    Anyone else sick to their tits of these threads?
    They can usually be summed up by "housemates doing something to annoy/offend/upset me, I have made no attempt to deal with the situation, help"
    Are people genuinely so afraid of confrontation that they let people they are living with away with all kinds of crap?

    Confrontation works so well.

    It actually does, I'm not talking about pistols at dawn but there`s nothing better than a clear the air. It would solve a high proportion of situations that come up on here.

    And yet you've started a thread complaining that there are too many threads about the same topic.

    My housemate constantly runs around in her sexy underwear at all hours yet you won't hear me complaining.

    87% of Boards users spend too much time online. Time to switch off the data, dongle wifi etc.

    They're more common now because all people are so much more arseholey these days.

    Arsehole housemates everywhere although I do think we are becoming a lot less tolerant. Most of us have been raised to be tolerant and show respect but why should we have to show it when others act the arsehole? Top that with the " fcuk off and get away from me, my iPhone is more interesting generation" and I guess people don't want to know about other people's issues up close and personal.

    I don't even answer unknown numbers or my front door anymore.
