Housemates

[Spammer]

Here's the thread to talk/moan about housemates and all that fun stuff.

In my flat on Friday night and went to ask my housemate something. Her door was half open so I went in to ask her and she was sat in front of her computer without any kit on. Awkward. She came to the door in her dressing gown and I noticed she had loads of obvious make-up on - big red lipstick, loads of eye stuff etc. She wasn't planning on going out but just wanted to put make-up on because she felt like it, apparently.

So yeah, I reckon she's a camwhore.

[wullie]

Seeing you walk into the shot in the background put me right off.

[SvN]

If there's ever been a thread that's worthless without pics, it's this one.

[Sam]

Was she good looking?

[Spammer]

She's alright. She could probably make a bit of money as a camwhore anyway.

[igor_balis]

I'll go and get the video of my kitchen.

[Spammer]

So my housemate who's got a bit of a screw loose has gone full mental recently and has apparently disappeared.

I feel a bit awful for saying it, but I don't really care. All she does is say horrible and inappropriate things to and about everyone, and my way of dealing with it has just been to detach from her completely. Other housemate is finding it harder.

[Shindig]

The fella upstairs seems to have left on Wednesday without knocking his light off or locking his front door.

[Spammer]

Batty housemate turned up about 6pm.

Wouldn't be anything to worry about but she put a 1000 word cry for help on Facebook a few days ago about how hard it is to live with depression, so we were a bit worried she might have offed herself.

[GS]

Did your housemate not react when you walked in on her?

[Spammer]

She was just like 'ahh!' and I was like 'sorry!' and closed the door, and then she came to the door in her dressing gown. I think she said 'shit!' to herself before opening the door.

[Giggles]

Sounds like an attention seeking cunt. Encourage her.

[Lewis]

I once heard Czech Murderer shouting at his bird (the one he used to hide), and when I went to get a drink he came storming out of his room in just his pants and a shirt with a camera around his neck, ran down the stairs, came seething back up with a bunch of bin liners in his hand, and slammed the door behind him. I was stood on the landing doing my best Cornette Face throughout, and he didn't make eye contact once. Legend.

Why didn't you knock? Seems like a weird thing to just barge into someone's room.

Sounds like that scene in fight club where Brad Pitt answers the door with a rubber glove on.

I once had one of my uni housemates run out of her room with her tits out when I was walking up the hallway

[Spammer]

:rosebud:

As the day went on I got a bit worried.

Her door was quite open already; I could have seen her from the hall if I'd come from the other direction.

[Shindig]

Okay, so I went to the flat upstairs just to switch their landing light off. There are keys still in the door. Going to give the letting agency a ring tomorrow. Either he's away and the set is a spare or he's left and the agency's left a set there by accident. Looks like a spare set. Might just leave this one.

[The Merse]

I'm not sure I can wait until tomorrow for this mystery to be solved.

Edit - fucking edits. You're not going to follow it up now? Have some consideration for us (me) Shindig... I've not taken particularly well to Mr Robot. Fucking get up there and rummage about for some clues.

If however it smells a bit rank then do stay away from man sized holdalls/chests.

[Clunge]

My nine foot tall Czech cagefighter housemate disappeared without a trace about a month ago. Utterly bizarre.

Nah, I'll just play the long game. If it starts stinking, I'll give the agents a ring, He's an epileptic pisshead so it could've gone a bit Bonn Scott. Or he could be in hospital or on holiday. He's got form for being gone for the odd stretch.

[Shindig]

Couldn't contain myself. Went up there to check the place out. He left all the lights on (that weren't blown) and has done a runner. Spare keys are in the door and his mattress is on the landing.

[Foe]

My flat mate is leaving today to move back down south :(. He's got a pretty cool job in an F1 team lined up mind (not a driver, obvs) and some personal reasonsso can't blame him .

The last flatmate did the same.

No more spotter in the gym either. :mad:

[igor_balis]

I've left Edinburgh for good now. Asked my flatmate to cart a couple of bags of my shit to the storage unit down the road, even offered him £50, but he said no so I had to get a pissing 10 hour round train journey to do it myself.

I know it is my own fault for not sorting it out earlier, and it was his prerogative to tell me to piss off, but it was still a pain in the fucking arse. I'd have done it for free if roles were reversed.

My housemate is now my mother again, for the next few months. Preferable to Edinburgh man in all honesty.

[Spammer]

The flatmate I'm really close with has moved out this week. She's probably my closest friend up here and I really miss her being in the next room. She's only up the road but it's hit me these last couple of days how different it is :(. Other flatmate (camwhore flatmate) is alright I guess, though she can be annoying and isn't really good at the whole 'listening to what you are saying' thing.

Her replacement seems alright. He has a PS4 and likes wrestling. He just spent 3 hours playing Diablo in the front room.

[Baz]

You should invite igor_balis to move in.

[Shindig]

Apparently the guy upstairs ran off because of some police involvement. The place is now locked up.

[Spammer]

Weird dynamic shift in my gaff.

Beforehand there was me, nice housemate and moaning housemate. Nice housemate has moved up the road now though and nice male housemate has moved in.

Moaning housemate tends to get properly vitriolic about everything if given half a chance, and me and old housemate learned not to entertain it for the sake of our own sanity. New housemate hasn't learned that though, and was sat there listening to her spit venom at everything for quite a while earlier. I'm hoping that he's just in the 'be nice all the time' stage that can happen when you don't know people that well, and that he'll deal with it properly in his own way after a couple of weeks. I'm worried though that he's simply too nice to ever just tell her to fuck off though, even if it's affecting him negatively.

The dude's just come out of a relationship and seems in a bit of a bad way - he needs time away from that kind of negativity - and the last thing he needs is to listen to her spout shit all the time. Thing is, I suspect he thinks I'm a bit of a cunt for not having time for her. Will be interesting to see how this pans out, as he needs to figure it out himself and I'm wary of just saying "she's a horrible cow mate, just stay away" as at this stage, before he's figured it out himself, it might make him wary of me rather than her.

