annoying housemate habits?

rayGunn  said about 5 years ago  or at  2:08AM on Wednesday, January 10 2007 in chat

whattya have to put up with? i ask as i just went downstairs for a midnight slash and found all the lights on on the bottom floor and no one in any of 'em. lounge room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom & toilet, all cheerily lit but devoid of occupants.

i haven't said anything even though it's been going on since they moved in and it's kinda pointless to now as they're out in a fortnight so i'll just grin and bear it; plus it's a total dad thing to complain about, innit?


freaksandgeeks  said about 5 years ago:

yeah it could be worse. that said, my housemate is lovely!


selttiks  said about 5 years ago:

yeah, i'm guilty of that rayGunn..

the worst i cop is loud (high heeled) footsteps outside my bedroom door in the mornings and people eating my food..

meh

i had a really insane roomate for a month (i had to get out of there). She believed it was bad feng shui to keep the toilet seat up because it meant "money down the drain". I kept forgetting and she thought I was doing it on purpose to ruin her life. She'd also pick up individual strands of hair in the bathroom and show them to me, waving them in my face and accusing me of leaving them around on purpose too...

She and my landlady decided that I was sexually abused as a child (not true in anyway) and talked about it all the time. She would often sit me down and try to get me to admit how fucked up i must be underneath it all... I dont think she believed that people don't necessarily have to have problems. I have lots of stories about the landlady too, but thats a whole nother story... a very trying period in my life...


emiliabedilia  said about 5 years ago:

oh, she cleaned constantly, that was her annoying habit. despite having a back injury that she was always complaining about.

i read this once in some trash-mag and am now obsessed with it, not that i believe in feng shui but it's better to be safe than sorry, right?

luckily i live on my ownsome so i don't annoy anyone with it

You should totally freak this woman out by actually leaving $5 in the toilet one day. Worth the money, I feel.

my housemate leaves his alarm clock on when he stays at his girls and i have to turn it off at 6am. MAKES ME WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM


MattuS  said about 5 years ago:

I was talking to someone the other day, and her house mate wipped his ars on her towel. Thats pretty bad.

Still looking for a house mate :)


empra  said about 5 years ago:

Ha ha, I was thinking about this today. I must be one of the worst people to live with.

I always get home at all hours, I often bring a group of people with me to piss on. I play music loud, I hog the TV and watch really bad TV shows, I sleep on the couch all weekend, I eat people's food because I always forget to buy some, I never know when bin day is... Geezus. Poor Bob.


Inactivist  said about 5 years ago:

You suck, empra.

My problem is my housemates dogs. I've bitched to everyone about 'em. On Tuesday one woke me up at 5am barking at nothing outside, then when I got home that evening both had shat in the lounge room.

ewwwwwww


Ohyeah  said about 5 years ago:

yeah Bob can keep you Empra if that is the case.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

oooh

shakes fist


empra  said about 5 years ago:

careful blake, there's an exploding bladder in the mail for ya.

i know inactivist, i know! i can't even say i'd hate to live with me though, because i'd love someone to can on with all the time. it's not as bad when you're with another person.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

Holy shit, empra...you really do suck.


freaksandgeeks  said about 5 years ago:

a friend of mine is looking for a place in a few weeks. He asked if it would be appropriate to ask at interviews of share houses if the housemates were 'ecologically minded'. I said it was fine, but they might laugh.


rawr  said about 5 years ago:

my house mates
- leave the lights on "in case i need to get up"
- don't seem to know how to operate a flushing toilet
- don't seem to know how to change a toilet roll
- CUT THEIR HAIR into said unflushed toilet bowl.

And since I have started working 9-5 I am constantly being woken up in the wee hours of the morning as they stumble home.


squircle  said about 5 years ago:

Constantly cleaning is my housemates biggest problem. We have a couch with a sheet on it and i am too scared to sit on it because if i get up to change the channel, she fixes it up. She wipes the TV screen whilst i am watching it. Live a little for fucks sake.

