Mal Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I stayed for bookies and left confused. So did the P-Diddy-Kong get arrested or something? Was his place a half-way "house" so he couldn't leave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Oh, no, P-Diddy isn't the problem. It's the guy who was going to buy his contract so he could move into my place. It's a huge mess so I don't expect this to be clear, but basically I want to leave this apartment, P-Diddy wants to move into a different apartment room on a different floor, but for that to happen someone has to buy his contract before he can take my contract. EDIT: In comes "mysterious buyer" and so the office assumed everything would check out and we could start packing. I was literally going to leave tomorrow morning, but I guess they got the last of the background check in tonight and this guy was DECLINED. "Oh, well, it's so rare we thought you could move out."

Mal Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ah. It all makes sense now. So now you're waiting for P-D-Kong to find a legit guy to get his contact, I hope? I also would shudder to think what would happen if you weren't planning on going to your parent's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yep, playing the waiting game... YET AGAIN. So... back to looking for some job that I can only have for 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 In that time frame, I would suggest odd jobs. Under the table pay may be for the best? No idea what is available in that time frame in your area but yeah. I doubt any store would hire someone who would jump ship in three months.

WTF Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 hmm. I wonder if I'm going to be posting here soon. I'm going to be having flatmates soon (it's a big place and I don't want to keep paying the rent on my own plus I'd like company, new social circles and the like). This is going to be interesting since I've mostly lived with girlfriends and the wife since March 2000 (with a brief stint for 4 months with a friend in 2004). The only people who seem to be replying to my adverts seem to be women though. Is it because I have a huge kitchen or that it looks homey? Seriously though I'm having 5 viewings - all women (2 days since I put the advert). But the important thing is I really hope one of them chooses the place. The main reason I don't want to move out is because it's hard to find places in the city that let you have pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 If I ever have a place and the people responding to the ads are women I'd be ecstatic. Not because I'm a guy and I'd love to have a chance to do something with them, but because I genuinely prefer the company of women in homes than of guys. Mainly cause women are so social and so friendly and silly while in the house and guys are more reserved. And I say this having lived with my older sis for so long.

CorgiShinobi Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not to mention, on average, women are more clean and like to keep the common areas tidy. I'm a clean guy, but it's a constant battle of cleanliness between my two other roommates who just leave things dirty and everywhere. Obviously there are exceptions, but as a whole, and with the amount of women apartments I've been too, women makes things smell good and comfy.

Mal Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Then you get into their rooms and if they have a personal bathroom, its like there was a battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 You guys have not really shared bathrooms with different kinds of women have you? lol. Some are fun. But trust me. Not all women are the most neatest in terms of bathroom space . Yes they are clean and the house is tidy and stuff like that. But those are generalisations. Some are awesome. Some aren't. However since I've said I'm 32 most of the ones I'm getting are basically between 25 and 30. I think that's alright, hopefully they keep the place as nice as it is. I'm kind of hoping the one with a cat working in media likes the place cause 1)work related socialising and 2) if she's fairly social it'd be nice to interact with a new social group. I have nothing against male roommates, I'm just surprised that I'm getting more women than men. However there's one good point that the home usually smells great and they have much better smelling shower gel. Then again I use minty fresh shower gel, exfoliate often and meh okay I've been living with gfs and women for waaay too long that I've picked up on a lot of grooming habits. However the kitchen is what I'm worried about since i'm sort of messy there -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've been in plenty of women restrooms and a majority of them had a very clean restroom. But the ones that didn't. Oh god. It was fucking gross. Like I almost barfed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 So after making a cup of tea or coffee I put the spoon down next to the kettle for the next cup of tea or coffee I'll make in an hour or so. I come back and the spoon is gone. So I get a spoon out of the drawer and make a cup of coffee and put the spoon down next to the kettle for next time. I then come back and the spoon is gone. It's a fucking spoon, its only use all day will be to take sugar or coffee from a bag/jar and put it into a cup. It will then stir the concoction of boiling hot water and tea/coffee/sugar/milk, then be flicked over the sink and put next to the kettle. The spoon, hitting temperatures of around 60oC+, is relatively sterile. The only thing it has come in contact with is the same thing I'll be scooping out of a jar an hour or so later. What it's instead doing is now being put into a pile of plates with various sauces over them, or laying in a small puddle of stagnant water in the washing up bowl. It's not like I'm cutting up bacon with the spoon or I've used it to stir some food up. Instead we end up going through all the spoons in the drawer in a day, in substantially less than a day if one of us decides to have a yoghurt or grapefruit or something. Only need one spoon.

Mal Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Living with roommates will teach you to how to really deal with people. You'll deal with their deep, dark secrets. For example... I think one of my roommate broke up with his girlfriend (I haven't seen her around at all and I know she's back in town) so I have been keeping my distance a bit. He may be a slob but if he needs anything, I'm all ears. If he do anything stupid (HURDUR ME) he'll hear from me. I can deal with crappily flush toilets, cleaning the bathroom, doing dishes and dealing with all the pot he has been smoking lately (Forced me to fix my vent cover) but I won't have someone under this roof do stupid shit. Not sure if I'm dealing with it correctly but hey, if he asks, he shall receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah if any of my roommates actually wanted advice, I would give my piece about whatever was going on in their life. It only ever got too much when one of them was beginning to ask me about every life choice he thought I should know about. Quite frankly, choosing someone's next major for them was beyond my scope.

WTF Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have had some exceptionally good roommates throughout my university years (with the exception of my first year when the guy would come into the room late at night drunk, take off his clothes, sit on the floor and start singing operatic numbers... How I wish phones back then had cameras because I would have so recorded and uploaded those). Generally outside of that my roommates were 1)the most friendly ear ever in terms of any and every relationship I've ever had. 2)the most bro-est of bros possible but in a good way 3)the most hottest girl I've never slept with, who is genuinely a sweet friend and kicks my behind at pool every single time. Of course her answer to life was the pool table and I've sorted out her numerous beaus and am happy she's happily married these days. 4)the worst business partner and the best drunk friend ever. Excellent person to socialise with, worst person to work with. Overall we're still good friends but i will not work with someone who needs to be drunk/high to get creative. 5)my dad for a few months who was actually quite helpful 6)a girl who insisted she cooks all the time, which basically led me to eventually becoming a cleanliness freak (I had it in me, but she pushed it). 7)a bunch of exes who were great roommates 8)my ex-wife 9)and now my cat and my current business partner. I'm generally the roommate who's almost never around and owns most of the electronic goods in the house and the one who serves as mediator and house counsellor. Though I generally prefer to avoid living/subletting to young couples due to drama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm going on a week long field trip tomorrow. The sink is filled with dishes, dishes are low and the dishwasher is still not emptied. I shall test my roommates to see how far they go. Worst come worst, I'll have a really long cleaning night on Friday... on that note, I'm dumbfounded on how many cups a person can go through in a day. One of my roommates is like the Signs girl or something. So yeah, I'm going to see how they function without me around since I do take care of 95% (Scientifically proven by Stats and PHYSICS) of the cleaning.

WTF Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 My current flatmate is pretty much like a brother in all the positive and negative ways. It's a bit strange when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 My first roommates were honest-to-god crackheads. Now I'm skeptical about sharing my place with so much as a cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
