What's your worst housemate story?
Posted by AdaandFred@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 93 comments
Inspired by the thieving housemate thread and the story within it of someone's housemate who used to shit in the garden....
Mine is probably mundane to what some people have lived through but it was the drug dealer who would get high on his own supply and get into fights in/outside clubs, meaning we had regular visits from the police. I put up with it cos it was London and the rent was reasonable but I knew I needed to leave that house the day I got up to find a shit on the bath mat.

She was the most low functioning adult I've ever seen. But lacked the self awareness to know it.
We almost couldn't move in because she left it so late to sign the contract and had gone on holiday and wasn't answering the phone to the estate agents. She said she'd paid the bills but actually hadn't and we ended up with a court summons. I ended up with all the bills in my name. She left food in her room and ended up with a mouse. Didn't do anything about it for weeks then made a joke about it. I said she needs to get a trap immediately because they breed and are so destructive. She said she'd look into it. Long story short I bought the traps and got rid of the mouse it caught. She then met someone and wanted to move in with them and tried to sublet the room without telling me or the landlord. Then got angry with me when I told the landlord because she was trying to organise me living with a stranger behind my back. She got angry and was really rude to the landlord because he approached her with a really polite email that stated she'd been late on rent and asked if she could kindly pay.
When she moved out she told me she'd "got sick of doing things for me"!! Bear in mind she also had a disciplinary for being late to work so I'd started driving her to work, bought everything for the house that was shared, basically took care of everything including her. My sister had cancer and had a newborn and I was also having to help them and she didn't once ask how my sister was. It's almost funny my housemate thought she did anything for me at all. This woman is in her 30s.

You're too nice a person.
KimbaTheLion@reddit
I thought at first I was helping someone who struggles a lot but she wasn't even grateful and actually turned out to be actively a pretty nasty person. I think her partner brought out a much worse side in her too
bearlyentertained@reddit
I actually have one! It's a really long one so ill put it in bullet points:
That was enough for me to leave the house. I left a month later, it was very awkward and they didn't even say goodbye to me, after being best friends for 3 years and living together that entire time.
All in all, I was just disappointed, let down, and felt thrown under the bus, not only by Friend A who went back on his word, but by Friend B who didn't say what he actually felt, causing a stalemate and argument between me and Friend A. All I was doing from the beginning was trying to help Friend B because he came to me saying he didn't want her staying over.
Unfortunately, these were my only friends. I moved back to my mums house and have been there ever since. I would rather have 0 friends that 2 friends who treat me the way they did.

Three immediately spring to mind.
One was the messiest person I've ever met. Their room resembled a hoarding den. A clear path from the door to the bed but the rest was just random piles of stuff covering every inch of the floor. They'd never do the dishes, but cooked everything from scratch so my first duty when coming home from work was to tackle the dishes. Every single day.
Were always late with rent too, had to make very firm demands for money every other month. I'm convinced that their parents were the ones paying.
Final straw was when they invited friends over for a Xmas dinner party then buggered off to family for Xmas leaving me to clean up after a 12-person party all by myself. They were invited to leave.
One was a recovering addict who had been stuck in a half-way home for ages after having completed a residential rehab course, surrounded by other addicts with fighting and stealing being the norm. They were actually a very good housemate. Clean, tidy, went to college, polite, always paid on time, a model housemate.
Until they disappeared one day. Had to deal with their family, addiction sponsors, police, college staff and many others all asking what had happened, where they had gone and other such stuff. Not sure why I got dragged into the search but I became an amateur sleuth trying to track down other acquaintances to work out what had happened. All the time this was happening, their stuff was still in their room and I was getting no rent. Eventually after a few months they popped up on the other side of the country alive and well. Didn't want their stuff back so that all went in the bin and I got the room rented out again.
One was a friend of a friend who had just broken off an engagement and was looking for a place to stay for a few months before finding their own pad. An absolute nightmare. On the rebound, out drinking and clubbing every other night of the week, different partner brought home every night at 4am, loud music, sex sounds, things started going missing, zero contribution to housework. Kicked them out after two months.
BINGGBONGGBINGGBONGG@reddit
i lived in a legendary essex house share in the early 90s. it was an absolute shithole, but it was also sometimes amazing.
apart from Barbara. Barbara wouldn’t do her washing up. Barbara coloured someone else’s dog in with felt tips in the night. Barbara shaved her head and refused to wear shoes even in winter. and worst of all, Barbara really, really loved Enya.
that was the point at which we fell out. it triggered a sound war which i comprehensively won by putting the Prodigy on repeat at top volume, turning my speakers to face her wall and leaving the house for the day.
this was also the house share where someone ripped the kitchen worktop away from the wall trying to hack a frozen chicken into small enough bits to go in the microwave. in the middle of the night. also the girl who moved into a downstairs room and then completely failed to clean it until she was kicked out 6 entire months later. there was a layer of rubbish on the floor and a very fat family of mice that it turned out she had been deliberately feeding.
we don’t discuss the time someone tried to unblock the upstairs toilet with a sword.

