He was older than my parents
After college my friends who I had been living with for 2 1/2 years decided to go to America, leaving me behind to save money for my own trip.

So I found a place with a spare room, it looked okay, apparently the house had 2 workers and a student in it. The landlord didn't tell me any more about them.

So I come downstairs after my first night there and what do I see but a short fat 55 year old standing in his underwear. He was ironing, so I thought maybe he is just ironing his pants. Then I came home from work and he was sitting in the living room in the dark watching TV with only his underwear and an old vest on.

He also:
-Snored loudly. Very loudly, it sounded like he was killing a bear in there some nights. I often jumped up and down and banged doors to wake him up so I could sleep, but it only lasted a few minutes.

-Watched porn whilst in his pants/vest combo in the living room. I know this because I turned on the TV one morning and it defaulted to the playboy channel.

-He was a complete slob. He had so much of his stuff just thrown everywhere it was ridiculous. He had a big pile of his clothes thrown beside the washing machine that he just picked from every now and again. Just before I left, the landlord had stuffed them all in a bin liner bag and thrown them in front of his door. It took a day before he had started building up his pile again.

-There was a girl who moved in at the same time as me. He only ever stared at her tits and kept talking about sex to her. She ended up staying at a friends house most nights because she was too afraid to stay there.

-He was pretty well off too. He owned, or else was the manager of a winery. He also used to get paid to give loads of talks about wine. And he travelled around the world to watch every single Ireland match. Yet he still lived in a little 75 euro a week place with people half his age. I just don't get it.

I've been bitten by fleas, woken up by rats, had mildew creeping after me among other things in other houses. This guy was the worst.

Apologies re: length