[Spammer]

It's funny that this post follows the last one.

Things have been ok with moany housemate generally over the last few months. Largely because she moans and spits venom at everything and nowadays I respond with humour. It stops me from taking on her vitriol because I don't want to take that on when I'm at home -I get enough heavy shit at work and counselling and I want to relax when I'm at home. I'd be happy to listen to her but she just spews poison at things and generally comes out with very cynical comments and it got to the stage where I had to figure out a different way of doing things for my own good.

But now she's got pissy at me for belittling her when she moans about things. Me and male housemate were having a chat in our Whatsapp group about Trump and all this other shit, and she asked us to take it somewhere else. Then she got involved in that very same Whatsapp group. And then she got furious at me a bit later for ignoring her request to leave.

Anyway, she started shouting and generally just embarrassed herself. Apparently she's really upset at me though. Apparently it's due to me not taking her moaning seriously, and she wants to talk to me about it later. So I'm going to explain to her, with all sincerity, that I find her toxic and take the piss so I don't have to deal with her bullshit. Looking forward to it.

[phonics]

Just get the Arnie soundboard out and every time she raises her voice play the "Stop Whining" bit. Done.

[Giggles]

Telling people I don't give one tiny fuck about anything they think, do, or say is about the only thing I miss about house sharing. People can have an awful sense of self importance and she sounds right at the top of the scale.

[Pepe]

Just go live alone. Housesharing. :sick:

[Disco]

Just get the Arnie soundboard out and every time she raises her voice play the "Stop Whining" bit. Done.

'Let off some steam Bennett!' would be more appropriate, perhaps shoddily dubbing her name over the end.

[Giggles]

The Arnie soundboard is so brilliant. We killed hours years ago using that to phone in to the factory floor from the bullpens.

[Ian]

Telling people I don't give one tiny fuck about anything they think, do, or say is about the only thing I miss about house sharing.

A frank "I don't care" can be brutal to the right sort of person who would rather you said something offensive and get into a row.

Good old apathy.

[Spammer]

Turns out she's going out on a date tonight, so we haven't spoken.

This might turn out to be pretty bad news though, because she might be going on a date with a bloke I work with. She came up to me a while back with a Tinder profile of a bloke she was chatting to who told her works for the same place that I work at. Turns out I kinda know him. I saw him about a week or so and we chatted about it. He asked me what she was like and I said that she's alright but she moans a lot. He joked that he'd tell her what I'd said. If she's out with him and he mentions it then that'd be pretty bad timing.

[mugbull]

Hahaha

[mugbull]

You'll be dead this time tomorrow bub.

[Boydy]

:D

I really hope he tells her.

[Bartholomert]

I greatly prefer living alone, but at the same time having at least one roommate keeps me more honest when it comes to hygiene, keeping things clean, going to class, doing homework, going to the gym, etc.

[Giggles]

You'll wake up tonight with her standing at the end of your bed.

RIP Hammer

Hygiene again? :D what the fuck.

[Lewis]

This 'super moon' is a fucking bust.

[Pen]

Is roommate the same as housemate, but in American English? I suspect it is, but if teen comedies haven't lied to roommate literally means roommate there.

[Spammer]

I didn't notice he used 'roommate'. I'd hate having a roommate, I need my own space. Flatmates are fine for me though.

When I shared a bed with my ex it was hard enough, and I'd genuinely consider having separate rooms once I'm in that situation again. Separate rooms with a lot of sharing beds though, obvs :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I liked the Basil and Sybil Fawlty setup with two single beds in the same room.

[Giggles]

You'll wake up tonight with her standing at the end of your bed.

RIP Hammer

I fully blame me saying this for waking up dreaming about a kid standing beside my bed staring at me in the small hours of this morning. The Mrs said I just woke up, punched the lamp on the bedside cabinet, and went back to sleep.

[Pen]

Best way to live is by yourself. If I had money I'd just buy two flats next to each other and live in them with the missus, not that I mind the current living situation but everything would be easier with 'unlimited' personal space. Housemates were great to have when living in a new city, but I doubt I could manage to live with mates or let alone randomers anymore now that I actually have some responsibilities.

[mugbull]

I'd definitely want roommates until i'm like 26-27. Always have ppl to talk to and chill out with. As long as you can vet them in advance somehow.

/ obviously not in the same room...

[leedsrevolution]

I literally can't be alone. I start going mental. After 2 days I'm a fucking wreck. Having people around keeps me in line for some reason.

If our lass ever had to work away for a few months god knows what would happen to me. She'd probs come home to me like this:


https://youtu.be/AQMNSIKThVo

[Spammer]

Not seen housemate since she went on that date. She texted me apologising for shouting at me, and i said no worries, and I've only seen her since since when she came into the living room and ignored me.

Meanwhile I think other housemate is annoyed because we were chatting about 'social justice' and I said I'd judge whether or not anyone gives a shit from what they do with their actual lives, because it's easy to talk about caring but not many people go out and do stuff, and if you just talk then you're probably full of shit.

I suggested he was nothing but hot air, basically. Which is true. Thus was on WhatsApp. He came in and seemed pretty terse with me. That might be my imagination though. I kinda want them both to be seething at some home truths though, because ive held back for too long tbh. Public enemy No.1 :cool:

[Raoul Duke]

6-1 on that he ends up banging her, brought together by their mutual seething at you :nodd:

[John]

Hang on. You're in the same house Whatsapping eachother?

[Adamski]

Hang on. You're in the same house Whatsapping eachother?

I WhatsApp my wife if she's up the stairs. Not talking is better than talking.

[Spammer]

Hang on. You're in the same house Whatsapping eachother?

No we were out at the time.

