House-mates from hell.

    What have your experiences with housemates, dorm-mates etc been like?

    I went to a boarding school, because of the mix of people I lived with, I'd consider myself to be a fairly open-minded person, and generally, I'm very laid back.

    However, a guy I've been living with for the past few months has reeeeally pushed my limits;

    - He changes the rent date every month, asking me for the rent on the day he needs it.

    - He has wild, spur-of-the-moment parties, with all his stoner pals with loud loud music blaring until 8am or so - I had to deal with the guards at the last party.

    - He steals my food / drink / cleaning stuff and even has the cheek to use them in front of me.

    - As our lease is up soon, he invited people to view the house - I found this out when a man came into my room, while I was getting dressed.

    ... He's done countless other things, but the man's basically a nightmare!

    Just looking for any of your stories about people you've lived with :D

    I like it - Hills style drama ;)

    If I can't join in, then I'm going to cause a scene!

    I would consider saying something, but they wouldn't understand me - yer man's Polish and none of his friends speak much/any English!

    Maybe a loaded gun would give them the hint? :pac:

    Two girls from my class in college were moving into the house, so I jumped at the chance to move in with them.

    Didn't realise he'd be part of the deal!

    Another amusing fact about him ; came home the other night to discover he'd done away with the couch in our living room.

    So, we now have a TV and nothing to sit on ;)

    I like moving into people's houses and amusing myself by driving them nuts.

    I take all the labels off the tinned goods.
    I put my toenail clippings in their shoes.
    I leave a floater in the toilet.
    Sometimes I'll even get it out with a spoon and put it in the cistern.
    I'll put the spoon back in the drawer.
    I put my pubes on the soap.
    I'll answer other people's phones and say "They don't want to speak to you."
    I leave fridge magnets on the TV.
    I defrost the freezer and leave all the perishable goods out to go bad, especially after a big shop.
    I put marmite in the peanut butter and pour a little coffee in the sugar bowl every now and then.
    Leave cat food and cans of tuna open in the back garden to encourage strays.
    Use other people's towels to butt-floss after a shower, then put them back where I found them.

    My roommate is a nightmare. Always shooting-up heroin in my bedoom. Always wants the top bunk. Always wants to rape me during the night when all I'm trying to do is get a good nights sleep. I tells ya, prison isn't as glamourous as the make it out to be in the movies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭Cake Man


    HAha nice one! Livin with 3 others that are just pure messy and lazy fcukers that haven't hands to wipe der own arses and I just happen to be the nice tidy, organised one! No need to put ur glass, plate etc. in the dishwasher, just leave it in the sink for somebody else (i.e. me) to do it GRRR!:mad: Despite the fact that the dishwasher is geographically closer to the table!:confused:

    Did he use the top bunk blanket to make a curtain for some privacy during your rape sessions?

    I shared a house for a while with someone who was a bit of a slapper. There's nothing worse than trying to get to sleep when there's a bit of how's your father going on in the room next door. I could hear everything through the paper-thin walls. I used to feel like banging on the walls and telling them to get on with it and finish up so I could get my sleep.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    OP I suggest a sock and a snooker ball. Let your housemate know who's the daddy

    Get a bucket and fcuk all the dirty dishes into it, and leave it in a corner.

    Use your own cutlery, clean it yourself and put it away in your own drawer. Saves arguments etc. - if they want clean dishes, they'll *have* to wash them

    From the above your housemate seems like an inconsiderate so and so.... I suggest to play your music rather loud early in the morning whilst he is stoned and start to eat his food and use his cleaning equipment and tell him that you dont have the rent the next time he asks and only pay when its due. I am quite sure he will then start to realise he cant keep doing what it is he is doing without consequences.

    Cannot stand that they leave fag butts/ ash in every f**kin clean glass in the house..

    None of them take the bin out...

    But on the bright side i am moving out in 2 weeks! :)

    Seems like I haven't done too badly :o Worst thing my housemates did was put that bastardized version of 'hallelujah' by alexandra burke on repeat one saturday morning. Over and over. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    A girl i was working with stayed in a student house in collins ave with two other girls. She said they were manky. One day the landlord made an inspection and was asking her what was going on. She explained that the other two were manky and didn't give a fcuk. The landlord went upstairs and one of the girls had left her door open. On the bed was a used sanitary towel.

    Does this guy own the house? From what you say there, it sounds like he does.

    I hope he does, otherwise you could be liable for the couch he has "done away with"!

    It's great that you're moving out.

    lived with a few weirdos over my 4 years of college!!

    weirdo who used to get up at like 6 in the morning and have a shower and then turn off the imertion, which was on a timer, so there'd be no hot water for like 2 hours after someone went to have a shower, realised there was no hot water and went to investigate and turned it back on!! came to physical assault after my 5th cold shower in a row, during exam week!! i dug the head off him for being such a weirdo....stress got to me!!

    the same guy also used plug out our fridge/freezer or tamper with the temperature....things used go off days before the best by date n we didnt realise for ages why....he kept turning the temp down ond fridge! WEIRDO!! this was in a student accom. village so we had him removed after 4 months!! crikey!

    also shared with a french girl who played the harp!! at odd times, at like 7 in the mornin.....and her room was underneath mine!!! grrrrrrrr!!!!

    Funnily enough, he doesn't own the house at all!

    He got a one-year lease on it, rents it from an agency. Although, I have no idea about this agency at all!
    No idea how much the entire monthly rent is for the house either, so he could be completely ripping us off! He gets a bit weird when you ask questions ... I tend to avoid him, considering his odd antics.

    His house party the other night was insane - Woke up yesterday, went to the bathroom to find the lock broken, the floor black and sticky, the shower rail pulled off the wall and hash remnants in the bath, toilet and sink :(

    A friend of mine living in the house said that yesterday evening, when I was packing to move, a man came to the door and there was suspicious conversation and exchanging of money ... so seems like he's also dealing in the house!

    Cannot wait to be shot of him!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 924 ✭✭✭Elliemental


    I shared a flat with a guy from Bangor. He poured bleach in my fish tank, hung an enormous Ulster flag out of bedroom window and left it there for days (had so many complaints), as he'd gone away and just left it hanging there. Over the 12th july, he smashed the flat up (i'd gone home to visit the family in Liverpool, so got a nice surprise on my return). He got his four weeks notice to quit the property after that. The funny thing was, he was sound on the whole. It's just, when had so much as a sniff of booze, he turned into a monster.
