I Hate My Flatmates

1: I just got online for the first time in three days [i worked yesterday morning and today, and between 2 and 7am's normally the only time I can get on lately]. I'd downloaded a whole 2 of 78 emails and Bone-Idle Indolent Shit One 'asks' me to get offline so he can make a phonecall, which i most graciously and magnanimously did only top find he CAN'T BE BOTHERED USING THE PHONE NOW 'CAUSE SMALLVILLE IS ON!

2: Bone-Idle Indolent Shit Two had friends over for dinner last weekend. It's about the fifth time he's cooked in my memory. He still hasn't done the dishes. I pointed out to him that i refused to do his dishes this time [I do a sinkful every morning, even the days when i haven't been home, just to keep the place clean and vermin-less]. They are now growing new and exciting strains of penicillin.

3: The last time i cleaned the oven of Indolent Shit toasted-sandwich-cheese mess, both Indolent Shits bought me a present in gratitude. Both presents were a bottle of household cleaner and a back of cleaning sponges.

4: Indolent Shit One has a ponytail mullet. Worse, he has a shedding ponytail mullet. The bathroom basin was blocked by a great greasy clod of it.

5: Indolent Shit Two lent our laundry room to a friend of his to store his stuff for a few months, blocking access to the wash tub, cleaning products cupboard and my washbasket. Judging from the smell of the Indolent Shits' bedrooms, they don't believe in washing clothes.

6: Indolent Shit One likes canto-pop. He sings along. Loudly. Offkey.

7: He also reads all the 'interesting' articles out of the newspaper, whether anyone wants to hear them or not, especially when i am trying to have a conversation or listen to the radio news.

8: He also gave my boyfriend and i food poisoning.

9: Indolent Shit Two is a drug hoover. He bludges tobacco off any smoker friends that happen to visit me. He regularly spots up on the stove even when i am trying to, say, cook dinner or bake in the same space.

10: We already lost one female flatmate and my female aquaintances don't visit because B-I I S 2 is a lecherous creep.

On the plus-side, neither of them have declared their undying love for me yet, or gotten evicted for pocketing the rent money, or started sleeping with each other and pretending not to [as far as i know...].

New Flatting-hell answers!

petra jane (petra jane), Saturday, 3 May 2003 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Shara wondered why you didn't say hello to them.

Anyway, one of my friends just left his flat because one of his flatmates got a puppy. she keeps it inside all day and all night, with no litter box. it is expected to poo in the half an hour or so it is let out for. obviously, it doesnt. she feeds the puppy with utensils used for eating, and apparently no one in the flat is very good at washing up (urgh).
the other day he went to drop a load of clean washing somewhere. he asked where the laundry box is.
"that box over there"
"no, that's the dog box"
"it's the laundry box"
"it was the dog box yesterday"
"yeah, now it's the laundry box"

it's funny because i don't live there.

Hey those guys were pretty scary looking, but until they start to shoot the people that walk past with an air rifle and have sex with stuffed toys on the bus then set them on fire and pee on them in front of old ladies, well until then I win. No one in Hamilton says hello though.

You do that shit? Hi Petra!!

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 4 May 2003 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, hey Petra!

Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 4 May 2003 10:02 (twenty-two years ago)

And sorry about your irritating flatmates.

Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 4 May 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

My sympathies too, obviously

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 4 May 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Well no, why would i write it in a thread about flatmates if i did it?

Fergus Noodle (Fergus Noodle), Monday, 5 May 2003 02:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't being entirely serious.

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 May 2003 11:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, it’s my vitamins and three pages of psychological questions.

Fergus Noodle (Fergus Noodle), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

That guy who wrote 'He Died With A Felafel In His Hand' ain't got shit on my flatting experience. But at least i don't still live with my parents

*virtually glares at the Andrews on this thread*

Hey National Radio just played a Bowie song that merged into a Pink song...weird!

Yeah putting up with a bunch of moron flatmates is SO much better. I'm kicking myself.

Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck, I'd better move out then! Soon as I turn 16, ok.

Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Paying rent sounds fun, though

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

More fun than living in CAMBRIDGE! With my MOTHER!

petra jane (petra jane), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, what petra said. i've had some crappy flatmates in the past, but nothing beats being outta home. not just for the independence, but for not having to burden my poor mum anymore.

di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

btw, sorry about your flatmates petra jane. you should move out.

di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah i know, but it's easier to just piss and moan abt these things.
