There is no way to make a smoothie the night before without it being frozen or melting. It’s really not that simple. Who says I’m loud in the shower 😅

Entitled would be my roommate this school year. Ear plugs exist and I use them whenever her or my past roommates were loud at night. All the bills are in my name, I buy all the cleaning supplies, and I’m the only one who cleans majority of the apartments I’ve lived in so idgaf.

Wait I don’t think that’s unreasonable? Like obviously yes, if I was sleeping, I would prefer the blender not being used in the morning. But, if that’s what you eat in the morning and you’re not being a shitty roommate otherwise, I think it’s fine.

I’d suggest getting your clothes and stuff ready the night before it will make both lives so much easier as well as using headphones and try to close doors quietly. Realize that just bc you have to get up early doesn’t mean the other person does too

wait lowk this is reasonable. like if someone woke me up in the morning due to normal breakfast making noises I wouldn’t be upset. I had a conversation with a roommate once asking him to try to not be so constantly in and out of the room in the mornings, but I would’ve never told him to stop making coffee and going about his day. sometimes living with people means getting woken up.

Making a fucking smoothie isn’t “normal breakfast noises”

Respectfully, I think majority of people can agree that regular human waking are hours are during sunlight hours. Why does the body begin to calm down in the dark? Why are circadian rhythms a thing? Personally I do not think the majority should cater to the minority in this given case. Naturally you should be understanding if it is insomnia or a person who works night shifts, but it is not my obligation to be quiet after around 7-8am imo. Also smoothies from night before aren’t as great.

I could understand this complaint at 5 or 6 am but you cannot seriously be annoyed if someone makes a smoothie at 8 am

You are conflating. Let’s not talk of time but daylight and night time. I say it is ok to blast music (within norm, because living with someone is one thing, disturbing whole neighborhood is another) while it is daytime and sun is out. But 11pm is unequivocally no matter time of year. Naturally there are fringe cases (north pole, some places during winter only get sunlight starting later like 10am). But I would say your example is unfit logically to the comment above.

I’m SO glad you brought up biology because human evolution (and evolution in general) is actually a special interest of mine! Have you ever heard of chronotypes? We literally EVOLVED to have some people be night owls and other be early birds. It wasn’t safe for the entire tribe to be asleep at once, so half of us are BIOLOGICALLY PROGRAMMED to stay up late. Don’t fucking take science out of context to fit your narrative when you don’t even have the basic facts correct 🤦

Anonymous #15 10w

I highly doubt all people who claim to be night owls are like this. Also, no need to be rude. It is also not a narrative but my own opinion. I am open to learning, but your style of discourse is highly antipathetic to genuine discussion I am trying to have here. Regardless of biology, human society is daylight based. And even then, I would love to read more on subject matter, could you provide reputable sources I can look at?

Anonymous #25 10w

Also, just because some people might have this natural “night owl” thing does not mean my entire point is incorrect. So your statement of “basic facts” being incorrect is not true and overly aggressive. I hope you have a nice day and get in a better mood. Sidechat comment threads are definitely not a reason to get upset! :)

It is not your obligation, but it sure as hell is an asshole move to turn on a loud ass blender at 7am while you are aware your roommate is sleeping. How selfish and unempatheitc do you have to be to not be quiet while others are asleep? I’m quiet when my roommates go to bed early, and take extra care not to wake them. Why? Because I have empathy. I’m sure as hell not turning on a blender at while they’re asleep at 9pm. It doesn’t matter if that’s a reasonable hour to be awake.

Those things you claimed were incorrect, though. You said "I think majority of people can agree that regular human waking are hours are during sunlight hours. Why does the body begin to calm down in the dark? Why are circadian rhythms a thing? Personally I do not think the majority should cater to the minority in this given case” which is factually incorrect, as 15 just explained to you.

