Worst housemates ever?

Yet it didn't cross your mind that his Schizophrenia and peculiar behaviour weren't linked? The man obviously had a disorder, it's nothing that you should be sharing with the World. Show a bit of consideration.

Firstly thanks for missing the point completely, where did I share specific details of his life? I did not mention what condition(s) he had nor would I be able to, only what medication he wasn't taking. Your "expert prognosis" from my experience is schizophrenia, which you revealed not me.


Secondly, I shouldn't feel threatened in my own house which upon finding out he wasn't taking his meds I did. Would you like to live in a house with someone who you had suspicions regarding their mental health/state and have them vividly confirmed? And if that person was difficult to deal with regarding paying a simple gas bill, how would bringing up for example, the delicate issue of him not taking his medication go down?


Thirdly; as for him not taking his risperidone which is used for a multitude of conditions not just schizoprenia and sharing my experience of a "bad" housemate, you're right I can see how I am a bad b@stard. If you wish to chastise me further please do so via my ignore list.

_Faithless_

When I was running from the law and hiding out in Vegas, I moved in with some people, to save on rent but I ended up losing my sanity.


I think it was the aroma of the place I remember best. The dishes, which never got done unless I did them, were covered in fruit flies and dried food. When the other female roommate did break down and do them, she refused to wash the bottom of the plates, saying, “Food doesn’t touch there.” I know, I didn’t get it then either and I still don’t get it now.


The best part though was that she had two cats that crapped everywhere. One couch was literally drenched in urine. They went through countless bottles of Febreeze, which to the product’s credit, cannot possibly counter the smell of hell and death combined. It was nauseating. The space under the kitchen table was also a favored spot for the cats to relieve themselves. Puddles of urine would dry and stain the floor dark yellow.


One night, I returned from an exhausting 12-hour work shift (prostituting myself) to the three of them smoking pot, playing video games, and hanging out in urine, oblivious to the scent. At that moment, I saw them sitting in cat piss. I silently packed my things and left the apartment.

This isn't the worst one of the bunch but it's had me absolutely fuming lately and I need a bit of a rant, so fúck it.

I live in a small one-bedroom flat with a good mate of mine. I get the bedroom and he sleeps on the couch in the livingroom; this is his choice, he slept in there even when the bedroom was free, he likes being near the computers and the kitchen. Anyway, a good friend of his got stuck for a place because the guy she was living with before tried it on with her when she very clearly let him know it wasn't on, you get the idea. So of course my housemate said that if she was really stuck for a place, she could come stay with us.

I was grand with this; the bed's a double and I don't mind sharing, especially if it means getting someone out of a really dodgy situation like this girl was in. I have a weird sleep schedule anyway (as evidenced by the time in which I'm posting) and she had college, so basically I'd go to bed during the day and she'd have the bed at night.

Worked fine like that for a bit. She's in college in Dublin, an hour away from here (Mullingar) and doesn't drive, had to commute every morning. She needed 51 euro a week for the bus, was getting the runaround in regards to getting a grant and had no money at all. So my housemate, who's on the dole as it is, gave her the money every week to get the bus, leaving absolutely no money to afford food after rent and ESB were paid off.

So, he gives her the money one week. She turns around and goes drinking with it. Then asks him for the money back that she drank, knowing full well our very delicate financial situation.

Found out later that not only was she getting the money for the bus from my housemate, but also from another friend-- so she was getting 102 euro a week, and not telling either party that she was getting money from the other person. Also turned out that the week return for the bus was only 37.50. God only knows what she did with the cash. Drinking, I'd assume.

So, she finally gets her grant. 1500 euro for the first installment. Buys herself a bunch of new clothes, a little bit of food for herself, drinks the rest. Gives NOTHING to my housemate for compensation for rent, food, ESB, etc.

She's a hard girl to live with, was constantly grating on our nerves. Would sleep here once in a blue moon, would sleep other places other nights, but she'd still come in for 10-15 minutes a day to collect clothes and have a shower here, using our immersion for the shower. Saw her once in awhile outside of that. Now this girl has LOADS of stuff. ALL of her stuff was in our 2-room flat (kitchen/livingroom, one bedroom, one small bathroom). You could barely move down the hallway for her stuff, had to squeeze against the wall. There was no walking room in the bedroom for her stuff. No walking in the kitchen/livingroom for her stuff. It was everywhere, and I'm honestly not exaggerating. And she just left it there while she fúcked off and had herself a bit of craic leaving us with nothing.

So her and my housemate had a falling out over something that really didn't have anything to do with the issues I've addressed so far. Disappears for 2 weeks. Sends a mutual friend to collect clothes and stuff for her from our gaff.

