    For me, it’s cats.
    Love cats, but not enough for me to live with them. The litter box, the stench, everything that goes along with them. Plus, my sister can’t visit because she’s allergic.

    Apathy. If something is out of place just take care of it. We all live here so if something is out of place and it’s mine but I’m gone for the day just please take care of it so it doesn’t get worse and I’ll do the same for you.

    Lack of accountability. Dealt with that too much out of my sperm & egg donors during childhood for me to ever want to deal with that nonsense.

    Cigarettes.

    Cigarette junkies are the least considerate junkies.

    Smoking, drugs, and alcohol, and someone who invites a lot of people over frequently. In addition to the noise, I have PTSD and I am also immunocompromised, so the more people, the more risk. My ex did some terrible things when he drank so I do not feel safe around people drinking.

    Because of the PTSD, keeping noise down is also very preferable. Loud noises and sudden noises are difficult.

    Existing. Had a roommate from hell that hid all the dishes in their room, never did laundry, ran up the phone bill under my name and was always short on rent. Never again.
