Moving out of your parents' home and renting a space with other people is a step toward independence. It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.

And since you'll be living with other people, certain adjustments need to be made. In a way, it's a great opportunity for personal growth and learning to coexist with people who have other personalities, quirks, and lifestyles.

As much as possible, you want to establish peace among your roommates. You'll be living with them for X amount of months, after all.

So how do you do this? First of all, it's important to set house rules, responsibilities, and boundaries together with your new roommates.

Yet it's also important to remember that these rules shouldn't be rigid. If an issue arises, you need to have an open discussion with your roommates and establish another set of rules that's fair for everyone.

It's also necessary to know the schedule of your roommates. Even if you live together, you still lead different lives.

Sometimes, you have to wake up earlier, while others can get up late. By being aware of each other's schedules and needs, you can minimize disruptions and create a considerate living environment.

Unfortunately, not every person is considerate. Some roommates even make your life miserable.

Today's story is about a woman who lost it after her roommate kept being noisy in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep.

A Redditor has had it with her roommate being noisy in the middle of the night.

In this household, one roommate is causing a problem for everyone.

She Facetimes her family in the kitchen during the wee hours. And she tends to be noisy during the call.

At first, the original poster (OP) talked to this roommate calmly.

She tried presenting solutions, but the roommate just won't listen.

This time, the OP really needed a good night's sleep as she has an interview the following day.

She already requested for everyone to be quiet. But this roommate kept being noisy while everyone was asleep.

In anger, the OP scolded her roommate. The call ended and the said roommate shut herself in her room.

What this roommate needs to do is to buy a good headphone.

Is she not using her common sense? She's not supposed to be making such noises at 1 AM.

If only the OP read this earlier. It's a non-confrontational solution, after all.

Diplomacy didn't work on the roommate. The OP had no choice but to explode.

It's hard to have a roommate this selfish.

The OP's request is reasonable. It's absurd how the roommate refuses to respect it.

She can always control her voice and ask her family to do the same.

With such an important event happening the next day, it's understandable why the OP handled it the way she did.

It's really tough to have a roommate who refuses to listen to you. And it just makes you wonder why she won't respect a simple request.

The OP may not have had the good night's sleep she needed. But we hope that she taught her roommate a lesson about respecting boundaries.
