Only had one flatmate I couldn't live with so farbut then again this is only my second year living in shared flats, and two of my flatmates from last year I'm still with. The third one we pretty much voted out when it came time to renew the lease, on grounds of generalised wierd. It tended to be background things, such as the steak knife pinning his timetable up.
When it came to food, none of us ever ate anything he cooked (and he often offered stuff to us). Delights included the day he had lamb chops- he boiled them in water. With nothing added. And proceeded to eat them without any sauce, or any veg, or indeed anything.
He kept on assuring us that the stuff he bought from his work was tasty. He worked in Farmfoods, and generally bought some of the cheapest, nastiest looking stuff ever (microwave chips with gravy already on them anyone?). Our replacement flatmate's Dad is quite high up in farmfoods management. He wouldn't touch most of the stuff from that shop with a 20' bargepole.
Other things? He tok up smoking on the sly away from his parents. But decided not to go with ciggies, but a pipe. then proceeded to smoke in our non-smoking flat, that we can actually get chucked out of for.
Otherwise he generally acted like a complete twunt. I nearly killed him on a couple of occasions.
