Wierdo flatmates?

    I just got a text from a guy I used to share a house with a few years ago, and it brought back memories of what an absolute wierdo he was. For example:

    1. He insisted on only using Fairy washing-up l iquid on the dishes. I bought some other (inferior) brand one time and he nearly threw a fit, saying that he could taste the difference when he was eating out of the dishes....

    2. We had a clothes horse thingy in the house for drying clothes, and he would often fold up my dried clothes and leave them in a neat pile on my bed.

    3. His dad owned the house, and the front room needed a new carpet so he ordered one. I came home one evening with a couple of friends and he was lying on the floor and the carpet was a cream shag-pile job like a footballers mansion. He then said "Like the new carpet?" and made that bow-chika-bow-bow porno music noise.

    I could go on.

    One of my college friends also had a roommate who actually stole her clothes and shoes all the time. Not borrow without asking, she actually took stuff and never gave it back.

    Any of you people ever share with a complete crackpot?

    +1. He sounds reasonable to me. But now it's back to 'Battle of the Room-mate Horror Stories.' Let the over exaggeration commence.

    I should clarify, my clothes that he would fold up included all my lady-things like bras and knickers...

    Isn't it weird how weird is such a weird word to spell?

    And maybe he was just practising with the bra thing?

    I live with 2 girls and a guy.
    If I need the clothes horse or the tumble dryer, I'll take their clothes and put them in their room (couldn't be arsed to fold them). They do the same.

    Its only underwear. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist over :)

    Oh right, you're female. Females tend to find everything guys do weird, even crying 'pervert!' to fapping over them while they're asleep.

    Prudes.

    Did he grow up with any sisters? If so, it really wouldn't have been that weird for him to handle your enticing delicates.


  • Registered Users Posts: 777 ✭✭✭boogle


    I'm so misunderstood, sob.

    He was creepy okay? You had to be there *cough*


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Was he doing the 'silence of the lambs' dance too. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 777 ✭✭✭boogle


    Also, I want to hear about other peoples wierd housemates, not debate the oddness or non-oddness of mine...

    C'mon, dish it!

    Heh. As a teenager I attended the local youth club where I would banter about with this girl I fancied. We developed a lovely rapport and got on really well. Then, I saw her chatting amongst a bunch of her classmates in the school we went to. Approaching her for the first time outside of our usual setting, I asked her if she wanted to hear a joke. "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE SUCH A STALKER! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM???" she overreacted before scampering off in faux-fear, leaving me standing there still amongst her shocked friends who looked at me like I was a very bold boy. I blushed and pissed off.

    But didn't anyone ever tell you it's I before E except after C?

    Er . . . . .

    Because that rule is wrong in this case!

    Damn confusing exceptions

    This is the kind of thing that could leave you huddled in a corner, rocking back and forth, chanting "I before E except after C, but not Weird no no no".

    Yeah but they didn't know that!

    So is "hear a joke" your code for "receive a stabbing and a rogering"?
