It must be something about the area - I used to flat in Northland and my flatmates were so strange I moved out after two months! One was a former fattie who had gone on some weird diet and only ate boiled chicken breasts and cabbage, and she wrecked my non-stick frying pan after using it to toast her muesli in! She'd cook up huge piles of it and stick it in the deepfreeze so there was no room in there for anything else!
The other one was an old friend of hers and they'd spend most of their time in each other's rooms watching tv, and if they invited friends around, I was asked to go out for the night! Once I was ill and they wouldn't even let me stay in my room, I had to go out!
There was a communal block of cheese, tea/coffee, half a dozen eggs a week, and butter, but you had to buy (and cook) your own meat, veges, milk, biscuits, etc. One ran out of potatoes once and asked if she could borrow one of mine! She replaced it the following day, with one I swear was exactly the same size and shape as the one she borrowed!
And they didn't like the toilet being flushed at night because it was noisy, so you can imagine the smell in the morning after the one who ate cabbage had been in there during the night!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