I forgot to mention too - I got home yesterday and tried using the Bluetooth speaker to play some music and the power chord had disappeared. It's her speaker, although it's in the living room for everyone and in practice the other two hardly use it, while I use it quite often when I'm in there. It's on top of the telly with the lead going back behind it, so not something that will just get lost randomly. Luckily the power lead is the same one as my PS3, so I just plugged it in using that. Can't be certain but I wouldn't be surprised if she'd hid the power lead to spite me, and I made sure to blast out some music for a few seconds before turning it down to make clear to everyone that I've got it working.

Passive-aggressive warfare :drool:

[Giggles]

Headcase :drool:

She's definitely killing you in your sleep. Shell probably hate shag you first though.

[Spammer]

Been using the speaker with my PS3 power chord for the last 4-5 days. Housemate came in the living room tonight though and turned it off while I was listening to it.

Bint: How have you got his working?
Me: What do you mean?
Bint: I took the power chord away.
Me: Why did you do that?
Bint: Because I don't want you to use it.
Me: Why not?
Bint: Because it's mine.

Then she got up and walked away. As she was walking out the living room door I called "I used your microwave a few minutes ago!" and then once she'd gone back to her room I turned my music back on.

Ten minutes later she comes in again and I'm like 'ffs' but she only came in to get her bag and she's fucked off out now. She looked furious though.

One other thing: I have a load of books that I keep on my window sill, mostly ones that I've read that I might need to reference at some point. I came in my room this evening (after the above) and found that all of those books had been taken off the window sill and were in a single stack on the floor. Now, this would be a pretty strange thing to do. It was raining heavily earlier though, and some of the windows in our flat leak sometimes when it rains very heavily, so I reckon my other housemate has moved them just a case. Mine doesn't actually leak, but he wouldn't know that.

I texted him thanking him, and texted her too saying "I'm not sure if it was you but if it was, thanks. It was really thoughtful." So at least I'm making an effort to be nice. That'll probably piss her off even more though.

[Offshore Toon]

Chinese people are so weird. I was really considering teaching English in China after uni, but living with four of them has put an end to that. They're so ridiculously shy. Today I came out of the kitchen, and saw a girl about to walk out, then closed the door again. I heard her walk out as soon as I was in my room. It was quite funny when they're chatting in Chinese and then I hear something like "surprise, motherfucker!" in a shit American accent. Also, one of the guys was passed out in the toilet a couple of weeks ago from necking a bottle of vodka. Got a lot of respect for embracing our culture.

[Spoonsky]

Move in with Charlie in Taipei instead.

[SvN]

I lived with a couple of Chinese people. The highlight was the fact that the girl would proudly display her used sanitary pads blood-side up neatly on top of the rubbish bin.

[Lewis]

My Norwich landlord (who was an Arab) stopped renting rooms to Chinese students after three of them trashed his kitchen. :cool:

[SvN]

One of them once cooked for me and while some if it wasn't bad, I nearly threw up when I tried the watery vegetables with raw egg poured in that he called a "soup" as a starter. He also grabbed two office chairs (on wheels) and said we should eat up the worktop in the kitchen, despite there being a perfectly good dining table available.

[Lewis]

We also once had a Muslim girl look around the house and then storm out shouting 'I WILL NOT LIVE WITH BOYS!' Foreigners are idiots.

[7om]

Who's going to snap first? Magic when he gives up this act and lets the anger flow through him or Hammer ditching the passive aggressive shit-off and strangling his housemate with the power chord?

I'd like odds.

[Spammer]

I doubt it'll be me, I'm enjoying myself. Largely because I've tried talking to her and she's just ignored me, so I now I'm sitting back and watching her make a shambles of herself.

I've just been having a piss and i could hear her run from her bedroom to the front door to get out the flat before I'd finished.

[John]

Been using the speaker with my PS3 power chord for the last 4-5 days. Housemate came in the living room tonight though and turned it off while I was listening to it.

Bint: How have you got his working?

Bint: Because I don't want you to use it.
Me: Why not?
Bint: Because it's mine.

Then she got up and walked away. As she was walking out the living room door I called "I used your microwave a few minutes ago!" and then once she'd gone back to her room I turned my music back on.

She's obviously being a petty shithouse but you don't come out looking too great either, continuing to use someone's stuff after they've specifically asked you to stop.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I had a Chinese flatmate once and she just didn't understand how English food works. She'd cook herself a nice bit of chicken, for example, and then serve it with toast and strawberries.

[Clunge]

That's quality :D.

So I moved out of my basement room of 4.5 years, living in a house with six others, to Tooting about three weeks ago with just two others, one of whom is one of my best mates.

I don't think I've ever been more content.

[igor_balis]

A Chinese bloke was in my first year halls flat and I saw him about 4 times despite him living there from September to may and me walking around the flat at all hours. We reckoned the constant power cuts were because he had a rice cooker and all sorts wired up in his bedroom seeing as he never used the kitchen.

[Offshore Toon]

Thinking about it, I may have been a tad harsh on China as a whole. This lot are from Hong Kong. I actually have a mate from China from first year who was great, and thought the Chinese were weird so didn't want to hang around with them. I was also chatting to a bloke from Shanghai a couple of weeks ago who was a good bloke and said that people from Hong Kong think they're 'British' and better than other Chinese people.

[SvN]

I had a Chinese flatmate once and she just didn't understand how English food works. She'd cook herself a nice bit of chicken, for example, and then serve it with toast and strawberries.

One of my housemates asked me for a simple English dish to cook his friends, so I told him to cook a fry up. I gave him a list of ingredients and left him to it.

I went to the kitchen just as he was serving. Highlights included: boiled eggs with the shells still on, cold beans poured right from the tin to plate, boiled sausages and hash browns. He nailed the bacon to be fair.

[Offshore Toon]

They do love a good boiled meat product. Hash browns is a new one, but fair play, they'll boil fucking anything.

[Disco]

I lived with a Malaysian guy in Cardiff who ate nothing but fish fingers which he would fry in a weird mess tin and then eat with a little bit of white pepper.

[Spammer]

She's obviously being a petty shithouse but you don't come out looking too great either, continuing to use someone's stuff after they've specifically asked you to stop.

