Living with a group of people can be difficult sometimes, especially if you don't know each other all that well.
You'll find some people in the house will do their fair share of the chores, while others will sit back and ignore the mountain of washing up and never nip to Tesco to buy more milk.
And if you are one of those people who like to keep on top of the housework, you'll likely find yourself getting pretty annoyed with your fellow residents, pretty quickly.
A student named Ruth Came recently found herself in this situation after her housemates forgot to put the bin out four weeks in a row, leaving her to tackle the task.
So she devised a hilarious way to get back at them for not helping out.
Instead of leaving a passive aggressive note on the fridge, or firing off an angry text message to the WhatsApp group, Ruth decided to get creative.
She sent a link to a mysterious survey to her housemates, begging them to fill it in as it was regarding a cause that's "close and dear" to her heart.
Little did her pals know that when they clicked the link, they would be forced to answer a series of questions about the bins in their house.
Ruth's housemate India Ellis shared the survey on Twitter , writing: "If anyone wanted an insight into living with students, my housemate has just sent this survey to the house chat for us to fill in."
India then shared a series of screen shots, showing Ruth's message and some of the survey questions - and it's fair to say they're pretty passive aggressive.
Ruth said: "Guys can you please please please please pretty PLEEEEASE do this survey for me real quick. It'll take like 30 seconds and it's on a subject that's really close and dear to my heart. Thankeeee."
After clicking the survey link, India was met with the first question, which asks: "Do you know where the bins are situated?"
It offered two options for answers: "Of course, for I am a human being with eyes" and "Lol what is B I N."
The survey goes on to ask whether the housemates are aware that when bins are full, they require emptying and jokes about "the magical bin pixies" that empty the bin while they're all asleep.
The third question asks the housemates to simply empty the bins "once in a while" and only allows them to select "of course" as an answer, giving them no choice in the matter.
The whole thing concludes with Ruth writing: "Did I create this survey PURELY because I'm salty about emptying all the bins for the fourth time in a row and wished to communicate this in a passive aggressive yet mildly witty way?"
Yes, we all know she did.
India's tweet about the survey went viral, garnering over 8,000 retweets and 51,000 likes.
More than 900 people also commented on the post, with many praising Ruth, including India who claimed she is her "icon".
Another person replied: "This person deserves an award."
A second posted: "We can relate."
Others said they might try it out for themselves in their shared houses, over issues such as the washing up.
