Prying eyes
When realestate.com.au & propertyfinder.com asked you guys to fill in a survey about weird flatmates, I was surprised that so many people responded about going through their flatmates stuff....
Jacinta from Greater London got the giggles when she went rummaging. "A vibrator. Clearly opened and I guess used. She was single. I was immature and found it really funny".
Spying on his flatmate turned up hidden polaroids says Jamie of London, "Another flatmate of mine - I saw all these pictures of him and his girlfriend doing nasty things."
Nell from South Hampton was disgusted by what she found when she went snooping. "Because he was so weird me and the other flat mates went through his clothes drawer and wish we hadn't as it was full of dirty (really dirty) underwear both male and female. Come to think of it I don't remember him ever washing his clothes."
And finally Lola from North London reports that when she went looking through her flatmates stuff, she found all sorts of things. "Rotten food under the bed, lots of s&m stuff hidden everywhere, my mail in one of her drawers, piles of used condoms on the bedside table."
I don't know about you, but I like my privacy and the idea of flatmates going through my stuff makes me crazy. What do you think? Have you ever snooped? What did you find?

I used to always feel like I was being watched when I was in the shower or changing in my bedroom. I'd wake up thinking there was someone in my room. I asked my flatmate if he had been feeling the same way. He just shrugged. A couple months later I was cleaning up, and I put something he left out back in his room. I accidently knocked a folder off his dresser. There were pictures of me! Some Of me in the shower, some of me topless in my room, tons of me sleeping!! He even went as far as to take off my clothes while I was unconsious (I think they were from a night I came home and passed out due to too much partying). It turns out he had set up hidden cameras in my room & shower and was videotaping me, then editing it on his computer and selling it as porn. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, and needless to say, I don't share a flat with him anymore, I had him arrested.

I normally wouldn't snoop, but I had the most wretched roommate and once $180 (US) of mine from a job that paid cash (TV gig--I'm a theatre student) went missing. I turned my room over and couldn't find it, and she really was the kind of person who'd steal from me. So I went searching through her stuff. I ended up not finding anything of mine and my money turned up at my parent's home. Really, though, it was about the one thing she DIDN'T do was steal from me.

HAHA! I would be pretty pissed off if they went through my stuff. But not too pissed off. As long as they didn't do it again. But seriously, a lot of people who get SERIOUSLY pissed when people snoop have something to hide.
