That would drive me insane...especially if we split utilities 50/50 and I knew my roomate was the one accounting for most of the expense.

I'm really bad at whatever mental hack is required to say "even though I put a lot of energy/care/attention/resources into X, I'm not going to let it bother me when I can't achieve X due to factors outside my control." The level of compartmentalization required to simultaneously care and not care is beyond my ken. What usually happens is that I just give up on X altogether.
