People have been sharing their horrible housemate stories and they are AWFUL
Most of us have had a bad experience with shared accommodation at one point or another, but be prepared to feel a LOT better about your encounter when you read some of the crazy schnizzit that others have had to deal with.
Writer Dawn Foster asked people to share their worst flatmate stories on Twitter and we think even she was amazed by the response.
In their droves people took to the social media network to share the horrible experiences they have been forced to endure thanks to sneaky, creepy and disgusting housemates.
And according to this thread, there are a lot of weirdos out there doing freakish things in their living quarters not giving two f*cks what anyone thinks of them.
Here are a few of the more notable contributions:
Sneaky ones
The one who arranged to become intermediary for the landlord, adding 20% to the rent on the other two rooms for herself.
