Depends on the plans I had for the next day.

#85

Your housemate’s gf/bf is staying over 4 nights a week minimum. They do their own laundry in the house. They live with their parents so the couple do not stay there. They are making no financial contribution to the household.

  • Ask for a financial contribution to the household. It’s only fair.
  • Quietly seethe and post online polls

If I thought I’d make great friends for life out of it I’d go see what’s going on.

#87

What I do now is make sure I have a clean set of crockery and cutlery in my room at all times so I can order takeaways and take them straight to my room without having to go via the kitchen.

If they stay over more than twice a week they’re technically a housemate, imho.

#89

I wish I had a mini fridge for my room too.

Depwnds… if she is cooking, I really hate cooking at the same time as her (we get in each other’s way) so I’ve been known to slope upstairs and eat some granola for dinner instead. If she’s there just getting a snack or lurking, I’ll happily chat.

depends. haven’t had the pleasure of living with a good friend in ages but still been in pretty friendly living situations with people i know for the last few years, so it’s all good.

in between i had a brief spell in a couple of houseshares with strangers and i was very socially anxious around them, spent a lot of time in my room, tried to avoid being in the kitchen/living room with them too much.

one house i lived in for 3 months, i eventually made a point of hanging around the living room with them, got on fairly well and it became a nicer place to live after that to be fair, sort of regretted leaving it so long. then moved to another house with no living room, everyone seemed a very disparate bunch of room dwellers, no one really talked to anyone. definitely put me on edge. thankfully was only there for a month.

#97

With the excpetion of the very odd older person whose, for example, partner might have passed away etc, would anybody choose to live in a houseshare beyond the age of about thirty? I dunno.

I live in one because it’s a lot cheaper, but then to some degree i probably would miss someone else knocking about, as much as my tolerence for other people is virtually nil. The thought of living alone seems less preferable than living with strange people for me, or even a partner, idk.

some overlap between these intervals oops cba fixing it

#100

20, plus however many were in this house

(think i spoke to 2 ever, for less than a minute each)

lived with 10 other people in halls so got a bit of a head start

#101

18, not including first year halls, it’d be 24/25 I think if it is

#102

i’d count halls on the basis that i lived with them

I forgot half of them and it doesn’t feel real to me, not like a proper house
