Hellish Housemates

Toto Wolfcastle

My God my housemate is annoying. I'm sorry, but is cleanliness not a basic thing amongst most grown people? How can she not notice that we have no clean cutlery or plates because it's all in her room? And how did she not notice that she had spilled half a carton of milk on the kitchen floor even though she walked IN it?

I'm sure that's pretty mild compared to others. Anyone want to make me feel better by telling me their horror stories about their housemates?

There's no point crying over spilled milk.

I shared with a guy who sang Eastern Mantras into the wee small hours. We got shot of him first opportunity. His cooking was great though in fairness!

Ha, I had that one coming!!

My main problem is we are in student accommodation where you pay a lump sum for ESB up front, and if we go over we've to pay the extra. There's only two of us so that shouldn't be a problem, right? Except I found out yesterday that she has had the heater in her room on for 6 weeks straight, and we were warned that it's pretty expensive to run. So funny, she asked me when we were getting the ESB bill. Had just handed over the ESB money at the start, and still thought we'd be billed!!

I shouldn't complain, I see her for 5 minutes a day because she never leaves her room. And plenty of hot water because she never showers. (Just sprays on men's deodorant!)

Oh and I feel intelligent because I know more about the subject of her MA (films) than she does.....it's Meryl Streep dumbass, not Meryl Steep. And Blood Diamond was nominated for 5 Oscars, how did you not hear about it?

Handbags at dawn! Hah hah.

But I know what it's like living with hellish housemates. I don't want to get into any details, just in case they happen to read this sometime, but lets just say many an arguement was had in past accomodations.

moco

Well well well, where do I start?

1. Landlord who unlocked my bedroom door, stole my knickers off the heater then hid in the attic..

2. Flatmate who I awoke at 5 in the morning to find standing over me naked..

3. Flatmate who locked the microwave in her room when she went on holidays so nobody else could use it..

4. Several flatmates who never buy toilet roll, just hid it in their room.

5. Flatmates dealing drugs from their room with a constant stream of customers..

6. One who turns the hot water off all the time so I can't shower in the mornings (the controls are in his room)

7. The raving alcoholic, there really are too many incidents to meniton but include hiding my cd's, verbally attacking me on a daily basis and trying to change the locks because I wasn't home at the time she thought I would be..

8. the other alcoholic who went to thump me when I said I was moving out (he also didn't believe in wasting money on electric for a fridge so food was put floating in a bucket of water).

9. One who kept incontinent cats in the house, they constantly had diahorrea which was often to be found dripping down radiators etc.

OP-I hope you're feeling better now lol.

Does her name being with R (film student) or A (from South America) by any chance?

You would not believe some of the flatmates I've had

Example1: "R" would leave her used tampons on the floor if the bin was full (rather than change the bin, etc.)
Example2: "R" thought the sink was a bin. So the sink would be full of rubbish. She'd then fill it with water WITHOUT REMOVING THE RUBBISH and rinse dishes in it. I cannot stress how dirty her "washed" dishes were.
Example3: "A" left a bowl of milk on the table. As an experiment I left it there to see what would happen. One month later we had blue/black/cream coloured fur growing on our table.
Example4: "M" would bring home 3 - 4 random men a week to have sex with. For a while she was bringing back a homeless man. I have lots of computers, etc. Very worrying.

I could go on and on. I've been so unlucky with flatmates my adverts on daft are no ultra specific, such as, no people with mental illnesses, no people with money problems, no people who have been described as dirty, difficult, or psycho. And on and on...

Nightwish

*I shared a house with stray cats. We couldnt figure out where they were coming from as they'd still get in when all doors and windows were locked.
*Exhibitionist girl who would scream/moan louder during sex if she knew there was someone else at home. She never left her room, and only let her boyfriend out of the room to make her dinners etc. She couldnt/wouldnt shower without him. If we spoke to him she'd yell at him for flirting with us. She robbed clothes, jewellery and accessories from the other girls in the house when they went home at the weekend. She never touched my stuff as I was just known as the "goth girl".
*Lived in a flat where the walls were paper thin and my room was next to a guy who was on the net all night and slept all day and I could hear him pleasuring himself to asian porn every night.
*One house was raided by the cops looking for our landlord.
*I woke up one morning to find my landlord standing over me in my bedroom. I later found out he had senile dementia and had a tendency to wander into the house at any time of day or night.

