Weirdest thing your housemate has done?

    A guy in the house arrived back with a new pet snake one day, unannounced.

    His dad owned the house, I was only a tenant. He kept it in a glass case in the corner of the living room. He fed it mice which he bought at the pet food store and kept in the freezer in the kitchen.

    Im lucky my housemate (the boyfriend) doesn't mind when my frozen mice and tubs of live crickets and cockroaches are in the house :D
    Lizards gotta eat too!

    I've only lived with one inconsiderate prick, luckily!

    Having asked this guy to take out the bins a few times one week I walked past his bedroom door the following week to see the same full binbags in his room. He decided to keep them there out of my sight rather than take them 4 floors down to the garbage shed of our apartment block. He wasn't working at the time so it's not as if he was busy or anything.

    One weeknight I was woken up by shouting from the living room. Went in to find him bollock naked and drunk, hanging out the window shouting at people below "Who do you think you are? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?". Cue him sulking on the couch whilst I call the Guards when the four youths he had been shouting at start throwing rocks at the apartment windows.

    Another time he decided to wash his rugby boots in the shower. Whilst wearing them. Bathtub was badly scratched and marked. I had to start locking my room when he started taking my tablet out and using it without asking. He also slept about 80% on the living room couch rather than his double bed. I don't know why. Eventually had to kick him out by changing the locks when he stopped paying rent. I should have done it much sooner. Such an a-hole and lesson learned.

    He sounds like a serious loopaa. Would the reason he preferred sleeping on the couch be related to the presence of month old bins in his bedroom?!!

    No housemates that really compare to what's on this thread. Relieved I've never had to live with some of these people, sad I've nothing major to share.

    I've lived in one shared apartment with my boyfriend and another couple, it was a 3 bed so it wasn't too bad, there was an unoccupied room in the middle for a while.

    The other couple pretty much stayed in their room the entire time till crazy o' clock and then would start cooking food. And leave all the dishes there for the next day. One night one of the two of them vomited on the carpet and just moved the couch over to cover it up. We found out when we noticed the couch moved from where it usually is and moved it back. :/

    We had a guy who moved in then and spent the entire time in the shared kitchen/living room. He'd walk around and have the loudest phone conversations you'd ever heard! My boyfriend didn't like him much, he was a little bit of a cranky fecker but there's been worse. We were watching Mr Bean one night and the next day got given out to because the television was too loud... I'm not even sure I can fathom that.

    A couple of months before we left, our landlady arrived in saying "this is X, he's your new housemate". Which was grand, we were talking for about 10 minutes, I explained "there's two other guys living here too". Blah blah, he asked if they were gay and I said yeah I think so, as you do. And then after another minute or two of talking he said "right well I'm gonna get my stuff, see ye" and never came back. Yes a bit homophobic but a good laugh all the same!

    The last guy in before we moved just stole the other couple's milk, so that's not too bad :-D

    Room came up in the apartment i was in and was rented to a girl we thought seemed nice, if a litttle shy and quiet.

    The next day her boyfriend basically moved in and stayed every feckin night. They would spend all of their time in the room and would not leave if they thought they might run into someone in the kitchen/ living room.

    They would come in at 2 in the morning and proceed to have ridiculously loud sex, with your one moaning like she was in a porn shoot. No consideration for other flatmates who had neighbouring rooms, who they would wake.

    She was told the boyfriend couldnt live in the apartment. Your man just came anyway and sneaked around the place like a creepy navy seal. They then carried on as before, except trying to have quiet sex.

    In an effort to avoid anyone else in the apartment, they stopped washing their dishes and just piled them up in their room untill we literally had no plates, glasses or cups left.

    Took ridiculous lengths to get them to pay their share of bills. One of the other flatmates texted the girl to try to get her to pay and she responded by text that your man 'should delete her number'. It was amazing.

    My old housemate once told us she wanted to treat us so she cooked us all a huge dinner. Then the next day she charged us a tenner each for it :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭cruais


    Had a housemate swear he left rent money in the sitting room. Nope. Nowhere to be found and it was just us sharing. Never got the money back either.