That'd be fair enough if the kitchen wasn't made up of my appliances and utensils etc which she uses on a regular basis. I mean, asking her not use that would be pretty pathetic and I'm not sure if I'm at level, but she's gone there so it's a point I can raise if she carries on with it.

A lot of the stuff in the communal areas have been used by everyone openly for the last two years. To be honest I'd have probably obliged with the speaker if she'd just asked me directly to not use it.

[Spoonsky]

Who's going to snap first? Magic when he gives up this act and lets the anger flow through him or Hammer ditching the passive aggressive shit-off and strangling his housemate with the power chord?

I'd like odds.

Hammer snapping would mean that he stopped strangling people with power chords.

[Smiffy]

Bint: How have you got his working?
Me: What do you mean?
Bint: I took the power chord away.
Me: Why did you do that?
Bint: Because I don't want you to use it.
Me: Why not?
Bint: Because it's mine.

She's clearly an unhappy woman who needs taking down a peg. I fucking hate the sort. Is it harming anyone you using a damn speaker?! People are so selfish it's unreal at times.

[Smiffy]

She's obviously being a petty shithouse but you don't come out looking too great either, continuing to use someone's stuff after they've specifically asked you to stop.

I think he came out looking fantasic.

"I used your microwave five minutes ago....and I didn't wash your fork! HA!" :D

[John]

He comes out looking better than her, and the way he tells it he'd need to shit in her sleeping mouth to come out looking worse, but still not great.

[Smiffy]

He should shit in her mouth and apologise for being unsure if he was allowed to use the toilet whilst he's wiping.

[Manc]

My fellow rentee struggles with cleanliness. She's been home all day and I came home to a sink full of dishes and an overflowing bin.

Doesn't even fucking register.

Leaving clothes in the washing machine is her favourite past time.

[Adamski]

She's clearly an unhappy woman who needs taking down a peg. I fucking hate the sort. Is it harming anyone you using a damn speaker?! People are so selfish it's unreal at times.

:D

[phonics]

I've been on Hammers side for all of his other slightly off kilter things but everything he's posted so far has him coming across like a complete dickhead.

[7om]

To be fair, the microwave line got a lol from me.

[Offshore Toon]

The Chinese have been doing my head in the past couple of days. They piss on the toilet seat and around the toilet. Doors only seem to slam when they walk through them. And now they've been screaming for about half an hour and I'm pretty sure it isn't a mass orgy. Worst part is they're not going home when term ends. They're just going to carry on playing Ready, Steady, Gook all evening and listening to Justin Bieber.

[Spammer]

That's subtle. You might get away with that.

[Mike]

My housemate has just left his tea to go catch an Electabuzz. I think I've picked well. :cool2:

[Spammer]

Brought a lass back to my gaff last week. We're not really dating just spending time together really, and we haven't talked about anything else. She's 23 but she looks more like 18. Nothing happened - we just chilled in the living room chatting and we watched a film.

My housemate was weird throughout. He came in the room and laughed at the film and then left again, and afterwards she mentioned that she chatted to him a couple of times and he never made eye contact with her or even look at her.

Then a few days later my housemate specifically told me how he couldn't believe how young the kids were in this bar he was in and that he was not attracted to any of them. Then he told me that his brother (a 29 year old mature undergraduate) has a lot of 18 year old friends and plays wingman to them and ends up sleeping with 18 year olds on a regular basis. I said something like 'the poor bloke, I don't know how he deals with it!' and housemate explained how actually it isn't nice at all because he isn't attracted to any of them because he's too old for them.

Seems he has a problem anyway. Weirdo. I'm not going to tell him her age.

[Offshore Toon]

How old are you?

[Spammer]

28.

The point isn't the age difference though. It's him being a passive-aggressive spanner. He spends his entire life on the internet and is a bit of a retard when it comes to talking people in the real world so I think he's probably just seething with rage about it. I really just want to get out of this house really. I might look at somewhere else in March when the contract is up. But the flat itself is fucking amazing, so I'm going to have to mull it over.

5 years difference isn't much to me anyway. There was nearly 6 with my last serious girlfriend and our age was never once an issue. I'm inclined to think it's not an issue to him either, he's just jealous because he spends his entire weekends playing on his PS4. Which in itself is fine, and I'd be inclined to help him and invite him out, but when he acts like an undermining wanker - which is often - it makes me not want to.

[Lewis]

He's probably just worried about her.

[Spammer]

:D

[Giggles]

5 years is fuck all really. Not once the younger party is in their 20's anyway.

[Raoul Duke]

He sounds like a nonce.

[Spikey M]

Yep. I remember Sir Jim'll telling Louis Theroux that he hated kids. Get his HardDrive to the police.

[Spammer]

We're going for a meal tonight to spend some of the surplus we've accrued on the flat. I'd rather go on my own, but hey ho. Hopefully it won't be too unbearable.

[Spammer]

Wasn't too bad actually. Male housemate was incredibly ingratiating to the point of discomfort (he oscillates between trying to undermine me and desperately trying to get me to like him), and female housemate was just a bit miserable as she usually is.

Male housemate isn't a bad guy really and I'd probably get on with him better if we didn't live together.

[Panda Bear]

The tenant above us got drunk, drew a bath, passed out, and kept drawing a bath for hours. Flooded her own unit, my unit, four units below me, and the board room at the bottom of the building.

I got to do this though: https://www.instagram.com/p/BN2smYfjpJv/

[7om]

What happens in a situation like that regarding repairs? Is it billed to the person at fault or what?

[Disco]

Insurance I would think.

[Panda Bear]

What happens in a situation like that regarding repairs? Is it billed to the person at fault or what?In this situation, no, since it is deemed an accident.