They could (like me) live up north where back in the late 00s you could easily get a studio with bills included for like £300.
I had a 1 bed house to myself in Leeds for £450 all in and that was in 2017.

I lived in Manchester in the early 2010s and even back then studio flats were regarded as being very expensive
KeithLimePie@reddit
Depends where abouts you were living I guess. I was in a less desirable area than Leeds city centre but it didn't bother me one bit. The house was mint. Area was sound.
PetersMapProject@reddit
It was south Manchester; the bit that gave the city its 'Gunchester' moniker a few years earlier.
Rent was a lot cheaper back then - around £80 per week + bills for a room in a house share - but the minimum wage was £6.08 per hour... a studio flat was still regarded as absolute profligacy.
KeithLimePie@reddit
Ah right yeah I get what you're saying now. That house in Leeds was a right find, was also in the south of the city as it goes 😅 right near Elland Road. Moved in in 2014 and they didn't put the rent up once even with fluctuating energy prices etc.

I've stayed in some absolutely shitty places, the one where the landlord just put carpet over massive gaping holes in all the floors was particularly memorable but it was at least solely mine. The only time I've ever shared with anyone other than my partner or family was at university and it was in their student accommodation. I cannot imagine anything more horrendous than living with random strangers as an adult. housing costs in this country are unbelievable and you should at least be allowed your own space
Budlight4life@reddit
Minimum wage isn’t enough to rent a one bed flat pretty much everywhere in the uk.Getting your own place means sharing with other people.
lhr00001@reddit
There's places like Paisley or Dundee where you can get bedsits for £500 odd but that's not the point, nobody should have to do that as an adult. And it's not me speaking from a place of oh look I have piles of money or my parents pay my rent. I've been lucky enough to find places, I get that, not everyone is that lucky or is willing to live in crappy housing. But being forced to live with strangers because there's nowhere else is dire. And I stand by that, people deserve privacy and their own space
buttmunch1416@reddit
And that's really sad

I had one who stole my deposit. What pisses me the most is that she was really posh but pretended she was poor. But when I mean posh, I mean like REALLY posh. She went to Swiss boarding schools, then an Ivy League school in the US, but she's from a developing country where most people live below the poverty line. She used to look down on me because I wasn't rich, and had some weird conversations saying that I should quit my 9-5 job because it wasn't paying well and travel the world instead (like... yeah...). Anyway, she used to say to her friends that she only shopped at Zara but I knew that she was actually shopping at Chanel, Balenciaga, etc. One day, she was speaking to her boarding school friend in the kitchen in English then suddenly switched to French because I was getting there. What she didn't know is that I also speak French. They were shit talking about my hair and clothes, making fun of me because I shop at Uniqlo (wtf?????). That mf still managed to steal my money.

