6 of one, half dozen of the otherWell, all I can say is, I gave as good as I good to most of my housemates over the years, leaving me with a long string of people whose desire never to live with me again is matched only by my desire never to live with them.
Over the years I've:
- Had particularly noisy sex with my (now ex-)girlfriend (though in my defence, there's only so many times you can say 'shut up' before it spoils the mood).
- Left dirty plates/cutlery/half-empty pot noodles in the living room.
- Woken everyone up by getting up early for work.
- Invited various people round for much stoner-related smoking, thus making an entire house of non-smokers stink of ganj.
- Had a go at a particularly vacuuous housemate who would state the obvious (a personal pet hate) then wonder why I get mildly annoyed with them. I stopped after her boyfriend threated to beat the cack out of me.
All in retaliation for:
- Talking through out the entire 1st 15 minutes of 'Lost Boys', until I just got up and left.
- Watching T.V. and playing Halo until all hours of the morning when I had to be up for work the following day, not to mention crawling in drunk at rediculous times in the morning.
- Argueing. Non-stop. And the same one is almost always wrong, or has misunderstood, or hasn't got her own way about something...and now they're married (though God help me if they ever read this).
- A guy who, when showing me how to play a warhammer game for the 1st time, still felt a need to cheat in order to win (something I only realised much later).
- Invited various people round for stoner-related smoking, without inviting me.
Yeah, I was a watermelon to live with, but so were they. I feel justified.
