Your annoying housemate stories?
Just wanna hear your stories of having lazy, annoying, messy, whatever housemates.
I moved into a 6 room house a while ago, there's 4 other guys and a girl. Everyone is cool except for one of them. I'm 18 and the other 4 are 18-22. This guy is 10 years older than us (28), doesn't go to uni, doesn't work (apparently signed on and I have no idea how he's dodging paying rent but he is), and just doesnt do anything.
Now this wouldnt be too bad if he say, helped clean up or wash up and generally help... but... He does **** all, he's actually the opposite! He makes huge messes, uses everyones cups, mugs, glasses, plates etc, (he's one of those people that'll come down with 2 plates a cup, put them in the sink, not wash them and get a new plate and cup and take them back up to his room.)
He never cleans up the atrocious messes he's made, has his music on max volume at 2am, and each weekend brings over tonnes of people that do drugs and **** (which annoys the rest of us). Now I've talked to my landlord about this and he's promised to come round but he hasnt as of yet. One of the other guys has been his mate for a few years so they share food and he'll generally back him up, but I really like that guy and I dont wanna fall out with him because of this spaz.
Ah well.. just ranting.

three of us living in our student home...... planned a night out, had a friend round, one house mate made a HUGE lasagna (for us to eat before she we went out and for her to have for dinner other days that week).... we invited our third house mate down for some dinner, to join us for a bit (even though she wasnt coming out)..... she never came down once... then once we'd gone out, thats when she came down and helped herself to the rest of the lasagna (and i mean practically ALL of it)!!!!!! how rude 
on another evenening we had a house party at ours for one of our mates (she had agreed to it) she never stepped foot downstairs once, she hid up in her room all night, never came down stairs to say happy birthday or anything...... no one believed us that she was even in!!!!

Some people are just very shy, though. Even if you are nice to them they may just find it hard to make the move to come out and join you all. One of mine is like that, but I don't think it's a bad thing- it's just how she is.
Probably shouldn't have eaten the lasagne, though

OP, it sounds like your housemate might be dealing drugs.

In my second year I lived in a house with the hairiest mong ever.
He had a big beard and he shed beard hair (at least I hope it was beard hair...) everywhere. I remember once when I was grilling some bacon, I turned the bacon over and there was a big black hair stuck on the back of it. Ugh. Also, when he emptied his washing from the washing machine, there was always a great big black hairball left in the window of the machine, which he refused to move. There was beard hair in the fridge, all over the dining room table, all over the carpet throughout the house. It was disgusting.

i remember when i was in halls, each corridoor (about 8 people) had its own toilet. there was always some random block that used to come to use our toilet for his number twos!!!...... funniest part of it was that he would always take his clothes of and hang them over the top while he was doing so!!!!

Maybe to tell people he was there...or maybe because he can't do it with clothes on. Trust me i know some people that can't do it with their clothes on, because they got into that routine as children or somehting, so i wouldn't say its funny.
Gaara.

ahh but why always use our toilet just for number two's.....why doesnt he use his own!!!!! he lived three corridoors down!!!
2 boys in mine used to play football in the corridor, which in halls meant that the crappy plasterboard would make louuud bangs. They broke a light fitting too then tried to get us all to share the cost of it! So cheeky. They'd use up all your pots and pans, so when you came to make dinner they'd all be dirty.. and of course you couldn't wash them up because even with a double sink(!) there was still piles of minging dirty dishes.
Hmm what else.. Oh yes, 4am drunken loud music and singing during the week (he was on his own in his room, wtf). One of the boys put a hole in the wall in the kitchen, then used the ironing board to hide it :/
The kitchen bin turned into a jenga tower because they didn't think to take the full binbag out and put a fresh one in. Oh and they never even took the bin bags down to the rubbish chute either. Resulting in threats from the cleaners of £5 fine per bin bag left in the kitchen.
Happy Days...

Or just wanted some time to herself, or to work or something (I like to see the good in everyone )

nightmare housemates yr 1 - food fights in the kitchen, didnt think it was up to them to take the rubbish out, cue 5 big bags of rubbish in the kitchen if i didnt do it. Body paint the whole way up the stairs (hand prints), shower stained red by said body paint. We all got the blame.
nightmare housemate yr 2 - took over the living room, watched tv all day, picked up the remote and changed channels even if i was watching something, left food to go mega-mouldy in the fridge over the summer (3 months....), left the back door open when it was cold outside making the whole house cold, bbq's by the back door, so the smoke would come in, late-night arguments with her boyfriend involving shouting, screaming and slamming of doors (...at 2am).
nightmare housemate yr 3 - doesnt change toilet rolls when they're empty, doesnt buy toilet rolls, uses everyone elses stuff and doesnt wash up properly so that whenever he gets ill, we all get it immediately as he uses our stuff, covers the whole bathroom with water when showering, doesnt open the window/use the fan during or after showering, so the bathroom is like a sauna and damp, leaves his hair everywhere and shaves leaving hair on the side of the sink, listens to loud music all the time, leaves front and back doors unlocked, doesnt take rubbish/recycling out to the bin, doesnt take rubbish/recycling to the front of the house for collection, leaves raw meat uncovered in the fridge, leaves food out generally for a disgusting amount of time, constantly makes a mess when cooking.....
woo yeah i've been dead lucky with housemates.....