Since I rent a condominium from someone, here is the process:
1) The condominium corporation, which is run by a board of directors composed of condominium owners, has an insurance policy on the building. The policy will cover all damages to the building's structure and will pay to restore each unit to its original built condition.
2) The owner of my condominium has a betterment policy, which will cover damages to all upgrades in the unit to whatever specified dollar value.
3) My fiancee and I have tenants' insurance, which will cover all damages to our property up as well as cover living expenses while we are unable to live at the unit up to whatever specified dollar values.

The person who caused the accident will be personally responsible for all damages within her own unit if she does not have her own insurance policy.

However, if she has a prior history of drawing baths while drunk and flooding places, she may be able to be sued successfully to cover things like paying for insurance deductibles. I'm out $1000 to activate my insurance, for example.

[Raoul Duke]

Great timing :thbup:

[7om]

Are you going to sue her then? I'd be seething if I had to fork out $1000 because some silly cow left a bath running.

[Spikey M]

Heat rises. Set the gaff on fire.

Are you going to sue her then? I'd be seething if I had to fork out $1000 because some silly cow left a bath running.

If you Angle Slammed her through the rotting floors she would go through the entire building. :drool:

[Offshore Toon]

I've had to ask my flatmates not to go into my drawer and use my stuff because things aren't being put back. I've never had to ask that of housemates before. Its a bit shit because sharing is a much better way to live, but ultimately I don't use anybody else's stuff and I'm a knife and teaspoon down from my already limited cutlery set. Utter shambles. I thought the Chinese were supposed to be respectful? Maybe its just the Hong Kong lot.

[Giggles]

Why do you have separate cutlery? Is it a washing up thing?

[Offshore Toon]

Everybody just has a drawer that they keep their stuff in. Things work a bit differently in halls since we're not mates.

[Giggles]

I never shared with 'mates' either but we always had just one drawer of cutlery.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, I know that's how it normally works, but for whatever reason its not how things have been done in all three university-ran residences I've lived in. Maybe its because people arrive at different times and unload without first having a house meeting about what to do with the cutlery. I dunno.

[Disco]

Same here, never shared stuff in halls but did once I moved in with people I knew. Jesus, the first house we shared almost all our possessions, one guy even borrowed people's clothes to get him through to the end of term once. Depends who you're living with though, none of us were uptight (or sober) enough to care about which spoon someone used or whether we lived in a den of iniquity and filth.

[Offshore Toon]

Aye, the three places I've lived that weren't university-ran everything was pretty much shared. Well, not clothes.

[Spammer]

Things are going swimmingly with housemates etc at the mo :)

That's not very exciting though, so I'll not post in here about it until something megaserious kicks off again.

[Giggles]

Is the huffy bitch there still?

[Spammer]

Yeah she's calmed the fuck down and got a boyfriend, so she's freaking out less nowadays.

[Giggles]

All she needed was a good dose of the mickey.

[Spammer]

If he gets tired of her though it'll be back to square one.

[Offshore Toon]

I sent a message to the flat group chat today. It only has 4 out of 6 people on it, so nothing ever gets sorted 100%, but I basically brought up the fact the kitchen is a state even though the cleaner came yesterday. Everybody always agrees which is frustrating (because it has to be somebody), but we agreed some flat rules would help. Having to basically tell people 'don't piss on the toilet seat' doesn't half make you realise how scummy people are. I toyed with the idea of putting 'don't clap when you laugh' but the uni would probably do me in for racism.

[Giggles]

I zoned out at 'flat group chat' but that's probably the way it is these days.

[John]

Does whoever that is stand up to laugh?

[Offshore Toon]

I zoned out at 'flat group chat' but that's probably the way it is these days.
I did my best to include your interests and everything.

[Offshore Toon]

Does whoever that is stand up to laugh?
If everybody in China stood up at once there'd be an Earthquake.

[-james-]

My flatmate told me the other night when she was drunk that since she moved in she's been passive-aggressively moving cardboard and stuff that I put of the bin out of the bin and into the recycling pile. I guess I don't have it too bad.

[Lewis]

Other than having to find out from your housemate that you're a dickhead.

[Offshore Toon]

It was my week this week to do the bins, but I also took the recycling down on Friday because the non-Hong Kong Chinese girl that we never see obviously hasn't been in the kitchen and looked at the rota. Anyway, the Chinese had a little party on Saturday and filled up all the recycling with their shit. Now, maybe its just me, but if I so obviously created a huge bulk or rubbish from having friends round I'd tidy it up and take it down to the bins. Anyway, I've got quite a lot of cardboard in my room so I'm going to passive-aggressively load it on the Chinese since they're up the next three weeks. Might as well make a mess when three of my mates are staying next weekend too. I probably won't, though, 'cause I've learnt its better to just move on that tie yourself up in a battle that nobody realises they're in.

[Offshore Toon]

So last week it was one of the flatmaos' turn on the bin rota. Rubbish has been piled up since Thursday/Friday and now the (English) girl whose week it is this week has taken it all down.


-I throw it for at least once this week
-Last week

Right. I'm not sure if he thinks that you only have to take it down once if its your week or not? Again, the problem arises where you can't really resolve a situation because I don't think he understands what I'm saying when I say we all need to take responsibility for our week on the bin rota.

[Shindig]

If it's bothering you that much, do it yourself.

[Jimmy Floyd]

When I had a Chinese flatmate they did fuck all on the house admin front. I took it as good news as it meant I got to choose the toilet paper.

[Offshore Toon]

If it's bothering you that much, do it yourself.
What was it your old flatmate posted again?

[Spammer]

If he gets tired of her though it'll be back to square one.

He has, and she is.

[Offshore Toon]

Go transgender and knock her out.

[Spammer]

I'm looking to buy a house in the next couple of months. Then I can rent out the spare room and have a housemate who I can have a laugh with.

[Lewis]

In hindsight, our house all chucking in fifteen quid a month for a cleaner was the best money I spent in Norwich (the worst being whatever I spent meeting Randrew). I believe the landlord actually brought her in after three Chinese idiots trashed his kitchen as well.

[Offshore Toon]

A cleaner comes every Monday and clears up after them.

