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.

Heat rises. Set the gaff on fire.

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.
Why do you have separate cutlery? Is it a washing up thing?
Everybody just has a drawer that they keep their stuff in. Things work a bit differently in halls since we're not mates.
I never shared with 'mates' either but we always had just one drawer of cutlery.
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.
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.
Aye, the three places I've lived that weren't university-ran everything was pretty much shared. Well, not clothes.
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.
Is the huffy bitch there still?
Yeah she's calmed the fuck down and got a boyfriend, so she's freaking out less nowadays.
All she needed was a good dose of the mickey.
If he gets tired of her though it'll be back to square one.
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.
I zoned out at 'flat group chat' but that's probably the way it is these days.
Does whoever that is stand up to laugh?
I did my best to include your interests and everything.
If everybody in China stood up at once there'd be an Earthquake.
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.
Other than having to find out from your housemate that you're a dickhead.
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.
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.
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.-I throw it for at least once this week
-Last week
If it's bothering you that much, do it yourself.
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.
What was it your old flatmate posted again?
He has, and she is.
Go transgender and knock her out.
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.
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.
A cleaner comes every Monday and clears up after them.
If I had had to clean up after those African cunts I would probably have become a racist.
The problem with the international students isn't that they're foreign, its that they're all minted.
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.
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.
It's probably just some formality they go through en route to some bullshit, high-paying, zero workload role in a family business.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Youre playing a dangerous game Offshore Toon. You havent got any pets have you?
Maybe ask 7om to write a letter for you in their lingo?
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.
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.
Appreciated. I am curious as to how 'don' would translate tbh.
I will also provide a letter WRITTEN - WRIT-TEN - LIKE THIIIIIIS.
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".
I used to do that to stop my sister streaming whilst I was playing Haxball.
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.
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.