She also complains about me having the aircon on on 40 degree days - its not that hot she says. She also has 45 minute showers and goes to bed at 8pm every night even though she gets up at 7am.

Apart from that, she is real nice.

THERE'S A DROUGHT ON, YA KNOW!

If I have to use both hands to count on the amount of pressed felt vests they own, they are a hippy.


Brian O'Dwyer  said about 2 months ago:

holy shit, you have a pool?

:)


Jacky_Chiles  said about 2 months ago:

If you let one hippy in, many more will follow. Then all of a sudden, massive hippy-bongo fest 2000!


dnzr  said about 2 months ago:

like kiwis and vampires, you let one across the threshold and it gives permission for the rest to come in as well.


ocelotl  said about 2 months ago:

pressed felt vests

Ew. I can smell him from here.


fzchk  said about 2 months ago:

pressed felt vests

Or also, entire pressed velt outfits. Layers upon layers.


tenzenmen  said about 2 months ago:

my housey is so unhappy he hasn't been home for 3 days. til tonight. banging everything louder than everything else til 11pm. it's laughable. sometimes it's hard to remember i'm not 5 years old too....

My housemates are pale faces. So annoying


kelele  said about 2 months ago:

''My housemates are pale faces''

I believe the term is ghost face.

''my housemate is so unhappy, he didn't come home for three days.''

Not coming home for three days doesn't have to mean unhappy. I've done that more than once when on a bender.


fzchk  said about 2 months ago:

My new hippy housemate will not stop drinking. She's drunk two beers my friend left for me after my birthday and stole one from the half slab in my bedroom doorway. JUST BUY YOUR OWN FUCKING BOOZE! Or, STOP DRINKING EVERY NIGHT.
She's essentially a nice person actually.


kelele  said about 2 months ago:

I have stolen three spoonfuls of my housemates natural yoghurt. I hope she doesn't notice.


kelele  said about 2 months ago:

Stealing beer is never cool.


scenestercrotch  said about 2 months ago:

Ooooh, what an enormous fuckface! I put up with a beer thief in my last digs. The worst is when you have a massive day and get in after midnight to find your post-work longy drunk and no way of replacing it. That drives me absolutely apeshit.


mswahili  said about 2 months ago:

[Ein, zwei, drei, vier!] x infinity...

Housemate + douchebag friends + the moronic militaristic goose-stepping shite on JJJ at the moment.
They only ever drink at home because they'd be kicked out of any venue in under 5 seconds. Acting like a brain-damaged 5 year old as soon as you've had a couple of drinks tends to achieve that result.


puke_spit_and_guts  said about 2 months ago:

the toenails that missed the pot plant pot, and got left behind when ''toenails'' moved, was a nice touch.


tenzenmen  said about 2 months ago:

mine has gone - hooray! he hasn't returned the keys tho.... and he's left a massive unremovable stain on the carpet - boo! tribunal on monday.


Hellzapoppin  said about 2 months ago:

Not paying the rent.. each and every fucking month! ... ''Oh, it's due today''... yep, the same day a every other month you've lived here... fuck me, how retarded are people.


max bulk  said about 2 months ago:

Haha I had a guy like that. Then most of the time when he was reminded, he'd say that he was skint until next pay. And then you'd need to chase him up again.


fzchk  said about 2 months ago:

Annoying ex-housemate habits. Expecting me to help organise the replacement of a broken window 12 months after I moved out just because the landlord still had my number and they didn't answer their phone when the repair guy called.


Hellzapoppin  said about 2 months ago:

I've had plenty of cumscrags like that over the years, and you expect that month game of 'chase the $$$'... but this one has cash, she just lives in her own little world.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Hellzapoppin  said about 2 months ago:

And unsurprisingly she owns a stupid retro bike with a basket on the front, you just know she rides straight through intersections without looking, whilst talking on her iphone, and never gets hit yet causes hundred of accidents..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