That sounds like the makings of the funniest film ever!

Holy Christ!
I've had the usual annoyances -
- Boyfriends staying EVERY SINGLE motherf*cking night and not contributing a cent to rent/bills or doing an iota of cleaning
- Hi-jacking of the bathroom for ridiculously long periods
- Girls who had to have a shower before bed so that they'd be nice and clean for their boyfriend (funnily enough he never bothered having a shower) and then another shower in the morning, thus the bathroom would be manky from all the damp, yet they STILL insisted we all clean the bathroom an equal amount
- Screaming during sex
- A girl with a fetish for law-breaking scumbags and bringing various ones back
- A girl who never cleaned up properly so there were always bits of food on "washed" plates, on the floor etc
- A girl with a psycho boyfriend who, on the rare occasions he wasn't staying over, would ring several times during the night to keep tabs on her
- One house where it was non-smoking but it was agreed if we wanted a cigarette during really bad weather, we could have one in the kitchen. Then a bossy bitch moved in and bullied everyone (except me) into putting a stop to this.

Yeah, I shared with an Egyptian guy who'd play Eastern music for half the night really loudly. And then it would start again early in the morning.
Unfortunately he wasn't a good cook.
So, like I said: the usual annoying, irritating stuff, but some of the flatmates people on this thread have had are actually PSYCHOS!!!

rossie1977

guy who held many house parties, one party in particular destroyed the entire upstairs, including pulling all the plaster off the walls, breaking the toilet, ripping out the bannisters on the stairs.

every day he would invite his junkie friends to come over and they would spend hours in the sitting room smoking dope, drinking and popping ecstasy pills. One morning the supervisor called to our apartment (when i was gone) and found the gang all together in the room totally stoned, no more of him or his friends after that

Hmmm, holy fúck! :eek:

The last place I was living, one of the guys had a tendency to bring random strangers home just because he felt sorry for them. He met some homeless guy one night and invited him back. Next morning the fúcker flooded the bathroom, my bathroom! :mad: He kept coming back and left all his clothes in our place. We threw his bags of clothes into the landing outside the front door to try and get rid of him. They stayed there for 3 weeks. Turns out he was coming back every night to get changed without saying a word. We ended up having to throw everything into the skip outside. The same skip was set on fire a couple of nights later (not by us ) and we never saw Mr. Homeless guy again.

Apart from that, it's all been rosy!

Had a housemate years ago, he was bolloxed drunk and walked into my room and started pissing on my bed thinking he was in the toilet, he turned left instead of right and ended up in my room. I was on the way to my room when I saw him leaving, my quilt was soaked. I grabbed my crappy cheap quilt walked into his room and swappedquilts, my crappy quilt for his goose feather quilt. Great exchange, so everything worked out well in the end

Nicely done. To waste that would have been a shame. I think the mods will agree. dublindude, it only results in a banning if it's completely unnecessary. I think it would warrant a banning NOT to take advantage of that one!

lol, my cousin had the same problem as this (a housemate of hers kept bringing home random strangers like homeless people) and letting them stay.

bman

Lived with a guy who used to piss in the sink in his room rather than go to the toilet, which might i add was just next door to his room. Apparently the guy that was in that room before him once went on a bender in the room for 3 days. When he emerged and left the house, his house mates took a look into the room and found puke and **** everywhere. He was evicted shortly afterwards!!

Strange room, that.

Well theres your answer, OP. Just take all her clothes to a skip and set fire to it.

The Al Lad

tell the stanky tramp to wash her feet, tell her "OI...NOOOOOOOOO......was your feet ya dirty tramp...and sort your life out"

I've had a few completely useless housemates.

