Hahahahaha they are fighting over toilet paper

My neighbor (Whiskey's owner) has only been where she is for a few months and it has already all fallen apart. She has gotten a lease for an apartment about 15 minutes away near where I work. She will be moving there in like 2 weeks. I've been watching Whiskey on weekends when she's working or at night if she is going out. It is easy enough to do. She spent a lot of time here this weekend though because she simply didn't want to be there with her.
Apparently there has been no toilet paper in the bathroom for like 2 days. My friend has a secret stash in an upper cabinet that the other chick doesn't know about and can't reach. She sent me a picture this morning of the still-empty toilet paper holder. I told her that she should just dip out of there and crash here until she can get into the new apartment. That would require me moving my containers from the 2nd bedroom but at least she wouldn't have to deal with that Cold War situation for the next couple of weeks.
I've had roommates--in my early to mid-twenties. I had different roommates in college and then when I first started working and before my ex and I bought a house. I'm pretty easy to get along with so it was never a bad situation. I would hate it if I had some kind of hostile situation going on. I probably would have the same inclination to stay away but also at that point I'd be afraid that my stuff would get stolen or damaged.
My mother keeps telling me to get a roommate to save up more to buy a house. I am like "I'm almost 50. I'm not getting a roommate." I would happily have someone stay here if they needed a temporary place to crash but I wouldn't want someone to move in here long-term. I can pay the bills on my own and, well, there have been random visits at all hours from you-know-who.

Uh huh... she always goes out at night because you get on her nerves and won't let her bring her boyfriends over to spend the night... She should be the one complaining.

I didn't mind having roommates when I was younger but not now. Even when Juanita stays overnight, it gets on my nerves sometimes.

I’m so thankful that I don’t have/need a roommate. My poor niece and great-niece are spending the night with me next month when they come here for the Shakespeare festival, and I fret over the tiniest thing to make sure they’re comfortable. Too much of my mother.

I hope it doesn't turn into a "situation" at your place. Those never turn out well.
I've had a few roommates over the years and wasn't thrilled with any of them... I'm quiet and prefer to read or watch a movie... I had one roommate who never wanted to contribute for rent, utilities, food or house items. He didn't last long. I told him if he didn't want to help with anything, he needed to go... (He tried complaining to the police
. After I explained that it was MY house and he wasn't helping with any bills, they told him they couldn't help him. He moved out the next day.)
A few years later, one friend started getting divorced and asked if he could stay with me while they got things settled. I asked for a time-line and they claimed everything would be over in a couple of months. That's fine... I could handle that. As I said before, I'm quiet and like it quiet in my house. He liked to play his music at top volume and quit his job... I did my best to ignore the music and then bought him a nice set of headphones so I didn't have to hear it... He put the headphones on his computer tower and turned their speakers out so he could listen to them without wearing them.
He'd leave the house so I'd go in and shut the music off... He got mad because it wasn't still blaring when he came back. I explained I'd bought the headphones because I didn't want to listen to the music... and he said he wasn't allowed to do anything here so he was moving out... The music was the only thing I'd complained about and that only after a few months. I wasn't sorry to see him leave.
And now, I have Pretty.
We get into fights once in a while but she's still better than either one of those guys!

After a while you just get used to being on your own and doing your own thing without having to deal with anyone else,

In your situation, I definitely wouldn't want a room-mate!
