How To Avoid Your Roommates

Roommates, this term either makes you happy or extremely uncomfortable. I mean, who doesn’t want a place to call their own. Unfortunately, if you are a student, more specifically, at Capilano University, then you know all too well the struggles with roommates. Good news! We know exactly how you can avoid them.

6 Ways To Avoid Roommates

This could work for parents, your husband or your wife, we don’t discriminate on who you can avoid.

1. Do Your Rota Duties

Come on, please don’t be that guy or girl that just doesn’t contribute to the house. We have all been there and it can get very annoying. Want people to stop bothering you? Do your stuff.

2. Pay Your Dues

House supplies are an even thing. Don’t be that person that tries to short change or pay less than everyone else. A sure-fire way to make sure people bother you is to be cheap on this stuff.

3. Clean Up

Want to avoid people? Don’t give them a reason to talk to you. If you clean up your mess, dishes, pizza boxes, then we are sure you will enjoy pure lonely bliss.

4. Change Up Toilet Rolls

Honestly, it takes 5 seconds to change the toilet paper roll. If you use it, replace it. The last thing you want is a roommate passive-aggressive placing an empty toilet roll on your bed.

5. Quit Hoarding

You know you are out there. You have massive amounts of stuff and it piles up and piles up. Either toss it out or go get a self storage locker, you won’t ever hear your roommates complain again, heaven.

6. Keep Clean

This means your room, and ANYWHERE else you decide to visit. A messy room is a problem should your home have regular inspections. Landlords and RA’s don’t like a mess, so clean up and you can avoid EVERYONE.

Look at that, you have avoided every reason for your roommates to bother you, good job, enjoy the peace and quiet.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
