<\/p>\nUnless you\u2019re still living with your mum (cause she still does your washing) or you\u2019re loved-up and settled down in a blissful place for two, for the most of us, you\u2019ll experience the life of a house share at least once in your life.<\/p>\n
And, we’re pretty sure you’ve got some stories to tell. Whether it\u2019s ones that you\u2019ll end up telling at your BFF\u2019s wedding cause you guys are now friends for life, OR you lived with someone you immediately stopped talking to after they moved out, you\u2019ll have a fair share of LOLZ and gross snippets to talk about.<\/p>\n
And whilst we\u2019re not trying to put you off housesharing, we couldn\u2019t help but share these flatmate horror stories that were kindly submitted to us.<\/p>\n
Honestly though, who even are some of these people?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOne night I came downstairs to find a stranger sat in the dark at about 2am.. He was in his 50s, and had made himself a cup of tea and was just sitting in the living room with a bottle of vodka and a briefcase by his feet. My flatmate had left the front door unlocked, and it wasn\u2019t the first time\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI lived with a dude who only showered before dates, which was every few weeks. He also slept on a mattress that he refused to put sheets on. We had to keep his door shut because him and the room smelt so so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my flatmates was pretty disgusting. They would keep dirty plates and cups in their room for days on end, and I would refuse to take them out and wash them, so it got to a point where literally every single mug, knife\/fork and plate was in their room. I wanted a cup of tea, so I went into the room and picked up a mug and it was half full of tea. But not only that – actual mould had grown inside the cup. It wasn\u2019t the only cup in that condition. After that, I went and bought myself a new mug and refused to use what were now their mugs. Ugh.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy flatmate threw up in a sink and then went home for a long weekend. They didn\u2019t even think it was weird\u2026 Thankfully we had different bathrooms!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time I text my flatmate when she was out, and I asked if I could use her eyeshadow palette. She told me to go into her makeup vanity and get it. It was one of those big silver cases that you see MUAs with. Anyway, I open it and as I was rummaging through hundreds of different products, I touched something squidgy. There was a slice of cheesecake in it. CHEESECAKE. It was just sitting on the little plastic circle base that you get with it. Covered in mould too! I couldn\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI lived with a girl at uni who would lock us out of our own kitchen for hours, to cook food that smelt absolutely like rotting ass. She would also hoover and have insanely loud Skype calls in the middle of the night. But the best bit, was when she openly said her cousin would be living with us because it was cheaper. Our house was cramped as it was!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy flatmate only used the washing machine maybe twice a month, and in that whole time she lived with me, she didn\u2019t ever put her clothes into drawers or wardrobes and instead left them on the floor. The whole room would stink, even spreading into the hallway of the flat, so anyone visiting could smell this damp stench. I actually put 4 air fresheners in the hallway outside her door and she never questioned it. Even though she was unbearably smelly, if you saw this girl, she was always immaculate with her hair and makeup!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne time, one of the guys had left the gas on all night. We shared a 4 story houses with five people, and I remember waking up and smelling it from the top floor so had to run through the house shouting for everyone to open the windows.\u201d<\/p>\n
But, don’t let you put this off. We’ve got some awesome properties to live in, with equally awesome people.<\/p>\n
