Mad Flatmates

Tha Gopher · 12-03-2008 10:18PM

Funny thing is, his family was absolutely loaded, they owned few banana plantations, few nightclubs on Canaries and loads of other stuff. His da used to come to visit him in his private jet, but he still lived here for few years, working as a waiter and on the till in Superquinn, then worked his way up to the manager.

The amount of people from decent W European economies who come here to work sh1t jobs and sh1t shifts truly baffles me.

My housemate never leaves the house. NEVER. She gives over the tv when my gf comes round or there is a CL or Ireland match on, but apart from that, shes in at 6 and watches tv til 10. Sat and Sunday, apart from getting shopping its 12 hours infront of the tv. Especially recently with all this poxy rugby on the box at the weekend. Seems to go out socially maybe once every 3 weeks.

And she buys the Sunday Independent

Apart from that im insanely jealous of all the alcoholic violent coke snorting drug dealing promiscous party people tenants you all had the pleasure to share with. Sound like a fun bunch in all truth.

Oh yeah, former tenant had a threat out on his life, was under Garda protection and seemed to have alot of money considering he only seemed to work twice a week at most (claimed to be a barman, he was home six nights per week).

argh!! that reminded me of a fella i used to share with, he was workin with the drugs squad, i had to move out because all the local scobes knew where he lived, one night they shoved rags drenched in petrol through the letter box and tried to set fire to them. They also destroyed his car in the driveway.
Then he built his own house, he used to take the hoover from ours over to the span new, no carpet house, to hoover up bits of concrete!!
He also had no sense of smell, the stench out of his room was unreal.
And his hatred of washing up after his dinner, was such that he would eat take aways all the time and then throw knives and forks in the bin.

was so glad to see the back of him

Current housemate regularly downs 4 bottles of wine a night. Just after Xmas she drank 9 bottles of wine, a naggin of vodka and 12 bottles of miller in 2 days. She drinks alone until 5-6am and crawls up to bed. While she drinks at night she has done the following:
*Set a pizza on fire
*Smashed a large plant pot and left a clay trail around the house
*Broke wall ornaments owned by the landlord
*Broke the toilet and the toilet roll holder
*Vomited in every room downstairs (red wine vomit at that) and has stained the white leather sofa, the floor, the kitchen tiles, the downstairs toilet and the wall.
*Fallen out of the shower at 4am
*Left the heating on, tv on and front door wide open at 5am

:eek:

I drank a lot of red wine at a work xmas party and was violently sick the next day. The whole day was spent in bed with the worse hangover i have ever had. Consuming 4 bottles on a regular basis is insane!

Nightwish · 12-03-2008 10:44PM

I think she's immune to hangovers as she can just get up and go to work. Though she sometimes forgets so maybe the alcohol has killed off some brain cells.

far too many mad housemates to recall now. 21 years living in rented accomodation, approx 35 or 36 "official" rented gaffs (thats to say, my name on lease). hence this is my last EVER rental. im buying next year. at the moment im renting a converted cattle shed (byre) on my own, the landlord is a very good friend. its like a castle..cool! i promised myself this luxury as my last ever rental.

its great living alone after too many freaks!

Hey mang87 and ergonimics,
I wouldn't live with you'se either. (How's that for a full stop.)

I should have elaborated I guess but the reason flat mates annoy each other is down to a lack of respect.
Somethings that may bother you probably wouldn't bother me and vice versa. I take by your laise-fare post that your a great flat mate and you live in a wonderful place with other great flat mates.
You sound perfect almost too perfect infact, jaysus, you sound like an add for Carlsberg. Are you sure your not my ex?, she was perfect aswell.

Das Kitty · 13-03-2008 12:55AM

We shared with a looney and his uptight girlfriend when we were in college.

He was one of these "hippies" living out his hippy ways on daddy's coin.

We'd regularly come home and he'd be lying on the sitting room floor stoned out of his mind or off his face on mushrooms.

Herself was neurotic and demanded the sitting room to herself for an hour after work each day.

Another couple friends of ours took our room when we moved out. Soon after hippy man went totally loo-la. He became a bit obsessed with the girl in the couple, not sexually but like someone on mushrooms gets obsessed with carpet patterns. He used to watch her making tea with great interest.

He shaved his head into a Taxi-Driver style mohican.

One night whilst our friends were enjoying a perk of being in a couple there was a knock on the window. Hippy man had climbed up on the small roof over the kitchen and was knocking on their window asking them to open the curtains a bit so he can see properly. :eek:

Needless to say they moved out soon after that.

