    What horrible people - how low can one get. Actually, my bully were little civilised in that respect.

    Cant the landlord just have an meeting with all of you. At least he will stay netural and then you can have everything in the open it may help clearing the air as there is a of tension in the house. He can at least set some rules - they may listen to him. Though since you are leaving soon - not sure you want to go down that route.

    I live in a shared house. He's asked his parents but his house is tiny and he's not sure if there's room...also I hate imposing myself on people. I'm moving out to be with him in about two weeks but until then...well it's very bad here
    Your situation sounds horrible, I don't know how you have put up with it for so long! I was going to suggest punching the biggest bitch in the face on the day you move out, but she would probably call the police and say you tried to kill her or something..

    She must be pretty miserable if she's being such a complete c u n t.
    I don't really have any advice but hang in there, just 2 more weeks and you'll be rid of them forever!

    And don't take it to heart, even if you had done something to upset her at some point it doesn't warrant that kind of treatment. Even if you had been unpleasant it doesn't mean you should feel so uncomfortable in your own home. They're just horrible psychotic bitches.

    My thoughts exactly and if I can still laugh about it, I'm ok. I'm not even very good at child safe bleach caps, so I can just imagine standing there by the kettle struggling to get it open the whole thing is ridiculous...I'm just glad I'm not them

    Well the night before the kettle thing they came in and "spoke" to me and it was...ok...I thought we could be civil. But nope, apparently I want to poison them now :s no point talking to them they are MENTAL and believe their own lies

    My concern is that maybe bottling everything up. Actually, I tried to ignore the bullying and concentrated on my studies but only after I left university my experiences just shattered me and went into breakdown mode. Though you seem quite resilence and you do have a boyfriend, student forum and other people to turn to which will help you vent the frustration. Unfortunately I had no one. Make sure you try to release the pend up anger and frustration it will help you in the long run.

    We're looking at flats and I'm trying to find a job and finish my dissertation. So not quite, but focusing on escaping's made me feel a bit better!

    Three of them have gone! but the two left seem to be intent on making my life more of a misery than ever. They insist on boiling water for tea in a saucepan because of the bleach kettle thing pointedly in front of me, just now they went out and switched all the lights off so I came out of my room into darkness. One of them left her washing in the machine all day so I took it out and put mine in because I have an interview tomorrow and need stuff. Now she's come crashing back and I'm scared to death she'll do something horrible

    Move out in the summer. You will look back on this and laugh. But I sympathize - there's nothing worse than living with people you dont like and furthermore who try and bully you. Maybe you could try taking some evidence just in case they actually do something? You could use it against them, maybe tell their uni and give them a real scare.

    This is disgusting behaviour which could possibly be accepted in 5 year old but 20 year old WHAT THE HELL?! However, you know why they do this to you? It's because they can, and they know they can. Because you LET them. I don't want to make digs at you or try and justify their behaviour but you can make this stop - they do it because you show them no consequences, you simply let them walk all over you. I'd strongly suggest either talking to your Uni about the problem or next time one of the girls does something ask her what her problem is. Guaranteed she will say something like "Oh, we were only having a laugh"; at which point you say "Well, it's not funny, so stop it". If they don't stop start doing it back, get in her face, bring people in to defend you. Anything that shows your not intimidated by her. Don't run away, because that makes her feel like she's won.

    They don't seem like the sort that will listen but do either of of three things
    1) try talking to them + telling them how you feel
    2) play their games do exactly the same and see how they like it
    3) move out! You don't deserve this immaturity

    Why do you say they are trying to make your life even more a misery. I think they have already tormented you more earlier. The kettle incident is trivial as is the washing machine. What else can they do - do you think they will get some revenge ?

    well, I have a move out date of 25th May-ten days time!!! cannot WAIT!

    The housemates aren't in the house at the moment...it's all very quiet and peaceful, but I have heard rumours that they will be back in force some time this week. Maybe they'll return my roll of bin bags/bleach when they get back as well...but probably not.

    You should celebrate by getting drunk on the 25th May - its been an extremely very hard year for you. I think you could use a holiday too.

    I guess none of your housemates will be on your christmas card list this year

    I'm so happy to hear this did your uni know about this (as you mentioned about your dissertation earlier in the thread)?

    Wow, that sounds horrible. I don't think there will be any reasoning with these people. If I were you I would probably try to move out - I'd move without telling them beforehand and leave them a letter explaining my reasons (in an attempt to maybe make them feel as guilty as possible if it'd make me feel better).

    Edit: I didn't realise this was an old thread. Hope things have moved to a better situation now.
