Good grief! If this is the extent of problems in your life...can we trade? LOL.\n\nYou can't restrict his/her "amount" of toilet paper; it will make you look like a micro-manager at best and a Nazi at worst. Here's what you do: make him/her buy ALL the toilet paper. If you trade on this by buying/doing something else, then it'll work out perfectly fine. For example, buy the toothpaste. Both items are incredibly cheap (here in Canada, they are, anyway) and no one can possibly complain since your roommate cannot blame anyone but him/herself for the relatively high cost of using tons of toilet paper. \n\nYou really can't afford to make a big deal out of this, since it's completely trivial. And if you've got some sort of environmental complaint, zip it. Leave it be and get on with your fabulous lives!

Doesn't matter if you don't have an agreement, you are joint and severally liable, now that you have paid all the bills, you can recover a reasonable amount ie, fair proportion from him.\n\nIs your flat mate worth taking action against, if the amount your owed is more than £750 then you can issue a statutory demand.\nThis is most dangerous weapon in law, ie if he doesn't pay he will be bankrupted.\n\nIs there a reason like he can't pay, like he can't afford it, you should try and get the utility company to split the bill, they may not agree but this way the liability is severed. Best course of action is to get him out, inform the landlord, and he may start eviction proceedings or notice to quit.\n\nThe longer way to really sting him, is keep paying the bills, then hit with the statutory demand, that will teach him a lesson he will never forget. He will take action unless is some kind of no hoping tramp loser .

The toilet paper in my opinion needs to come off the top, otherwise you are always searching for it hanging back in the back. But to solve your problem either use separate bathrooms where you can each have the toilet paper like you want or hang up two rolls next to each other in the bathroom you share, or one of you will need to decide to put aside your wishes for the other's toilet paper happiness.  If this is the worst of your problems then you two must have a terrific relationship. Congratulations! =)

The only time I let 'em rip is at home. At work, I stock, so I just crouch down to get something out of the box to stock and let it silently fly. If we are out at a restaurant, I excuse myself and go to the bathroom if it's going to be a seat rumbler. I think farting is hilarious...I can't help it. I don't do it in public, but it's still flat-out funny to me. I know...I'm so sick.

Try calling your local dry cleaners--they usually have things you can rent. Also, try party suppliers and see what their prices are. If you want to buy instead of rent, I'd suggest going to outlet stores and seeing what you can find. Another good place is also Ebay.  I'd be against buying items only for the fact is you will have so many linens you will probably never use them all ever again--however, sometimes the cost of buying is cheaper than renting, and you don't have to worry about returning them.

I've had male and female roommates. It really depends on the individual, not their gender. For me, living with a female was better for the domestic side, and living with a guy was a little more crazy. It also depends whether you are friends or just two people sharing bills.

If you are using the latrine, then by all means replace the toilet paper.   Tell the host afterwards.   I wouldn't worry about the proper way to open packaging.  The host should be embarrassed for not providing enough toilet paper for a guest.  If they want to fix the toilet paper - all the more power to them.

This is difficult with friends involved. I was in a situation similar, except I was the roommate that moved out. I continued to pay rent as well as the ultilities since it was a <i>contracted</i> agreement. The moved-out roommate should still have to pay for the utilities only if he was there when you first signed up for the utilities, therefore making him responsible for the utilities just the same with the rest of the roommates. If you wanna be soft with him, just ask him to pay for the non-usage based utilities since it's still somewhat of his responsibility.

Hands up how many people here have used all of their 1gb allowance?\nOh good none of you\n\nI'd be surprised if I've actually used more than 20mb of mine. I remember when YM was initially only 1mb (and Hotmail's big selling point is that it offered TWO mb!)... then 5, and 11.... and stayed at 11 for donkeys years before suddenly jumping, after the arrival of the dreaded GMail.\n\nIt's known as a quota system, where you don't actually have a fixed space on the disc, your stuff just all goes into a folder or an archive file that's part of a big distributed storage array. They may offer you a maximum of 1gb, but the discs they buy and the average space allocation per user is based on some statistical analysis to give a rough guessimate predicition of what a typical person might burn through in a year. Call it 20mb, with some people using a few hundred megs, others barely making it to one. Your space requirements have now been slashed by a factor of fifty and you can get 25,000 users into one of those mammoth hard discs.\n\nThey could, theoretically speaking, offer you nearly unlimited storage (certainly several terabytes out of the *enormous* total) and still have a workable system.... if everyone was honest. The 1Gb limit is to stop the usual conceptual Handful Of Miscreants abusing it and leaving no space for anyone else.\n\nBesides, and especially in business terms, storage space is dirt cheap these days. How else would I be able to buy a brand new 20gb mp3 player for £90? A server spec hard disc of about 75gb (high-speed ones like that are smaller for some reason) is only about £50 these days. If, once again, you assume that to be about 3750 people, that's not even 2p per user. They can make that back with a couple of banner ads that the user sees on logging in. Job's a goodun.\n\n(Same reason, really, that Google can offer their "Maps" and "Earth" services, or any online seach engine such as Yahoo can work these days... if you have even a comparitively paltry ten grand to blow (might have got you, in the early 90s, the storage space represented now by a couple of Blu-Ray discs) you can afford such a mass of hard drive space, and the rather simple fileservers to manage it, that satellite mapping the entire planet at 10 centimetre resolution becomes more of an administrative than a technical problem)

Most things depend on the people...I've had more than my share of bad roomie experiences! First thing when you move in be sure to put a bolt lock on your bedroom door, this is especially advisable because of parties that are sure to happen. I recommend that you pay all bills with checks, and keep an "excel file" of all of the bills. As for foods, you'll all have to work that out together--don't be afraid to keep some dry goods in your room--at least 1 roll of tp, too. Most importantly, figure out how you 2 can talk aobut household situations rationally. Good luck!
