The options are endless as you scroll through the hot topics. So when we came across a thread titled &#8220;Flatmates from Hell&#8221;, we knew it had to be saucy. And something definitely worth sharing.<\/p><p>Firstly, there is the guy that just didn&#8217;t bathe. EVER.<\/p><p><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0Last year I moved in with my SO and his housemate (we have since moved again) and the guy we used to live with was disgusting. He was an avid gamer (nothing against that at all I spend most of my free time PC gaming and occasionally console too) but his room stank of a combination of jizz, BO and gone off food, and there was literally no floor space because everything covered in dirty clothes and plates. He would shower maybe once a week, never tidied up after himself (his mum would come around and tidy his room&#8230;bear in mind he&#8217;s in his mid 20s!) In the 7 months my SO lived with him he used the washing machine twice. Once because he got so drunk he puked over his bed, so technically only one clothes wash.&#8221;<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/99603862.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5374\" src=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/99603862.gif\" alt=\"99603862\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>And then we&#8217;ve got the guy (are we seeing a gender trend here???) who put laxatives in his flatmates milk.

Yes, THAT talk.<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0So, I went to the doctor the other week and they said I have an unknown (totally un-serious) bowel problem and the doctor prescribed me laxatives to clear my system out. I got home and told my flatmates and one of them took me aside and told me that I really shouldn&#8217;t take them.\u00a0It turns out that he had a pang of guilt and explained that he&#8217;d been spiking my milk with laxatives, but he was unsure what a double dose of laxatives would do so he warned me against taking them.&#8221;<\/p><p>It gets MUCH worse.<\/p><p><strong>3.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/flatmate-falls-in-love\/\">I lived with someone in my uni days<\/a> who continually did very strange things. For instance, I came home one day to find her attempting to cook an entire duck in my toaster oven. Those things are not very big.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>4.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThis girl I met once said she came home to find her lunchbox filled with water and some undies soaking in there.
