Arghh!I spent 6 months in a shared house with a complete loon:
You know that cup or pot that most people use to keep their toothbrushes in, just somewhere to keep the brushes and the paste together. Well I come home one day and notice all the brushes and the paste on the side and the cup on a shelf? A bit odd I thought, took the pot down only to find it with filled with white material and from the smell of it bleach! Looking again inside the pot I realised what was in it, yes she's had one of those monthly accidents and decided the best way to clean it was to use 'that' cup and some bleach.
I never left my toothbrush out again.
To continue her trend of ‘interesting ways to clean things’ when the washing machine broke she took all her clothes, put them in the bath, bleached them (maybe she got a discount bulk purchase) and then put them all into a black bin bag. Odd enough as that was she then left them inside that black bag in her wardrobe for about 2 months. The smell of rotting cloth was absolutely disgusting, it's not like she didn't notice either (other than us almost beating her to death when she wouldn't do anything about them) she would spray about a can of air freshener into the room before she would go in it.
That also explains why sometimes you would wake up in the middle of the night and find her asleep next to you, the smell got that bad.
