1) When people buy beans & sausage, i eat the sausages and put the beans in the fridge. This really pisses people off but i'm not sure why. I don't like the beans because they taste of sausage and not beans. As we speak there are at least seven tins of sausageless beans in our fridge. People freak out, FREAK OUT.
2) When i get up every morning i go through the Sky menu and bookmark everything i want to watch that day. I don't know why this would piss people off, i don't even watch most of it, and if i'm not there they can easily just press a button to take the reminder off.
3) Weeing in the sink if someone's using the lavvy. It's not that unhygenic, it's urine, and it's a sink.
4) Leaving teabags on the side of the kitchen sink. It makes perfect sense, they're hot and wet, ffs. Leave them there 'til they've cooled down and dried and then chuck them, idiots.
5) Amassing a collection of empty alcohol containers. It's the right thing to do, why would i want to dispose of them as i use them, then i can't look at a whole sideboardful afterwards and be amazed.
You go...
You piss in the sink?
Mine don't like the fact that I brush my teeth in the shower.
it's at just the right hight...
to combine a piss and teethbrushing.
I'd just like to inform you at this point,
that pissing in the sink is wrong.
being generally anally-retentive re: tidiness and cleanliness.
And i DESPISE teabags being left to dry on the surfaces.
shitting on the sideboard.
relax! its a sideboard and a shite
pretty much all those things are wrong
you're an awful housemate
i agree with this
i think i'd hate living with you.
my answers were things like leaving dishes to soak in the sink.
Trying to have sex with them whilst they're aslepp
You seem wacky
^ ditto, but beardy
Come again?
THAT'S WHAT...
nevermind
2,4 and 5
are fine. 1 is wierd but not really annoying. 3 is only acceptable if you dont have a garden you could go water.
weeing in the sink is gross
as is leaving tea bags on the side. is it too far to go to the bin?
fire hazard.
how so?
i lived with a guy
who left tea bags on the side so you could use them again later.
*he
why would you want to use them again
To save money.
awful
I don't understand any of that.
My annoying habit is probably wanting to do the washing up straight after I've eaten. It means I get annoyed at people leaving washing up for longer than a day.
the guy who lives below...
takes his dog for walks and poopascoops, fair play to him on that, but then he leaves the bag of shit outside his front door until the next day. Now our entire block smells of a combination of dogshit, wet dog & TCP.
move house?
My flatmate has the litter tray in the kitchen for her cat. I WANT TO MOVE HOUSE. I've only been there for two months and I've started looking for somewhere else to live.
aw, really?
that's a shame! closer to dalston with you i say.
You are RIGHT
Festering dishes in a communal space is just not on.
^ yep
Washing up straight away is what winners do.
it makes it easier
to clean as the food is not crusted on and requiring a ten hour soak to get rid of it.
What are your long-term goals for the sausage-less beans?
disappearin for weeks around every single fucking rent day
knowing that ive had to do battle with the landlord to stop us being kicked out and knowing that I will just have to cover it to stop extortionate late fee
oh wait my bad habbits
I have none I am the perfect housemate
I used to live with someone
who kept putting the ketchup in the fridge. It did my head in because every time I fixed myself a ready meal I'd head straight to the cupboard the the Tommy K and it'd be in the fucking fridge again.
I suppose it annoyed me because I couldn't understand the logic in it - what's the point in putting cold ketchup on a hot plate? Surely it'd only end up at the same temperature as the rest of the plate in no time. Bonkers.
Following on from someone else's point, I always wash my dishes as soon as I'm done with them as well. Mainly because I know I won't bother if I haven't done them by the time the soaps come on.
People who put things in fridges that shouldn't go in fridges vex me.
Ketchup. Eggs. Apples. Probably some other things but that's all that springs to mind.
A friend of mine
keeps his deodorant in the fridge.
Fantastic.
I might storing impractical things in my fridge. My shoes. Pens. An iPod.
Nothing gets me as happy as a cold iPod in the morning.
or cordial.
Why would you need to put a bottle of cordial in the fridge, you're pouring cold water in it, ffs. My old flatmate used to keep crisps in the fridge, thought it was a bit weird at first but they definitely taste better. The other one we have rows about is the butter/marge situ. Keep it on the side, ffs, i'm sick of having fights with pieces of bread. Wow, i need to get out.
cordial was another one
put an ice cube in it once you've poured it out by all means, but putting it in the bloody fridge just doesn't fly.
Most of the time there was nothing in our fridge besides ketchup, cordial, brown bananas and a bottle of Pimm's nobody wanted. It's a miracle we didn't all end up with rickets.
Some people just like to keep
all open containers in the fridge. These are the same people who catch all known diseases and are always off sick.
I keep eye gel in the fridge but I'm 28 and like a good night out - it's a token effort to look fresh
i keep squash in the fridge
because it means i waste less water, because the intial water out of the tap is never cold.
Eggs in the fridge is normal
They last longer
i live with my family
i just make the mess, no cleaning up.
it just makes them
a bit stale and less nice...
i do 4+5 as well
and just generally leave stuff lying around. not intentionally, i just forget to move things back to where they belong.
i'm so glad i live alone.
1, 2 and 4 would irritate me a little
(what are you going to do with this collection of beans?). 5 would annoy me if it was in a communal area. 3 is disgusting and would make me throw a fit.
Other points:
- Ketchup keeps longer, and the consistency is better if it is put in the fridge.
- Apples taste so much nicer when they’re cold. Bananas don’t though.
- Eggs should be kept in the fridge. The reason that they are on the shelves in a supermarket is because supermarkets have to be regulated to a certain temperature.
Things I do:
- leave washing up to drain rather than wipe it up. It’s much more hygienic, but annoys at least one of my housemates.
- leave my astroboots in the hall overnight when I’ve played football. I’ve tried to argue that I don’t want to tread sand through the house, but it’s actually because I don’t want my room to smell.
Things I hate:
- people that leave saucepans in the sink to soak. Why not just put water in them and leave them on the side? At least that way I can run myself some water without getting dilute bolognese sauce over my glass.
- I get annoyed by people leaving lights on in the house, especially if they’re right outside my door.
- and also people that throw teabags into the bin from the other side of the room by rebounding it off the wall behind.
the pans in the sink
annoys me as well. you get a greasy film around the side of the washing up bowl as well as the aforementioned glass/bolognaise sauce interface.
SATIRE
i left hair in the shower once
and it was a lot of hair. (head hair, before anyone makes a hilarious joke)
other than that i'm perfect.
