Bedsits..are full of nutters.
#1: I used to share a landing with an ancient old wierdo who drank a dozen tins of lager daily, used to swear at himself loudly whilst locked in his room, and couldn't be bothered to go down a flight of stairs to the loo. He would piss in a bucket, wait until it was brimming over, then carry it down the stairs, with much arthritic spillage. The landlady moved him out after he shat all over the bathroom floor - professional cleaners were needed to get the smell of piss out his carpet.
#2: The landing below housed the wierdest guy ever seen. He was anything between 30 and 70, dressed like Roy Cropper, and would flee like a startled cat if you met him in public. His mother would ring at 6am every goddamn morning, and he could be heard screeching to her in a ridiculous high pitched voice. He went away at weekends, and once left my other flatmate his key so the landlady could see to a leaking roof. We looked in his room and *everything* was covered in tinfoil.
#3:A previous occupant had fell out with another tenant, and had graffiti'd allusions about his sexual proclivities on the backs of the cheap pictures in the hall. Unforunately his spelling was crap, leaving us to wonder exactly what 'John is a molestar' was supposed to mean.
