Room/Housemate Funnies - Page 3

Yeah, my flatmate goes on and on about his 'system', and how good it is... My tiny little PC speakers can drown it out, so I'm happy. He isn't, but that doesn't bother me.

Bumping my own thread, because I can.

I have a new housemate who has an absolutely terrible taste in decorations, but this doesn't bother me at all because I'm going home in a few days.

She did provide me with the one and only utterance of the following sentence that I will ever hear in my life.

Sitting in front of her computer, watching YouTube, she goes "I'm watching a wedding."

I said "aww." I felt like saying "Hmmm, I won't spoil the ending for you then."

Here's a funny one for all y'all. Early this year one of my housemates held a knife to the throat of another housemate. Admittedly that isn't funny, but seeing about 8 policemen bundle into my house and arrest him was.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 09:43 PM

Holy shit, I thought I lived in a crappy neighbourhood. Don't think that one's happened yet. Did he get charged?

michael22 · 25-08-2008, 09:51 PM

This really makes me look forward to University.

He got cautioned. It certainly made the next 6 weeks awkward.

I assume you never stressed that it was his turn to vacuum the living room after that?

Ha! I am almost out, kid. Three more days until my parents come over. Six more days until I go home. Fourteen days till the dissertation due date.

Victory.

Unless I fail of course. Which is likely.

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:06 PM

Pretty much. It didn't stop the housemate who was held at knife point from having other arguments with him. She is slightly crazy though.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 10:10 PM

Maybe she had PMS at the time. Stabbing tends not to be a problem at that time of the month.

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:11 PM

She was drunk at the time, that might have helped. She can't hold her liquor, that's for damn sure.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 10:13 PM

Should have offered to drink it for her, to prevent further aggravated assault. Just being a good citizen. *hiccup*

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:18 PM

I was just an innocent bystander. All I wanted was to watch the Bear Grylls tv program in peace, but nooooooo, my housemate has to go crazy and force me to disarm him. If I hadn't seen the program before I might have been really ticked off.

Was it the one where he drinks from elephant dung? Or was it naked calisthenics?

I'd hate for housemates to get in the way of naked Bear Grylls calisthenics, but then I am female like that.

It was the one where him and his posh mate try and fly over Everest with a paramotor. It's a pretty cool one, I think it was a stand alone thing though.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 10:38 PM

Yeah, I vaguely remember hearing about that one. Didn't really register, because.. not naked or eating raw zebra meat torn straight off the dead animal or doing anything otherwise incredibly manly. Although he did get his kit off on the antarctic continent originally, so Everest had potential.

When I get a chance (i.e. when my housemate isn't downstairs), I will take a photo of her attempts to "make this place a home". I kid you not. Faux-satin ruffled couch cover. Fake plastic purple flowers. The mind boggles.

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:42 PM

Blimey, that all sounds a bit much.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 10:43 PM

We also have a 70s-style mustard yellow orange toaster and matching toastie maker now. This woman amuses me because I only have to put up with it for a short amount of time. I might be tempted to pick up a knife if it were a year long affair.

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:48 PM

That sounds practically criminal.

Leonie · 25-08-2008, 10:56 PM

Wait till you see photos. It's funny in the way that falling flat on one's face is - hilarious if it's not you. I have rarely seen more ugly objects, including half-naked past housemates.

duckula · 25-08-2008, 10:59 PM

This I have to see.