IanCurtis · 13-03-2008 01:14AM

I was living with two lads once.

Went into the khazi one morning and there was a bleb of sh1t on the floor with a heel mark in it.

Turns out one of them had crapped on the floor the night before and next morning the other fella slipped on it while getting out of the shower cos he "didn't have his contacts in yet".

Ah Jay that was funny.

lawhec · 13-03-2008 01:23AM

Not myself, but a female friend of mine was being kept up by the sound of another girl (I'll call her Ms.C) having loud sex in the next room. She wasn't the only one to notice, the two others in the house often heard it too, so one evening when all of them were in the living room my friend said out of the blue "Ms.C, I notice when you have sex you have two types of moan, does the deep, hoarse moaning mean you're taking it up the arse?" :eek:

No more sounds after that, and Ms.C moved out a week later.

stepbar · 13-03-2008 01:48AM

I'll tell you one thing.... there are a lot of fcuked up flatmates out there. Some of the stories are shocking..... funny

ah I remember watching over a guy I lived with while he slept, hoping he'd wake up and freak out. rofl. He never believed me that I did it either.

Lets see, we took a housemates bed out of his room when he had his lady friend over and they'd gone out for the night; then locked said room and fell asleep in his bed in the kitchen.

Dragged the remains of some dying tree into his room and left it over the weekend.

We're weren't evil but it was funny to us.

Ah, yeah, but there's a huge difference between pranking a mate who knows you're only up to mischief, and being a hellish housemate!

Well, it gets a bit embarrassing when my flatmate lets one stay overnight, only to run into him raiding the frig in his boxes the next morning.

Jeez, thank your stars he remembered the boxers. I usually Not everyone does. >_>

Assez Bien · 13-03-2008 04:13AM

Woke up to my housemate (female) peeing on the carpet in my room the other night, not nice, not nice at all!! And this was after she locked herself in the bathroom for half an hour puking all over the gaff (and didin't clean it), you'd think she could have hit two birds with the one stone while in there!!

Vomit in the sink over all the dishes aswel(constantly), resulted in the place receiving a good bout of domestos!

Also last semester we lived with a girl who would shower once a week (if lucky) and who washed her clothes twice in 3 months......DIRTTTTY!!

No one was allowed to have friends/family/partners over unless we let her know in advance. For example, a lad I worked with popped up one evening to collect some CD's, she stood there glaring at us until he left. Then I got a bollicking because I "didn't obey the house rules". Even when we gave her advance notice, she treated anyone who visited with barely concealed contempt. She created such a nasty, cold atmosphere in the house that I didn't feel comfortable inviting people around.

She would constantly check up on us, keeping track of where we were. I'd usually be home from work by 6, but if I wasn't home by 6:05 I'd get a message asking me why I was late. If any of the housemates went home for the weekend, she'd text us first thing Sunday morning to find out what time we'd be back at.

If you decided to go out/stay in your room for the evening, you would get b*tched about for "being anti-social" and have to put up with spiteful comments next time she saw you. So f**king childish :mad:

I can go on and on, but the worst part is that she's still going out with my mate and he has to deal with her cr*p on a daily basis.....

Why didn't any of you just tell her to get Ta F*ck??? Seriously? were you afraid of this girl or something, she's only one person, if someone I lived with, who wasn't even related to me behaved like they owned me/the house I lived in I wouldn't be long telling her where to go, not pandering to her craziness...

I know you probably meant in the oven or something...

But I just got the clearest mental image of some deranged girl after four bottles of wine, sitting on a couch at 5am swaying slightly, while holding a lighter up to a dominos 12 inch...

Note to self: Must try this.

Irishcrx · 13-03-2008 11:39AM

Gotta say some of these stories have me LMFAO, the hippie guy climbing the windows was probably the best. I haven't had any bad housemates really yet except one girl I lived with who was ok generally just really annoying. One night she invited all her mates back to the house at 3 in the morning when I was in work the next day, they stayed up all night playing MY Tv and xbox in the front room really loudly, drinking, smoking. I'm sitting upstairs awake then I come down in the morning and there's to people having sex on my buddha bag...enough was enough she moved out 3 days later. Thank god. Other than that everyones being grand and i've got on fairly well with the people I lived with so far.

Just got rid our our mad flatmate. Well, she wasn't mad, more stupid.