How about an actual murder attempt. Happened in a houseshare in London.
AssociationEasy5346@reddit
I lived in a house share in North London and one of the girls didn’t change her bed sheets for the entire year we lived there. When we removed old bin bags from her room at the end, mice came running out. You could smell her bedroom every time you walked down the hallway

My son worked with a woman who had a personal odour problem. She turned up to work one morning with a chocolate bar stuck to the back of her sweater. She didn't stay long there, apparently her work wasn't up to scratch like her hygiene.
AdaandFred@reddit (OP)
I had a housemate like that in South London. I never saw him wash himself, his bedding or his clothes the whole time we lived together. He also kept his curtains closed so his room was rank. I don't understand how people can live like that.

Mental illness.
Sophyska@reddit
Housemate let “friends” of theirs move into the spare room. Turns out they were smoking crack in there and also got really into collecting and restoring antique brass so had endless trinkets and brass items. They robbed 2 of the 3 other bedrooms whilst we were out and they stole my tent. Had to threaten them with police to get them to leave. They left their brass collection behind.
One of many, many stories from my time in that house share.

Four of us students shared a rather grotty house in Birmingham in the early nineties. One of the four was especially hard up and eating economy burgers almost exclusively. These things bleed a lot of fat into the grill while cooking and we had to explain to him that tipping that down the sink was a bad idea. So instead he decanted the economy burger fat into glass jars, adding wicks and calling them candles.
These candles smelled really bad when burning. Otherwise, if left alone, they would eventually turn green and smell even worse.
I believe he ended up working at Dixons.

Friend’s housemate used to eat cereal in his room but never bring the bowls out to be washed. So one time my friend went in to retrieve a bowl and discovered the housemate was also using them to throw his used condoms in. Combination of mouldy cereal and old sex juice. 🤢
AdaandFred@reddit (OP)
Please tell me the rest of the housemates kept their (clean) bowls in their rooms after that?

Luckily he moved out soon after and they got a normal clean person instead! I just can’t fathom who would be having sex with him.

I lived in an all girls houseshare at uni, one moved out and was replaced by a guy (we were fine with this, we didn't live all girls on purpose!) The first morning there, he hung out of the window and barked at the postman. Ok, a bit weird but we laughed it off as him trying hard to be edgy.
A couple of months in, we woke up to the smoke alarms going off. He'd taken the fire blanket off the wall & thrown it outside, pulled a load of wallpaper off, filled the grill with it and turned the grill on.
He told the police he was just trying to smoke us all out so he could kill himself in peace.
Later on we discovered the uni had a note on his file saying under no circumstances should he be housed with females. (Not sure how we found this out or who told us, it was nearly 20 years ago)

I lived in a house share where one of the residents had the nickname "Crazy Wayne".
One day I get home from seeing my girlfriend and Crazy Wayne was sat in the living room, drinking a giant bottle of Stella and staring absently at the ceiling.
I go "alright Wayne?".
Wayne goes "I think I killed someone".
I ask "err, what?"
Wayne goes "I was drink driving and I hit someone and drove off".
I go to take the bins out then I go the pub across the road that I know a couple of my housemates were in. I explain the situation and we investigate. Turns out Wayne was so drunk, he hit a plastic bollard and thought it was a person.
He got kicked out the house a few weeks later because he stopped paying his rent.

Lived in a house share with the most grotty mother fucker who never cleaned his room or bedsheets. You could smell his room no matter where you were in the house, and he just left a trail of mess and destruction behind him wherever he went.
Eventually, he and his Mrs put hid duvet in a bath to clean it and the water was black. For whatever reason they felt the need to post a picture of it on Facebook. Filthy cunts.

Housemate stole a 21 year old bottle of whiskey from my bedroom, because he had a toothache. Same housemate lost his key, I lent him mine when I went to work as he'd be home well before me. I finished midnight, he was normally up until later. I got home to find the house locked and all lights off. Phone off. Turned out he went out for the night and crashed somewhere else. I ended up having ti sleep in the shed when it was November in Britain.

