The most irritating flatmate ever
At uni, we advertised the spare room in our house and only one person applied, so we were left with the most irritating and ignorant tosser you could ever wish to imagine. So much so, that we called him 'New Boy' behind his back for the first couple of weeks, but he had such a chip on his shoulder that we were still calling him that after twelve months.

Anyway, one of the absolute classics of aforementioned New Boy, was when he was arguing that you can set fire to mud. To which we responded, mud, being wet earth, cannot burn because it's wet. i.e. has water in it.

New Boy would simply not accept this argument and this wrangling match went on for around 45 minutes and ended in him spending the rest of the evening sulking in his room.

He was always arguing and correcting us and almost always wrong.

What a tosser.
