Would you ever share a room?

    I'm in the middle of a move to Dublin and, going through listings on Daft.ie, I'm amazed by the number of people who are sharing a room or are looking for someone to share with. Heck, some rooms I came across had two and were looking for a third to move in.

    So, people of AH, would you be willing to share a bedroom with someone who was essentially a complete strange?

    I know I never could; regardless of what goes on in my life, my bedroom is usually my sanctum, as it were, where I can unwind and relax. Sharing a room, you just couldn't get that.

    I do. I'm in college sharing with another girl. It's been grand, apart from when she gets the ride and I'm already in bed...

    A room? No. A house? NO.

    I'm just after getting my own gaff (thank you Germany for reasonable rent prices!) so no way in hell.

    I didn't even like sharing when I lived at home. Even if I lived with a partner I'd need to have my own room in the house where I could go sometimes, even if I didn't sleep in it that much.

    You should set up a webcam for when that happens, you'd make a fortune!

    I've seen enough pornos to know that the right thing to do is to join in and take off your pyjamas to reveal you wearing a strap-on for absolutely no apparent reason :pac:

    I shared a room in digs when I was in in 1st year in college. Was fine, apart from the time the guy started speaking in his sleep and said my name... euuuh....

    I did years ago when I lived in Dublin. I shared with a Spanish fella that had no English at all. We actually got in very well and by the time he went back to Spain after 6 months his English was pretty good. He also had very hot Spanish girl friends who used to call over regularly. I was allowed to ride one of them quite a few times so it was all good.

    I did for three years in college, me and the room-mate got on good so it was great fun. Not everyone was so lucky with their room-mate as me though!

    Something very odd about that post.




  • The fact that his Spanish roommate gave him permission to ride one of his friends? Or the fact it probably happened in the same bed they shared?

    Weird.

    I share a room with my missus.

    Give it time...you too will know all about 'Sofa Back'. It's like tennis elbow but more back than elbow. Also, its more cos' of the sofa than tennis. Still aches, though.

    What happens when you get the ride?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    I did many years ago now when I moved from Sydney to London. It was a nice area so rent was super high.

    I shared with a New Zealand girl. She snored so loud that I had to make sure I fell into a deep sleep before she went to sleep or I would never get to sleep.

    I often slept on the couch. Had almost forgotten about that :p

    I share a room with my sister. Wish it was anybody else's sister to be honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    I shared a hotel room once. Never again, the snoring, the smelly feet, the farting, sleepwalking, jasus, unbelievable. I didn't even know I snored. The smelly feet I accept, grudgingly, but it's not my fault..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭Gongoozler


    Wait till you get to the ones looking for someone to share a double bed. They're semi rare, but do come up.

    I would never do it anyway. Can barely share an apartment.

    Yeah it sounds like the roommate is a pimp.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Shared a room with my brother until I was about 9 or so. We used to kill each other to get the top bunk bed. I ****ing hated it- every morning I'd bang my head on the underside of his mattress. Now that I have the biggest room in the house though, I would'nt give it up for the world.
    Double bed sprawl space for the wiiiin....

    No, they were all part if the same student group. I got on well with one of his female friends and asked him to vacate our room a few times so that me and Estelle could have some "alone" time.
