My housemate is nice but a bit weird
Our housemate is a nice enough dude but he occasionally really gets on my nerves. I'm quite an introvert and get a bit annoyed when people invade my personal space.

Some weird things he does:

- Walked into the bedroom where I was having a bit of a cuddle with Mr Chicken. The door was partially closed. Rather than do the whole "oh shit sorry" thing and walk away, he stood there and stared, and eventually said "Aww, how cute." And stared some more. After an uncomfortable silence he left the room. We definitely make sure we close the door now.

- Although he does randomly open the door when I'm inside and asks, "How are you?" During which I am so shocked that he just barged into my room without knocking that all I can say is "um, good thanks". One day he'll catch me watching porn and then he'll be sorry.

- Does not answer the door or pick up the phone. He told me that if someone knocked at the door and asked for him, I had to tell them he wasn't there. Not sure why. Nevertheless the phone rings constantly and he never answers it.

- Except this morning when it rang at 6am and he decided to have a long, loud conversation outside my bedroom. I'm a night shift worker and was not particularly impressed.

- He drank 3 litres of milk by himself in one night. Wasn't impressed when I went to make a coffee the next day.

- Never sleeps in his bedroom. He spends 90% of his time sitting on the couch in front of the TV. He set up a sleeping bag and everything. He never leaves the loungeroom.

- Mr Chicken, being the nice bloke he is, keeps trying to make an effort to get housemate off the couch and get him to be more social. We all went to the pub once. Halfway through the night we all went outside for a smoke and somehow lost him. I ran around the pub and finally found him talking to some random couple. He told us to go home without him because he just wanted to talk to them, not us. Huh?


I'm probably overreacting though. Considering Mr Chicken and I have a habit of playing music, getting really stoned and cooking random things in the kitchen and having loud sex, we're probably the bad housemates. And he was kind enough to let us live with him and pay insanely cheap rent in the first place, so I should probably be a bit nicer to him...

It took me a while to realise...
...that "having a bit of a cuddle with Mr Chicken" is not a eupehemism for wanking furiously.