Mean-Lynx-8507@reddit
Began to steal things in progressive quantity and of progressive value. At first it was random stuff from the fridge or toiletries that didn’t belong to her so naturally I didn’t really notice and/or assumed I’d used it and forgotten to replace it. Then it became more often and bigger things combined with actual money.
Long story short, I gently confronted her one day and she looked at me with a completely straight face before bursting into tears and explaining that it wasn’t her…. Apparently the apartment was haunted and we had spirits who were taking these items (only from me, of course) but she’d been afraid to mention them to me in case it sounded like she was making up stories in an effort to divert suspicion away from herself.
Imagine that.
bookishnatasha89@reddit
I lived in one house from 18 to 21.
There was one couple who were just a bit dodgy - they used to buy games consoles and stuff on loan and and rather pay the loan off they would try to sell it on. They tried stealing my computer tower to sell the copper on and they tried to frame me for stealing another housemate's food - until they stole my food by mistake. They ended up on Jeremy Kyle a few years later as he claimed to not be the dad of her son. (He was and last time I talked to her he has nothing to do with him.)
There was another couple who barely washed and their bedroom was an absolute state full of crap too.
When I first moved in the landlord tried flirting with all the girls who lived there, supposedly he was sleeping with one so she'd get cheaper rent.
Coincidentally I moved into that house 18 years ago this year, and on recent house listings the bathroom and kitchen are still decorated the same so the landlord clearly stopped caring too.

There will be worse on here, but this is one of mine.
Uni flatmates TV was blazing loud from around 7 pm. I had an early lecture in the morning but assumed he'd turn it down around 9-10, which didn't happen. As it got later the noise was driving me insane. Knocked a bunch of times to no answer. I assumed he couldn't hear me over the tv. When I finally bashed on the door harder it swung open and the tw*t wasn't even in his room. Just left it cranked and went out for the night.
He was also one of the vainest, most self absorbed people I've ever met, so at least he was consistent I guess...

Dickhead Dave. He was an alcoholic that really liked to listen to and sing along to Elvis and Oasis, and only those. If I didn't hate them before then, it would have driven me to.
It didn't matter the time of day, could be 3pm, 10am, 4am.
He was quite nice when he was sober, but very much not when he was pissed, which was most of the time.

forgot to pay £10 for the wifi that month. he told me to end my own life and then pissed in my clothes drawer :/
hunsnet457@reddit
Lived with a nutjob who would ‘misremember’ everything to be more negative or hostile than it was.
You could have simple small talk with him about the weather but 2-3 days later his version of events would be that you argued with him or insulted him. Then he’d tell other people that version of events.
This went on for 2 years to the point where once of his work colleagues actually called the police on me because he told her I was physically abusing him - I was not - when we got to the bottom of it this all started from a conversation where I asked him to stop stealing my socks (he didn’t own any), that conversation went no further than that…
Towards the end I explicitly refused to interact with him outside of texts, recorded conversation or if someone else was present.
We have a few distant mutual friends and to this day I have to correct stories he’s told about me.
Unusual_Resident_784@reddit
i lived with 3 other students in 2010, the bathroom was directly in front of my bedroom and I had my ps3 on a desk but the way it was set up means I had my back to the door. was deep into Fallout 3 one time when I could here what sounded like quiet splashing, turned around to see my Iranian housemate having a shite with bathroom door wide open. this happened a few more times after this before he realised its customary to close the door when your having a shit, especially with 2 women in the house.
Kitty-Gecko@reddit
Roommate had his room directly above mine in a converted attic room with big roof windows and left them open when he went away overnight. It rained heavily and his floor (my ceiling) collapsed and smashed down on my bed and dresser.
I was away for the weekend too or presumably would have seen warning signs like leaking. It damaged loads of my stuff and he never even said sorry or offered to replace anything. Lost his security deposit obviously.
0nce-Was-N0t@reddit
Probably not the worst, but funny.
Had a housemate who had never lived away from home before.
They thought that to unblock a toilet, you keep flushing.
We ended up with shit water flooding the upstairs bathroom and running through the floor and down the kitchen walls which was below.
Jarcooler@reddit
In uni halls I was in an 8 person flat with one bathroom. One of the girls in the flat was completely blind with glass eyes from childhood glaucoma, she didn't really have any specialist support and was just put in regular halls.
The first week she went out drinking with her brother, came home and was sick all over the bathroom. All over the floor, toilet seat, side of the bath, on the walls. It was fucking grim. None of us really knew what to do and we didn't think we could ask a blind person to clean it up.
Nobody wanted to be the one cleaning up the sick, so it just stayed there for a few weeks and formed a kind of crusty patina of dried vomit across the room.
DameKumquat@reddit
Was a lodger with a mad artist landlady, who was away a lot so that was mostly fine.
One night I came home to find a dozen firemen poking around. Apparently she and a new bloke had tried plumbing in a washing machine in the bathroom, while coked out of their wee minds, and had created a gas leak, and a small fire.
Gas team were on their way, but they suggested I grab my key documents and go spend the evening in the pub down the road with my housemate.
Took them until midnight to confirm the place was safe. Landlady thought everyone was overreacting.
Actual housemates weren't too bad beyond the guy who didn't wash up so we put all his dishes in his bed. Which didn't work until the night he pulled...

