Alright, I have a distraction thread. What is the worst thing your flatmate ever did? I'll start:
I came home early from work and caught him, wanking in MY bed 🤮
Was a raging conservative, alcoholic loser, woke up to him wailing in tears outside my room one night because he couldn't find his own room, I gently kicked him until he rolled down the stairs and went back to bed.
Well I wasn't like kicking him to hurt him, I was shoving him with my foot so he wasn't leaning on my door. And i kept doing it repeatedly, and he rolled down the stairs 🤣
Oh! My ex and our lil mate LOCKED ME IN A ROOM for hours while they shouted gang related slurs thru the door while they tripped for about 4 hrs. Dumb fucks locked me in the best room of the house, with the phone and the tv, I had my darts and my drugs, it was like a lovely holiday 🥹🥹🥹
Scooped her cat’s litter box into gallon ziplocs. Which is fine, that’s easier to carry to the dumpster. Except she didn’t. I cleaned her room before inspection & took out FIVE large black trash bags worth of gallon ziplocs full of cat shit.
She also read my journal & tried to defend herself, constantly left dirty plates on her floor, and while the effects of having Cystic Fibrosis + unpredictable periods on her underpants were not her fault, leaving those underpants on the carpet for ??? Weeks was certainly a choice.
Holy shit.
That's worse than the flatmate I had who kept trying to wash the kitty litter down the sink. And continued to do so even after I tried to explain how plumbing works.
Eventually they moved to flushing it down the toilet. Which led to *another* conversation along those lines.
I had a flatmate similar to this - when she moved out, the landlord and I were seriously discussing whether bleach and that kilz paint would be enough, or whether we’d have to burn the house down.
Looking back, 20+ years later, there was likely some significant mental health issues at play. But that didn't matter when we were 19 & dealing with the issues her hoarding tendencies caused.
Flatmate got so drunk one night, she appeared naked in my room, pushed me out of bed, then mistook my rocking chair for the toilet so sat down in it and pissed like a horse.
We had one who got really upset and eventually left because we (the couple) sounded like were having fun and laughing all the time while he was always in his room. 🤷♀️
Also there was the (intentionally on his part) unmedicated schizophrenic who came out of his room one day with a wooden stake and said "Hey does anybody want to come kill vampires with me?" and as soon as he cleared the driveway I called the cops on him.
I had one run up a similar amount calling one of those lines where you chat to random people. Did a flit while I was away. Telecom said they’d organise a payment plan but then sicked the debt collectors onto me anyhow.
The food they left to rot was the worst thing...
Oh and one time they took a door off the hinges and put it in the bed and I didn't realise and jumped on the bed right on the handle. But that wasn't malicious just dumb young men.
Young me are gross and naughty in the most obnoxious way
I had a different flatmate who he and his mate would lay n wait for me to get in the shower then flush this weird toilet that was in an outdoor shed so I couldn't hear it but the water would get screaming hot making me scream
Thats so mean!
They were always good to me. The worst thing they did was call me Britney and put her photos all over my door.
And occasionally flash the whole flat.
They were gross though so many gross boy things.
They teased me like primary school boys, I never had brothers but I always imagined those guys would be what brothers and brothers friends would be like
Soaked a dog carcass she found while hiking in our bathtub to collect the bones for "art".
Then boiled it in my soup pot.
Then baked it in the oven.
Do you know what really old dead things smell like when you bake them?
I can actually understand turning roadkill into art - that's a valid and interesting artform. But doing so in a flatmates soup pot and in an oven shared with others - in a house shared with others!?! - yeah, nah, eh.
