    From my experience:

    Living with 1 girl = clean
    Living with group of girls = unbelievably messy.

    Don't dip your penis in the peanut butter, it's inconsiderate.

    If you're silly enough to do the dishes unasked once, don't be suprised when you're expected to do it from that point onwards.

    On the peanut butter topic, throw away peanutbutter jars as soon as you're finished eating it or smearing it on your bits or w/e, it STINKS after a while. My flat last year was pretty messy, everybody's stomachs were pretty strong due to rotten eggs, solid milk, carbonated orange juice etc, but all five of us very nearly puked at the smell from an old peanutbutter jar, complete with scrapings of peanutbutter turned to black mould, which had ended up under the couch somehow. God it was gross. We (well, I) kept it and used to make visitors smell it.

    God love you. I only seen it at a party in a friends houe. Her flatmate was a bit of a skank used to leave used condoms around too....

    Heard a rumour she used to wash em, dry em out on the clothes horse and use em again:P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    • When you do the dishes, dry the feckin' things and put them back in the press. None of that leaving dishes on the draining board :mad:
    • Have to admit the old used tampons in the bathroom bin creeps me out too. And I'm a wimmin!
    • If you're going to have sex, don't stay at it all night and keep the house awake

    Do your fair share of the housework, do NOT touch my food without asking (I'm generous with it when I'm asked, but people nicking it gets on my tits), and don't use all the hot water.

    And don't be an obnoxious couple...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭newballsplease


    dont let your mate and his bird shag in ur housemates bed!

    Don't share with a Welsh "crwydriaid" who recycles the toilet paper by putting it on the window sill to use a second or third (or turd) time.. (EYUK).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    Take the fuking bin out once in a while.

    'Girls' - Its not your god given right to watch every single soap of an evening.

    Dont bring back complete strangers.


  • Posts: 31,118 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Dont bring back complete strangers.


    Especially ones that want the beat the crap out of you!

    I once opened the door to a knock and this "greebo" jumped past me and started beating the crap out of one of the housemates, then he just walked out again. :eek:

    Dodgy drugs deal or something... what a shithole

    Huh??? Whats the point in doing it otherwise?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭kayos


    Dont leave your clothes in the Washing machine for ages after its finished. I lived with a couple of girls who did this always annoying trying to get a wash on to find clothes in the washer. Emptied it one day and being nice hung up all the clothes for the girl. She then went ape at how dare I hang up her smalls! Heavens sake they are nickers not like she was in them at the time.

    Oh the other washing machine related pet peeve..... do you really need to put on a wash with 1 or 2 items! At the very least hit the econ or half load button if doing it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    - clean all drains of facial hair or hair from yer bits.
    - only use your own razer to do the above.
    - don't open the bread bin, realize the bread has exploded in a cloud of sporidium, only to close it again like nothing happened.
    - have more than one telly in the house, and if you want to play resident evil 4 for four hours ensure to pull a complete hissy fit so no-one will ever ask you to change the channel.
    - blare your death metal music AT ALL TIMES. When cleaning the dishes. When cooking. When pushing dinner out your poop chute. It helps to have those collapsible speakers you can plug in to your mp3 player.

    - oh and fill the kettle for the whole household.
    - and save energy, y'know switch lights off when you leave the room etc.

    Agreed

    Double Agreed... you don't need EVERY soap....

    I friend of mine brought 5 people back to MY house one night after the pub and they robbed us blind... needless to say, he's not very welcome anymore...
    Huh??? Whats the point in doing it otherwise?

    Yeah......explain yourself!!!

    I have a few rules but the only one I'm a real stickler about is that the only drugs allowed in my house at sessions is weed and pills, I hate people on speed and coke and well, all the other ones
