Thickest housemate you've lived with

scojones · 23-01-2004 12:00pm #1

So who's the thickest housemate you've lived with? I know for sure you can't top this: A girl i live with thought cork was the capital of ireland because it was 'the biggest', i laughed my ass off and before i went to tell anyone she said 'tell me what the real captial is so i don't look like a fool'. She doesn't know what sinn fein is, she doesn't know who gerry adams is, she thought belfast was a county. And that's just the start. So post the attributes of your thickest housemate here!!!!

I can see how this issue must be really troubling you, you are in a very tricky situation...:rolleyes:

why didn't you post this in After Hours?

Big Chief · 23-01-2004 12:04pm

where was this aforementioned girl from anyway?

and i agree with lafortezza

[CrimsonGhost] · 23-01-2004 12:05pm

Not a house mate, but I've heard of this bloke who posts on various internet based discussion groups dissing others and laughing at them for no reason. What a complete mong!

Sleipnir · 23-01-2004 12:05pm

Lived with a girl who didn't know that LUAS was.
This was last summer, she lives in Donnybrook and worked in DCU.
Never knew what is was.

Also thought the ocean off the West Coast of Ireland was the Pacific.
And she was brought up in Donegal.

Stupid doesn't even begin to describe her.

She's from Cork. How the capital thing came up was: she was watching you're a star, and ray said something like "today we are our country's capital, dublin" and she turned around and said "don't laugh.. but.. isn't cork the capital?"

And the mods can move the thread if they think it's not suited here.

sjones have you read the CHARTER at the top of this forum?

That is one of the most confusing sentences I've ever read! I take it that was a typo, bazH?

Hmm sounds like most americans

Not in the sense that they think Cork is the capital of Irelandf but in the sense there thick as ****.
I can't even count how many times Americans asked if I spoke French when I said I was from Europe, now thats bad but whats even worse is I HAD to say Europe because none of them knew wtf Ireland was!

Hell my dad was talking to one years ago and when he said he was from Ireland, the American sat and thought for a min before finally saying "Is that near Australia?"
I'm scared of George Bush.....

Yeah after I went back to the barbeque he had lost more of his skin and was celotaping batteries to his face. I tried to stop him but he was rubbing exrement all over himself and I wasn't touching that.

WTF???????????????????????

Sleipnir · 23-01-2004 1:36pm

that's even more confusing than my post.

BlitzKrieg · 23-01-2004 7:35pm

Had a girl in my old school (notice how they are primarily female) who was from Kenya we were all in a history class the day after the american election results and the teacher asked did we know who won. My friend shouts up as a joke "Saddam won by 10 votes" Everyone laughs and the girl puts up her hand and askes "I didnt know saddam was running?"

We never let her live it down.

She had a friend also from kenya who went into Burger King on graften street and asked for chicken McNuggets...She also when i was explaining how my mp3 player worked asked "Whats a Pc?"

pretty dumb huh?

Lump · 23-01-2004 8:14pm

I asked for a whopper meal in mc donalds once.... they weren't impressed, especially when I said Burger king was so much better.

Sarky · 23-01-2004 11:41pm

Back in first year, a housemate whose name escapes me kept using the kettle-filling jug as an ashtray. The bastard.

passive · 24-01-2004 12:10am

they weren't impressed, especially when I said Burger king was so much better.

did they actually care? i mean...really? i can't see the counter staff actually giving a damn at all.

it would seriously bother me if they were upset by it (it must mean they're given some kind of rigorous brainwashing/training to make them care about the company)...unless you mean they were unimpressed by your stupidity? :rolleyes: (no offence)

Exit · 24-01-2004 12:23am

Realistically though, who would be impressed by stupidity?

Sarky · 24-01-2004 12:31am

Fox executives?

silverside · 24-01-2004 12:43am

the worst was one who spent all evening cleaning all the non-stick surface off a frying pan and said "jeez that was really hard to get clean".

BEAT · 24-01-2004 3:16am

Here's teh win:
I lived with this lady who had 3 kids and never paid any attention to them accept to scream at them, and what did she scream you may ask.. for the kids not to talk to her while she was on the computer, oh not so bad you may think huh? well it is when she is on the computer for 10 hrs a day! no kidding, walks in door from work go's straight to computer then off to bed. Hires nannies to come raise her kids for her and then wonders why the kids run around like wild feckin' animals!! oh, I dunno, maybe because they have had NO Upbringing! geesh
I hightailed it out of that crazy house, oh and I mean Lonney tooney house after 1 month, surprised I lasted there that long.
Hav'nt spoke to her since and dont care too, just hope she comes to her senses and learns what her priorities should be, namely..child 1,2 & 3.

