Anyone who's ever had a roommate can answer THAT one! :~) I think it's easier to get 
pissed (meaning angry, not drunk) when it's a friend, as if there's a betrayal factor 
involved.

One of my fave Joni lines is from her masterpiece Jericho:

"Everybody knows just how hard it is to make & keep a friend"

Bob, who bought a safe and put it in his apt. kitchen when a roommate kept eating his 
food.
