Speaker 1: Mitch, have you ever had like a housemate from hell?
Speaker 2: My ex? But what did you do? Let'sn't get into
Speaker 2: that dot.
Speaker 1: Really have you ever lived with anyone other than a
Speaker 1: partner or your parents where you've just you know, because
Speaker 1: like sometimes you think you've met like the perfect housemate
Speaker 1: and you move in. It's great for six months because
Speaker 1: everyone's on best behavior, and then as time unfolds and
Speaker 1: as their true self comes out, you realize, actually you're
Speaker 1: living with someone who's Satan on earth.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: When I lived in New York, I lived with a
Speaker 4: girl who would do yoga every morning, and she'd play
Speaker 4: like her yoga music on her Yui boom speaker, so
Speaker 4: I'd wake up to like, you know, a river fountain
Speaker 4: and Balinesian noises, and that would annoy me, That would
Speaker 4: piece me off.
Speaker 1: That's your version of the housemate that actually sounds so
Speaker 1: serene and nice, like wake up with the sunshine, wake
Speaker 1: up with some tinkering bells because.
Speaker 2: I sleep in it and annoyed me at the time.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I have some doozies of a story for you.
Speaker 1: But the reason I want to talk about this I
Speaker 1: came across an article that was online there's a Reddit thread, right,
Speaker 1: and this guy was asking for advice. So every and
Speaker 1: this is happening over and over again, where he wakes up,
Speaker 1: or he goes downstairs to the kitchen and realizes that
Speaker 1: his housemate has left the gas on.
Speaker 2: Oh's on the stove, so he'll.
Speaker 1: Cook something recklessly, leave all the crap around after he's
Speaker 1: finished cooking, doesn't clean up. But more so it's the
Speaker 1: fear and the worry about something dangerous happening because he
Speaker 1: constantly leaves the gas on the stove, right, and so
Speaker 1: then how you get out.
Speaker 2: Of this situation?
Speaker 1: But the reason why I thought of this is because
Speaker 1: it reminded me of this housemate that I used to have.
Speaker 1: So I when I was in my twenties, I lived
Speaker 1: with this guy and did you no, no, No, he
Speaker 1: was no. He was like in his early twenties. He
Speaker 1: was like a real boy boy and we we didn't
Speaker 1: really know each other. I found him on like housemate
Speaker 1: dot com and he never let anyone go into his bedroom.
Speaker 1: He was always like, my room is out of bounds.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I have no interest in going
Speaker 1: into your bedroom either.
Speaker 2: Well, I've heard a lot of true crime podcasts that
Speaker 2: start like this, and all he.
Speaker 1: Was doing was like playing video games in there. But
Speaker 1: he had a long distance boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, Oh, what progressive of you, gay housemate in
Speaker 2: the nineties.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, gay house mate wasn't the nineties.
Speaker 2: I just got that shut up.
Speaker 1: So not that long ago anyway, Okay. I walked into
Speaker 1: his room one day he was out and I needed
Speaker 1: to go, and always stunk because he was dirty, dirty
Speaker 1: boy and never cleaned anything, didn't wash his clothes, always
Speaker 1: left food in there. And I walked in there this
Speaker 1: one day and there was a big black garbage bag
Speaker 1: just on the floor next to his bed where he'd
Speaker 1: been throwing all of his rubbish and stuff in, and
Speaker 1: then a roll of toilet paper and scrunched up balls
Speaker 1: of toilet paper all around the bed. One can only
Speaker 1: imagine totally what he had been doing.
Speaker 2: Signus infection for her.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, he had a long distance boyfriend.
Speaker 2: That's what that ties me.
Speaker 1: And then and then wait for it, then when he
Speaker 1: moved out, so he moved into my apartment that was
Speaker 1: fully furnished. And when he moved out and we had
Speaker 1: the truck came and he was like putting his things
Speaker 1: on the truck, and I remember walking outside and I
Speaker 1: was like, hold on, why are some of my furniture
Speaker 1: on his truck. He tried to take things with him
Speaker 1: because he was like, oh, she doesn't really use that anyway.
Speaker 2: Oh he sounds terrible. Yeah, yeah, he totally turned Well.
Speaker 4: Listen, thirteen one or sixty five calls are coming through, Daniel,
Speaker 4: what's your housemate?
Speaker 2: From hell? Hit us?
Speaker 5: Ah, Look, that one about not going into the room
Speaker 5: just absolutely hit home. I had one similar where he
Speaker 5: just like it was one of my first places. I'd
Speaker 5: helped him out, and so we were living and we
Speaker 5: went in there when we had to move out, and.
Speaker 1: In there was just.
Speaker 5: Like plates of food like chicken we'd eat and a
Speaker 5: week ago were using bowls as ash trays, clothes every right. Now,
Speaker 5: the thing is is we were moving out, we packed
Speaker 5: up the rest of the house. He's already four hours
Speaker 5: like to help us pack up everything. Absolutely human. So
Speaker 5: we got our own back a little bit. So we
Speaker 5: were disgusted, so we just grabbed garbage bags. We're like, oh,
Speaker 5: you must love this stuff so much. He didn't put
Speaker 5: in the bin. So we put all the clothes in
Speaker 5: the bag, all of the leftover.
Speaker 2: Food, rubbish. Good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just put all in there, wrapped it up
Speaker 5: in a cupboard, stuck it out the back and said, well,
Speaker 5: the house is clean. He don't have to come and
Speaker 5: help us.
Speaker 2: Now, brilliant.
Speaker 1: Was he moving out with you to a new place?
Speaker 1: Was he moving out and going somewhere else as well?
Speaker 1: You guys are parting ways?
Speaker 5: Oh, the friendship was already well and truly burned it.
Speaker 5: I've only got four people on my waist of oxygen list,
Speaker 5: and these one.
Speaker 4: Of them waste of oxygen list.
Speaker 2: I want to get one of those who don't want
Speaker 2: a list like that. Noel was on that list.
Speaker 5: You're probably you gotta work. You have to work pretty hard.
Speaker 2: To get on all right, Thank you, buddy, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Good call.
Speaker 1: There's so many people who have horror stories when it
Speaker 1: comes to housemates. It's so precarious because you don't know
Speaker 1: what you're getting into until they're living in your space totally.
Speaker 4: And that's why I live at home with my parents
Speaker 4: twenty eight That's why that's the only reason I don't
