Having a roommate has turned my hot mess issues up a notch.
Exhibit A: Brush hour
Usually, I use my Sonicare but occasionally I use a regular toothbrush. Our toothbrush holder usually only has my roommate's toothbrush in it. One day, I put my regular toothbrush in the holder. Later I talk to my roommate to find out that we both have been using the purple one since we both thought the pink brush belonged to the other roommate. Great.
Exhibit B: Please count your eggs before they hatch
Communication is KEY. We usually buy our own food, but with basics that tend to go bad fast, we share. My roommate bought a dozen eggs. Then I bought a dozen eggs. Then my roommate forgot about the first dozen eggs. We ended up with 36 eggs.
