What is considered "normal"?

capedcrustacian

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.

Karl Hungus

Normal? A nice pair of slacks.

biko

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

Are the females attractive? That's all that matters really..

Kiera

Are you sure she's a girl?

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?

You're living with a bunch of hippies in a squat somewhere, right?

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.

Normal is everything you are not.

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.

What ages are they?
Are they students?

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

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

m@cc@

'Normal' and 'mediocre' go hand in hand. You should asprire to be either.

Ah but she doesn’t use toilet roll either (how the op knows this is beyond me) I defiantly think she’s a he!

exactly!! surely it's not normal like? They are in their early 20's and both working in well paid jobs, but they still behave like students lol

a friend they had over to stay pooed in the bath tub once too, which was nice....

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:

great, i'm not alone!! did you ever ask her why? I've asked her on numerous occasions to flush but she just shrugs n says she forgets, I'm embarrassed when friends come over because of it. also noticed the smell of wee eminating from her room lately, perhaps she has some erm, problems?

erm, she has neither of the above, she's a bit, um, how to put it nicely.....hmmm, picture a burely truck driver, give it breasts and, well, there you have it.

i'm no oil painting either btw, so it's not a personal attack on her, she can be very nice sometimes, but her hygiene is just abismal, and no matter how often i've tried to hint at it, it doesn't improve

Obviously had servants to wipe and flush after her.

jimmycrackcorm

To know what is normal, you need to create an after hours poll for each point. then you pick the second lowest vote count as the definition of normal - because the lowest vote is from the crackpots and the higher votes are from the usual after-hours wierdo posters.

emeraldstar

Ugh, get out OP, get out now :eek:

You dont drink during the week?

Is it normal to butcher a little girl and drive in an open topped convertable through 7 states, wearing her head as a hat?

No. It's not normal to quote Con Air either.

I wonder if she leaves her slot clot around the place also?

Time to move out of your family home OP!

isnt it about time you paid rent and moved out of the squat

mr president

any special reason why her friend did a poo in the bath?

that's the kicker, the house is lovely, i mean, it was when we moved in, but as time has gone on they have the place destroyed with food, it's everywhere.

I barely make enough to pay the rent and bills and it breaks my heart to think i've more than likely lost my deposit because of other peoples filth, is it normal to be so filthy? has anyone else experienced it?

SpookyDoll

Eurgh, she is a dirtbird to use the common parlance. Still though I would get the fook outta dodge and yeh pity about the deposit but you cant go on living with these skiddy knicker wearing filth bags......

Just move out and rent your room on to someone else. Get them to pay the deposit to you. It's musical chairs with the rooms until the whole place is vacated and then those unlucky few lose their deposits.

It's a pyramid scheme deal really!

Its not normal -they are animals

A word of advice get out of dodge - if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas

what I would do is make up a phantom job application and ask them if you get it would they be able to find someone to take your place.

A bit sneeky but if it gets you your deposit and gets you sharing with normall people who like clean toilets and pooh free baths dont concider rotten food normal

UGH - it sounds awful - i dont know how you can possibly tolerate it

i'd love to move sooner rather than later and also be able to warn anyone that encounters them what they are really like, cos when i first met them they came across as being really nice, and though admitted to being untidy, said they were very clean people.......guess i'm naive

minxie

ah move out and tell the landlord the reason why too....:)