When living in student accomadation an Indian guy was put into our apartment, as the rest were full. He would spend his days sprawled across the couch sleeping, so that no one could watch TV or use the kitchen/living room. He would then spend his evenings reading out load terrible chick lite books, before inviting over his friends to watch Bollywood films into the early morning hours, after which he would go into the room he shared with my other house mate and listen to the songs from said film on his mobile. The worst thing was that he would wash his clothes in the shower, while he was taking a shower. He tried to ise my shower one day, and when I said no he started calling me racist and asked if he was irish would I deny him the use of my shower? He did'nt last long. We took the plug off the TV, I took my DVD player into my room and whenever he would play his music myself and other housemate would play Grindcore music as loud as possible. When he moved out, the same day as my other house mate incidently I discovered blue molded pans, plates, cups and dishes under his bed. There was two inches of dirt at the bottom of the shower in their ensuite, and his bed sheets were filthy.

My next house mate was nearly as bad. He would delight in bringing back the drunkest, ugliest, esiest skank he could find on any given night aswell as his motley gang of drunken, drugged out dropout cohorts. They would usually spend the night listening to music and having sex, very, VERY loudly. At one stage there were 6 of his friends living in our hallway, and two in the kitchen. I was okay with it for a day or two, but I went in one evening to watch Stargate, and one of his friends girlfriends, the most unattractive goth chick I have ever met refused to give me the remote for my TV as she was watching her soaps. I think that was the final straw as next thing I know I have the fire extinguisher in hand and I'm emptying it's contents allover the lot of them. Did'nt seem them, or my housemate again for quite some time. Even thinking about it now, calms me.

Tee hee you ALL win!! Funnily enough, as someone mentioned, her name does begin with R. And she is doing a useless course, but I wont be mentioning it because I'm afraid she'll see this. (Actually, she wont, she'll be too busy with her Harry Potter roleplays online.)
My boyfriend is visiting next week so I'm going to use him to annoy the crap out of her. Any suggestions???

Only had 1 flatmate besides my ex girlfriend, talk about a useless fooker.

I let him move in after myself and the missus broke up as he was from Mayo and was doing an apprenticeship down here, his girlfriend and my ex were best friends so we used to get on ok(due to a love of PES really). Anyway, he moved in to the flat in January and i wanted him gone by february. He was a joke, he was there for 7 months and i think he done the dishes 3-4 times.

Used to cook fries every day, leave every plate, frying pan, spatula(for flipping eggs etc) lying all over the counter so the grease ran everywhere.

Used to spit in the sink when there were dishes in there waiting for him to wash

Had a bad habit of taking the cushions off the couch and bring them into his room when he was drunk

Used to bring his coont of a girlfriend over EVERY night, not very nice cause she's a screamer and generally just a b1tch

Couldnt handle his drink, got drunk and got sick in the bathroom(yes bathroom, not toilet, all over the floor)

I came home from work one day last summer about 1 o'clock to this awful smell, couldnt figure out where it was coming from for a few hours. Searched every room but still couldnt place it. Had a look in his room, there was puke all over the floor(he had a curry cheese chip the night before). It was sweltering outside, his curtains were closed and it was just bubbling away there on his floor.

Used to take plates, cutlery, glasses into his room all the time. They'd come out about 4 weeks later covered in fur and mould and he still wouldnt wash them.

God i fúckin hate him, im living with a mate who ive known for 15 years now and its great.

OMG... No sense of fun, wow emm you wouldent belive me if i told u the way we lived so ill have to find a movie... Its called fun with friends, its more important than getting the right amount of sleap of worring about your deposit or eating right or being clean or drinking too much.

Dont think anyone cares how much someone drinks, sleeps or pays deposits but being clean and tidy isnt hard.

AARRRGH

I always find it weird...

There are so many freaky flatmates, but they probably seem "normal enough" in the outside world...

There are unsolved murders and rapes all the time... it's possible we work with some of those people.

You never really know who the freaks are!

Dudess

Very true.

A friend of mine worked with a girl who was very annoyed at the fact that a housemate was regularly nicking her food - fair enough.

She couldn't figure out which one it was, so she decided to set a trap. She knew that drinking any urine other than your own would make you sick (is that true??) so she promptly pissed into her bottle of Coke and put it back in the fridge.

