i started crafting this enormously long bitch session but i’m super paranoid my housemate will see it. can i send you a private email?
I live with two girls, being female myself you’d think it might work out nicely. It doesn’t. I moved in with my bestfriend and we got another friend to move in with us. Turns out the other friend is the biggest nightmare ever, her parents pay her rent, she uses everything of ours and leaves lights on and taps running. When we got a suprisingly large gas bill we decided to stop using our heaters and other electricals so much. I got yelled at for using the dryer on a frosty night to dry my WORK clothes, (because she used the washing machine all weekend) i’m always the one to clean the house and put away things, within an hour they have messed it up. They never take out the rubbish, it always has to be me to do it. and they are just generally rude about it! 3/4 of the things in the house are mine- the nightmare contributed nothing to even moving in! yet she thinks it’s okay to treat the people supplying her with wardrobes, a fridge- basic kitchen supplies, lounges, desk and washing machine deserve to be treated badly..?
There’s no way out of the lease so we have to handle the nightmare for 9 more months!
I’d love to say more but who knows who will see this!
My housemates are freeloading boho hippies.. and I hate them. We live in a truly beautiful house but the destroy it because they’re disgusting.
They do the norm – never clean dishes but leave them for someone else do to, leave lights on CONSTANTLY despite having no money to pay for them and me having to cover the bill and never flush/clean the toilet – how old do you have to be to be told to pull a toilet chain?
but the worst… and grossest moment was when someone had had a bath and left every single body hair they had on their body in the bath.
It was like road kill – I literally gag
but like no money to move, I’m screwed… I’ll only lived here 2 out of the 12 months….damn.
I moved in with two girls, two of my best friends. I’m in charge of everything, bills, getting things fixed, (including their computers) furniture, and a large portion of the cleaning. The only thing I’ve ever wanted in return was a cat. This has been known for months before we even found a house. The messier house mate supports me. The slight hygiene obsessive one who acted like me having a cat was okay has basically changed her mind now we’re actually getting one. And us still getting one means we disrespect her. Even though 2 out of 3 is a majority. She’s not being asked for anything in regards to the cat and i’m even going to keep up with her original weird requests of him not going in the kitchen. But I don’t think it’s unfair to fight on this. She even said it doesn’t matter what we said she’d say no. It’s not my fault she lied to me so I was under false assurances a cat was fine when we moved in. I don’t want to come across as a bitch but it means a lot to me. And I do every little thing she wants, and she won’t let me have this one thing, and has somehow made the whole thing about her.
I moved in with a female friend of a friend that became a couple soon afterwards in a really nice place in North London.
She is a total trog. Doesnt’ flush the loo, trying to get her to pay bills is nightmarish, she doesn’t even come close to doing half of the cleaning but makes eighty per cent of the mess. She held a party a month ago, where every one helped clean up afterwards. There was some plates left to put away after being washed, a few other things to put back and some food left over. Easily less than an hours work. Came back from a holiday two weeks later to find that the joint frontroom/kitchen area had been utterly trashed. She held a small meal with a close friend with the left overs then dumped them on the floor….for two weeks! Plus, every single everything in the kitchen had been used and abused. The microwave, which was completely clean, had been left covered in various different colour goos, the kitchen towels were horrific, and the bathroom was worse. Two and a half weeks later I tidied up; which took me well over a day and six black bags. She then demanded to know why I had dumped loads of her stuff outside her room to putaway, including her laptop which she left cemented to the floor in something. Gets better; she has now taken to blanking me when every I walk in a room, which considering she is a total pillock I don’t mind too much. The worst though – my friend who she is going out with has now come and told me that she is has been talking total crap about me behind my back. Not only that but he wants to dump her because he now agrees she is a skanky crazy.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I’m shocked why this accident didn’t happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