Came in the other day, pleased as punch, she apparently found a place-- and is paying two months' rent for it ahead. Where she got the money, we have no idea. We haven't seen a single penny of it. Think she said a word of thanks? Nope. Just raved about how amazing her new flat was and how delighted she was, etc. Wearing all new clothes and makeup. Obviously well taken care of.

Had the balls to ask my housemate for tobacco, even though I saw she had a full unopened pack of fags in her bag.

Just completely taking the piss. I'm completely furious at her for how she's treated my housemate after he took her in when absolutely no one else would (seriously, no one would take her in, even her best friends, now we know why), gave her the money to get to college, gave her money to go drinking when he was sat at home not able to go out because he was skint. She completely used him. Totally took advantage, and it's awful, because he's one of the sweetest, most kind people you would ever meet in your whole life, and completely didn't deserve any of it.

He still hasn't seen a penny from her. She finally said thanks, briefly, while she was moving all her crap out of our flat. Acting all super happy and nice even though she knew full well we weren't happy with her, my housemate especially.

Ugh. Boils my blood. I don't get a lot of income but the second I get a cent it goes straight to my housemate and straight to food, I never, ever get to go out-- I've been out maybe 3 times in the last few months and that was with a seriously good mate of mine who I needed to have a catch-up with, and I couldn't spend anything while I was out. I always make sure my housemate knows how appreciative I am for everything he's done for me, which is an awful lot, to see her completely take advantage of him like this... sickening.

Why are people so goddamn cruel? Why is it always the nice people who get completely screwed over? And she's been talking shíte about him to their mutual friends who are now acting really cold with him, even though he's done absolutely nothing wrong!

Fúcking bint.

Oh yeah, and New Years night she comes back with some guy she's seeing. I was sick all night and was in my bed with my boyfriend at the time who was looking after me. She asks for the lend of the room for the hour with her man, I could barely even move! But I let them have it anyway. They left fúcking massage oil handprints all over my walls as evidence of their "activities" that I have to fúcking look at every day. Which is petty to get pissed off about but it was just too much.

Worst was one who stole money out of my bag, got himself evicted for not paying rent, had screaming matches with landlady on the phone as she was telling him he had to go.. He left, and we then found a letter he'd left behind saying he was wanted because he'd broken his parole. And then people called 'round to the house looking for him because he owed them money.

Fun times.

His name for the purpose of this post will be "Barry"

"Barry" was quite possibly the most annoying housemate I have ever had. Barry was making big money working IT and thought his **** smelt of roses. You could tell the guy was seriously bullied in school and had an agenda against the world. He was a nerdy, slight type but made up for this harmless looking appearance with his smug, condescending attitude.
Barry would regularly insult my other room mate who was recently unemployed with comments such as "Can you be more quiet when your going to bed, some of us actually work in the morning" and joking about my room mate probably "couldn't even afford the plastic bag in aldi let alone shop there"
He regularly ended arguments with comments such as "I wouldn't expect you to grasp that concept" etc.

When we had a house party he called a friend a "blubbering idiot, who had taken too many hits to the head from rugby" This same friend happened to be a professional rugby player who has a degree in biochemistry (luckily for us, he simply ignored Barry excusing his behaviour on the fact that Barry probably had too much to drink)
That same night Barry made a friend of mine cry by repeatedly slagging her tattoo.
Barry was indeed drunk that night and soon went off to bed and passed out leaving me, my room mate and of course his girlfriend. His girlfriend was from Moldova and an absolute stunner (we had previously joked that he probably got her as a mail order bride) She was actually sober as well.
To cut a long story short, me, my roomate and Barry's girlfriend had a menage a trois in my room whilst Barry lay passed out in the room beside mine. We literally did every imaginable thing to her. As a final insult my roommate, who had been laughed at by Barry for being unemployed, decided to bang Barry's girlfriend on the kitchen table around 20minutes before Barry was due to have breakfast before going to work.

Why did you give her the bed? In fairness you were a bit silly to get out of bed and let her to it. You should have firmly told her to **** off and while she's at it to pay up the money she owes. I can never understand why people are allowed to get away stuff like this, I'd never put up with it.

Are you taking the pish? Haha. Did you stand next to the bed serving refreshments and did they wipe themselves on you when they were finished?

In fairness I let her in because I was too damn sick to deal with the ensuing argument that would surely follow-- she's incredibly aggressive and it was just easier to move to the other room.

As for the rest, nice to know we're getting shíte for trying to help someone out. Yeah, she may have walked all over us, but my conscience settles better knowing that we at least tried to help someone out who we thought had no choice. It wasn't our fault she took advantage-- it was hers.

