People Share Their First NYC Apartment Stories on Viral Reddit Thread

I am a firm believer that once adulthood kicks in, the only roommate you should have is your significant other. Navigating the whole roommate situation, once someone has already gotten set in their ways, is a challenge.

This NYC renter found that out first-hand when they got a big-boy job and had to start waking up earlier than usual. Their roommates were accustomed to a more laid back lifestyle and hosted parties during the weekdays. A huge no-no.
