Weird Flatmate

I've only ever shared a house with one or two other people, and I can't imagine what it wold be like living with more, like on Big Brother for example. This story that was sent in by Mel reaffirms my belief that more people equals more trouble...

"not sure if im doing this right but here goes...... I once found myself with the choice of moving back home to share a room with my ten year old sister (I was 24 at the time) or moving into a share house with a couple and 3 blokes needless to say independence prevailed. the couple consisted of a 40 something year old alcoholic woman and a twentysomething pot addicted guy constantly geting into fights about who was cheating on who and who smoked whos last ciggie and always in the lounge putting on a great show for all. the 2 guys, one a ageing hippie who was a painter with a heart of gold who was living there for the same reason as us all (small mining town limited accomadation) waitng for a place of his own so he could bring his lovely wife up to live... no dramas there... bloke 2 average looking 26 year old pretty sure of himself needless to say after an indulgent night we ended up shagging on the bathroom floor..also no dramas there these thing hapen......Peter guy no3...I'll start at the top shall I....50 year old woman hating alcoholic who only just owned half of the house so obviously he thought he made the rules no bear in mind here that this was all a very dodgy situation none of us had any form of lease and the man we considered our landlord owned the other half or the house, now no 3.. lets just call him bob was withuot a doubt the most disgusting man I have ever come across he live in a room at the back of the house with his equally disgusting dog who shared his mattress now as it was the deal was we all paid an amount to rent the room which included power and use of everthing in the house fair enough, I had a mobile phone so I wouldnt get caught in the whole I didnt make that call saga after living there for about 2 months bob comes home from his holiday to a disconnection notice for his phone being the angry horror that he is he decided to present me with a bill for 90 dollars I told him there had to be some sort of mistake as I had my own phone and didnt call anyone from his and he replies with ...this bill is for having the convenience of people being able to call you on the house phone.... now that cheap for ya and i could go on and on....... thanks for letting me share."

Did they base that UK comedy 'Spaced' on your experience?
