Room sharing etiquette!

Fact 1:

My girlfriend Pramiti. He came to live in Dhaka from Narsingdi to study. But there is no one close to him in Dhaka. So he rented a flat to live in, where there are already two university students. Although it was very difficult for Pramiti to adapt to a completely unfamiliar place at the beginning, she now has ‘Hebby’ in her language in the care of those two sisters!

Fact 2:

Another of my girlfriends is clean. Don't talk to anyone unless you need to. And her roommate Sudipa takes advantage of her quiet nature. ‘101 Ways to Burn Shuchi’ can be learned from Sudip (!) When Shuchi is ready to sleep at night, Sudipa switches on the lights and sits down to increase the volume of the song on the speaker. Far from tidying the house, he does not wash his plate after eating! Sudip is quite annoyed with Sudip now. He tells me, "My roommate doesn't even get my enemy!"

Two completely different views on the same subject. Sharing a room with someone will be quite paradoxical for you, if it is your first time. That room may be shared with your sibling, cousin, best friend, or a complete stranger. Although there is a high probability of disagreement between two or more people, it is possible to have at least a little bit of peace if there is mutual respect and resolving all issues together, resolving disputes.

There are several things to keep in mind when living together in the same room or flat with someone. The writing is actually written according to how it should be if there are two people in the same room or flat. However, if you want, these things can be combined with the etiquette of staying in the same flat or room with more than one person. Let's find out now.

Share the room properly:

the room should be divided equally. If you have two people together in one room and there is space like two bed sheets, the room should be divided in half. In this way, there will be equal space on both sides. You can share the space with your eyes. Or you can use it as a screen partition in the middle.

And if a bed is for two, the rest of the space should be halved after the bed is made. Because in addition to a bed in a room, two people can have separate racks, chairs, tables and bookshelves.

Room decor for two:

It is normal to have differences of opinion between two different people. Of course, your roommate will not like you. You don't even know what the taste of a person who has left in a hurry will be. So if you want to say 'yes' to these 'no's', go shopping together. Buy two room accessories, such as pots, pans, mugs, buckets, carpets, pops, lights, fans, etc. The best thing to do when buying things is to fix one, he will fix the other. For example: The first time you said that you will buy this brown carpet for the house. Then if he wants to buy a red bucket, he has to be given that opportunity. As a result, there will be small talk between the two and they will also know each other.

Fixing the rules:

Whether someone will have a pet with them, when the TV, lights, speakers will be turned off, who will get up early one day to clean the house, who will bring it to the market, when to bring guests in the house, whether one can borrow another thing or not It is better to fix it in advance. Then you will face very few problems.

That is why two people can sign an agreement together. So that if someone breaks or disobeys a rule, the problem can be solved by showing it to him.

Keep the house and surroundings clean:

You should clean your place as soon as possible so that it does not bother your roommate. After using the towel, hang it on a hanger or rack. Put socks or dirty clothes in a basket without scattering them. Practice sweeping the house at least twice a day. If you do it one day, your roommate will do it another day.

When two people are sleeping in the same bed, one day you go to bed, the next day you ask your roommate to do it. If all the work is shared, the work can be put forward a lot. For example: on a certain day of the week or month you will go shopping, iron clothes. And your roommate will clean the washroom and sweep.

Refrain from doing anything out loud:

A bad habit of many of us is that we talk loudly, laugh out loud and listen to loud songs. As long as this habit of yours is causing another person's problem, that's fine. So make sure you don't have a crunchy breakfast, watch Tamil movies in full volume, talk loudly on the phone so as not to make your roommate uncomfortable.

If you need to talk to someone on the phone, go to another room or outside and talk. If your roommate is asleep or studying for an exam, listen to music with headphones or earphones. But refrain from bothering him! Celebrate ‘Silent Time’ from 11:30 pm to 8:00 am

Before borrowing, ask:

Your thing is just your thing, not someone else's thing, just like your roommate's thing is only your roommate's, not yours! So if you need anything from him, ask him first. If he's not around, ask him by text or call, but don't take anything without asking. If the answer is no, then there is no need to use it in secret. This will only create mistrust.

If you want to improve your relationship, allow yourself some use for it. For example: if he ever needs a printer, he can use your printer. Or he doesn't need any permission to use your jacket etc.

Try to be respectful to your roommate:

Sometimes you may not like some of your roommate's behavior. That's why you shouldn't scold or yell at him before you explain something to him. Because ‘if you get angry, you lose’. Talking unnecessarily loud will only cause annoyance and trouble between the two of them.

So first take a deep breath and exhale and tell her not to do it again. Maybe the fact that he is watching TV out loud is disrupting your studies. Then explain to him that you are having difficulty reading because of the sound of the TV. It would have been better to reduce the volume of the TV.

Explain the problem:

Human life is not without problems. There is always some problem with us. But don’t let your frustration, trouble know your roommate in the first place, unless he’s someone very close to you. Let him know 24-48 hours after something happens. Because then your mind will be fresh and you will be able to open it and talk about your problem.

Set aside time for yourself:

Being together doesn't mean you have to be together all the time. If you spend some time alone, you will feel good about yourself, you can also think about something like yourself Everyone needs to spend time alone, but let him know in advance before he is alone. Otherwise he may look at you silently and think that you are angry with him and your face is swollen!

Call a third party to fix the problem:

If there is a conflict between you, call someone who knows both of you well.

Know the important information:

Find out who you live with, where you study or work, where you used to live - everything. Also keep the phone number of his guardian and the number of a close friend in the collection. Because it is not possible to say when and where they work. If your roommate suddenly falls ill, people close to him should be informed first.

Let roommates know before bringing guests into the house:

Maybe a colleague or friend of yours is going to your flat with you today. Let your roommate know before you take a guest. Then he can clean the room as well as arrange a light breakfast for the guests. Your roommate will not face any embarrassment.

This became known as an urgent matter. Also try to notice each other's bad habits. Because any of his bad habits can bother you. Living together can lead to light fights. However, in order to lighten the amount of quarrel, settle the quarrel before it gets dark.

Keeping your light switched on all night so as not to cause inconvenience to your roommate. Settle the rent at the beginning of the month. And make a budget at the beginning of the month and follow that budget, both of you. Help two people tidy up the room. Another thing to keep in mind is, ‘Treat your roommate how you want to be treated. '