    Also got stung on another sunny evening. He suggested a quite pint in the beer garden. Sure says I, so we walked to the pub

    On the way he says he needs to stop at an atm but suprise, suprise, he had no cash. He tried to say it was the machine that was dodgy and could he borrow money.

    I hold my hands up, I was a door mat as the tight fûcker never paid that money back either.

    Ive so much more stories but id be here alll night

    Once lived with a guy for a year that was a bit like the Brad Pitt character from True Romance.

    He spent nearly all the time on the couch stoned. Used to take 2 hour long bubble baths with candles and music, afterwards the bath would be full of potpourri and flower petals.

    Would always fall asleep leaving candles lit and/or windows open - we lived on the ground floor so you were constantly worried you'd get burgled or he'd set the place on fire.

    Met a girl from the States on an internet chatroom and fell madly in love with her. Paid for her flights over to Ireland and when she arrived they disappeared into his room for 2 weeks solid - never saw them at all, used to just hear one of them scuttle to the kitchen for food every now and then before disappearing back to the bedroom.

    They had a massive fight about a month later with loud screaming and banging. She threatened to kill herself, had to call the Guards eventually. He ended up paying for a hotel for her for a couple of nights and her flight back to America.

    I moved out soon after.

    Too much drama,

    We had a house mate who was a primary school teacher...we thought great a nice friendly small children teacher. She was only about 5ft, dressed well, wore glasses, spoke well...She even had her mam help her move in, lovely lady.

    Then as she was going out on nights out she would dress a bit goth-ish and we thought ok surprising as she looked totally different in her day to day wear...

    Then she started bringing guys back...2am...had sex against our bedroom door with some guy....the next weekend chucked all the stuff off the kitchen table and had sex on it. This happened Friday and Saturday nights, on Sundays morning I would blast mass that used to be on the TV. This continued until we asked her to leave. I was left to clean her filthy room that had used condoms all under the bed and mattress...sick behatch.

    You never can judge a book by it's cover.

    One housemate -well, technically 'long-term crasher' who helped out with the bills from time to time - who used to hide his food in the bathroom. He'd pull out the front panel of the bath and hide his grub under there. We discovered this when he forgot to lock the door one day and he was discovered sitting on the loo eating fried chicken from his 'stash'. Same fella built a sleeping area for himself in the wardrobe where he would spend hours. On investigation we found that he had a small back and white TV in there.

    Lived in residential halls on campus in a college in the states for a while during my post grad.

    First semester myself and a guy from Hawaii who is still a good friend were put into suite with a guy from Florida. At first we thought sweet, maybe we can go visit Miami or Naples during one of the holidays but then we found out he was an absolute hillbilly from the pan handle near Georgia and Alabama.

    He was a political science graduate doing law in grad school, so we assumed he'd be grand.

    All he did was sit on the couch watching Fox News and reading books about the US constitution by racist scumbags like Glenn Back and Rush Limbaugh.

    He'd say the most racist ****e all the time which was awkward because the other room mate was half native Hawaian and very proud of it.

    Eventually he starts trying to goad us into debates on everything from gun control to gay marriage to American foreign policy (was during the bush presidency). He'd get really wound up and aggressive about and could never actually make a coherent argument so we just started egging him on and winding him up and breaking ourselves laughing at him.

    So one day he's especially wound up and going on a rant about border security and comes out with something along the lines of "I've half a mind to go join the citizen patrol and put the glock in my glove box to good use".

    The ****ing psychopath was driving around a college campus, in a state where he doesn't have a licence to carry a gun. We freaked the **** out. So we talked about it for a few days and decided to go to the campus cops about it as there had been a few cases around that time of mass shootings on campuses.

    Cops did an inspection of his car and room and found two pistol, about 200 rounds, holsters, a 6 inch butterfly knife, copies of Mien Kemph and a load of other fecked up stuff.

    They ended up going deep on him and dud forensic checks on his laptop and Web usage but thankfully there was no "manifestos" or scary lists or ****. Just loads of traffic on message boards about local militias and stuff like that.

    He was suspended pending investigation and later expelled from the university.

    Twas a scary time.

    Back in my early 20s I was sharing a place with 2 guys in Chicago. One guy moved out as went back home out west. So we got landed with another guy at the landlords choosing.