El Siglo

I stayed in a house in Maynooth for the summer. Basic enough no frills experience. Sharing with another chap, not so bad he seemed sound enough. How wrong was eye. Now whether he was on drugs (defo) but I think he was dealing as well. Anyway, it go to the point where I lived in my room, ate in my room because he had the biggest knackers over. One week, three nights were spent as follows:

1) He's got his mates over, not so quite and not so sober playing pes till half 2, I had work at 9 in the morning, wasn't too thrilled.
2) Has his girlfriend over, spends the night riding her, fucking bint moaning till about half three or four in the in morning.
3) He trips balls on some of his stash, spent the night screaming then singing, then laughing, then screaming in his room. This went on till about six in the morning.

After this, I left the gaff. I didn't feel like getting shanked by one of his competitors or an unruly customer.

The whole 'getting one up on the dick head' is for Hollywood not boards or reality in general. I'm sure "Barry" was a right cunt, but the menage a trois... nah, sorry.

So you used it incorrectly.

Think most of my awful housemates use boards.

One did come home really drunk, got sick in a bucket (It's just dawned on me that that was the only house I've lived in that had a bucket) and left it outside my door.

Lived with some dickheads in my time,

1st year college - the usual passiveagressivenotes.com approach, nice as pie in the hallway though:rolleyes:

2nd year college summer - had epithets scrawled over posters in my room (in crayon - gives a good picture of their mental age), ended up in complete silence for the last two weeks, moved out and am well shot of them!:D

This year, this week even, one of my house-mates leaves a plate of pasta, sundried tomato and mince to mould beside the sink, and f**ks off home, 170 miles away, for the week.

another housemates takes photos and tags them under her name on Facebook:D

I shared an apartment with this loon who had catholic religious iconography everywhere and prayed to zod about 5 times daily. he even looked the part. I am a big lad but going to bed I would lock my room and put a chair up against the handle. I lasted a week and I left before he start bringing some vics home.

New girl moved in a few weeks ago and we share the upstairs bathroom, ...however I frequently walk in to find she's washed herself in the sink and has soaked the toilet/floor/wall/mirror and on once: the floor outside the bathroom. The bathroom is quite big too, no idea how she does it!! It happens at least once a day, it's driving everyone upstairs mad. We say it to her and she's like 'oh it'll never happen again etc'.

She also uses everyone's pans and burns the arse out of them, which first means going through people's individual cupboards. And she'll cook some disgusting concotion and leave it on the hob in a saucepan for a few days, and keep eating out of it, despite this week's sauce being fermented! Dying to get rid of her :mad:

Girl before her kept some rabbit in the fridge...except it was still furry, dirty and bloody from being shot and dripped blood all over everyone else's food.

Once shared a room with a right nutcase. (student accom with doors usually left open)One evening the lads next door call in and ask to borrow some sugar. I thought nothing of it and told them to work away. About an hour later roommate returns home and notices his sugar is missing. "Where is my sugar" he said. I told him the lads next door borrowed it, "fcuking cnuts" he says and proceeds to take out big fcuker kitchen knife and proceed next door, 10 seconds later screams ring out so I run nextdoor to find the three lads huddled in the corner brickin it and yer man stabbing the fcuk out of the the kitchen presses then proceeds to rip up the sofa all the time the lads brickin it in the corner. He then finished ripping the fcuk out of the sofa and cool as you like turns around and tells them "thats my fcukin sugar", "cnuts" and waltzed back to our kitchen to cook!

Nothing about asking him to leave - but assuming your story is true, then he terrorised people and vandalised other peoples' property, so the obvious thing to do in that case is to call the Gardaí. It's fine for you, you were able to leave...what about the next person he lived with? What's to say something worse wouldn't happen them?

Used to live with this guy who was very annoying and sarcastic, always used to tell these stupid jokes. He worked for some computer company and had a really annoying girlfriend with a super annoying laugh. He was a big fan of Baywatch and he even insisted that we get a pet duck. But he ended up moving to the apartment across from us with his girlfriend, they got married, and they eventually moved to a house.

I didnt really feel it necessary to invole anyone else as the my roommate and two of the lads next door new eachother from secondary school. Whether they were classmates or not I dont know. If the lads didnt contact the Gardai or the building security well thats their business. I still had to share a room with this chap until I could leave a couple of weeks later so contacting the Gardai wasnt exactly top of my to do list.

I just want to come to the defense of some of the 'creeps' in these situations. remember there are two sides to every story.

I consider myself a very easy going guy and have got on with every housemate I ever lived in bar one.

