Hey, Dean Yager!
@ the inspiring praiseBecause of it I just fired off an excerpt to the uni magazine, in an enquiring email to see if they want an article for their next issue on 'My Filthy House Hell' or some similarly crappy title.
Cheers Urbs!
(they did the dishes and cleaned the crap up this afternoon - karma
)I know how you feel. I have lied with 7 other people for 5 years, and am moving out in April. I think I might miss it though. What will I do with all the free time, that I used to spend clearing up after people? Who will eat all the food that I leave in the fridge? How will I find a bath that makes itself dirty?

A very eloquent post, Balbi, and I hope your housemate hell ends soon.
Hang in there, not much longer to go now, and then you can live in a nice place with decent people who tidy up after themselves.

I feel your pain. I used to keep a set of crockery in my room. I was only able to access the bath water as the you couldn't get near the kitchen sink. I used to visit my parents of a friday night and wash as I wasn't clearing her shaved pubes out of the bath. We had mice. She broke most of my plates and burnt my pans and then replaced them with spindly cheap crap.

I went on a morbid mental journey around that house while reading that, and I got an insight into the apathy, short-sightedness, and mental un-balance of the overworked, poorly prioritised, lazy and overly culturally conditioned souls.Move out as soon as possible is what I would do as this is a toxic envieonment, not just physically, but emotionally too.
Im glad they have cleaned up this time though.
Thats exactly what I mean by overly culturally conditioned.cyberfairy said:
Outward appearances are all important in this society, there was a telly program about a man in a flat, who wrapped his shit in newspaper and put it in a bag, and the bags piled up, the flat stank. But, he also, wore a suit and went to work.
Theres something really macabre about it isnt there?
Im not a student, but the op was a well written post, especially as it was just blurted out, and especially as there was no mind-expanding drugs mentioned

that sucks...keep count of the remaining days be making a, what would you call it...where you make downward lines for the days and a diagonal slash across them to signify a week. do this in their dirt daily
Sounds like the student house I lived in.....
or many of (especially the all-boys) houses that we now own and rent out to students at the same Uni.
Looking at places in that state now, I can't believe I once put up with it.
My mate ended up sharing with people who not only left the place a stinking tip all the time, they nicked his stuff. Leave a bottle of milk, they would use half of it and then top it up with water thinking he wouldn't notice!
Tried the same with his shampoo...... until he carefully refilled the bottle with Immac! Revenge was sweet, and bald.

The most insane I went about a house was a place I shared with my mate who until he met one particular girl was quite a good flatmate. Whaen she came round, she used to leave a pile of crap in every room, use all my stuff and the highlight for me was finding they had been writing messages to each other on the bathroom wall in olive oil. Which you can't paint over. I couldn't sleep as they would scream and shout at 4 in the morning and regulally decide it was 'party night' - She started inviting her friends over and complaining when I pointed out I had to be up at 6 and to turn the music/tv down. When I did get up I always had to negotiate a trail of cans, bottles, unwashed plates and pizza boxes/kfc tubs to get to the kettle - which, when I returned would still be there, gently turning the air fetid
I moved out fairly sharpish as I started finding even stuff in my room wasn't sacred, CD's would mysteriously smash themselves in their cases and the idea of me having my own food was simply ludicrous. About two weeks after I moved out, I got a call from the landlord saying he was disgusted with me and he was taking me to court - For what? I asked - It turned out, the flatmate had left about a week later and just left the house in a simply disgusting state
There were rotting chicken legs on the floor of the living and yoghurt all over the kitchen and fags buts stubbed into the window sills. I placated the landlord and said it hadn't been me and tried to contact flatmate who said 'I'll come round and sort it' - I worked for 5 nights after work and cleaned the whole place and repainted it all, threw away the abandoned furniture and filled in all the holes in the walls he and girlfriend had made (result of violent fights as it happens - one of my main reasons for leaving)
On the last night flatmate turned up and pushed a mop round half heartedly for about 20 mins till he got a call from girlfriend - he leaves. I then call the landlord and tell him to come round and he says, 'ta, but you can't have the bond back cos flatmate ain't paid rent for 6 months' - I go ballistic cos I need the money for new flat rent, get flatmate on the phone and tell him to sort it NOW. He comes round and landlord says you owe me X (bear in mind this flatmate has bought new car, computer AND been on holiday in last 6 months, whereas I am at this point earning 8k/year)
Flatmate say something like 'sorry, direct debit must have gone wrong, no problem' - writes him a cheque there and then. I then retire to new flat expecting my £300 bond money any day - Finally I get a letter from a letting agent saying the landlord has decided not to have any further contact with us and they are sorry but flatmates cheque bounced and I am not entitled to return of bond as flat in his name not mine and whether or not I paid half of it is irrelavent in legal sense.
He changes phone number. A few years later gets back in touch with me to ask me for some money for a bill he didn't pay, even though I gave him the money for it. I tell him no, but let him buy me beer
A further few years later he got done for fraud cos he told his work he lived somewhere miles away and claimed milage to this hypothetical address. The same lad probably had about £700 quid off me for bond and bills he never paid, a similar ammount from another mate and also bought a house and didn't make a single mortgage payment and somehow has evaded any censure for that.
Oh aye, just remembered - he also had a scam going at the time he wasn't paying his rent whereby he would collect all the tips off the staff at the place he managed so as to 'ensure they were allocated fairly' which meant keeping 80% himself and giving them a fiver each from the rest. Cos they were all kids they never argued. I only found out about that later.
Somehow, no-one has ever punched him...