I had a guy who used to piss in bowls in his bedroom, went in one day and there were about size bowls and a 2 litre coke bottle just full.of piss. His room was next to the bathroom as well.
Educational-Angle717@reddit
Worst I had used to lock me out of my own house regularly. He knew I had a pretty active social life and so was out quite a lot. He was aware of this but insisted on puting our inside chain on regulalry meaning that when I came in late at night I couldnt get in. He would also then refuse to answer his phone meaning I would regularly just bang on the door of my own home to be let in. Night mare it was.
blazesboylan91@reddit
Had exactly this too, with a live-in landlord. What an absolute bellend he was.
BobbyPotter@reddit
Urgh my old neighbours used to do this, we shared an entrance through a shop and then had separate flats upstairs (my uncle owned the shop and they were friends of his so he trusted us to go through as and when we pleased). They would slide the thing on the lock meaning the key wouldn't work from the outside, and because the flat was up above the shop they wouldn't hear me knocking/shouting. So fucking annoying.

"psycho" John, liked his Charly, burst into my bedroom in the middle of the night to scream at me that he was the best flatmate ever and if I couldn't get on with him then I couldn't get along with anyone and should live alone. I kinda lay there half wondering how ugly this might get and half absently pondering the absurdity of his premise. then slept with a knife beside the bed. best flatmate ever tho tops
Hefty_Tip7383@reddit
Was renting a room off someone who was renting the entire flat, and I had intimated I was possibly thinking to move out at some point. Over one Christmas period I was away from the flat for a couple of weeks when my girlfriend (who didn’t live there) passed away. My flatmate texted me about something inconsequential (but not knowing this) so I let her know what had happened. With no emotion she carried on texting about nothing, including leading up to asking me to move out as she had a friend needing a place. It was at that point I realised she was a sociopath.
martyrees76@reddit
Had one who when he moved out had left a half eaten burger next to his bed (well, mattress ) it had been there next to where he’d been sleeping for so long the polystyrene container was full of flies.
That’s not the worst thing though - he’d left behind a 2 litre lilt bottle that definitely didn’t contain Lilt. I’ve never smelled something so horrendous (and I work in care) I can only guess it contained every bodily fluid imaginable (EVERY) and had also been left stewing for months. In the heat
Different-Employ9651@reddit
I lived with a guy who would sleepwalk. He once pissed in my wardrobe while I was asleep in my room. Also lived with a girl who would stash used sanitary products in a little bag under her bed. The hallway had smelled like something died for days, and our other housemate was (correctly) convinced that the smell was from the newcomer. We'd asked if she noticed the smell, she blushed but denied all knowledge, so my OG housemate went in like a fucking sniffer dog while she was out and came out pretty quickly with a stinking bag full of absolute horror.
AdaandFred@reddit (OP)
Did you confront her?
Different-Employ9651@reddit
My OG housemate did. It was brutal. When the newcomer came back, OG told her she found what the smell was and it was in her room. The girl went pale and OG held out the bag she found. Newcomer packed up her shit and went right then. I felt bad but also relieved.
PetersMapProject@reddit
Top of my list is the housemate who decided that - when I was sat down eating dinner and minding my own business - he'd drop his trousers in front of me and ask for sex.
He also spent most of that year making the entire house stink of weed, and randomly moved an Australian girl into his room for a month.
But honestly I've been pretty lucky on the whole. I've done many forms of house sharing, for about 12 of the last 15 years, and I've very few horror stories to tell. One housemate introduced me to my partner, another to my dog, others have remained friends long after we moved out. But there is an art to house sharing successfully.
