Perhaps the most damaging aspect of living with Janice is her reckless disregard for the property. Whether it’s spilling red wine on the beige carpet or clogging the disposal with potato peels, disasters follow her.
The worst part isn't the accident; it’s the cover-up. Janice will spill wine and simply flip the rug over to hide the stain. She will break a vase and superglue it back together hoping you won't notice. When the landlord inevitably finds the damage, Janice is the first to throw you under the bus.

But it goes beyond products. Janice invites her boyfriend, "Chad," over constantly. He eats your food, hogs the TV, and essentially lives there rent-free. When you try to discuss the "guest policy" in the lease, Janice flips the script. "You’re just jealous because you’re single," she’ll snap, turning a logical conversation about bills into a personal attack on your love life.
