i thought we could start up a light hearted thread about what its like living in a share house. Do you have any horror stories or weird housemates? A real neat freak or a messy person? Or are you lucky and live with cool people?

this was all inspired my frustration at the strangness of my housemates. They probably think I'm strange too.

Anway, i've been lving with people for about three months that I met on gumtree.com. I didn't do an normal interview but instead met the landlord and they showed me around the house. The house was cool, and really cheap rent!

However, the housemates are another story. They are nice and all, but obviously have different conceptions of a sharehouse than I do. They are primarily from Asia.

Firstly, all sponges and diswashing detergent is used individually. You have your own and don't share. i didn't know this and one guy cracked the shits coz i used his sponge.

Secondly, they have all bought 5 different rice cookers! so they can all have their own rice cooker. i got permission to use one. I think this is just ridiculous, why spend $60 on a new rice cooker when you can all share one or two.

thirdly, i just got in trouble for using someones plates. i didn't know that cultley and plates weren't communal. they all have their own plates! WTF!

A few of the guys are clean freaks. Dishes can't be left in the sink, have to be washed instantly etc.

I have never lived in a house like this. All past houses, everything in communal spaces is communal. Particularly as far as detergent, sponges, appliances and dishes go.

Does anyone think this is weird? or am I the weird one?

Thanks for reading this thinly veiled vent thread. haha
 
lol, I never shared exactly.

I did however live with me best mate for a while but Im pretty easy going with most stuff so there was never any issues really.

I did pretty much all the cooking washing and cleaning while my mate kept the ps2 controllers clean and working all the time.

I was happy making him happy and he was happy at being made happy so itr worked all round.

so there are like a heap of different sponges on the sink? Thats weird.

I guess it all comes back to what your used to so maybe thats the way it is where they come from.

Sounds like your out numbered so I would just go with the flow. tough titties for the next person that has to live with you and thinks your weird for having your own sponge and cutlery and shit...........lol.
 
When I lived on campus someone once stole a can of tuna from me the first night they moved in. Also he took all our cups and stored bong water in them, and kept them up the top of his cupboard. We found this all out when we had enough of our stuff disappearing and went into his room one day. The tuna can was still there, in his cupboard. Yuck. It's not like we didn't know he was smoking pot constantly, I don't know why he didn't just pour it down the sink, or out his window. Such an idiot.
 
Checking out bluelight for the first time in ages and I couldn’t resist this thread. My housemates and I unexpectedly had to fill a room in our place and out of desperation found someone online who described herself as ‘pretty chilled’. Within a week of moving in we were constantly being asked to turn down music, tv, anything that makes any kind of sound, because she ‘can’t hear herself think’, is trying to sleep at midday, or just isn’t into whatever is going on. I am completely cool with low volume for reasonable sleeping hours but when we aren’t able to use the common living areas because it might interfere with whatever she happens to be doing at the time I start to get a little pissed off. Apparently her idea of a share house is everyone else fitting their shit around her routine. I have a feeling soon the search will be on for a new housemate...she is not the worst housemate I have ever had to share with but the most frustrating as am still dealing with it.
 
Psytaco your certainly not the wierd one.

When I was 16 I decided to move out and into a friends place, now I'm not a clean freak but this place was pretty bad, no doors on hinges even in the bathroom only both the outside doors actually existed and they had a squatter that lived in the backyard in a tent. This place was pretty crazy considering it was parent free and owned by the guy I lived with who was only 18 so it was the party house. Anyways I'm getting off topic, one time I come home from school and my mate is watching tv and a rat runs across the floor. I knew we had rats and had been trying to get rid of them but as it ran across my friend threw it a piece of meat from his plate which it grabbed and ran off with. I was confused/mortified but ignored it, later that night in bed I feel something run across my bed I jump up and hear it as it scatters away.. Next day I left.
 
When I lived in Tokyo, I shared a place with Sri Lankans. They used to leave so many used dishes in the sink that I stopped using the kitchen and ate out most nights. Constant saucepans with burnt curry and rice were left on the stove and not cleaned for days. Usually they were too lazy to put there food on plates and just ate out of the saucepan with their fingers.

It wasn't only the kitchen where cleanliness issues resided. The shower was basically a toilet. 2 of the male residents took pleasure in defecating while showering and mashing their shit through the drain hole.

Needless to say, I didn't last very long at that place. :\
 
Being the only male and living with 5 females is not an experience I will repeat.

And one became pregnant and didnt even know she was apparently. None of use ever noticed. She had really bad stomach cramps one weekend and out popped the baby. Still a bit skeptical on that one though.

Thats a great book!

and where to start? Firstly i'll say the shower toilet thing is DISGUSTING.


OK first house with a good mate. I was unemployed, he worked full time. Was OK but one night he made a korma curry that made me the sickest I had ever been.
After emergency room and 2 days recovering, I moved home.

