House-mates from hell.

    What have your experiences with housemates, dorm-mates etc been like?

    I went to a boarding school, because of the mix of people I lived with, I'd consider myself to be a fairly open-minded person, and generally, I'm very laid back.

    However, a guy I've been living with for the past few months has reeeeally pushed my limits;

    - He changes the rent date every month, asking me for the rent on the day he needs it.

    - He has wild, spur-of-the-moment parties, with all his stoner pals with loud loud music blaring until 8am or so - I had to deal with the guards at the last party.

    - He steals my food / drink / cleaning stuff and even has the cheek to use them in front of me.

    - As our lease is up soon, he invited people to view the house - I found this out when a man came into my room, while I was getting dressed.

    ... He's done countless other things, but the man's basically a nightmare!

    Just looking for any of your stories about people you've lived with :D

    I like it - Hills style drama ;)

    If I can't join in, then I'm going to cause a scene!

    I would consider saying something, but they wouldn't understand me - yer man's Polish and none of his friends speak much/any English!

    Maybe a loaded gun would give them the hint? :pac:

    Two girls from my class in college were moving into the house, so I jumped at the chance to move in with them.

    Didn't realise he'd be part of the deal!

    Another amusing fact about him ; came home the other night to discover he'd done away with the couch in our living room.

    So, we now have a TV and nothing to sit on ;)

    I like moving into people's houses and amusing myself by driving them nuts.

    I take all the labels off the tinned goods.
    I put my toenail clippings in their shoes.
    I leave a floater in the toilet.
    Sometimes I'll even get it out with a spoon and put it in the cistern.
    I'll put the spoon back in the drawer.
    I put my pubes on the soap.
    I'll answer other people's phones and say "They don't want to speak to you."
    I leave fridge magnets on the TV.
    I defrost the freezer and leave all the perishable goods out to go bad, especially after a big shop.
    I put marmite in the peanut butter and pour a little coffee in the sugar bowl every now and then.
    Leave cat food and cans of tuna open in the back garden to encourage strays.
    Use other people's towels to butt-floss after a shower, then put them back where I found them.

    Oh, and if they have pets, I'll interfere with them.

    One time, I put smarties tubes on the cats legs to make him walk like a robot.

    Tried to find the invention of that joke, Jimmy Carr first thought of it while on an episode of QI playing the letters game, but they removed it from YouTube for copyright infringement :( Gutted, I loved that clip.

    He sounds like a bit of a legend to me.

    My roommate is a nightmare. Always shooting-up heroin in my bedoom. Always wants the top bunk. Always wants to rape me during the night when all I'm trying to do is get a good nights sleep. I tells ya, prison isn't as glamourous as the make it out to be in the movies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,970 ✭✭✭Cake Man


    HAha nice one! Livin with 3 others that are just pure messy and lazy fcukers that haven't hands to wipe der own arses and I just happen to be the nice tidy, organised one! No need to put ur glass, plate etc. in the dishwasher, just leave it in the sink for somebody else (i.e. me) to do it GRRR!:mad: Despite the fact that the dishwasher is geographically closer to the table!:confused:

    Did he use the top bunk blanket to make a curtain for some privacy during your rape sessions?

    I shared a house for a while with someone who was a bit of a slapper. There's nothing worse than trying to get to sleep when there's a bit of how's your father going on in the room next door. I could hear everything through the paper-thin walls. I used to feel like banging on the walls and telling them to get on with it and finish up so I could get my sleep.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    OP I suggest a sock and a snooker ball. Let your housemate know who's the daddy

    Get a bucket and fcuk all the dirty dishes into it, and leave it in a corner.

    Use your own cutlery, clean it yourself and put it away in your own drawer. Saves arguments etc. - if they want clean dishes, they'll *have* to wash them
