Weird Flatmate

I'm a Virgo. I live on my own because, well, other people tend to sh*t me up the wall when I have to share a house with them. I like things to be done a certain way. Does that make me weird? Nina certainly thinks so...

"There is another type of bad house mate, one that is often overlooked. That is the anal ‘obssesive disorder type. The type that is both the martyr and the facist. They assume they are the only one’s in the household that ever does anything the right way. the sort of person that aggravates the household because nothing is ever up to their standards. Like the mother in law who inspects the house with a white glove to check for dust. I think house sharing is a contradiction in terms btw. unless people are prepared to be a bit more flexible in their attitudes they should go and live alone." Point taken Nina, and just so you know, my friends have threatened to disown me if I ever move in with someone again so you're all safe for now haha!

COMMENT: AUTHOR: nina EMAIL: jraescott@bigpond.com.au DATE: 2006-05-19 13:54:35 LOL, the person I was talking about did happen to be a Virgo and she did end up living by herself.(maybe it was you) Lovely person really aside from her cleaning 'obssession'. Do you become nauseous when people cook eggs in the house? that was another of her little perks. This subject got me thinking about household dynamics. I think especially in large share households that people subconciously assume 'family' roles. Ie one becomes like a father..others mothers and some children. I did find it disconcerting sometimes when she'd follow me around the house with a dustpan and broom LOL When I first moved out of home my bedroom did resemble ground zero but I always made a point of trying to keep the 'shared' parts of the house tidy in consideration of the others.
