Living with the opposite gender certainly comes with its own set of quirks (like the perpetual toilet seat debate, odd grooming habits, and, let’s not forget, the burping contests). However, sharing a space with women can present its own unique challenges. This was humorously captured in a viral Twitter thread by Jake Thompson, a 20-year-old student from the University of Edinburgh, who shared his experiences rooming with three female classmates during a recent ski trip.
In just 32 tweets, Thompson laid out the many amusing and sometimes perplexing aspects of living with women, which quickly struck a chord with audiences, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes. “The feedback has been completely unexpected and overwhelming,” Thompson remarked to the Modern Family Blog. “Initially, I thought my friends might enjoy it, but now it’s reached over 80 million people globally.” His roommates, who he affectionately refers to as the real stars of the thread, were equally surprised by the viral success. “They can’t believe how popular it’s become,” he added. “It’s all been quite entertaining.”
So what exactly have we been doing that might be secretly annoying our male roommates? Let’s dive in:
- The Makeup Struggle: Some of us may have a slightly obsessive relationship with makeup.
- The Shedding: Yes, we tend to shed hair… a lot. It ends up everywhere.
- Sharing is Caring: What’s mine is yours, and it’s perfectly fine if you forgot to ask.
- Mirror Access: We require the bathroom mirror before heading out; that smudged nightstand mirror just won’t do.
- Volume Control: We might not be as quiet as we imagine ourselves to be.
- Text Dissection: Expect us to analyze text messages while hanging out; it’s just more fun that way.
- Eyebrow Sculpting: We’ll shape each other’s eyebrows with precision—don’t expect it to be painless, but it will be worth it.
- Wardrobe Crisis: Everything looks terrible when you’re getting ready. Bring on the Spanx, please.
If any of this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone. Perhaps we should band together and consider giving up one of these habits in exchange for a closed toilet seat. For instance, how about we address those 15 clumps of hair currently residing in the bathtub? It’s for a good cause.