peculiar-pirate@reddit
I think mine are pretty tame in comparison to these stories, but here I go:
- In first year a guy threw up in the kitchen sink and left it to fester for hours. Then he went around trying to blame everyone in the flat including a girl who was vegan and it was obviously not her as the vomit had meat in it.
- In second year I was lead tenant and had to collect the rent for the landlord. We agreed to pay the rent a couple of days in advance in case there was an issue. When someone didn't meet the deadline, I was bit annoyed and told them that they should've told me in advance. They got very upset and quite angrily told me that their family was struggling financially, so I felt like a piece of shit. A month later, their family came to visit us in the house and they came in a range rover, wearing posh clothes and then suggested that we should make lots of expensive renovations to the house, so I am very skeptical that they were struggling financially.
OrganizationFun2140@reddit
New lodger disclosed relatively minor mental health issues prior to moving in. No problem with that, been dealing with depression for years and other tenant has PTSD. Turns out, she actually has several distinct personalities. (Sound BS, I know, but I witnessed it.) Again, not a deal-breaker, although more concerning. Well, at least one of those personalities was very unsafe and extremely volatile. She wanted a cat but I was clear in the ad this wasn’t possible due to me having terriers, so her “solution” was to repeatedly “accidentally” leave the door and gate open. The one time a dog went missing, she “helped” me look and when I got a call from the local vet that he’d been found, her first words to me were “so he’s dead?”.
I gave her the benefit of the doubt as I didn’t know the full extent of her problems but was increasingly uncomfortable. Fortunately, she decided to move out without notice close to the end of her rental period … and expected to get her full deposit back. (I returned most of it as able to rent the room pretty quickly, just retaining enough to cover the void, as per the contract.)
spookystarbuck11@reddit
Was staying away one night at my parents. Housemate not only invited her mum to stay in my bed, but woke all my housemates up by her getting out the violin at about 0300 and giving them all a little rendition of...whatever it was.
DollySheep32@reddit
She and her boyfriend were into...what can I guess is furry play but with more BDSM. A cousin (age 16) of the other housemate came to visit and their tail buttplugs were hanging over the shower curtain rail to dry. I heard a lot more sexual meow-ing from humans than I ever wanted to.

Ldiablohhhh@reddit
Not worst but something a bit different from most of the stories. A guy on multiple occasions would start running a bath, then go smoke some weed and zonk out. On 3 separate occasions we had the downstairs neighbours knock on the door to tell us there was water dripping through the ceiling where he's flooded the bathroom.
Same guy would get high and proceed to eat entire blocks of cheese that weren't his. Which was almost more amusing than anything else until it happened to your cheese.
Wasn't a bad guy at all when he wasn't high. Just that was about 10% of the time at most.

I had a housemate who used to just stare at me the moment I wore anything fitted or “revealing” - which included fairly common things like leggings that I wear a lot. He also used all shared equipment and just kept it in his room dirty until we all but ran out of forks or plates. Then suddenly maybe once every 2 weeks they’d all turn up again.
I’m also convinced a guy in my uni halls stole some of my undies…

Uni halls are a very specific type of hell.

Housemate got blackout drank, leaned on the toilet to vomit but instead shat themselves so heavily it was flowing out of their pants and onto the floor. It was as if a cow fucking took a dump in the middle of the bathroom.
