Roommate vs Friend vs Stranger...

How to define roommate, friend, and stranger?

These are my own definition.
Roommate is someone who lives with you. (No other meaning, simple and precise)

Friend is someone who is good with you, can chat, eat, drink, and whatever with you, but at least you will have some conversation with him/her.

Stranger is someone who you don’t know, talk less with, or even no conversation.

Sometimes, thing happened in this world is very funny and unbelievable.

Let say, one day in class, you were not feeling well and decided to go home earlier. But then, you didn’t bring you bag. Will you call your roommate or your friend to help you to take it back? Dear reader, I am sure your answer should be roommate. Unless several conditions:
a) You are living alone.
b) Your roommate is a stranger.
c) Your roommate is very fierce.
d) You never talk with your roommate.
e) You just have a quarrel with your roommate.
f) Your roommate is smaller or weaker than your friend, so you don’t want to trouble him.
g) You and your roommate are not in the same class.
h) Your roommate will never go back to room.
i) You and your roommate are not living in the same room. (Very confused?)
j) The distance to your friend’s room is nearer than the place to your roommate’s room. (What the hell I am talking about?)
k) You don’t have your roommate’s phone number.
l) You failed to call your roommate-your roommate didn’t bring his/her hand phone, no battery, no line, is off.
m) You use 012 but your roommate is using 013/016/019, while your friend is using 012. Therefore, to save 10cents, you choose your friend.

Beside these, I don’t really know is there any possible reasons. Did I miss out any reason?

You may have a friend who is your roommate.
You may have a friend but not your roommate.
You may have a roommate who is your friend.
You may have a roommate but who is not your friend.
You may have a roommate but who is a stranger.
But, is there any friend who is a pair of stranger? Who know?

Therefore, if you have a roommate, try to identify which sentence is suitable for you and him/her.
