    Having to clean up every room myself in the house (kitchen, bathroom, living room) or otherwise suffer a disgusting mess which is not only probably damaging my health (get a lot of coughs in this house) but so messy that I'm positive a homeless person would refuse to live in it.

    Housemates banging every single ****ing door no matter what time of day or night, haven't had a single uninterrupted nights sleep this year. Inconsiderate ****s.

    I like how you're posting to complain that people don't accept that you have different interests and desires to what they have, yet all you're doing here is whining about what other people choose to do.

    Smells a lot of hypocrisy to me. :rolleyes:
    well in a small sentence i can say your comment is wrong.. .. here the situation of whining especially is totally out of our case..i just reply back to what other people said first..

    Okay, if any of my games or DVDs are in extreme cases, I'll put them in bland ones

    So I'm going to University next academic year. Grades provided of course!

    So I would like to know what one thing people do at University that they didn't do in school/college that's really annoying.

    E.g. Typing loudly in lectures; Stealing your food from the fridge; Pretending like they don't care about their results.
    How come, when there are so many things to look forward to, you're asking about what's gonna piss you off?

    I personally despise the people that laugh out really loudly in lectures. If nobody is laughing then the joke wasn't funny and you laughing at it just says you're a massive twot.

    Whenever people in my block decide to get drunk there is always about 20 of them in a massive group, and they seem to favour my boyfriend's kitchen (even if there's nobody from his flat with them...). They kept us up last night even though it's exam period, and have done on many occasions.
    They are ridiculously noisy, I don't know how they do it.

    I thought that was the sort of thing people did in school. There is someone in my tutor group who does discuss the assignment with me; but it's never "what's the answer to question 2?"
    Discussing the work is okay in some instances, but it's considered cheating at many universities. And people unfortunately do both, with no consideration for the fact that if they were to use my work, i can get in serious trouble as well. Not something i want to risk my degree over.

    causing a mess in the kitchen with your food/drink and then making you clear it up just caus its yours

    Had to clean the fridge out of milk because one of them left the bottle on its side overnight, then cleaned sauce of the floor because the jar got dropped

    When people complain about being poor & having no money and then go out and spent £40 on a Friday night.

    Forget how fortunate they are to be there in the first place, and that many people in the world do not even get an education to GCSE level, many don't have the opportunity to learnt to read and write properly etc etc.
    Don't you have somewhere else to be, Bono?

    rent a house with you because their boy/girlfriends ''dont want to live with them yet'' but then spend 24/7 day and night with their boyfriend/girlfriend anyway, so they may as well just have rented a house with them!

    People being really loud all the time. I'm not talking about the odd night when people come in drunk and wake you up. I'm talking about people who are loud all the bloody time. My housemate was up till roughly 7am every day for weeks once, which would have been fine if she didn't have friends over or watch the TV/play music loudly. She'd only sleep for a few hours then she'd wake up and be loud again. Then she'd complain she was tired and only had 7 hours sleep in 3 nights, poor her! Gaaaah! She pissed everyone off. We asked her to be quiet several times, but she didn't really care.

    She was such a hypocrite as well. Whenever anyone else was loud, she was always the first to complain and get very annoyed about it.

    I'm fine with being woken up from time to time. It's just when someone is being consistently inconsiderate that it pisses me off.

    As long as they pay rent I don't see how this is an issue.

    Not doing the washing up until you have no more crockery left. In our first year at Halls there was a block cleaner who threw away all the washing up, quite annoying esp if people use your crockery then don't wash it up and it gets thrown away

    Putting banana's in the fridge and forgetting them, then letting them rot everything the day after you've just been shopping and either need to buy from the expensive campus shop or spend another hour getting the shopping from Tesco's again.

    The Bulgarian couple next to you shouting at the top of their lungs at 3am for several hours, wondering why they are still together.

    Get offended when you shag someone against their bedroom door because apparently there is a "line" for banter. God, such wimps.

    Err, how about endlessly going on about their mum and dad and how much the aforementioned people give them in cash/food/love every term. Some of us don't have parents and having it rubbed in our faces everyday does get a tad wearing after a while. Of course I don't expect people never to mention their parents but doing so every beeping day still stresses me. It only been 2 years since mine had to leave me and the wounds are still quite deep.
