Angry Monday Rant: Sharing a house / flat with others

$%^&*#! Ive had enough of it now

My house mates went away for a weeks holiday, I now realise that I like my own company, or at least I like living by my rules and not theres:

List of annoyances as follows:

Them robbing your food(even from your own f-ing bedroom)
Them robbing your washing powder "Ive run out" - go to the f-ing shop then
Them too poor to pay the bills they owe me, but always enough money for a Friday night p1ss up
Them dumping stuff all over the house
Them leaving unopend mail all over the house
Them leaving dirty plates all over the place - we have a dishwasher
Them parking there nags of cars all over the drive so I have to park a 25k car on the road, thanks lads
Annoying girl friends out staying their welcomes, using your stuff etc etc(there birds not mine lol)
Them turning on / off heating hot water at dumbass times

glad I got that offf my chest

add to it as you wish........................

LOL.

I remember all those from that list.

You missed off them leaving stuff in the fridge so long that it goes off and stinks it out and taints all the nice stuff that they've not stolen.

I ended up coming to blows with an idiot I shared with; caught the **** in my room rooting through my things.

Thats why I am finding it difficult to find someone to share with

Don't want all that keek, might as well just move back in with my parents and enjoy having no privacy whatsoever. Mind you, I think the washing getting done, hot meals when I get in from work, £30 a week rent, unlimited leccy, unlimited net, unlimited phone, unlimited hot water, not having to worry about housework MORE than compensates for it

Them being Australian accountants who think that their CPA qualification is so special combined with their I'm allergic to everything no gluten, no dairy, no proper food diet yet wtf are you still fat you dozy cow plus badly parking a hire car such that it scratches your Subaru's bumper then breaking your ankle whilst on a red letter day motocross event having not been on a bike for 20 years and expecting your housemates to collect you from said event in Brighton to go to hospital in London rather than call an ambulance then once home get your girlfriend to collect your car from Brighton and in the process get 3 points on a Gatso which them wouldn't swallow and then when bedridden (on top floor loft conversion of 3 story Victorian house with 31 steps between loft and kitchen) expect to be served meals and drinks yet it was your own fekkin' fault for breaking your ankle you stupid self centred antipodean accountancy i'm holier than thou cow and using *our* power shower equipped bathroom yet for some effin' stupid reason we let you rent the room that has the en suite with the victorian roll top bath THAT YOU NEVER USE and meanwhile wondering why i have the **** when you are getting a bargain of a rental rate in W4 at £600/month.

Never again.

when i first moved in with the missus there were serious arguments along these lines:

me:
do you know what day the bin men come on?
what's the point in washing up if the stuff is still dirty afterwards?
wtf is all this rubbish doing in here?
why do you insist on crinkling up the laundry before you hang it out?

her:
you are such a ****ing bast**d, you think you are perfect, you think everything i do is wrong, sob sob.

me:
well now you mention it - i am perfect

at least now we've got my little brother to complain about - this acts as a good diversion.

<The Young Ones>

(Neil is on the phone, Rik arrives)

Rik: Oh, Neil, and I see you haven't written the call down in the book, SPECIFICALLY put there for the purpose of equal share of the costs - thought you'd just get away with it? Thought we could subsidise your little chats while you save yourself a bit of money? "Just forgot", just this once? And how many other times did you "just forget", eh, eh? Oh, yes, just rely on your mates to pay your phone bills, nice one....

Neil: Er, Rik, it's a payphone, man...