Later that day, one of the guys in the house was violently sick - she figured it had to be him. So... she went down to his room and pissed in his bed. :eek:

Y, I agree, I mean, if you're cooking for 1 once a day (eating in college the rest of the day) and all you cook is frozen pizza then I can't see how difficult it is to wash one plate. I mean, I cook 'proper' food (not frozen stuff) and I still manage to wash everything. I'm the messiest person I know, my room is a disgrace, but communal areas should be kept clean.

I think my problem is that the girl, although she's less than a year younger than me (she's 21) is about as mature as a 12 year old. Because of that I don't have to deal with loud parties or anything else mentioned above. It just irritates me that she actually thinks it's ok to live in filth.

And for God's sake woman, wash your clothes (all 4 items) more than every 3 weeks.

I'm all for having fun but when you've been in college from 9 til 7 sometimes you just want to go home to a clean house.

Nice that she could get into his room....my housemate locks her door everytime she leaves resulting in 10 minutes of fumbling with keys because she's an idiot. Ya, like I want to go in and steal your Harry Potter crap.
Maybe she's guarding against potential burglars, who have easy access to the house when she leaves the front door wide open. (And she wasn't even drunk!!)

Dudess

She told my mate this on a coffee break - casual as you like. My mate just backed away slowly and avoided contact with her from then on.

I used to lock my door whenever I left my apartment. I got home from my midterm break to find that my housemate had tried to take the lock of my door and when that failed tried to kick the door in. When asked what he was trying to accomplish, he told me that he needed some DVDs to watchand I was hiding mine in my room. He also used to leave the front door wide open each and everytime he went out

I had a lodger who used to sleep walk.
One night he walked into my room and went to take a piss on the digibox, which was on the floor at the time.
He was woken by a remote control hitting the back of his head.

Read the posts properly. Do you consider random dribbles of cat diarrhoea to be "fun"?

twanda

I don't have any 'horror stories' as such, but the most annoying experience I had with housemates was a girl I lived with who was the stingiest person for money that I have ever come across.

I remember whenever myself and another flatmate wanted to order some food to be delivered we would ask her if she wanted to order any and she would be like ''no, I've eaten, thanks..'' then as soon as the food would arrive this girl would literally sit staring at us eating - really made me feel uncomfortable - then she would ask to try some- We would give her some, and then she'd ask again.. and this would continue until we were finished..even if we moved out to another room to eat, she'd follow and sit there watching us.

It was a smoking house but she used to keep her cigarettes in her car - she'd go out and get one if she needed to smoke. I am convinced she was afraid one of us would actually ask for one.. she had no problem asking us for fags if she had none..

She also kept toilet roll in her room, and would use the ones that we bought in the bathroom - this prompted us to start keeping ours in our rooms...not very practical when you're in a rush to the toilet:rolleyes:

Whenever we had a houseparty - which she would be all on for -- she would never buy any drink for it. She would just ask people who came to the party if she could have one of their cans etc...We made sure to tell her - don't forget to buy some drink for yourself for the party - and she still wouldn't..

She got all of the food she ate from her mother - she would go home at weekends and bring back loads of tubberware dishes full of food and put them in the freezer - she never went grocery shopping..

This girl was on good money - in case any of you are wondering - she even changed her car for a brand new one.

I suppose we were too leniant on her and that didn't help - I was so happy to move out of that house..

When toilet roll starts getting kept in peoples room, I think that's the sign the flatmate relationship has broken down and one of you needs to move out.

Your cheap flatmate sounds horrible. Cheapness is a trait I really dislike in people. They can be lovely and funny and whatever, but if they're cheap, I can't help but dislike them.

Hhhmmm here's a bit about a few of the housemates I lived with while at uni.

A dope dealer who was mildly psychotic.

Alcoholic fruit machine addict who later became a cokehead.

Jeff the shed boy who lived in a shed in the back garden. Had quite a few issues and once got the living daylights beaten out of him by the above dope dealer.

Living in this house in my 2nd year, the landlord's daughter moved in for a bit, but we let the place get so dirty that she moved out. The living room floor was covered in old takeaway cartons, old newspapers, beer cans, wine bottles and other student detritus like dirty plates and stuff.

Glass in the front door got broken, my bedroom door got broken off its hinges, glass above the bathroom door got broken and another door had a hole kicked in it.

