    Are you my flatmate? If so, just stop leaving your keys in the door, and I'll be able to get in on my own. Into my own home, that I pay a lot of rent to live in. Thought you'd have figured that out after the first three times, but some people are slower than others I guess.

    What's she supposed to do, sit in the doorway until morning? Her flatmate is locking her out! Are you suggesting a curfew or what?

    If someone woke me up at 4am stumbling in from a night out they wouldn't be my flatmate for much longer!

    Bit of respect and common courtesy goes a long way.

    Yes, but if she didn't leave her keys in the door for no good reason there's be no need to wake anyone up... Once could be a mistake, several times is just baffling :confused:

    Guy we lived with came home drunk one weekend, went about making oven chips. Fell asleep, woke up, went to bed.

    We woke up the next morning and the place was covered in smoke. He'd left the chips cooking all night.

    We could have died, doesn't really get much worse than that.

    Had a flatmate who was in to S+M. Girlfriend was getting a check-up and the surgery reported the wounds to the Guards. Skip to 7 am Saturday Morning I am leaving the house to be surrounded by 4 of Kildares finest. After explaining I was not the guy the seargent explained " We have pictures of X's arse down at the station and its not a pretty sight". They took away a load of weird stuff and equipment( a frame shaped like an X). Dont know the outcome as I moved before he was released.

    Usual small minded Ireland. Bet none of it was remotely illegal.

    Had a housemate once who objected to me and one of the girls in the house sleeping together, on the grounds that she had a boyfriend... Thing is that we weren't sleeping together.

    We rectified that problem though... :pac::pac::pac::pac:

    When I was a student there were five of us in a big house in Newcastle.

    Four of use were pretty sensible mature students, one wasn't.

    The one that wasn't was a spoilt little rich kid. Her dad had made a fortune selling time shares or something like that back in the 80s and the family wanted for nothing. Her dad wore chunky gold chains, a Rolex and a sheepskin coat.

    The odd thing as that she wasn't actually a student, she had decided to give the student life a try before deciding if university was for her.

    The problems with her were many. She refused point blank to do dishes, it wasn't a case of her just leaving them in the sink, she actually said "I'm sorry, I don't do dishes". She expected everyone else to do them for her, she would buy beer and leave it in the fridge for us as payment. She would explode when we ignored her instructions. "I've offered you beer, what more do you want?" She constantly bought fresh glasses and crockery to replace her dirty ones.

    She took up two rooms, her own and an empty room that she wasn't paying for. When the landlord found out and had words with her, she exploded and then wortte him cheque.

    When paying for her share of the bills she would throw bank notes screwed up in balls at us.

    She actually said the following -
    - "Please don't touch me, my skin is very special". (she generally had issues with what she seen as unclean people bieing near her)
    - "My dad has high hopes for me and god help anyone who interferes"
    - The only card I would use is Amex, Barclaycard is for people who work"
    - I need you all out of the house this weekend as my parents are visitng" (we stayed and acted deliberately intimidating)

    She took my TV and ONdigital box (remember them?) from my bedroom and in to hers and bought me a slab of beer thinking that would placate me. (the doors had locks, but could be pushed open easily). She was loaded, why didn't sher buy her own?

    This all came to a head one day as her dity dish pile got out of hand. It had got to several feet tall and wide and we were getting a little concerned about hygene and the like. So we left a post-it on the pile asking her nicely to deal with the dishes. I have never seen anyone explode like that before. She was kicking us and spitting at us and using swear words I didn't know existed. She then called the police in claiming we had assualted her. The assault beuing the note we left "it hurt my feelings and thats assault" she said tery eyed. Obviously the policeman told her that she needed to get her prioroties in order before leaving.

    I had to endure 9 months of allt hat prima-donna behaviour, it was hell.

    What part did you not understand and it has been spelled out to you .

    If someone leaves the keys in the inside lock in the door you can not open it from the outside.

