TIL my roommate's "3 minute" showers were actually 11 minutes, and that number changed my whole view on moving out

I was about to sign another year on our lease in Portland because I told myself the noise and the mess were normal roommate stuff. Then I timed his morning bathroom run out of pure spite and got 11 minutes, every single day, which meant I was late to work four times last month waiting on him. I always thought I was just being picky, but seeing it written down made me realize I was paying $950 a month to lose my mornings. Has anyone else actually measured the thing that bugs them and had it flip how they feel?
