Surviving Housemates On A ‘Curtain Call’

Chores, bills, antisocial behaviour, overnight guests…surviving housemates’ problems need a curtain call. When, I find that I’m fighting with a blunt knife at kitchen, it brasses me off! One of my housemates used to bodge the knife, by using it on the marble slab. There are some housemate issues that are bespoken by them to besiege our bliss. In spite of us owning a wooden cutting board, she acted like a dog in the manger. One would opine like one ‘Auntie Beeb’, “Duck, these are the common housemates’ problems!”

Bills, land lords don’t show mercy

At times, she used to spend guineas, which is a total double dutch. She found it so easy peasy , asking us to confront her share of utility bills.

First time, I paid for her and, I confronted her politely, when she repeated it the fourth time. Bills and housemates could never be apart.

Borrowing isn’t a comfort for every housemate

Even in my wildest dreams, I’ve never imagined about sharing my shower gel or toothbrush. Cor! Not every housemate would be comfortable with “Yours is all mine!” thingy.

Sharing between housemates has its line of control.

Chores, a few housemates aren’t chuffed about cleaning

She was busy powdering her nose, but was gormless about cleaning the rubbish. Initially, we did the cleaning for her, later confronting her politely!

Sharing chores is the tricky thingy between housemates.

Please voice out, how did you “survive troublesome roommates!”