I usually like the company of other guys or country/ horseriding/ lesbionic tomboy girls so I found it weird to be living with a very girly, convent school urban blonde arts student in my 3rd year of university.

I never had much to say to her because I knew nothing about One Tree Hill, and she knew nothing about sports or art or whatever interested me.

Anyway we got on but didn't 'gel', but we both knew it and it made everything awkward. I guess she thought it was worse than I did because I came home early from college and was lying on the sofa one day when she thought I was out, and I heard her next door telling some girlfriend all sorts of weird stuff about me she had totally blown out of proportion.

For example, I was in veterinary training, and had diagrams & various bits of fake specimens lying around my room, maybe common areas I cant remember - she told her mate I collected animal parts.
I have a habit of talking to myself - she started ranting about how she thought I was schizophrenic and going on about various things I hadn't even told her personally about my family.
She didn;t like my girlfriend of the time, (really nice girl but kinda shy around my flatmates), and said she was waiting for the day we turned psycho on her and how my gf was always staring at her- really untruthful stuff.

I was really hurt about how she had blown that stuff out of proportion and twisted it. To make matters worse, a few weeks before the end of the term, I got locked out of the house one night after being out with mates. I saw the living room window open and climbed in - but of course as it would happen this girl hears it,comes downstairs and when she sees me using the window, goes psycho at me and won't calm down. We havent spoken since, but I had to listen to an earful from one of her female friends the next day about "trying to scare _________ with the lights off". She also had her brother stay over the next night which made me feel worse but was totally uncalled for. Crazy stuff.

Like I said I have my moments, I do talk to myself and I do prefer my toast burned but for goodness sake, it has to be said there are some very dull, overly sensitive housemates - often girls - out there who find it all to easy to get freaked out by not very much at all, and may have a tendancy to elaborate creatively. Ugh, sorry rant over...

That's funny about the climbing in the window.

A lad would probably laugh hysterically at that, but then again you can see how might be worried, being home alone etc.

I find that girls are very judgemental when it comes to living with lads, maybe they are jealous that we can pee standing up.

I think they are just more uptight, well some of them, I'm certainly not tar/brush etc.

Once lived with someone (who I didnt know at all at first) who on the first day of meeting them decided a full get to know you conversation was appropriate with him on the jacks(sitting) with the door wide open.

Kind of got used to it...used to come home from work and there he'd be,door wide open!Said he felt a bit out of the loop if we'd be talking and hed have to go..weird..nice guy though.

I was looking forward to moving into a shared apartment when I move to the UK this September but after reading this thread, I am terrified. I bloody hope I don't get coke fiend party animals for room mates. ****.

i lived with an awful goon at the start of the college year, seemed fine at first but then i think working night shift all the time got the better of his brain. he was soooooo unsocialible, used to come at 3 in the morning from work when everyone was asleep, start banging doors, washing any of our dishes that we left there...badly might i say. as in ya pick up a cup and it slips out of your hand from the grease.

he neglected to tell myself and other housemates (who are mates of mine and we moved in same time) that the house was previously broken into, he also had alot of stuff belonging to previous tenant who had been in trouble with the gardai. many shady looking hoo-ers used to come around looking into our windows and doors. used to take stuff from my press and another housemates as well without asking EVER or saying he had taken something.
he had a major problem with me which only happened after he found out what age i was. (im only 20!)

to top it off, the day before myself and two other housemates moved out. he decided to come home at 5 o clock with a bunch of people he didnt even know to have a "house party". he neglected to tell these people that he had housemates upstairs asleep. so being quite drunk they decided to make as much noise as humanily possible. doors slamming, loud music, shouting, ringing our doorbell, trying to open our bedroom doors (lucky they were locked!!) then hearing these people planning on robbing stuff from his room and downstairs.

my other housemate confronted him (i should mention shes as quiet as a mouse) he got right in her face and started to shout abuse in her face. then sometime later he done the same to me. when he finally went to bed he left these randomers alone downstairs in the house. who then tried their luck with myself and my housemate once we went downstairs. they stayed in the house until we could finally get them to leave, this was around half 9. the house was in an awful state, beers soaked into the carpets, bottles everywhere, smell of smoke everywhere, lights left on, heat left on all night, doors left wide open, p!ss all over both toilet seats, one of them broke the toilet seat, my housemates underwear which she had just washed and was on a clotheshorse had gone missing! perverts... :eek:

next day since we were up all night, we moved out very early that next morning. no apology or nothing. we spoke to the landlord, and told him about that night. sadly enough we moved to a different house in the same estate and have to see this goons face now and then :mad::mad::mad:

Wow , you have never had a houseparty so :P
