Everyone seems to be distracted to the original topic. Let me share my (previously) nightmarish flatmates
1) Flatshare with a girl and her cat. She smokes all the time at home and she never opens the windows. She is afraid that her cat will jump out (we stayed on the second floor) of the window. Do note that we have an outdoor balcony and I am not a smoker. The whole apartment is constantly smoky with disposable cups used as ashtray everywhere.
2) Flatshare with 2 guys who insists that they are very clean and neat. This is one of the key criteria that was important to me, before I moved in. The apartment is supposed to be shared by 3 of us. Within a month of moving in, one of the guys' gf moved in, and the other guy's gf and her daughter moved in. All these are not discussed or communicated in advance. They just appear in the apartment and both guys insists that they are not tenants, and are only staying over occasionally (their occasional stays becomes 6 out of 7 nights, a week). The apartment feels really crowded. They also plays mahjong 3-4 times a week till wee hours. Needless to say, I moved out after a few months.

I once sub-let a room to a couple of heroine addicts. Naturally I had no idea when I signed the tenancy. They were high-class Aussie chicks, good looking, well-dressed, pukka references.
Within about a week I knew there was a real problem. I managed to get them out after about two. Let's just say their room was like something from a scene from a horror film*. It took a professional cleaning company two visits to get the room back into any condition to re-let.
* I'll spare you the details.

I was once a smoker myself but I never did smoke in the house, I used to smoke outside no matter what the case was. Its disgusting even for smokers to walk into a musty room filled with cigarette stank everywhere.
2nd case sounded pretty bad compared to the first one, its a classic case of the camel and the Arab.
There is a lot of mythology about drugs, including that 'Class A' (hard) drugs instantly turn you into a dribbling wretch. The fact is they don't, and it is still possible to be a heroine addict for 20+ years and appear to be a fully functioning adult. I have known a few in my time.rajagainstthemachine wrote:That must have been a real downer.JR8 wrote:I once sub-let a room to a couple of heroine addicts.
An alternative view is in the words of Lemmy (Motorhead): 'Heroine is the only drug I've seen kill people. First it turns you into a thief and a whore, and then you die with an embolism in your arm. I don't think so: My advice to kids is just don't do it'.
I know people who have become heroine addicts (including my best friend of years from school), who later became a 'rock star' and just lost his way in that scene. He would be in his 40s now and I don't even know if he's still alive.

I had a room mate in Singapore who was a nightware.
THe rules were simple, no drugs and no hookers.
Of course the first night I'm out of town he brings something back. He ends up in dispute with her and she locks him out of MY apartment. She then proceeds to trash the place by throwing stuff out of the window into the pool (11 storeys up) including my chess set. At 3am I get a call in china from the security guard asking what the heck is going on. I get a call at 4am from my maid telling me the other guy is asking her to bring over her key and let him in. What to do? No choice so she went over there. The freak hooker ripped off the place. I was missing stuff for months. What's worse is I saw some video later and he had obviously misunderstood the hookers gender.
He's now known as the 'Bishop' in the offshore industry (I never found the bishop pieces in the pool).

Let's lock that one down for posterity
