Having roommates in your 20's helps you recognize parts of your personality that are problematic. You can't get a pass from your flatmates like you can with your family. It smooths out your jagged edges.
I lived with two of my longest friends for years and we're still close friends. It does come down to if everyone can respect each other's living habits and preferences. At the same time, if they don't respect your living preferences and work together to compromise, how much do they really respect you?
Fr, it really just comes down to being able to handle or accept how one another lives, if it doesnt work out, then it's best to live seperate, tho i rather live with a friend (in this economy at least) than someone I dont know tho, but yeah depends on how they really are
Even the strongest friendships can break if you can’t compromise. My best mate and I lived at the same campus and moved into the same residential block in our second year and as a result had to share a lot of living spaces with a couple of other guys we were mates with, and our friendship was heavily strained as we struggled to compromise with each others living habits. Thankfully we’re still as close as we were when we moved into the block together but we know for certain we won’t ever live together
@@yum8666let me fix it for you, I'd rather not live with my friends but live nearby them. That's the best way. You have your own space and they have theirs but you all are close enough to hang out
Having roommates fucking sucks. Could not WAIT to get a spot of my own. Having to deal with other peoples habits like leaving the dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher, leaving their shoes in front of the door so you kick them every time you try to enter or leave, taking the trash out and not replacing the bag. It's the little shit that gets you irritated with people over time.
I live with roommates and feel very similar to Garnt. I’m not usually the type to enjoy hopping in on a spontaneous activity my roommates are doing. Even though we’re friends, most of the time I pass cause I have introvert plans. What sounds like bliss to me is coming home and finding everything in the same spot with no dishes I didn’t make to clean up.
Housemates become less fun the older you get. I recently finished my master's degree and still live in the room when I was a student and trying to become increasingly adult, changing your diet your rhythm trying to keep everything clean and so on, it becomes irritating when your housemates keeps making little mistakes like being late in buying new toilet paper or cleaning the floors or not mentioning when appliances like the shower aren't working properly and so on and it gets increasingly annoying to accommodate them....
To answer Garnt's question on what we learn in highschool, I feel like I learnt far more of the basic practical skills than I ever did at uni. At least for me sixth form was: media literacy, coding, economics and critical thinking. Meanwhile, my computer science degree was basically entirely covered by year 13 computing and a bunch of google searches. Uni was more of a survival as an adult situation.
i have an apartment with 3 of my closest friends. we knew from the start, it wouldnt be easy, and we would have to be comfortable with not only each other, but what everyone else wanted to contribute. if you dont approach it as a team effort instead of individuals sharing a space, then ofcourse it wont work after awhile. you want a space todo whatever you wanted? thats your room, and thats it we all understand this. but every other part of the living space is a team effort to keep things going smooth its all about how much your willing todo for us were willing todo whatever it takes to save money and for us to get ahead in life, so we work together to make it happen, saving money where we can, and all hanging out whenever we can. and its not like we were all well established individuals, one of us didnt even have a education and needing to finish their GED, it took alot of work to get us to where we are, but we stuck through it together, and made it happen. now we all have jobs, and make it a habit to go out and hang out whenever we all have a day off, and since we dont all work the same days, you get personal days inbetween. yes living together can test friendships, thats why you only do it with people you truly know, weve known each other for 15 years, before we did this, i wouldnt do it with just anyone. i think the only annoying thing weve gotten from this is nearly EVERYONE assuming were all in a relationship together because we are able to get along so well and make the living situation work. but we all know who we are, and what we want, and so that doesnt bother us too much, let people believe what they want, while we live debt free, and get to where we want to be, and their living above their means, projecting an image they will get into massive debt to maintain.
@@zLucardy he said he quit RUclips because he doesnt really enjoy making content anymore and also found a steady job but its been years since the last time i heard about him so idk how he doing rn, but im pretty sure he and Joey got into a fight hence why Joey never mention him anymore even in this episode
I'm in community college now, so I do relate to learning how to be social, especially in a class or career your interested in, it helped me become more attentive compared then high school, and making friends in the process as adults I can relate to has been better.
It’s crazy how positively they look upon their university years, because my time in college fucking sucked and my high school years were the best ones of my life. Connors whole “you have to learn how to make friends” thing….yeah. Didn’t accomplish that in Uni. Made almost no friends and I fucking tried so hard.
My roommate used to pick at his toes to the point where they bleed. He would then dip his foot into a Tupperware full of hydrogen dioxide. After he was done he would place said Tupperware in the kitchen right after. I would ask him to clean it and he would say "it's already clean" this drove me up a wall. Sure I know many people would probably agree with him but this drove me bat shit.
I had a roommate that never did dishes. So I let his used glass on the sink to see how long it would be there. I kid you not, after 1 month it was still there, growing all kinds of alien flora and fauna inside.
Eyy, Canada has those lil milk jugs too! It's kinda chonkier here tho. There's always more of the mini choccy milk than regular though, which I only ever buy the choccy version so makes sense to me.
Funny thing is, America has the plastic milk jugs almost exclusively, lol. Our bread might not be great (I'm used to it by now) but we have the single serving game on lock, lol.
I've found myself in the fortunate position where I own my place and don't need any flatties, but was talking to a good mate and he had no money or anything. Offered him a room in my house for $50 NZD a week plus bills to help him try get ahead. But once he moved in he started drinking a lot of piss and leaving the empty bottles on the floor of the room, leaving empty packets of chips etc all over the floor. Told him I didn't want my place treated that way, but he didn't seem to care. With that and the fact he wouldn't shower often, never washed his bed sheets in the year he was here, just made the room smell like ass, and the smell would waft out into the house when he left his door open and I'd start gagging. Would damage my stuff, leave the front door open all night, leave the stove on and not apologise for any of it. I ended up kicking him out and haven't spoken a word to him since.
A lot of these complaints just sound like living with your family but annoyances are less acceptable cuz it's not your family. Other than the money part, my parents ain't making me pay for rent or groceries.
I had 2 younger brothers growing up and moved out at 22. Straight into my own place and still live here today. I couldn't imagine having a roommate. I'm just not that kind of person.
8:00 “Why does your bread last for a week?” Because almost WITHOUT EXCEPTION, American households shop ONCE a week and get food for the entire week. We need bread to last at least a week. People only get to the store about once a week, if the bread goes bad before that, no bread until the next shopping trip, sorry. Is it due to preservatives? Yeah, absolutely. Are we gonna start preferring bread that’s fresher but spoils faster? Absolutely not. It’s a necessary evil.