[Lewis]

If I had had to clean up after those African cunts I would probably have become a racist.

[Offshore Toon]

The problem with the international students isn't that they're foreign, its that they're all minted.

[Shindig]

The landlord came round to fix the crack in the front room. It's the kind of job I could've done myself. At least now I know it's cosmetic and the house won't crush me. Offered some tips on damp proofing, too. Because apparently, damp was destroying the paint around the window.

I like my blinds closed, damn it. :(

[Lewis]

The problem with the international students isn't that they're foreign, its that they're all minted.

There was one in Norwich who was rumoured to have his own Bentley and driver. If you have that much money you would be virtually above the law in China (provided you keep on the right side of the waxworks), so why spend four years blocking stairs in East Anglia? English university degrees can only be so desirable.

[Shindig]

It's probably just some formality they go through en route to some bullshit, high-paying, zero workload role in a family business.

[wullie]

Loads of the Chinese students here have got ridiculously huge BMWs and Mercedes so it takes them 15 mins to reverse into the compact parking spots with a 23-point maneuvre while a queue builds. Even in cars the instinct is there.

[Offshore Toon]

Living with the Chinese Ric Flair sounds like fun doesn't it? I don't know which one it is but they've screamed "WOOOO!" about 10 times in 5 minutes. I can't believe I'm about to write a message to the flat group asking 'what are you WOOing about? can you chill out?' Its a bit of a regular occurrence but he must be on a ridiculously good streak on Counter Strike or something.

I honestly don't know how you cope, 7om.

[Offshore Toon]

I can't tell if it's one or both of the twats across the corridor, but I've had to ask again for people to not shout in their room late at night. Are PC games really that exciting? I think this is the fourth time I've asked this year. It's ridiculous and I'm fucking seething to insane levels. I managed to keep the message polite, despite every draft in my head being racist.

To make matters worse, neither of these cunts have stuck to the bin rota the last couple of weeks so the recycling pile has gotten well out of hand.

And one of them has pissed all over the bathroom floor tonight.

I fucking hate Chinese people.

[Offshore Toon]

Had to knock on one of their doors as they hadn't seen the Facebook messages. "Sorry, sorry, sorry." He's not even pissed. This is gonna carry on until he fucks off ffs.

[summsuccess]

Youre playing a dangerous game Offshore Toon. You havent got any pets have you? :huhu:
Maybe ask 7om to write a letter for you in their lingo?

[Offshore Toon]

It's not actually a Chinese thing. They're just self-centred rich kids. However, I do think the language barrier hasn't helped with certain matters so tensions have been rising constantly.

[7om]

If you want me to knock up a letter telling them in no uncertain terms that you're a don not to be messed with, just let me know.

[Offshore Toon]

Appreciated. I am curious as to how 'don' would translate tbh.

[Lewis]

I will also provide a letter WRITTEN - WRIT-TEN - LIKE THIIIIIIS.

[SvN]

I lived with two Chinese people at Uni that was just absolutely rape the network. Constant torrents going that made any sort of online gaming impossible. I was a big CS nerd at the time so this made me seethe my tits off. I just used to change the Wireless password when I wanted to play and feigned ignorance when they complained that the internet was down.

"It's fine here, must be your weird Chinese laptops".

[Offshore Toon]

I used to do that to stop my sister streaming whilst I was playing Haxball.

[summsuccess]

I couldnt do it at all. I like my own space so sharing with anyone is something I avoid. I couldnt hack it when my one of my old partners wanted to move in and I actually looked for a way out thereafter. I dont mind foreigners living in the country but living under my roof is a different matter as our cultures would just clash on a daily basis. If I was in Offshore Toons position and it had been a regular thing then I would have snapped to the point they would understand the Queens English.

[Offshore Toon]

It's been pretty shit, but it'll teach me a lesson for being lazy in finding a place initially so it must have been the right decision overall.

[summsuccess]

Hahaha. Offshore Toon just made a funny and it was an actually lol funny.

[Mike]

My flatmate is moving out in the next '6-8 weeks'
He's been a mate for years and been fine to live with until he met his current gf who is an utter knob.
Can't wait for him to go so I can go back to being his mate and seeing him in the pub every so often.

[leedsrevolution]

Living with mates is a nightmare I've found.

[Mike]

It's been fine, he just rents my spare room, can't wait to get it back to myself, have my PC in there again instead of in the bedroom.
I only let him move in to pay for a bunch of stag dos and weddings last year. His last rent will pay for two stag dos this summer then I'm set.

[SvN]

I lived with my best mate for a year at uni, and it wasn't bad, but I much prefer not living with him. It revealed him to be a proper petty cunt - he'd do the washing up, but leave the spoon I used to make a cup of tea because it wasn't his.

[Offshore Toon]

Surely it depends on the mate? I know which of mine I'd never live with, but generally I'm fairly easy going and happy go make allowances for people I like. I've lived with three good mates and the only issues were during the bedding-in period, but they weren't anything serious.

[Jimmy Floyd]

What makes friends great is that you don't have to live with them all the time, so can just concentrate on the good side that you do see. Unless I had some sort of absolute blood brother I'd never want to live with a friend and risk ruining it.

[Mike]

I lived with my best mate for two years before I bought my flat and we had an absolute blast.

[Offshore Toon]

I lived with my best mate for two years before I bought my flat and we had an absolute blast.
In second year after one of my mates dropped out and went home, and the girl flatmate was barely home because of a new group of girlmates and boyfriend, me and my mate had the place to ourselves a lot of the time and it was brilliant. I consider him a best mate because of how well we got on and once he's done travelling we plan on living together again. Cute story, I know. Just goes to show its not all doom and gloom. As long as you set ground rules before heading in and you're all on a similar level, and not uptight wankers, it'll be sound nine times out of ten.

[Disco]

I lived in a house with 2-3 friends for ages. As great as it was I definitely reached a point where it became tiresome. Not necessarily because of the people, they're some of my best friends, but just because I got to the stage where I craved my own space. Maybe it's an age thing.