She never learned how to use the heating so our immersion and heating were on for about 20 hours a day. We got in the habit of checking both everytime we were in the hallway. Our bills were of course, huge.

That's my housemate! Never bothered to learn how to work the heating. It's weird. It's so easy.

watna wrote: »

She had her own bathroom that we only occasionally used. The lightbulb went and four days later it was still gone. She had been showering and other stuff in the dark for four days.

My housemate again. The lightbulb also went in her bedroom last week and she wont get a new one. She was really sick last week and I met her in college and told her to go home and get some sleep and she said no because she had to finish and essay and had no lightbulb. I wouldn't mind but she only has to go to the accomm managers office to get one.

Just before she moved out I went in to the kitchen to find it was surprisingly warm. She had left the hob on for 12 hours overnight. We're lucky the house didn't go on fire (It wasn't a new electric oven but an old one with actual exposed elements)

My housemate again. Not the hob, she only eats frozen food from the oven, and she keeps leaving it on. I came home one and there was a frozen pie sitting in the cold oven. I knocked on her door and called her to see if she wanted me to turn the oven on for her but no answer so I left it. 20 minutes later she arrives out and takes the pie out and puts it on a plate. I stopped laughing long enough to tell her it wasn't cooked!

I get some great laughs out of her actions, but she is the most irritating girl I have ever met!

Miguel_Sanchez · 13-03-2008 12:27PM

Lived briefly in a house in Galway which seemed like a halfway house for people living on the fringes of society.

A woman in her 40's moved in. She had no idea how microwaves worked and I had to stop her several times putting tins, metal bowls, spoons etc in there. Even when I explained patiently that you couldn't put metal in the microwave she would insist on covering bowls with tinfoil before putting them in.

When I left for college in the morning she would be sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. When I'd pop back home about lunch time (I lived right beside the college) she'd be still sitting in the same place with the ashtray piled high in front of her. The TV would be off, she'd just be staring at the wall. She also puked all over the bathroom one night and just left it.

In the same house there was the crazy English girl who used to have her sister (possibly brother - we couldn't tell) over for karoke at 1 or 2 in the morning. She moved out owing me money for oil and stole the large wooden coffee table while she was at it.

In the same house - a couple who, if dishes were left unwashed for even an hour or so after someone's dinner would put them outside the backdoor. The guy in the couple regularly used to steal my socks off the clothes horse.

Next house I moved into. 5 people living there. One of the guys moved his girlfriend in for the entire summer without bothering to ask or tell anyone. Not that bad except for the fact that she acted like she owned the place. She was a teacher so didn't have any work to do and just sat around the house all day long. I was working in a coffee shop at the time so would regularly be about the house in the mornings just playing Playstation or whatever. She would come in, plonk herself down on the couch where she would proceed to eat noisily whilst telling me how she didn't like video games and much preferred watching TV.

When her boyfriend came home in the evenings there might be a few of us sitting around watching TV around 6 or 7. She would drag him upstairs and have sex loudly in the room right above the sitting-room before returning down a while later. Granted we did get much amusement out of the fact that she didn't seem to realise or care that we were all down below, cranking up the TV to try and block out the noise.

She would turn the immersion on every night before she went to bed so her boyfriend wouldn't have to get up 20 minutes early in the morning and knock it on. The immersion was really old and if left on for a couple of hours would start making noises like it was going to explode. When any of us turned it off she would get up in the middle of the night and turn it back on. Eventually after telling her to stop doing it we made huge signs on stuck them on the hotpress door and inside it, on the lagging jacket, just above the switches.
She lived with us for three months and never once contributed anything towards bills. Bitch.

Of course then there was the housemate who tried to steal my girlfriend.... but that's a whole other story.

This is the end when living with friends and they get a new beau and want to live with her, its time for them to move out.

It will destroy friendships and ruin what was a good place to live in fact I think for the most part couples should be made to live on their own and not share with others.

Irishcrx · 13-03-2008 02:04PM

Agreed with the above post, in fact whenever any of my mates get in a relationship we don't see them from one week to another, a mate that I live with is never home anymore and when he is he's just sitting in his room with her it's ridiculas, never got why people act like that, become totally anti-social and we'll only see them when they break up and they need their mates again.

She was going out with my (then) best mate, and he would take her side in EVERY disagreement. So whenever I said anything I'd have to put up with abuse from both of them, which made it all the harder to take a stand against her constant crap.