If you value your friendships, you shouldnt live together. Or at least accept your friends’ living habits.
Sure but I would much rather live with friends than strangers.

Damn, sounds like you had a good highschool
Connors eternal bachelor status present here. “Sidneys like your roommate, right?”
Connors love for mini milk cartons was very much appreciated
i have an apartment with 3 of my closest friends.
we knew from the start, it wouldnt be easy, and we would have to be comfortable with not only each other, but what everyone else wanted to contribute.
if you dont approach it as a team effort instead of individuals sharing a space, then ofcourse it wont work after awhile.
you want a space todo whatever you wanted? thats your room, and thats it we all understand this.
but every other part of the living space is a team effort to keep things going smooth
its all about how much your willing todo
for us were willing todo whatever it takes to save money and for us to get ahead in life, so we work together to make it happen, saving money where we can, and all hanging out whenever we can.
and its not like we were all well established individuals, one of us didnt even have a education and needing to finish their GED, it took alot of work to get us to where we are, but we stuck through it together, and made it happen.
now we all have jobs, and make it a habit to go out and hang out whenever we all have a day off, and since we dont all work the same days, you get personal days inbetween.
yes living together can test friendships, thats why you only do it with people you truly know, weve known each other for 15 years, before we did this, i wouldnt do it with just anyone.
i think the only annoying thing weve gotten from this is nearly EVERYONE assuming were all in a relationship together because we are able to get along so well and make the living situation work.
but we all know who we are, and what we want, and so that doesnt bother us too much, let people believe what they want, while we live debt free, and get to where we want to be, and their living above their means, projecting an image they will get into massive debt to maintain.
Pretty sure joey is talking about nyansai and einshine at 9:40 if anyone curious
dang i havent heard about einshine for years, whats he up to?
@@zLucardy he said he quit RUclips because he doesnt really enjoy making content anymore and also found a steady job but its been years since the last time i heard about him so idk how he doing rn, but im pretty sure he and Joey got into a fight hence why Joey never mention him anymore even in this episode
I thought he was talking about mistychonexia and lostpause lol
@@hafiskaarba5884 If I remember right Einshine didn't really like Aki and shit talked about her.

I am rooming with a mate and it is fun sometimes but sometimes it's hell
It be like that fr
@@sebastianherrera6514 You know what's up🍻

Connors whole “you have to learn how to make friends” thing….yeah. Didn’t accomplish that in Uni. Made almost no friends and I fucking tried so hard.
I leaned how to study in uni, and learned nothing during normal school
Is Connor not aware of half gallon and 1 liter milk cartons in the US?
Met my best friends at uni. We've lived together for 6 years now, still going strong. We argue but we love each other. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I got a saying in German: Businesss is business and Schnaps is Schnaps! Never mix friendship with money.☮

I wish I could live with my friends in a shared house. Covid freakin' sucks man
I had 2 younger brothers growing up and moved out at 22. Straight into my own place and still live here today. I couldn't imagine having a roommate. I'm just not that kind of person.
In CA Ontario most of our milk is in plastic bags.
Yeah most forms of socializing before joining the workforce is easy due to the shared experience - now everything just feels nostalgic :(
The us has those small jugs i would get them in college cause they fit in my mini fridge
i guess conner likes small milk cartons 😅
Instead of roommates, being neighbors with other content creators is probably much better.
I’m 20 and I still live with my parents because 1. I’m chronically ill, and 2. I can’t afford shit!
so the answer is no
but what if u got like emergency or something that's when u need someone like your friend.
Fetishes, doom and overstimulation. Couldn’t have summed me up in three better words
Milk Cartons: The few things English do well
this would be the best jdrama i dont watch alot of japanese drama tv shows but this would be an interesting idea😅
Does Connor actually think we don’t have plastic milk containers?🤣🤣 like does everywhere literally not have both cardboard & plastic?
Oh Connor poor Connor your girl is not your house mate lol
Roommates who r more outgoing r much better. Staying a whole day with a roommate is not as fun as u would think
8:00