    Out first introduction to this guy after we both came in from watching a game together was this new guy sitting on the couch naked with the a/c on full blast (it was December in Chicago... Freezing), some mad speed metal shít blaring and knitting. Didn't cover himself to stand up and introduce himself. In full glory just says, hi I'm Mark, the new housemate and goes back to knitting.

    Didn't see him the next day but the day after, again me and the other guy come in after a watching a game. And he's knitting again. He hands us a knitted tube each and calmly says these will keep your penis warm during the winter. And then goes onto say he made mine bigger than the other guys as he figured I'd need it because I'm black. I'm not black by the way. But I did need it :). Apologised to the other guy and then went to bed.

    He done loads of weird stuff before going missing 2 weeks later. Never took his stuff and we filed a police report. I moved from Chicago a few months later and his stuff was never claimed. No idea what happened him in the end. Had looked out for his name in the media but didn't see anything.

    I hate to stereotype, but as soon as I heard Georgia I knew exactly where this was going. Apart from Mein Kampf there was nothing there I expected not to read. That part of the US is the Western answer to Saudi Arabia, a scarily awful part of the world.

    Lived with


    a bona fide sex addict who was in his 20s and using viagra for that extra kick. It didn't matter what they looked like, once they were female, he went for them.

    A former raver who went straight edge after meeting God on a lsd trip. Was also a biker.

    Another former raver who was mad into MMA, sleeper holded a lot of people and punched through one of our windows once.

    a Chinese lad who cooked in his room and was a mad online gamer. Barely ever saw him but he was nice.

    a science student who would wash himself in the back garden in full view of passer bys, was cultivating an interest in naturism and also liked to jump out at people randomly to wrestle with them.

    We lived together ten months. I'm not sure how I survived. I'm weird too but I'd say in their company I was the normal one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Stayed there on a Saturday and one of the other lads living there thought the house was empty as I usually go home. Was awoken by screams of DJANGOOOOOOOOO and him running up and down the hallway outside. Bear in mind at that stage we barely knew each other. Was hard to get out of the room that day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Was sharing a house with 4 other random people for years. Lots came and went, and often strangers would move in in their place. The vast majority were sound and easy enough to live with, apart from one absolute freak.

    It started out harmless enough, in that he would just kind of stare at people in the living room while making really weird conversation. Then he started sitting at the very back of the living room in silence so that you couldn't watch TV in peace without being freaked out

    Then the late night furniture moving started. My bedroom was right above the living room, which had a tiled floor. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to hear him dragging the couch, table, chairs etc across the floor and then back again. Repeatedly. When I pointed this out to him the next day, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. One night another flatmate came down for a glass of water in the middle of the night, turned on the light in the kitchen and he was just been standing there, staring into space.

    Then I got stuck with him one night when one of his equally strange mates called over. They were having a few beers in these tankards, and would only talk in 'Ye Olde English.' Whenever I got up to leave they started shouting at me and asking what was wrong. they kept shouting out the window as I walked down the street

    Eventually, one of my other flatmates had enough and made every threat under the sun, from having the landlord kick him out to knocking his teeth in. He was gone by the end of the week

    We got a new housemate a few weeks ago. Suffice to say, given the title of the thread, he's fairly weird. I can't type out all the sh*te he's pulled over the past few weeks, because I don't know if he goes on Boards.

    But, I've just come from the bathroom to find the bathroom seat up (annoying, but not that annoying), and, when I put it down, there were drops of liquid (either water or pee) all over the seat. That didn't get there from peeing with the seat up, and hitting the seat - they were far too central on the seat. I don't know if that's understandable. But, probably took some effort? It wouldn't surprise me at all at this stage if he urinated on the seat, then put the seat up, just to leave a disgusting, urine 'surprise' for the next person to go to use the loo.

    Ugh.

    He's the most disgusting creature.

    I know this is off topic but I don't get this "he left the toilet seat up" equals crisis logic.
    1) it is easy to put it back down
    2) It would be far worse if he left it down and peed
    3) you never hear a guy whining about how a girl left the toilet seat down! Which is an inconvenience for men (see previous point)

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,912 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Women only ever use it with seat down. guys use it both ways so it makes sense to keep it down. :)

    No bad logic number 1s are more frequent then number twos!

