New Roommate Syndrome

Also known as NRS, this temporary loss of reality occurs when you invite a good friend to move in with you. For a brief period anything seems feasible, and impossible promises like "you can borrow my car" and "I'll help you buy things" are made in a haze of idealism. The potential roommate is quickly infected (this syndrome is highly contagious) and takes on the same delusions. Symptoms begin wearing off after several weeks and than fade completely when the individual is ejected and you never speak again.

New Roommate Syndrome Sufferer: Stop racking your brain looking for places, you can come live with me!! Rent is cheap and I can give you a ride to work now that we'll both be living in the city!!
NRS Sufferer 2: That sounds great!! I can sell my car and quit my second job!!

Roommate Hole

Finding your things have gone missing and you can only deduce your roommate must have taken it.

Student 1: Man. My beercase had gone missing from the fridge. It must've fallen to the Roommate Hole. Man, my roommate is an asshole.
Student 2: Don't worry mate, I get you a pint from the pub.
Student 1: Thanks mate, you're the best.

Sam and Ethan are a thing, Max and Marcy are a thing, if Nate started fucking the third roommate, then they would be roommating.
