I Hate Flat Sharing

I am quite a considerate person, even if I do say so myself. When I have a day off, I always wait as late as possible to have my shower, so that my flat mates can get washed and out to work when they need to. But, however late I leave it, there always seems to be another person using the bloody thing! Case in point today! I don't know who is off work today, probably Jess as she never seems to be AT work, but I just went to have a shower (yes I know it is 11:30, but I have been working on my CV, looking for jobs and speaking to the SIA already so give me a fricking break). I really need a shower to wake me up and get me motivated to do nothing for the rest of the bloody day, like yesterday! But I can't get in the shower. It is so frustrating.
Top this off with:
  • Drunken singing the other night around 02:00;
  • Random people sleeping in the living room almost every week;
  • The flatmates never filling, emptying or turning on the dish washer;
  • Always putting the rubbish in with the recycling and the recycling in with the rubbish;
  • Eating my food and drinking my drinks;
  • Leaving the freezer door open all night making food inedible;
  • The slamming of the door to the pub which shakes my bedroom door, walls and windows;
  • Filled up ashtrays left everywhere;
  • Water all over the bathroom floor almost every day;
  • Clothes drying in the hallway and living room, EVERY day;
  • Noise through the single glazed windows;
  • Condensation because of the single glazed windows, causing damp on the inside of both my external walls;

Do I need to go on?

When I lived on my own, I was skint (because I had to pay more rent PLUS bills), I never got any visitors because I was in North London, and it took me an hour to get to work on the tube. But I liked my flat. It was more home than this place. I feel like I've been living in a hotel for two and a half years! Yet another reason to get my finances sorted.

I fully understand where you are coming form. I had a female roomate once. ONLY ONCE. Her apt was doing something and I said she could stay. I kick her out after a month. So start by saving money...no more comics, no more drinking, put everything in the bank. That should help you out to get everything strated.
I am sorry you are bothered by roomates that do not care about you.
