He's moving out this Thursday, so happye days

Yay! I've been meaning two ask if he ever put away those dishes.

Reading this thread is making me realise my housemate isn't actually that bad. Thanks!

My current housemate does some tiny little annoying things,like leaving his stuff all over the kitchen table every single day since he moved in,despite me moving them out of the way every single day. I don't mind stuff being on the table but there's no need to have it all over the entire table!

My boyfriend doesn't live with me. I asked him to pull out the plug of the tv and he did.
The next morning I awoke to find the plug on the floor...
It is always meant to be left hanging off the side of the basket, not like he's know but he broke one of the unspoken rules.

I also have a sponge for glasses and cleaner plates and one for grease and certain places where the loo roll can be kept :L

i hate the way my missus puts the milk in after the hot water when she makes me coffee:(

Balmed Out

Hoarding.
She just doesnt throw out anything that could remotely be considered a souvenier or to have some bs nostalgia or sentimental value. Oh and she hoards things that "might come in use" too, this would include thrash that in several years time might somehow be usefull for an art project (shes a teacher).

Living together 4 years now and its becoming a real problem.

Housemates bang doors constantly. Very annoying. Close it gently FFS. :mad:

Well make it a spoken rule and he might leave it hanging off the basket thingy

Wee bit of OCD creeping in here methinks........

Battered Mars Bar

Lived with a girl once that liked to keep more than one loaf of bread in the freezer, a tiny freezer. Leaving no room for my meat :mad:

naughtysmurf

Mrs naughtysmurf is well able to open a bottle of bleach but is totally incapable of re screwing the top back on properly, this applies to all bottles of chemicals, foodstuffs etc

She is also able to turn lights on but seemingly OFF is beyond her capabilities

She can use the last ply of toilet roll and NOT replace it with one from the pyramid of new rolls at her feet

I may move this post to the personal issues forum

Was she good looking? If so, put your meat somewhere else.

The other thing that annoys me is when she tidies up. She goes by that theory "out of sight, out of mind". Basically it means she doesn't care were she tidies stuff. Jackets in drawers, letters in behind the microwave, shoes in the bathroom press. Takes me ages to find anything. I mean, when I put my coat on the back of the chair i know where it is. It's fine right there. It doesn't need to be tidied.

Omg, this X100000000000000!

Just thought of another one - leaving the light on in the bathroom at night so the fan is going off until I get up to switch it off.

Back in college I had a housemate who made pasta tuna for dinner almost everyday. She ate it straight from the pot but NEVER finished it. ANd the half full pasta tuna pot stayed in the sitting room until I or the third girl moved it which we just refused to do because it happened all the time!

You'd walk into the house and the stench of 2 day old past tuna would knock ya out!

Is that a horrible way of describing yer sexual practices?

Apparently socks can't be left on the floor beside the clothes basket.

They have to go into the actual basket.

Nagging bitch.

Argh

My flatmate moves out this week.

I just told him that we will need to sort out the electricity bill before he goes - it comes every 2 months. The last one we got was Feb 13, so we are actually definitely due one. I said to just pay the same as last time as it is always around the same amount, give or take €5 euro.

He went quiet and then replied 'it hasnt been 2 months has it?'

I told him to look at the old bill on the table. Yes it has, tight arse, it has been OVER 2 months.

As if I would rip him off. :mad: I seriously cannot wait till he moves.

fatfacee

mine has a bladder problem. Enough said.

Actually, I will make him pay for the extra 2 weeks. I wasnt going to bother, but I will now

have you got someone to replace him yet?

yes, I was lucky. I got someone within a week of advertising. I seriously can't wait for this guy to go. He is minted as he never goes anywhere or spends anything and to uestion the bill really irritated me.

I would never rip anyone off. I have left the last bill out for him so he can see it for himself he owes almost 10 weeks.

He can pay for the extra days. I wouldn't have even thought of doing that, but this has really riled me. I have never been accused of trying to rip someone off in my life!!!

is it possible he just meant it in a 'oh wow can't believe it's been that long' kinda way? though I'm sure you know yourself!

have you set down any ground rules for the newb?

I have lived with a few lunatics.. one guy never bought toilet paper so we all just bought our own and brought it to the bathroom with us when we needed..
I came home from college one day.. went to the bathroom to find a huge crap and a newspaper stuffed into the toilet.. the lazy fker just wouldn't buy toilet paper...

A girl I lived with another time bought a steak and left it in the fridge without a plate so the blood dripped onto everything on the shelves below It ugh...

Mr Keek

The girlfriend has to have the volume of the TV or stereo at an even number; if the Volume is at the perfect level, if it's odd number it has to be changed. Absolutley wrecks my head, I drive her demented when I change the volume to an odd number.

She'll boil water from cold on the hob; boil it in the kettle first, it's not that hard and so much faster!

When she's off to bed, it take her half the night to "Get Comfy" FFS

Something I do; I like strong tea, so I use a table spoon instead of a tea spoon, you get a better squeeze!!! It wrecks her head though!

My cousin stays with me 2 days a week when she comes up to town for her job. She always puts her duvet cover, sheets and pillow cases in the wash when she leaves, even though she has only slept on them for 2 nights. She is a bit of a germaphobe and cleanliness freak. I knew that before she moved in, so I try to cut her some slack. But the duvet cover in particular is very heavy. I don't have a tumble dryer, so this shagger has to dry on the clothes horse, that has to stay in the living room as there is no room for it in the bedrooms. It can take 2 days for it to dry.

Drives me fcuking nuts that I have to be tripping over the damm thing every bloody week when the damm thing only gets slept on for two nights at a time. I've tried doing loads of laundry when she is here, with heavy things like jeans and towels drying on the clothes horse in the middle of the living room floor, so she can see how inconvenient it is. But so far, she is refusing to get the hint.

Wash it a day before she arrives every week. When it is still damp she will get the hint to wash it at home.

Or actually try communicating. With words.

I stay with my cousin 2 days a week when I am working. He always has lots of clothes hanging on clothes horses drying when I need to wash my duvet cover and sheets due to my incontinence. It really gets on my tits!

ProudDUB

Ha ! To be honest, that really did occur to me. But no, sadly for me her bladder and colon are in perfect working order. I shake out sheets and duvet covers out before I put them into the washing machine, to make sure that no stray red sock will eff up a load of whites. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her sheets & duvet cover, other than their owner being an uptight germaphobe. :rolleyes:

Am not gonna rock the boat too much. Her company pays 2/3 of my rent, even though she is only living here 2 days a week. Best to just to put up and shut up, and save my rantings for the aul interweb. God bless it !

why not buy/ask her to buy a duvet cover that isn't so god damned heavy instead?

My girlfriend told me that there's a special place in hell reserved for people who don't refill the kettle, it was aimed at me, I'm the annoying partner.

My brother did a similar thing, he would put empty packets of biscuits back in the press. I'd be all psyched-up for a Jaffa Cake and then BAM! nothing but cardboard and disappointment.

stupidusername

There has to be something wrong with the brain of a person who leaves an empty box or carton in a press or fridge.

Nia111

leaves the lights on and all the curtains open at night. drives me mad!!!

ditzyfitzy

- Constantly leaves lights / appliances on all around the house
- Leaves empty loo rolls on the toilet cistern
- Throws his clothes in every room in the house!
- Never washes up or tidies
- Now this one I don't even understand, he leaves the shower head lying in the bath
- Never locks the front door when he goes out!


Phew! Rant over!

(He's a fellow boardsie, hopefully he gets the hint!)