    Then there's the fact that especially once you've had a kid or two you don't get much warning at all that you need the loo combined with our urethras being much shorter than those of men, which adds up to sometimes running in with barely enough time to get our trousers and knickers down before spinning super fast to sit down. If the seat is up we're going to end up in the bowl risking a urinary tract infection whilst trying not to piss ourselves.

    Hope that finally explains things for you.

    Not really you could just squat instead!

    But in a house with both male and female occupants Seat Down is more frequent than Seat Up, so seat down should be the default.

    No, seat down is pure laziness and you know it it.

    Seat up, boys have a bigger body mass than women, therefore drink more liquids to stay hydrated and obviously do pee pees more, seat up.

    used to live with this lad who worked nights in the airport.
    He'd come home with a gang at 8am and they'd have a full on party weed, E , coke and music most mornings.
    Didn't bother me cos I was leaving for work anyway at that time.

    There was 1 guy in the house had internet and a pc , this was dial up days.
    the airport fella used to go into that fellas room and masturbate watching porn on your mans' bed.

    he couldn't go out on the piss without being beaten-up. every single time. One of those guys who always had an opinion that had to be announced even if it was to a gang of scumbags.

    he'd row with me when we were on our own and then deny it to the rest of the lads in the house. And when they were around he was my best mate , beer, weed you name it he'd be giving it to me .

    On our own he'd start ranting , raving and threatening me. Came to a head , he punched me once randomly and I boxed the head off him.
    Then later that day he was my best mate again when the other lads were there so I figured I'd kill him or he'd kill me so i got a new place.
    He ended up in john of gods a few years later.

    FFS, less toilet seat debating, more dodgy stories.

    Joined a house with 4 other lads on year in college, the others were all friends and moving in togethor for the first time.

    One guy was a total weirdo, he'd eat takaways and leave half a plates sitting around with food on them every day, he broke the handle off a door just to see if he could...
    Probably his worst habit would be to sit there staring at you and respond to everything you said with "No, you.." followed by whatever you had just said.

    Come the end of the year his "mates" wanted nothing to do with him.

    Moved into a new place this time last year, had yet to meet one of the house mates.

    Woke up at about 3am one night to gentle knocking on my bedroom door, it was the housemate id never met, standing there in his underwear, wanting to welcome me to the house and could he come in for a chat!

    Arghhhhhh the visuals!

    Just after uni I moved into a shared house one of the other housemates used to wash his socks in the toilet.

    He'd go in, sit on a chair with his socks on his feet then flush the toiled and wash them in the water. He'd be at that until all is socks were washed.......

    ......then it was into the oven with them to dry!

    We knocked the oven thing on the head, so he moved to leaving them on the hot water cylinder (fair enough).

    All his other clothes were washed when he went home to mammy.

    Weirdo #2 was another house I shared when I moved jobs. She was a lovely girl when sober, but once when she got to a certain level of drunkenness she became a real handful, picking fights with people even when we were trying to help her. The crunch came when she put one of the other housemates in hospital when she smacked him over the head with a wine bottle - the next morning she remembered nothing but did have the good sense to go get help of her own.

    I had an Italian guy who said he loved a good steak. He came back one day with one and cooked it in the microwave!!! I asked him if it wasn't better to cook it in a pan on the stove. Apparently it takes too long and the taste is the same at the end...

    Also lived with a primary school teacher who everyday at 3pm ( the rest of the house finished work at 5pm) would land back from work, change into her dressing gown, put on one of these mud mask type things and cucumbers over her eyes and LOCK, yes LOCK herself in the living room until about 9pm that night. She didnt have the tv on, she would just sit in there in complete darkness, curtins closed and ignoring if we knockeed (or banged) on the door. When confronted she said she needed to rest after her stressful day at work. Every fecking day was a stressful one it seems.

    Without fail, this happened every single day. I eventually lost it with her and took the lock out of the living room door one weekend.

    Possibly the most inconsiderate bitch i've ever had the pleasure of meeting

    this is what got me, she did!

    She had the biggest bedroom in the house!

    When I first took the lock out she tried to barricade the door from inside the living room with the furniture.

    Absolute lunatic.
