat close friend that you respect and moving in with him. Also, more places are likely to rent to two guys moving in together versus three guys moving in together. At least, in my experience. Two guys says "room mates." Three guys says "party central."

I will personally never live with another roommate again, just because of my experiences with them. That is to say, I refuse to live with another male roommate. Your mileage may vary. I know Beelz has said in the past he loves having roommates, mainly because it means he can afford stuff and there are always people there to hang out with if you want to.

If you get a job working 40 hours/week at $11.25/hr, you can get by quite comfortably and have lots of money to spend with just one roommate almost anywhere, 'cept for maybe some of the large cities.

This.

Plus it helps to really have roommates who are your close friends and that you can get along with and are trustworthy. My main roommate and the owner of the house has been my best friend for going on 25 years now. We've never had a problem with each other in the 15+ months I've been living here. Of course I have had my share of shitty roommates in the past though. So your situation may vary.

Lol, I'll be waiting for that too. It's inevitable

The only good roomies I've ever had were females, until the relationship goes sour. They typically seem to want to keep the place in orderly condition, whereas guys will just throw shit everywhere. I do it, I'm totally guilty of that

Living with your gf of six years can even be trying at times.

Food "disappearing" and people swearing they didn't touch it is a common theme, even "trustworthy" people can get drunk/whatever and not know what they're doing (or the gf/associate is responsible)

And then you start down the dark path of payback...I recommend getting the house mates gf drunk and banging her while he's at work

Yeah, I survived 5 years with my ex then finally it was just too much to handle. I wanted her out so bad I actually paid her security deposit on an apartment just to get her ass moving.

Yeah, cause that NEVER ends badly

Yeah, have roommates who are tried and true great friends is extremely helpful. I generally abide by the rule that anyone who knew me as a teenager and managed to put up with me for that long, and is still friends me with, is a worthwhile person to have around.

My place has never looked worse than after I've had four days off in a row and nothing to do. The only reason it gets cleaned on a regular basis is because I sometimes run out of clean dishes, or I'm afraid of my son hurting himself when he comes over and has to spend an evening in my squalor. Otherwise, I would probably only clean when company came over. Which is to say, never.

I also find that I'm just generally a cleaner person when females are involved. If a guy is here? Fuck it, he's seen worse.

Bahaha, that is so true. I can't be bothered to clean for shit these days, unless my parents are coming into town (and my mom usually scoffs and starts cleaning anyway), or I have a date over. None of my guy friends give a shit - they're all just as messy. Besides, if guys are coming over for a football game or movie or something, just dim the lights and get to drinking... can't even tell half that time

The only time I really clean up properly.
The rest of the time it's all pretty half arsed
I'm not a completely disorganised person though, I've just become really lazy in recent years.

Dogs are VERY handy, however when you get sloppy ass drunk and they decide to take a dump in front of the TV because you're too lazy to take them out is a whole other story

Pretty much. I'll move stuff out of the way in the living room, make room in the fridge for beer, and maybe clean up some of the more noticeable messes. Otherwise, fuck it. It's not worth it. If a woman is coming over, everything gets swept and cleaned and organized and mopped, all the beds get maid, there are pillows on the couch and that nasty-ass container in the back of the fridge finally gets thrown away.

Ditto for when my parents come over, 'cept I also clean the microwave. Don't ask.

Same. It's not that I'm a generally messy person, I'm just unorganized/lazy. The important stuff gets put away and cleaned fairly regularly -- dishes usually end up in the kitchen after a day and cleaned after two or three, whenever I fill up the dishwasher. Otherwise... no one really cares it the blanket on the couch is askew or if there are a few toys on the ground or a couple of empty beer bottles, or a stack of books that need to go back on the bookshelf.
