I shared a flat with a Chinese couple who used to flush food down the toilet. I'd go in to the loo and would often find spring onions, carrots, oil and stuff. They had an ensuite too, but decided to use the toilet my other flatmate and I had to use. When challenged, they began doing it late at night instead. I even caught the girl running from the loo with saucepan in hand, but still they didn't stop it.

An attempt to save on bin refuse charges? :pac:

Patricide

Ive had no real weird flatmates, just a couple of GAA heads who honestly talked about nothing else bar football hurling training and getting hammered. Most immature FILTHY people i have ever lived with. The funny thing was they thought i was the weird one because i didnt like 10 year old dance music blaring at 3 am in the morning 7 days a week. Moved out after 3 months as the place was so filthy that I actually couldnt even cook my food, well whatever food wasnt stolen or thrown out of the freezer by them.

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?

Is this guy single?? Because if so, I think I might just have the perfect girl for him...... MY FLATMATE!!!!!

Does that mean she's looking for a new tenent?

Funny you should ask, because i think she is! The girl that replaced me only lasted 6 months, she couldn't put up with her constant moaning either. I dont think she's got any replacement yet. I wouldn't wish her on anyone though, i really wouldn't!

Ok this guy was a caretaker landlord in a 2 storey house we lived in, guilty of the following:

- would leave his crap all over the place mattresses, dishes, books, newspapers, wrappers all the time, run in whisk it away and then come down and give out that we hadn't washed a pan immediately after cooking (as we were stull eating)

- watched fox news on a loop all day long, but all day long.

- when we weren't there he put on crazy evangelical end of days religious channels and would sit taking notes from them into a little jotter.

- he was some kind of priest, wore brown robes around the house and would bring up choice conversational topics from time to time like all sinners will burn in hell, the end isn't far away. homosexuality os just wrong, women are actually inferior and eating pig gets you a ticket to hell.

- the same guy would take 4am phonecalls during which he spoke at full volume, laughed in some kind of roar and played music (as you do when on the phone)

- more than once we woke up on a Saturady morning a little the worse for wear to find not one but two hookers at the end of the stairs putting their clothes back on.

I could go on....

A girl I know used to share an apartment with a guy who refused to pay for half of the tv licence cos he "wasnt into watching tv".
She'd land home after work, head into the sitting room and turn on the telly ... and up he'd get and go into the kitchen ... and watch the telly through the glass panes in the door.
Any time she'd look over at him he'd nearly kill himself trying to turn away quickly pretending he was doing something else!

He'd leave mattresses lying about the place. Now that is odd.

Please do. It's the hookers that elevate this guy from random nutter to something more exotic entirely. Are you sure they weren't just members of his cult, though?

I was told by a female member of my family that her housemate (some polish girl) used walk around with just her underwear. She was complaining over it, I offered to swap!

Was sharing with a couple and few girls for a few months. A few nights before we were due to move out, a friend of the couple came to stay. We just got a bad vibe from him straight away but decided to head out with him for a few drinks. Came home late, the usual, all of us girls slept in the same room.

I was awoken at 6am to my mate screaming the place down. I jumped out of the bed to see the couples friend standing there in a tshirt with no underwear on staring at us all in bed. She asked him what he was doing in the room, his reply, "You dont want to know"...

Too right we never want to know!!! :eek:

Or maybe he's obsessive about cleaning and tidying, and just did it because he had to interfere

sedantez

Cleaned your clothes, used good washin liquid, cracked jokes - Boogle your housemate sounds great ?!

I lived with a weirdo for one long year - he would do the following:
Constantly text - I mean constantly
Never cleaned up - we ended up putting all his dirty plates and cups into his bedroom to get the message across ( I suggest this to anyone who has the same prob)
If he didn’t go out on a Sat night, he would sit up in the living room reading the papers until we came home. It was really awkward if you brought friends home for a few drinks cause he would sit there quietly in the room with you .... reading the papers. We would try to include him but he preferred to ..... read the papers.
He was single but every night at 11.30 he would call someone and talk for ages on the phone – he would never tell you who he was talking to.
If you were cooking something he would be obsessed with watching what you were doing and tell how you should do it (grrrr)

i used to share with a girl who used to fold my clothes as well. i thought it was great. I used to purposely leave them on the radiators/horse thingy and wait for her to fold them. I also used to let the dirty dishes pile up. It was a kind of a waiting game. waiting to see who'd crack first and wash the dishes. she always gave in caught her one day sniffing my boxers and testing the elasticity

shared with this guy as well that had some strange habits. used to buy framed pictures to decorate the house. used to stick them to the wall with super glue. we ended up with a lounge and hallway full of completely random and different sized ones crooked and at different levels on the wall. every couple of weeks, one would just fall to the floor. he'd pick it up and glue it to a different spot?
he used to have a bad drink problem which led to a few accidents. i got up for work one morning and found a supa valu bag of runny Sh!t hanging off the banister. another time, went into the jacks and found poos on the floor with a footprint in it which led to his room :cool:

I'd like to meet him ^^^

I currently live with an alcoholic. She rarely makes it into work on time. Spends all her money on alcohol. Gets hammered every night. Has nearly set the house on fire on more than one occasion. She has puked up red wine on our white couch and then fell asleep in it. She has come home and left the front door wide open at 3am. Knocked over a potted plant in the room and left a soil trail all over the house. Steals other peoples drink. Uses a bizarre amount of loo roll and is very loud when she's drinking (and everyone else is sleeping) and when she's being ploughed by her bf.

I know someone like that. Her name isn't Sabrina by any chance is it?

That must be a cultural thing- a friend of mine lived in a house with about 5 Chinese people (all called Fred and Teresa) and they used to keep live crabs in the bath, they also used to store their food in the living room, big huge tins of stuff, odd alright.

I did live with a girl who's boyfriend when he got drunk was convinced if anyone was in a room with the door closed that they were locked in and then proceeded to kick the door down, 5 the fcuker got and it all came out of our deposit. Frighted the fcuk out of me a few times when he landed in the room to "rescue me", couldn't even stand up himself. He also had a thing about hoovers, broke 3 on us. I don't talk to them anymore..freaks

Nah, it was in London where they don't have charges yet. Very odd.

Ah, me and my other flatmate tried to be polite and subtle at first. Then I had to challenge them, pointing out it could block the pipes and upset the plumbing. They did stop for about a week, then did it at the dead of night. The toilet was next to my room and I used to be in their fuming, hearing them flush at 3am.

Still, it could be worse. They could have kept live crabs in the toilet like that other person experienced.

Oh, they did insist on putting chicken's feet on my vegetarian flatmate's freezer shelf too, which was out of order. And cow spines, apparently.

My wife does this sometimes when she has made too much food. Usually its the remains of a stew, soup or watery dish. She tried it with rich one time (the rice had dried into a clump) and it got stuck, so now she doesn't flush rice anymore.

I think I may know him.
At (we can talk about Oxegen now, right?) Oxegen last year a friend of a friend did something like this in a tent belong to a group of girls. Strange funker.
Also, this.

BrokenArrows

in college was staying in student accomodation. 4 bed apartment. i was already friends with 3 of them and 1 randomer moved in.

Strange character. He was about 24 at the time, we were probably 20-21.

We would all be drinking in the house ready to hit the town and would have a few friends over. He would join us in drinking but his version of drinking at home is as follows:

1) dressing gown is a must
2) pipe or cigar is also a must
3) an expensive bottle of whisky in a whisky glass with a single cube of ice.

Thats all very well if your in the house by yourself relaxing but in a kinda house party atmosphere its a bit....off!

He also liked to start discussions on the best way to shave.
