Living with friends is not always easy, and care must be taken to not allow roommate arguments to boil over into friendships. The Mackerel team sat down to create a comprehensive guide on how to navigate these complex social relations.
Step 1: Wash their dishes for them. Whether or not out of kindness, asserting your cleaning prowess is a sure-fire way to get an upper hand in the future.
Step 2: Be productive. Did you run into your roommate stumbling out of bed at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday? Make sure to let them know you’ve already made a full breakfast, completed a 10km run, attended two classes, and finished an assignment since you’ve been awake.
Step 3: Walk into rooms at random and sigh loudly. Bonus points for shaking your head and walking away in silence.