:rolleyes:

I got on a bus to Letterkenny last year and the girl behind me was from Cork. We were chatting, and I mentioned that I went to college in Belfast. She said "Where in Derry is that then?"

I almost wet myself laughing....

Karl Hungus · 24-01-2004 10:56am

Oh god...

I once shared a house with an American lad who was possibly the most ignorant person I've ever met in my life. Now I've shared this house with a few Americans before, and they're pretty sound, but this guy was a ****ing peice of work. He was the Sistene Chapel of sheer stupidity...

For one, he was an Army guy, and there wasn't a conversation that went by where he didn't make light of the fact that he was an advocate of G.W. Bush. I could go on, any he did many, many things that really got up my nose...

But the icing on the cake, was when we were telling him about pubs in Galway, and that there was a couple of gay pubs just so he didn't go in by accident. The conversation went on about that subject, but then, I couldn't beleive what he said next... He said that there was no gay bars in America. And he got very, very offended when we were trying to say that there must be gay bars in America.

PAINfully stupid.

And she named her kids 1, 2 & 3? Jeez, some people! :rolleyes:

Kalina · 24-01-2004 2:22pm

I had a housemate last year who was pretty thick, but not so much in the academic sense. I was living with my boyfriend at the time and two first year lads. We didn't trust them at all so we kept our rooms locked all the time. My boyfriend had a PC and PS2 in his room and occasionally he let the first years in to play the PS2. What we didn't know was that 1 of them had gotten a key to the room and was letting himself in whenever he felt like to use the PS2. We finally rumbled him when he left his mobile on the chair one day and locked it in the room. He was lucky he got away without a kicking.
Thick doesn't even come close to describing him! :rolleyes:

i_am_dogboy · 24-01-2004 2:55pm

One of my housemates left an electric kettle on a hot ring of our cooker, needless to say he didn't end up with boiling water in the end, just a big ol' load of plastic metled to our cooker.

My sisters old boyfriend from Germany did that once, ohhh how we laughed
He wasn't used to having a electric kettle

DRakE · 26-01-2004 10:32am

Those crazy backwards Germans!

vibe666 · 26-01-2004 10:48am

had some work experience eejit do something similar with joint of beef. chef told him to put it in the oven at a specific time, and shortly after that smoke came pouring out of the kitchen.

he'd slid the joint into the oven still sitting on the plastic chopping board it had been resting on. and it was straight onto the rack as well, so it had melted though onto the bottom of the oven. nasty smell, and lots and lots of smoke.

lol! In halls last year, one of the girls on the floor above us put the toaster on the red-hot hob, and then forgot about it. Went back to her room, the fire-alarm went (cutting all the building's electricity) the firebridage came out and walked out of the building with the flattest toaster ever seen

She's also a mine of silly quotes, but we'll leave that to another day, when I can remember some of them.

bean · 26-01-2004 12:02pm

Not sure if this was thick but it really does stand out in my memory.
When we all moved in together one of us had to arrange a telly for the year. One of the girls jumped to it and within days we had a new set. We were amazed but a bit annoyed at the rental cost so we got it checked out. The other girls went to the shop to inquire but there was no TV rental there listed for our address, however there was a hire purchase. We were LIVID. We were paying a hefty amout to her and she was getting a tv at the end of the year that we effectivley bought her. She had told everyone that it was a rental. We confronted her but she refused to see the issue...

scojones · 26-01-2004 12:06pm

An addition to the first post: Last night my housemate said "why are they still looking for bin laden? Shure, Didn't he fly those planes into the buildings" :rolleyes:

Agent Smith · 26-01-2004 7:18pm

we had a lodger in our house when my dad was out of work with an acident,

her: how do you spell "ok"

me: are you serious,

her: yeah

me: well there's 2 way's, o k as in the letters o and k, and then there's "okay" spelt o,k a,y" by the way why you ask,

her: i'm writing a report on the smallest word in the english language

( i was like 6 at the time, she was 25)

almost as good as the time when she asked my dad " how much milk was in a liter" (spelling?)

scojones · 09-02-2004 2:59pm

My housemate was is at it again! She called up the nct crowd, to get her card nct'd. So they asked her for her registration number. She replies "where do i find that?" Yer one at the office says "It's on the front of your car", housemate replies "It's not in my glove compartment, hang on i'll ring you back". She asks her father where she can find her registration number.. and he explains that it's her license plate number. And she says to him "Oh, i was wondering why the girl on the phone was laughing" :rolleyes:

guy in my course was staying with an American. He came home one day and found a shopping trolley in his apartment. He asked the American guy where it came from and he said "Im not paying €1 for a trolley everytime I go shopping"

How does it make business sense? You get the Euro back when your done with the trolley, it just means he has to wheel the trolley to the shop everytime.