Anonymous #14 10w

The discussion here is not what is empathetic or not though. Some people have more empathy than others. Also you cherry picked, because the smoothie example is not the sole one in this thread. What IS “being considerate”? Is it not turning on the lights? Is it tip toeing? What if a smoothie is your pre established routine for years? I am sure people can work these things out. But empathy does not OBLIGATE one to accomodate another person. Also—roommate, does it imply a shared room? —!

*—> shared kitchen? If room then sure, it can be rude. But if there is a kitchen I will be using it at 9am

How does 15 explain exactly that most of society is NOT daylight oriented? Just because a fraction of a group of people might not be does not prove the fact wrong. But regardless, I think it is enough of sidechat for me today, I do not see enough of value for me to try to convince you to when you seem to be set in your ways. I hope you have a good one and begin to critically think about things!

Anonymous #18 10w

Agreed, but for some reason many in this thread are headstrong on defending being “empathetic” and letting people sleep. While I think being considerate is good, for me it means not playing music loudly, but my daily functions—such as cooking or cleaning—are alas non negotiable. Again, majority>minority kinda thing, it is v democratic ig

I think you are right in the situation. In this situation you are not obligated to be the accommodating one. If a smoothie is what you want/eat, then it is what u can have! Besides, any sort of cooking produces noise. This thread makes me think that majority of people leaving comments just want to be accommodated but do nothing in return. Also it is very case by case basis, but I would say the default goes to the daylight folk/early birds.

Yes, all of those things are being considerate. Just don't purposely make loud noises while your roommate is sleeping, and you're fine. The amount of rooms doesn't really matter? If it's loud enough to wake the roommate up every morning, then I just wouldn't do it. That's all. I'd make my smoothie the night before like a considerate person

It’s not a small fraction, a large number of people are not built to wake up at 7am, and are instead built to be up in the late night. You said “a majority of people can agree that regular human waking are hours are during sunlight hours”. That is incorrect. Regardless of any of that, being respectful of people who are sleeping is not a crazy concept. Even if people who sleep past 7am were the minority, which they are not, it’s still rude to wake them with a blender

Then freeze it, and shake it the next morning, or have anything else for breakfast?

“This thread makes me think that majority of people leaving comments just want to be accommodated but do nothing in return.” After most people in this comment section have expressed that they are careful to be quiet for those who go to sleep early. “Also it is very case by case basis, but I would say the default goes to the daylight folk/early birds.” Why would you say that? Do you have anything to back that up, or is that just because it suits you better?

And again, you are not obligated to not blend a smoothie while your roommates are sleeping, however it is the non-asshole thing to do.

You look at it from the perspective of the night owl. In the given situation: For the night owl it is routine to sleep at night. For the early bird it is routine to make smoothies. Who is to say which routine is more important?

Sleeping is a human necessity. Smoothies are not. Make another food, make your smoothie the night before and just freeze it and shake it the next day

You clearly never had a smoothie like that:)) And I already made my points prior, and I do not fancy repeating myself. You are clearly favoring one side, creating bad faith equivalences and are unwilling to have a proper discussion. If I were living next to you I’d make a smoothie twice a day. Now, I bid thee a good day, enough of internet nonsense for meee

What did I say in bad faith? Sleeping is a human necessity, a smoothie at 7am is not. That is true. Different people have different sleep needs, and not everyone is built to wake up at 7am. If I’m not blending a smoothie or doing other loud activities at night while my roommates are sleeping, I expect them to do the same while I’m asleep in early morning. Why would you choose to purposely make unnecessary loud noise to wake a sleeping roommate? That seems like an issue you need to figure out

In a roommate situation, sacrifices will have to be made. Sleep is very important for humans. You do not need your smoothie at 7am to survive. Have something else if a frozen smoothie from the night before isn’t good enough for you. You don’t need the blender going in the early morning while your roommates are sleeping, in the same way I’m not making microwave popcorn or watching tv while my roommates sleep. We all have to make sacrifices to be respectful of others in shared living situations.

“Favoring one side”. Ive said that both sides need to be quiet while the other is sleeping. Both sides need to make sacrifices. You’re acting as if night people aren’t making the same sacrifices at night, while morning people are sleeping.
