Your Place, Your Roommates

Top Five Potential War Zones at Home

Every home has land mines just waiting to blow. We tip-toe around them: the dirty socks, the disheveled living room, the dishes, the food, the globs of toothpaste stuck in the sink like stalagmites, the late-night noise, the borrowed shirt that’s now ruined! It all becomes too much, until you just…
can’t…
take it…
anymore.

Then BOOM!—there you are, standing in the living room, fists clenched, breathing heavily, eyes shifting from roommate to roommate as they look at you watchfully, trying not to make any sudden movements. Ohh-kaay, you sense each of them thinking, she’s finally cracked.

The potential for problems to arise in your home is stealthier than you might think. In particular, there are five potential war zones that you’ll need to watch out for:

  1. The kitchen
  2. The bathroom
  3. The living room
  4. Noise
  5. Other people’s stuff
