Weirdest thing your housemate has done?

ash777

We got a new housemate a few weeks ago. Suffice to say, given the title of the thread, he's fairly weird. I can't type out all the sh*te he's pulled over the past few weeks, because I don't know if he goes on Boards.

But, I've just come from the bathroom to find the bathroom seat up (annoying, but not that annoying), and, when I put it down, there were drops of liquid (either water or pee) all over the seat. That didn't get there from peeing with the seat up, and hitting the seat - they were far too central on the seat. I don't know if that's understandable. But, probably took some effort? It wouldn't surprise me at all at this stage if he urinated on the seat, then put the seat up, just to leave a disgusting, urine 'surprise' for the next person to go to use the loo.

Ugh.

He's the most disgusting creature.

Once had a roommate who cleared out the house of pcs, laptops, tvs, vcrs and any other technology they could find, and made it look like a burglary.

No difference between that and letting the dishes drip dry

Lived with same fellows for a couple of years. All we did was drank and went out and played cards. I'd say there were nights when none of us hit the toilet bowl, let alone the seat.

Hello, weirdo housemate. :rolleyes:

monkeysnapper

I used to have a house mate who would lock door at night and leave his keys in door on inside no matter how many times you would ask him not to.

I asked him a few times could I borrow back door key so I could get it cut to which he said he didn't have one, so I found it on his bunch ,took it off, got it cut and put back without him knowing.

Comes the usual weekend door lock out, ringing bell and knocking to the usual no answer, so I came in back door to which he questions me how I got in .

Not so much weird but a pr1ck . I never did anything to him either, my other house mate used to put Emerson on with a huge sheet of paper over switch saying "Do not turn off" as she needed shower to go to work . .... Yep u guessed it , he would turn off .

Stealing a dog. Keeping old takeaway containers under her bed for weeks. Lying about my friend to a guy she'd just started seeing and saying she had a serious boyfriend because she wanted the guy to go out with her friend instead.

Taking a series of pictures of herself and showing them to me to prove that Barack Obama was possessing her.

Walking around the house at 9am banging a bodhran and screaming "where's my picture!" when two other housemates drunkenly hid a horrible picture she had in the sitting room. Bad prank, worse reaction.

Telling me to stop feeding her cats because she was getting jealous.

Keeping tins of food stacked on the mantelpiece because he liked looking at how much food he had.

All separate housemates.

I hadn't been involved so I thought it was pretty funny myself! Arrived at the house around ten to two spectacularly hungover and rather shell shocked young fellas clutching cups of tea in shaking hands. Yer one had gone out to have a walk to calm down or she didn't know what she was going to do, apparently. Pretty much the only time she left the fcuking house the whole four months I was there. Until she moved out for good. And then the debt collectors started arriving looking for her.

When the Sun Hits

I can't think of anything. To be honest, I am probably the weird housemate in our house!

Depends on what liquid you use to wash the dishes.

Shared a house with a dude who i seen wearing my boxers........:eek:, Needless to say i let him keep them.

Another guy would eat my food, no biggie didn't mind to much(rather he eat than be hungry)Right up until he called a house meeting about people eating his food.


Why do guys have to lift the seat, Why don't women put it up when there are done.
When i see it down I'm like challenge accepted........:)

Fr_Dougal

Got up and peed on the floor in front of guests, then left the kitchen. Another time I was watching TV and he came in and started having a jimmy tank.




Have had him since he was a puppy.

Possessed by Obama lady was a paranoid schizophrenic I think, lovely woman actually, god love her.

Stealing a dog woman was just a rotten bitch, she went out on a night with the hunzos in Kinsale or somewhere (we lived in Cork city), got coked off her manky face and managed to smuggle a dog back on a coach. It was a small dog. Went home to the folks for the weekend then so I had to take care of the dog, and then I was public enemy number one for telling her she was responsible for replacing the tins of tuna and stuff I'd had to take from presses to feed the poor thing.

I attract mad people, it runs in the family

Second paragraph sounds like the fella we've been cursed with. He's been using some of my stuff (I'm not going to state what it was ), he bought some of his own when I moved mine as the whole "Stop using my stuff" conversation didn't seem to have gotten through to him. He sticks the packet that he bought blatantly in a part of the kitchen that you can't but spot it. He then sellotapes his packet closed (it's not the type of thing you'd normally sellotape closed). Jesus Christ, like. :rolleyes:

Women only ever use it with seat down. guys use it both ways so it makes sense to keep it down.

When i first moved out if home I lived with a landlady who thought that if you cooked with the over door closed it would cause a house fire. So she used to open it when something was cooking...

She also used to scream in her sleep due to bad nightmares. Possibly about house fires, I don't know.

QuantumP

Every time I went home for a weekend one of my sock thieving housemates would rearrange everything in the house. 'twas very odd indeed.

I had a housemate who really wanted to keep to herself...no problem with that.

But she had her brother stay one night unknown to me and he was sitting an exam the next morning.

As usual when I left the house in the morning, double licked the front door...ling story short, guy had to repeat exam several months later as he couldn't get out of the house.

The Backwards Man

I think I've posted before about the neighbour that moved to digs in Coventry from the wilds of the Donegal coast and had to get the landlady to throw buckets of water up against his bedroom window so he could sleep at night.

