    I've been wondering about this alot as I am having problems with friends and housemates behaviour and actions. I wonder if they are normal and I am not? Or vice versa??


    Examples:
    a friend of mine drinks most days and makes fun of me as i only drink occasionally at the weekend.

    my female house mate pees on the toilet seat and leaves it there, doesn't flush, and apparently, does not use toilet paper.

    all my housemates go to bed before 7pm except on weekends when they stay in bed TILL 7pm then get up and go out

    friends and housemates rarely/never change bed linen or wash bath towels.

    So what do ye think?

    Their behaviour is perfectly normal. For vampires.

    If you have to wonder if you're normal you probably aren't. Everyone else is normal, just not you.

    Theres nothing wrong with drinking only at the weekend, its what makes the weekend good to look forward to. Your female friend that pees on the toilet seat...thats dirt! Pull her in over it, you dont want to be the one cleaning the seat everytime, Why do your housemates go to bed before 7PM?

    Ehhh.... Peeing on the toilet seat, not flushing, not using toilet paper, not changing bed sheets or bath towels...?

    Poor hygene is never attractive.

    i have no idea, i've come to the conclusion it's to avoid having to have conversations but it's left me in a position where i may as well be living alone

    So no one told you life was going to be this way.
    Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
    It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
    Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

    But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
    I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
    I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

    You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.
    You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.
    Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
    But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.

    That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
    I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
    I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

    No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.
    Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
    Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,
    Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.

    It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
    Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

    Probably not normal but I think we should celebrate diversity, not try to stifle it.

    Well take comfort in the fact that you dont need to drink everyday unlike your mates.

    I'm still trying to figure out how a girl could consistently wee on the toilet seat :confused::confused::confused:

    Unless she also thinks they're a bunch of dirtbirds and is "hovering"...

    Yeah, I once shared with a girl that didn't flush after a dump and quite often there was no toilet paper in the bowl either, just an evil brown turd greeting me from the bowl as I went to the bathroom in the morning :(

    Durty! Yet this girl considered herself to be in the 'upper ranks of upper middle class', thanks to the family dynasty of attendance at Cambridge University. :rolleyes:

    The only rational-ish explanation is shes tryin to be environmentally friendly..saving water by not flushin etc. If its not that...well pity the poor lad who has to get jiggy with her and her non-wiped bits!:eek:
