Sharing accomodation with couples....

From a landlord's perspective, the more people living in a flat/house, the more wear and tear on facilities/appliances. Better to have two people sharing a kitchen and bathroom than four for the same rent.

From a tenant's perspective, it also means more people having to share communal facilities.

Also getting caught in the middle of a couple fighting or...otherwise...., doesn't appeal to a lot of people.

could you imagine having to listen to a bird whos on one in your own livingroom and your not even getting a ride out of it
that is what it entails

I lived with a couple for over 20 years.
The lady would make me food and the man would give me pocket money.
They were my parents so it was grand.

Could they not do it in the bedroom FFS?! :mad:

Trust me they did. It sounded like there was a trampolining competition going on while some builders were knocking down the wall. Do your own thing on your own patch and I cud care less but that night when I got the trots and was waiting for "whoever" to finish their 25 minute "shower" certainly was the end.

Lived with two gay Portuguese guys, a Chinese couple and another couple in one flat. Typical that the night I had diarrhoea that the Portuguese were bumming each other in the bathroom. I decided to move out as I realised how tragic it was to be hovering over the bin in my room scuttering away, with a milk bottle of piss beside me (only one bathroom so often had to pee in my room) and d ladz pounding the hoop off each other in d jacks.

FFS like - thats probably why you had diarrhoea

- they put santorum all over the jacks the evenin b4 and a tiny bit got on your toothbrush - into your mouth and thats it


/f that

I was living in an apartment before and one of the lads living there started going out with going out with someone I would have been friendly with. She completely moved all her stuff in really early on in the relationship and didn't pay rent or contribute towards any of the bills. She would take all of the hot water in the mornings and spend aaages in the shower every morning and in the evenings when she would get home.

We all used to feel so uncomfortable around them! The kitchen/living room would be completely taken over at all times by them and even watching one program on tv they would be ALL over each other like teenagers on the couch! Early mornings the loud high pitch laughing/moaning etc would be cruel! Breakfast time was by far the worst. They couldn't even make their f*ckin porridge without being intertwined, wearing half nothing and kissing while stirring the shaggin porridge. She also took over a press in the kitchen and a shelf in the fridge without asking and would regularly just throw out food from the fridge. The flirting between them used to be nauseating and OTT.

I wouldn't be keen on sharing with a couple again!

Now I'm a very tolerant person, but a shelf in the fridge, fcuk that, who does she think she is?

it was one of those small under counter fridges and there was a few of us in the place so fridge/cuppord space was tight! The shelf she took would was one of the lads fridge shelf and she would stack his stuff in the corner and would use it as her shelf and she used to pelt all her excess stuff in the drawers.

We had some laugh one day when she pelted in a load of veg in on top of one of the girls natural yoghurt pots and burst it and just left and walked off. Idiot.