Also had a tenant meself who kept a goat in the kitchen in a crate. Never cleaned it out, just put new bedding on top of the old. When she moved out there were hole marks all over the ceiling from the horns. Fcuking holes through the coving and roses and all!

Nope, the oul windows got a licking too!

I've lived with a few oddballs in my time. Lived with a girl who went nuts for two nights, started punching the walls and doors and screaming her head off (she was kicked out fairly quick). Had a alcoholic nigerian who used to sing the same dire straits song over and over again. Nice man to be fair. Another fella who kept stealing food, I could of bought something in the shop and an hour later it would be gone.

Years ago I shared a flat for four months with a friend, “X”. In addition to being cheap, she was a slob. She wanted to save on kitty litter so she put very little into the litter box and also didn’t change it very often.

Gross though it was, it seemed that having me as a house-mate had actually raised her standards. After I had moved out a friend of ours mentioned she had stopped by X’s flat and made a face, expressing distaste. I said, “Oh, the litter box? I know, it’s gross.”

She said, “Litter box? What litter? It was a box of cat sh*t!”

Even better (or worse), on a later visit I saw that she had empty dry cat food boxes precariously stacked up against the wall, maybe four boxes high, three deep. She was too lazy to take these boxes downstairs to the recycling bins but she had found an ingenious use for them; she used them to store her collection of used coffee filters.

I guess she grew out of it because she is now happily married to a lovely guy, they have three, clean, healthy kids and live in a fairly tidy and clean house.

Chain Smoker

One guy used to play Captain Beefheart really loudly any time he was having sex ...and basically any other time too but it especially stood out then

Another dude once used a compartment from the fridge door to eat soup from instead of a bowl, kept his teabags in the fridge too

A few of them drove halfway across the country several days a week to train with their local GAA club on wet winter nights, hard to beat that

Strangely no, he was afraid that someone would think he was breaking into the place.

Have lived with so many weirdos over the years it really does make you wonder about people you work with etc that you think are normal but could be totally different behind closed doors...

For instance... Lived with a girl once who was a bit odd can't remember too many specifics since it was a good while ago. Anyway after living together for a year or so she had a car accident, wasn't hurt or anything but car was pretty badly damaged. We were being ultra nice to her asking if she wanted us to go get her groceries etc since car was out of action. She hadn't paid her rent for the month so we paid her portion of the rent and didn't want to seem like we were hassling her after she had just had an accident. Didn't see her for over a day so we were getting worried and we knocked and went into her room when there was no answer and she had just cleared out all her stuff during the night and left without saying anything to us. She owed us rent and still had a key to the house. So we kept ringing and texting her phone non stop and she kept ignoring us. Eventually I found her new boyfriend she wasn't seeing for too long on Bebo (yes going back a while now:D) and left a message on his wall saying hey could you please ask *Mary* to contact us about the rent she owes us and returning our key. Sure enough that was enough to make Mary cough up and get the key back but I saw her message someone else about having had to get a new phone number because of her psycho housemate who left in the middle of the night without saying anything and without paying rent etc. Eh that was you you strange girl... She is now married to that guy we left the message for on Bebo I often think to myself if only he knew what a strange person she really is.

Another housemate in same house we had move in as we had a spare double room in the house and wanted to reduce our rent a little. (Landlord had not given us the ok to do it but he was a bit of a tool anyway so we didn't feel too bad). Girl moves in and seems fine, one day she goes out for a walk. We decide we need to go to the shops for something small like milk will literally be gone 10 minutes. We were barely at the shop when the landlord rings us saying eh what the hell is going on I have someone who says they live in number 10 and hasn't got her key who the hell is she? Turns out she returned from her walk and had no key with her so she immediately knocked on our neighbours door and asked if she could come through and climb their fence into our garden. The neighbours were related to the landlord so called him straight away to see what the story was. We apologized to the landlord for going behind his back and said we would ask her to move out. She said that was fine she understood she couldn't stay and then proceeded to not leave she lived locally and my other housemate had offered to help her pack up and drop her back to her family home but no she still just kept randomly staying it was extremely awkward for a while.

TLDR - have lived with many weirdos

The food ones remind me of a housemate who was caught one day by one of the other lads, who returned earlier than usual on a Sunday and found him using the pots and pans to boil his socks and jocks. Not so much weird as hilarious.

He slept for a year in a bedroom with no door as the other lads removed it as a prank and it just kinda stayed like that. His girlfriend was not amused.

Great bunch though, we still keep in touch over 20 years later.

So you rented to someone under false pretences then tried to evict her overnight? And she was the weirdo?

Liam McPoyle

When I was a fresher in college a French guy moved into the house I was living in.

He was a chef but used to leave all the pots and pans stacked in the sink when he used them. Never cleaned up after himself.

I could get over that but what I couldn't handle was that for a couple of weekends in a row when I had gone home, he had gone into my room and taken my pillows from my bed and used them himself.

He didn't even try and put them back into my room before I got back.

To me that's akin to someone using my toothbrush.

Jesus i hated that wanker.

:mad:

One a few years back turned out to be an escort. Who thought it was a great idea to bring her clients back to the house instead of renting a separate flat for her 'business.'

I moved out after three weeks.
