Loungers Who Lunch - The Off Topic Thread (All Chat Goes Here!)

Genuinely surprised at how many of the rooms that I'm looking at in Dublin are for sharing with other people. Could never do that.

That's the thing though - I don't think anyone would be able to tell you're trans unless you went around with a sign on your forehead. I don't think I've ever noticed a trans person in a women's bathroom, and I must have run into at least 1 in my lifetime.

I'm sorry to hear your friends have had trouble though. That's really disgusting. I weep for humanity at times, I really do

Don't have a sign on my forehead, but I still seem to get called "sir" the odd time, so it's enough to make me think that I don't really look quite that feminine.

I'll stop being all moany though, here's something funny instead:

Ugh, that'd seriously feel like not having any privacy ever...

I know! Plus you could never really bring anyone back, if you wanted to, as there's a good chance they'd be there too.

I wholeheartedly agree with that

I think sharing an apartment is bad enough, never mind a room. That said, I really like my own space! Just can't afford it

I don't mind sharing a house/apartment, because my room usually becomes my place to cool off/relax/get away from the world. You just can't get that if you share a room too. I'd go absolutely cracked!

Sharing a room would be far too much like being 10 years old again, tbh :pac:. Though a friend of mine lives on campus and his apartment has 3 shared rooms - 2 to a room. I couldn't deal with that at all! No privacy whatsoever.

Have been living on my own for nearly a year at this stage. Would never share again with anyone I wasn't in a relationship with. Love having my own space, and never feeling like I'm treading on anyone's toes.

Or you could stare them in the eye as you take care of business :pac:. You'd have loads of privacy in future!

Thing is the rooms on campus are quite small for sharing - they barely fit 2 beds, 2 desks and 2 tiny bedside lockers. It'd drive me nuts. The upside is that the security on campus is really good.

I'd still rather pay the little extra for a single room though.

"7-8pm daily need alone time"


6 people in an apartment sounds as bad even without the sharing rooms bit

i will never forget going to look at a houseshare in terenure adv as 2-3 people living there
there must have been 3 couples and about 4 other lads as well
no sitting room - converted into a bedroom
luckily i got there before the landlord, and the other people there told me about it
:rolleyes:
and some ridiculous "bills 120 a month each" nonsense
they must have been raking in a fortune

Yeah, I lived on my own for a year and it was the best thing ever. Hopefully it will happen again someday!

That'd get awkward pretty quick :P

I dunno how he put up with it, tbh. He changed apartments mid-way through the year because his first room-mate kept making sexual advances to him :pac:

What??? :eek: I assume this must have been on par with Áras an Uachtaráin to merit €120 per month for bills shared between 10/12 people??

coffee_cake

they justified it with some sh!te about getting a cleaner in but i duno, still too expensive
total scam/racket

god, advances from room mate, even worse for personal space

Fluorescence

Yep, sounds like a total scam :pac:

Advances from his male room-mate (he's not gay) :P I'd rather get one of those tiny, depressing bedsits with a crying chair than share a room with someone. Half the time it works out to be the same rent anyway.

I'd rather live on rice and water than share a room with someone, a house or apartment yeah sure, but a room?!

Dolbert

It's been so warm that our windows have been open for the last two nights. Both nights, our cats have jumped in the window and onto the bed around the 2am mark. Both times I've slept through the whole thing, and himself has had to get up and try and feed them and put them to bed, while I snored on oblivious... This does not bode well for him if we ever have a baby :pac:

I was thinking more like this, which doesn't even have room for a crying chair :pac:

That's a pretty upmarket crying chair. Sure you'd expect nothing less in Rathmines.

there was one recently with the chair fitted in so you could sit down and watch... the microwave

I saw that in AH It's already been snapped up though - shame. Whoever got it is one lucky devil!

I stayed in a dive centre once where the bathroom was so small, the only way to use the shower was to sit on the jacks at the same time, I kid you not.

Studied abroad one year and had to share a room with a friend. We are no longer on speaking terms! :pac:

i cant even imagine how that would work

Polloloca

Wouldn't be mad keen on sharing a house with someone I didn't know, to be honest. Never mind a room! Where would you hide all your secrets, hmm?
