How Loud Is Your Flatmate?

MartMax

This is my first "after hours" thread - some may see it as a personal issue but I give a try here... Another flatmate affairs and horrors!

This guy I have known and befriended with for many years - gone back since we were in same high school, college and now flatmates... a lot of histories...

Somehow lately, not really - has been months, what ever he does it annoys me and I find it is "loud", or "trying" too much... at some stage, I would only lmao just to change how I feel about it...

Let me describe some of the things that he does which I find very "loud"... :

- talking on the phone (it's like multiple party teleconference)
- having sweet moments wt his gf (get a room)
- he walks around the house, (steps sound bite me)
- he watches too much property shows (location location location)
- watching CSI day and nite (i'm sick of it)

Worst of all, what ever he does, I can "hear" it...

Wats wrong wt me? Perhaps I need a break from him?

So, anyone else, how loud is your flatmate?

Sounds to me you are in love with flatmate and jealous of his girlfriend,she long on the scene?

TBH,sounds like you do need a break/tell him how you feel and its getting on your tits.

its not your flatmate with the problem, its you

TBH he sounds rather normal. Is he really noisy at unreasonable hours, i.e between midnight and 8am? Is he so noisy he stops you from concentrating on what you're doing? If not it sounds like he's just getting on your nerves which is normal when you live with someone but unfortunately its more your problem than his

An ex flatmate of mine was a total slapper, she brought home about 3 guys a week on average, and made sure I could hear them riding ( she loved the attention, she often said things like 'sorry if I kept you up all night, that guy was amazing' ). The majority of the time she couldn't remember their names. Apart from that, she was ok to live with.

My old flatmate of 3 years drove me insane. The walls between our rooms were paper thin. I could hear everything and vice versa. It meant I couldnt do anything with my BF, have private phone conversations etc. Worst of all, he had a completely different sleeping pattern to me which meant he was awake all night, as I (tried) to sleep. He kept me awake with music,tv,and even the noise of his mouse clicking, whenusing his pc could be heard. It drove me up the wall

ya sound jealous of him...that or your just fed up living with him. Tell him or move on!

Durin the past 4 years i've lived with 5 weirdo's...ranging from psycho's and annoyin fúckers to dirty smelly bastards. Ya get used to it after a while...i've come to the conclusion that when you share with ppl someone is always going to rub you up the wrong way and you'll not like them.

Yeah - hate the noise of someone else shagging - really gets on my nerves because it always happens when I'm trying to sleep. Happened in a number of houses - and sadly its not always easy to fight fire with fire...

Talk to him?

Nope and nope. She was semi-attractive, but was a complete slapper - which is a big turn off for me. When I first met her I thought, "Yeah, I'd **** her", but that soon changed very rapidly once I got to know her. Annoying people are not ****able.

my BF's flatmate was very proud of people hearing her shagging. She was bringing home two or three guys a week. Her headboard used to bang all night against the wall, and it kept everyone in the flat awake. When she was confronted about it she just said "Put up with it or move out". eventually everyone else threw her out

Ha! consider ye'reselves lucky. Try sleeping while 20 people on pills are having a party in the next room. Or with the insomniac with the 120W bass amp

That's exactly what I'm talking about, but when she was confronted with it, she loved the attention, plus she was friends of my girlfriend at the time, they knew each other all throughout secondary school so I couldn't exactly throw her out.

This lunacy aside, buy earplugs if you really must.

I lived with an Italian lad for 6 months, very nice guy but very loud. He would walk in the door and honestly starting shouting. I told him about it but he loved the attention. Cool guy just the noise level got a bit much at times, couldnt read a book/study around him etc.

To the OP:

Is it possible you're just getting fed up of sharing? It happened to me, and eventually I just had to get a place on my own. Most people have habits which will annoy others. Part of sharing a place, is learning to put up with those habits.

Of course the above has it's limits, but it's just a thought.

i had a crazy flatmate once...he was in the room next to me..woke up one night screaming and ran to the door of his room...the lads on the floor below us heard him...freaked us all out..we hid the sharp knives after that.

he also use to pound his way up and down the stairs..he'd stop outside the sitting room door to hear what we were watching on tv..if he didn't like it he'd then go into the kitchen and watch the tv in there!! he was a weirdo!!

I tested out my sisters babeh when he was crying.

134 dB.

Legally, i should have been wearing ear defenders around the child when he cries

Thats why this insomniac has a pair of good headphones. Having a bass amp or subwoofer on late at night is really not on imho.

Young; loud, crazy and headwreckers... We had those moments, but these years no more to that level..

OOucch, the old age has its bites...

Probably I should move on, stop sharing and be parted...

Btw, he has always wanted to know what I'm up to, doing and did...
But never let his spills on table unless its extravaganza...

Earplugs? He doesn't chat on the phone; he screams!

Another story: A mate in boarding school, a genius. While others were studying, he lingered around the hostel and sang silly songs. He didn't hv to study and passed the exams - no. 1. Bastid.