[Offshore Toon]

There's shit on the toilet seat again. I never want to see another Chinese person again. The alright one has moved out and another (chief suspect for shitting everywhere) was packing up yesterday, which leaves the prostitute and G**k Flair. To make matters worse, the cleaner comes on Mondays so we've been shafted by the bank holidays.

[Shindig]

Next door's up for grabs again. They've been no bother. That toilet seat needs sorting out. Sounds horrific.

[-james-]

How does shit even get on the toilet seat? Presumably they must be squatting with their feet on the seat so as to avoid coming into contact with gross white people bum germs.

[Lewis]

Sitting too far back?

[Mazuuurk]

How does shit even get on the toilet seat? Presumably they must be squatting with their feet on the seat so as to avoid coming into contact with gross white people bum germs.

Yeah it's this. I experienced this horrific phenomenon when living in a corridor dorm in France, and occasionally you also saw the dirt/shit imprints of shoe-soles on the loo seat.

They would also leave the kitchen in an absolute state each time, grease and oil everywhere. It was all quite baffling.

[Boydy]

Sitting too far back?

It must be this, at least sometimes. It seems to happen regularly in my work and there are no Asians around. So it must just be some fat white bloke with a massive arse who can't tell when his arsehole is pointing into the bowl.

[Offshore Toon]

I assume its from sitting too far back. Its not huge dollops of shit, but a few splatters. To think I was seriously considering going to China to teach English.

[CJay]

I assume its from sitting too far back. Its not huge dollops of shit, but a few splatters. To think I was seriously considering going to China to teach English.

Seem like there's something more important you could teach them.

[Spikey M]

Don't they squat over holes in the floor in China? They probably are standing on the seat. Filthy fuckers.

[Pepe]

That sounds quite complicated.

[Offshore Toon]

I haven't noticed any shoe marks on the toilet. Surely in Hong Kong they shit like British people? I can't imagine we went over there and let that continue. The prostitute and her client are mainland China so I reckon it might be them. Since they get by on cooking in her room I doubt their diet is up to much, so exploding shit onto the toilet seat is their only option.

[Lewis]

Why don't you - seriously - just lay one of them out?

[Offshore Toon]

I reckon the uni would kick me out and they'd probably turn it into a racial conflict. Its not worth it at this stage. The only one I've seen in about three weeks was the one moving out yesterday as well. They've gone ridiculously shy, even by Chinese standards.

[Lewis]

Oh right, you're in university accommodation. I thought all of this was going on in a private house somewhere, where you can do what you like. We used to get Palestinian Jeff to kick off at the African girls running their heaters all day and night at our expense, because how can you possibly accuse a Palestinian of racism?

[Offshore Toon]

If we didn't have a cleaner (most weeks) then I reckon I'd have moved out within a month. They're disgusting.

[Mellberg]

Just go mental. If they're self entitled posh kids, then the only way to bring them in line is through a regime of fear.

[Offshore Toon]

They're always incredibly apologetic in person, though, and I'm a soft twat. With messages to the group chat you have to be diplomatic because you don't know who it is for sure. I can't waltz in like "stop shit on the fucking toilet seat, 'Justin'." Especially when it could have been the noisy hooker, who isn't even in the group chat because nobody knows anything about her. We tried making contact by slipping a note under her door, but nothing. I reckon she had no idea what the note said. Maybe I should take a picture of the shitty toilet and put a huge red cross over it then print it off and slide it under the door.

[Mellberg]

Stop the passive aggresive shit, get them all together and go crackers. You don't like them anyway, so who gives a fuck?

[Offshore Toon]

There's about two weeks left. The toilet issue is helped by us having two toilets and them sticking to one of them for shitting everywhere (and leaving it, at least).

[7om]

Awful. I don't know how you haven't lost your temper.

[Offshore Toon]

Can you confirm if people from Hong Kong hover when they shit or not?

[7om]

People from Hong Kong I have no idea.

[Offshore Toon]

What about mainland?

[7om]

I know they squat with feet on the seat. I was even in a cubicle once where a geezer's feet were nearly touching mine. I was trying to work out what he was up to when I realised he was basically doing the splits over the bowl. Fucking freaks.

[Boydy]

Wait, what?

[7om]

Yeah, I don't know how I held in that lol. I almost burst when he finally left.

[Shindig]

I don't know what wives tale you live your life by to even consider doing that.

[Offshore Toon]

The splits I could probably manage, but feet on the seat takes some impressive balancing skills. I suppose weighing 7 stone helps.

[Mazuuurk]

Offy not really related to the shite, but where do you go to Uni, and what sort of accommodation do you have? Is this in a house or a corridor or what?

[Offshore Toon]

University of Sussex. Its a flat/halls on campus.

[Mike]

You need to lock yourself in the bathroom with them all and force them to watch you take a shit the normal way. It's the only way they'll learn.

[The Merse]

There's an office I sometimes have to go to in Southwark with a 'British toilet etiquette' poster giving tips to the Indian and Chinese IT guys with right vs wrong examples in pictorial form. Amongst those is the whole quitting/standing on the shitter, as well as not putting used toilet roll in sinks/bins and a host of others.

[ItalAussie]

I've only ever been incredibly lucky with housemates. Did the random lucky dip three times, and made three amazing lifelong friends.

[Mike]

My flatmate is moving out in the next '6-8 weeks'
He's been a mate for years and been fine to live with until he met his current gf who is an utter knob.
Can't wait for him to go so I can go back to being his mate and seeing him in the pub every so often.

He started moving out Friday and was all done by Saturday evening apart from some awful TV stand that I don't think he wants and left on the hope I would just keep it. He's coming picking it up later.

His room was a right mess, I've had to paint it and get a carpet cleaning thing in. Going to see how things go without renting my spare room out, I think I'll be fine, means less trips to the pub I guess but ah well. Can stick my PC back in there as it's currently in my bedroom like I'm still a kid.
Taking the chance while I'm off work to basically clean the whole flat, got the bathroom done yesterday along with the spareroom and made a start on the livingroom.