    I would be banging down the door until I got in .

    Oh my God, there's MORE THAN ONE person who thinks like this. It's been spelled out to you that she is the one locking me out, forcing me to bang on the door, yet all you see is that I'm waking her up at 4am. Can you explain why you think I'm in the wrong here, because it baffles me. Every time the flatmate acts put out and expects me to thank her for opening the door - if I locked my flatmate out, I'd be apologising profusely for my stupidity and lack of consideration!

    I had an Italian flat-mate once. He was ok, apart from one bizarre incident. One night, at about 2am, I got up to go to the jacks. When I opened the bathroom door, he was standing in the middle of the floor with his pants around his ankles, schlong out. His girlfriend was there too, kneeling down in front of him, examining his flaccid lad - it looked as though a medical examination was taking place. They both looked up, startled, and I said something stupid like "oh! sorry", and beat a hasty retreat. Neither of us mentioned the incident afterwards, and he moved out two weeks later (for unrelated reasons; he had planned to move before the above took place).

    Definitely not the worst flat-mate ever; I've had far worse. But why couldn't they have used their bedroom to do whatever the hell is was they were doing? Or at least locked the bathroom door?

    Jaysis, you meet when some absolute nutjobs when you rent! I worked in a town in the west where I knew noone for a seven month contract. I moved in with a woman as a lodger. She was a good bit older than me, and was single and obsessed with finding a man. To the point of desperation, it was a bit scaryn I remember once the binman passed by the window with the bins and she was all like "OMG! Did you see him, he was totally checking me out! Should I go out and say something?" Literally, the man had just walked past and was probably looking at his reflection more than herself.

    I left for the weekend once and (I didn't have a lock on my bedroom or bathroom) when I came back on Sunday night, it was obvious that someone was after staying in my room and sleeping in my bed. When I went into my bathroom, there was vomit everywhere!!

    She was a good 15 years older than me and so immature.

    Woke up one night and realised I could smell smoke. Went out to the sitting room and my flatmate had put a load of food on the grill and fallen asleep. The room was thick with smoke but thankfully no fire... yet. So I grabbed the tray and put into he sink and got some water on it. I then proceeded to rip into my flatmate who was asleep on the sofa. He stood up and started having a go at ME. Oh so close to violence.

    My next flatmate was away and asked could a friend stay so we said no problem. So about a week later I was looking for this brush belonging to the girlfriend to tame me hair. Couldn't locate it so on the off chance popped me head into the flatmates room and saw it in there. So I took it back and said nothing. Anyway a day or so later the flatmates friend shouted out asking had I seen her brush. I said did she mean the girlfriends brush, she said no and described the brush to me... the girlfriends brush. So I told her again it wasn't her brush. So there's a pause and she says sorry I thought it was your flatmates brush. Which she was having the cheek to claim as her own anyway.
    So a week later myself and the girlfriend are going to be out for the day, two events, one in the morning and one in the evening. We decided to come back in the evening for an hour. So the girlfriend can't find her make-up and is ransacking the place looking for it. She doesn't wear a lot of make-up so we left it and went back out. The next morning the make-up is back as yer one has taken it to use when she was out, thinking she's be back before we were.
    Then she washed the dishes which had built up, by all three of us. Sends me a text telling me she doesn't like living in a messy place as if she hadn't also made the mess. I showed her out the door, cheeky self centred bitch, she wasn't even giving my flatmate any money for staying.

Needless ta say I fcuked her out the following day! Haven't spoken to the cow since

    my housemate's parents once came to visit. his mother brought with her, all the way from france, in a lunchbox, the corpse of a duck, which my housemate hung in the cupboard. he left it there for about three weeks, and every day after work he came in and cut some of the meat off and ate it raw. 2 month out of date yogurts are "fine", fruit that is older than god is "delicious", and I've seen him eat mince that'd be dancing around the fridge for days beforehand.
