What are / is the most disgusting student house situation you have ever witnessed. I can imagine that people's houses at the end of the year will be the worst? Share your horror stories here and post pictures if necessary!
Ours is usually fine, but we got 2 new flatmates last month and it's a nightmare. Me and my flatmate came back from being away all weekend, found 2 binbags festering in the hall that had been there for 3 days and no one had been arsed to take them out so the hall stank. Piles of dishes had been left, which I wouldn't care about, except for the fact that they'd used our pots, plates etc and just left them. They have a lot of friends over to cook, drink, etc. I just went into the kitchen about an hour ago, and the smell is absolutely disgusting. The same dishes have been lying in the basin for about.. 2 weeks now I think? They smell so bad, but I refuse to clean up after them because I'm not their mother. They're a good few years older than me too, it's pathetic.
Hmm there were mice in the walls, mice in the cupboards, slugs in the kitchen, mould on the wallpaper, damp in the carpets, dry rot on the ceilings... Found a mouse under the cushions in the sofa which had been squashed and quite clearly dead for some months as it had started to decompose, washing up left for weeks at a time, stuff in the fridge which was months past the use by date...
My first student house, grotty as **** but had some good times there
My sister while at uni once got up to find a dead rat inside the toaster! Had obviously squeezed in there to get to the crumbs then promptly decapitated when one of her poor flatmates made their breakfast! Thankfully she said she had not used that toaster in quite some time.

Didn't the other flatmate realise?! I dread to think what the toast must tasted like...

Exactly what I thought, she said they had been wondering where the smell was coming from for a while. But now you know, if theres ever a mysterious smell in your kitchen, check the toaster!

That sound just like my first student house. Mould everywhere including spreading onto the clothes in the wardrobe.... My mate went to drink from his pint glass in the night and found slugs in it.... At one point there were 14 unwashed plates lying around the living room growing colonies.... The back door was kicked in and never fixed... We went 2 weeks without a toilet because one guy fell out of the shower when he was drunk and smashed it... At one point we kept finding **** (literally human ****) in the bath tub... Someone was sick in the sink all over the dishes and as no-one would own up we just left it...
But by god did we have a good time.
I should also mention that the rest of my housemates moved after I left to go to the states, and if anything their next house was worse. It was literally a squat with no furniture and holes in the floor.

ARG. Rant over.
Atleast wash your own stuff then. If they have common sense they'll probably realise what the deal is.

Haha we had a similar toilet situation. No working toilet for a couple of weeks as it had been blocked by the next door neighbours. Everytime they flushed their toilet the contents of what they had just flushed would come out of ours and flow onto the floor
Gotta love student housing. The general rule is the more grotty the place is the more fun you have.

Yeah, I have so many good memories of that place. I remember bringing a girl back from a club and her being so revolted by the state of the kitchen it literally made her throw up.
