Your house, your rules. But if you're sharing it with another person, they too have a say in what's acceptable and what's not. Or at least they should be able to.

Some, however, are so focused on themselves that they forget shared living space comes with a set of compromises. From questionable hygiene habits to food theft, these people can be really infuriating.

To remind everyone that manners matter, we put together a list of the worst roommates we could find on the internet. So be nice with yours, because if you're not, karma might match you with some of these.

#37 Cleared Right Sink For Roomate To Pour Things And Spit Toothpaste Into But Continues To Only Use Left Sink

Dirty dishes piled in a kitchen sink showing a typical jerk roommate behavior that makes others want to live alone.

Not to mention his food when only the right one has the garbage disposal. And just the sheer amount of toothpaste this man goes through is just insane. Same with shampoo conditioner when the dude doesn't even have an inch of hair.