Moved to Brisbane. Lived with two emo's who used to take eccy's on a wednesday night and lay next to each other in Bed and talk all night. One of them used to blare the absolutely worst emo punk shite to piss us off. Always used to eat our food and scab our weed. Dirtiest kitchen ever. Eventually there was no clean dishes. This is a photo before the kitchen reached critical mass and i chucked it all out on the lawn and sprayed it with a hose.

OK so then the really annoying emo guy breaks his arm trying to do a backflip from a one metre stage and he turns ultra emo and starts lying and calling us names, trying to ruin our lives.

I brandish a thin PVC pole at him and scream at him after not being able to take his childish and fiendish lying anymore. He then wakes me up at nights (while i'm asleep) by walking to my room, opening it and then slamming it shut. Grrr

Thats pretty much the only share house i've lived in.
 
Ohhh man, this thread is awsome I hope it grows! I have this girl that roomed with the wife and I, she was awsome untill she met her boyfriend. The guy is an asshole that can be nice sometimes. well sher asked if this guy could move in, reluctantly I ajusted the rent and allowed it. Now I don't need the money I charge them for rent, it helps but I am fine without it. Its two weeks since he moved in and now they are married I was like wtf 2 weeks? And he assumes that everything in the house is half his. Example: I have a NAS at the house and a media client hooked up in the livingroom he wants access to my personal PC the media client and the NAS. Not only that but access to some of my downloading accounts? I bought a new printer for the wife and he got pissed cause I didn't network it cause "I needed to use it, and you weren't here" I know that's rather tame. Another story of mine, my brother had a couple that lived with him, the girl worked all day but her man was unemployed,so he was always at the house. One day my brother and I were looking at his pc (my brothers) and he's showing me some photos well he's clicking through them and bam, I see a photo of a dick! I said. Ahhhhh, wtf man? He and I are just looking at it and I noticed that it was my brothers tile floor in the pic, then we relized that his roommate had taken photos of his dick and was uploading them wherever on my bros pc we laughed so hard so ppl always lock your pc!
 
when my first flatmate moved out of home to go get married i had 2 other flatmates after him

Flatmate 1 - was a god damn whore... she fucked me over with rent in the end and was just a fuckin mole

Flatmate 2 - i met her at pub i was working at... she was looking for a place to live, and i was pretty desperate for a flatmate... she was a good 10 years older than me (in her 30's). So we made a verbal agreement and i gave her the keys one day, i went out and she moved in... WITH HER FUCKIN 11 YR OLD KID...

Also, while at v festival, she sent me an sms about how i would come home to a turtle in my bathtub

and then there was the time, where i was away for about 6 weeks... she paid rent and all that... so that was ok... but her kid had her chores to do... one of which was the dishes... i went to eat one night, not being able to find a plate, as their werent any clean ones... or many dirty ones... they were all underneath the sink...

i now have an awesome flatmate.. she is the lovely =D
 
Most of the problems with my flatmates has been caused by my drug use.

Though the one chick who really fucked me over, constantly flirted with my boyfriend at the time, and one time picked up a random and asked if she could sleep in my bed because her bro was staying in her room. I said yeah cool because I wasn't going to be sleeping any time soon, but please don't have sex on my bed. Not only did she have very loud sex on my bed, she left the used condom on my carpet :!
 
Sharing a house with a polish neat freak!! GET ME ouTAA HERE!!

Was told today the house is to be spotless all the time and i should clean it everyday I get home from work.. This doesnt work for me im a dirty hippy pretty much haha..

He expects it too look like something out of a magazine ad for cleaning products and smell like clean at all times. Fuck me I dont know how you can live your life just constantly keeping shit in order and tidy..
 
Hahahaha ohh this is awesome!

I recently moved into my own bachelorette pad! I now live ALONE and I'm stoked :D But oh lordy, sharing can suck. Haha, after 8years of share accom, it's soooo good to get outta it!!

I lived in a nice place with a gay guy who seemed pretty cool, he was after two housemates so that reduced to one when I moved in. He found another sharer, from a gay dating (hookup) site that he frequented.. The dude came over to check the place out and within an hour they were in bed together. Haha. I was evicted a month later because the boys wanted more 'privacy' as they were 'dating' now.. Needless to say, 3 days later, the newest sharer stole all the original guys stuff, tv, ps3, etc.. and was never seen again.. LOL

I lived in a place with a mixed martial arts champion, multiple language speaking, buddhist who had an obsession with taxidermy, womens clothes and was petrified of cheese wrappers and cockroaches.. I'm not kidding.. Haha..

I have lived in some amazing share places and have great friends from those experiences, but there's nothing like living alone I've found.. Haha
 
Currently living in a share here in queens ny....living with 7 other ppl...all of whom are unemployed...including myself as of this week....not too many nightmares but this place is a messy party spot which some would consider a nightmare

enjoyed reading the stories here =)