[Foe]

Having a genuine spare room is bliss Mike. If you can find a way financially it's so good. No more washing in the hall, less clutter and place for mates to crash if they need to.

[Mike]

Just finished putting together a single bed for in there and moved my PC and desk in. My bedroom looks miles bigger already! :D

[Baz]

No point going round now that Ryan's left. :thbdn:

[Offshore Toon]

I've just been to view a room/house. Its the first place I've seen and I've got two weeks till I'm out of my current place. The bloke I met needs a decision by tomorrow morning, but part of me is thinking its daft to take the first choice. Obviously it was stupid to leave it this late but I needed to have work sorted. I only met one bloke (out of four) but he seemed alright. Its cheap, quite big but no frills, decent area. I can't see myself having the time of my life there, but its probably a good base to build from. I also haven't heard back from anybody else about a viewing despite messaging about ten to twelve people. There are a few people vying for the last room, but he very much encouraged me to say yes. I think I just needed to type everything out. I need to make some new mates down here, so living with four guys around my age should be a good thing. Yeah, I'll say yes.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm in. 12 months. About the same amount of time I intend to stay in this job so hopefully I can afford a decent upgrade afterwards.

[Raoul Duke]

Any Chinese?

[Spammer]

Got a couple of lodgers moving into my gaff in a couple of weeks. Both are middle aged women. Less drama than people my age, I reckon. And the house will be tidy.

[Giggles]

Buying your own house and then having to live with people :sick:

Why didn't you just get something you could afford?

[Offshore Toon]

No Chinese, thankfully.

You reckon you'll shag either of them, Hammer?

[Spikey M]

"Why does that painting have no eyes?"

[Offshore Toon]

Hammer's too respectful for that. He'll just straight up ask if they wouldn't mind jamming a rolling pin up his arse.

[Spammer]

Well we're not all misanthropes like you. I can afford it but i have empty bedrooms and i enjoy living with people, so long as they're decent and these both seem to be. I also have to pay £0 towards the mortgage or bills once they've moved in.

Well if it suits then happy days all round.

I move into my dorm room in a week. Not going to meet my roommate till I move in, which should be interesting.

Surely any middle aged woman having to rent a room in a house share is going to be mental in some way. Divorced. Spinster. Just really, really irritating. I would sooner live with Chinese people.

[Offshore Toon]

Does everybody in American colleges share a room? My mate did it in first year and was coupled with a Japanese bloke. He got on with him but said it was too weird so got his own room.

[igor_balis]

Sharing a room at uni being standard in America seems so strange to me. I get edgy about having to share a hostel dorm with my mates on holiday and not being able to wank, let alone doing it with a stranger for a whole year.

[igor_balis]

I never had a wet dream as a teenager, because I discovered what wanking was before my hormones caught up, but I had my first ever one on holiday in Budapest aged 22. I'd gone 4 days without a wank, which must be a record in my life since my first, excluding intermittent spells of having actual sex with women, and woke up in a sticky mess a 5 in the morning after a particularly vivid dream.

[Spoonsky]

Sharing a room at uni being standard in America seems so strange to me. I get edgy about having to share a hostel dorm with my mates on holiday and not being able to wank, let alone doing it with a stranger for a whole year.

I find it a bit strange too to be honest, though I don't have the same phobia of sleeping in the same room as someone. There are lots of single rooms though, this was a compromise I made in order to get into the best building.

[Boydy]

Anyone who shared a room with me would have a fucking terrible time because I snore like a motherfucker.

So then one of the two suggests someone else they know, said they were sound etc. Okay.

No.

It's a she. Although she is studying 'business'.

Oh no, not a normal person.

I've noticed Boydy throwing that one around a bit lately, notably when talking about people who don't like that 'ParliaWint' shit he and Phonics love. It's embarrassing.

[Boydy]

Oh no, the normies are upset.

[Giggles]

A non hipster? At this stage wouldn't the normies be the new hipsters?

[Lewis]

The lower definitions are better. It's not normal people as such, but (as I understand it) a particular sort of identikit saddo. The type of people who think 'cockwomble' and 'spunktrumpet' are funny, and doubly so when tweeted at Boris Johnson.

[Boydy]

Not necessarily the opposite of a hipster. Look at the other definitions. Just someone who's a bit bland and dull, really. They probably like Ed Sheeran.

[Giggles]

Yeah those type of people need to be avoided.

Ed sheeran is brilliant you swines.

See what I mean?

You'd hate living with me. I
never buy avocado.

I'd murder you in your sleep after having been made to watch some shit Disney film for the sixth evening in a row.

[Giggles]

Avocado > Ed Sheeran.

[John]

If ever there was a statement which didn't need a qualifier, it's Foe saying 'You'd hate living with me.'

You'd kill him the first evening when he tried to put Nickelodeon on and somehow changed every TV in the house.

[Foe]

Nah, generally only sport or Netflix on my TVs.

[Offshore Toon]

From what I've seen in 4chan screenshots a 'normie' is somebody that does normal things like have friends, chat to girls and leave the house, so Boydy comes across as a proper loser when he uses it.

[Cheddar]

I'm a uncultured swine who hasn't tried avocado, am I missing anything?

Avocado is nice, but unless you're interested in the health benefits it isn't worth paying for.

[John]

I'll pay the extra sixty pence to get guacamole in a burrito, but I wouldn't bother buying them. They taste nice enough, but they cost a bomb for what you're getting and they last about fifteen seconds before going off once you've cut into one.

It's like a full-on autist term.

Seems it's a term like 'hipster' etc and people use that all the time, so it's probably not that big a deal.

It really isn't a term like hipster.

It's what basement dwelling neckbeards call people who don't have autism.

Ooh I've never been a type, I may well be a normie! Awesome!

One of the alternative meanings on Boyd's link says it refers to people who aren't mentally ill.
