I have had a few
I don't consider myself the best housemate in the world. This year i have yet to pay for toilet paper or cleaning products. But i do do the washing up if there is any there, i do keep my mess to my room, which i clean/tidy once a week. And i am aware have housemates so keep the noise down.

I have however left my window open on a few occasions. My room is at the front on the ground floor.

All in all i don't think i am that bad.

Housemates i have lived;

E. That year was fun, he is a great friend of mine and love him to bits, in a mannly way. BUT he did smoke a LOT of weed/dope. He bought half a bar of soap as it worked out cheaper. Even tho he was a chef he was the worst person in the kitchen,. he would use every single item in there and then leave it. The two best things were when he put the empty pizza boxes back in the freezer and he has a weird thing about leaving cupboards open. I was chatting to him, leaning against the door frame (very small kitchen) and watched him make a sandwich. He opened a few cupboards etc etc and left, i called him back and pointed out what he had done. He huffed at me and stormed off. My other housemate of the time T, informed me he once heard E using the kitchen and then a short while later goes back in. Starts muttering about the cupboards being open and slams the shut. T hadn't been in the kitchen and i was away all that day. Still a good friend.

Gordy, who had the worst habits like;

Putting his wet clothes to dry on top of the already wet clothes which meant his room stank. One weekend we aired his room for 2 days, within seconds of closing the window the smell was back.

Using a glass, to take a drink of water, the rinse the rim, wipe with his hand and put it back.

Get drunk and do silly things. Example. I came home from a weekend back home to find the map o had put up in the hall way was burnt on one corner. On asked flatmates what had happened, Gordy said "Oh i thought it was you, must have been me then".

Janny, Greek and clueless. A gentle soul who got a first. But lacked common sense. We did a group deep clean and he was mopping the front room floor. He tried, TWICE, to used fabric softener.

Tobi, german. I like the guy and over all a good housemate. But when we moved into this place and teh kitchen's ceiling had fallen down and needed replace thus leaving the kitchen filthy he was more interested in replacing the toilet seat and installing a loo roll holder than getting the kitchen fit for human use. Actually that is his only real fault, oh and not being able to do concise sentences.

Oh and a current housemate who thinking rinsing the mugs is washing them....