Next house we had to share with a tenant who was a rather large young lady who had a crackhead sister and all sorts of dodgy guys as friends / boyfriends / acquaintances. She had a kid who got taken off her by social services...Her sister nicked some stuff from my friend's bedroom.

On the top floor in a small apartment lived a couple of hippies and whenever they were at it, you could hear the top floor creaking and the occasional moan or whatever.

So that was all fun...

1. Landlord who unlocked my bedroom door, stole my knickers off the heater then hid in the attic..

2. Flatmate who I awoke at 5 in the morning to find standing over me naked..

5. Flatmates dealing drugs from their room with a constant stream of customers..

7. The raving alcoholic, there really are too many incidents to meniton but include hiding my cd's, verbally attacking me on a daily basis and trying to change the locks because I wasn't home at the time she thought I would be..

8. the alcoholic who went to thump me when I said I was moving out (he also didn't believe in wasting money on electric for a fridge so food was put floating in a bucket of water).

Its been years since we lived together, and you are still holding this grudge?


One of my mates lived with a beautiful looking Portugese girl who he suspected was probably a prostitute. There was noise in the bedroom every night in different accents, and when he heard the door closing in the small hours one night he looked out his window to see an extremely heavy set middle aged black chap getting into his taxi. Amazingly the landlady never said anything, despite the fact we regularly get a keep it down bang on the floorboards during drunken and heated FIFA matches on the PS2.


Another mate lived with a guy who had drug customers calling regularly, one night he came in and some mate was showing the guy his bullet proof vest. My mate got out quickly, which is odd seing as he is somewhat drug addled himself

I remember staying with a bunch of lads out in Santry. We would have these epic sessions on pro evolution on the PS2.. Always ended in a keypad being ****ed at the wall and someone going to bed in a bould mood...

We also used to have insane parties going till 9 am in the morning. We were staying with a really quiet polish guy who basically lived in his room (very cheap too). He would regularly come down for breakfast and we would still be at it in the sitting room..

One flat in Dublin I shared with 2 guys from Athlone. None of us were speaking to any of the others at one point and everyone was refusing to do household chores. The living room was turned into an illegal landfill, there was about 2 months worth of rubbish piled high in it. Any rubbish you had, you just opened the living room door and threw it on top of the pile :eek:

One girl in another house in Galway was one of those scary freaky silent people. Used to come across her at odd hours of the day and night in random parts of the house just standing and staring at nothing. For hours on end.

One of the Athlone guys above used to regularly sleepwalk and piss in the hallway

His skanger mates once set fire to the couch "for the laugh, like"

Last year we had a homeless guy living under the stairs outside our flat. Every morning there'd be a fresh human turd right outside our front door. No matter what we tried, he kept coming back, until the next door neighbour biker dude poured petrol on him and threatened to light him :eek:

One current flatmate has never, to my certain knowledge (cos my room is beside the bathroom, and he leaves for work before I do), used the shower. Not once. In 3 years. He never washes his dishes, takes out the bins, his chair in the living room has a huge mound of empty beer cans beside it...the smell from his room is indescribable

House in Ranelagh, one of the lads used to regularly go mental every few weeks and could be found climbing up and down a drainpipe from the back garden to the first floor with a saucepan on his head shouting wildly about socks and phoneboxes

One guy used to open tins of random foodstuffs and then leave them "to see what would happen". He had a shelf in his room with about 12 tins of mould growing. They were "his little friends", and he refused to throw them out

A flat in Derry in the early 90s got raided one morning by 30 heavily-armed RUC and Army looking for one of the lads (who had disappeared overnight mysteriously a few weeks previous) on terrorism charges

Our friendly local Provo above got drunk one night (before his vanishing) and had a case of explosive diarrhoea all over the bathroom. Very little of it anywhere near the actual bowl. We found him the next morning - naked, unconscious, in the bath - with sh1te everywhere

Tis very true that you never know someone till you live with them. The outside world probly thought all the above people were completely normal. Oh, and like somebody said, the old Toilet Paper Test (everyone keeping their own bogroll in their rooms) is usually the early-warning sign that a house has Gone Bad and it's time to leave before it all goes mental....
