What happens in Sligo stays in Sligo?

So as I was telling you about my surgical rotation in Sligo, I stayed at a house 1/2 hour away from the hospital with 3 other people: the landlady, an Eastern European man and Chee. The condition of the house itself was not too bad but I would not be recommending the house to anyone, even if my life depended on it (well.. err there may be a few exceptions, heh).

The landlady was nice enough. She wasn't at home much as she spent most days working and looking after her sick mother. She occasionally smoked in the living room with the windows shut but as long as the smoke didn't get to my room I was happy.

I hated being away for so long. 4 weeks is aaaageesss! And that other guy I lived with was just awful. I'm not sure we got off to a good start (like I cared).

Incident 1
The first morning we were leaving the house in a hurry as we didn't know how long it would take us to walk to hospital. I saw a guy coming out of the kitchen, smiled at him, said hi and proceeded to get out of the door.

"Wait. Excuse me."
Huh?
"I have to introduce myself, my name is Vova."
"Oh hello, I'm Adilla." "I'm Chee." "Sorry we're just really late, gotta go."
"I don't know if Aisling has (these) but I have house rules."
Huh? "Oh, we've really got to go, talk to you later."

Was he pissed we brushed him off? *rolls eyes*

Incident 2
He proceeded to show me 4 times how to close the front door without making a noise. "Maybe you haven't noticed if someone bangs the door. It's disturbing. The door can be closed like this you know, bla bla bla...."
"Oh really, I didn't know that!" I tried to sound interested. Apparently he believed me and showed me another 3 times how to close the door.
"OK thanks, I know now." *rolls eyes*

Incident 3
I was reheating my pizza in the microwave when he comes home. I say hi to him, cause I was being polite, and he said hi back only with an expression of annoyance! WTF was wrong now? Sheesh. I decided he was just tired, who cares? As I was starting to eat...
"Adilla if you were looking for the hoover its in the store room here."
"Huh?" Did I look like I was looking for something?
"You do know what a hoover is right?"
"Yeaaahh." You think I'm from some 3rd world country with no electricity? Mofo.
"Well..." He went on a lecture about how he was the only one cleaning the house since we came and that when it was only him and Aisling there he did all the chores aswell... "..I'm not a housekeeper..." Then he went to pick up a strand of hair from the floor, " Look at this, there is hair everywhere, even in my room!"
"Your room?" Haha. "Are you serious?!"
He went on another lecture on the theory of how "hairs" got into his room when I swung my bedroom door open/closed. "...and the house is full of dust! You guys have been here 3 weeks and you haven't done anything!"
Oh so that was why he thought I was looking for a vacuum cleaner! He wanted me to do it!
I told him, "If you didn't notice I haven't been around here much." Which was true, it was the beginning of the third week but I had only been at the house for a maximum 5 days (due to raya, for which I went home).
"Well, I'm not at home all the time too but it doesn't mean I don't give a shit about the house."
I was stunned! I really wanted to say to him I haven't seen him do a single chore but I kept quiet and just said ok. He went on to repeat what he said earlier about him doing all the chores etc. I wasn't even listening at that point as I was thinking about my now cold pizza. Grr.

He went out later that evening. I vacuumed the whole house and even cleaned out the rubbish bin in the toilet for good measure. Now if he tries to lecture me again I can tell him to eff off.

I told Chee about what happened. He just laughed and said Vova had been telling him to take out the rubbish for days. "Just say, OK, and don't do it," he said.

Incident 4
I walked past his room one day and it was wide open. Guess what I accidentally see? Photos of naked guys! *barf*

No wonder he was so... bitchy!

Incident 5
I waited for Chee to get ready for hospital that morning in the living room. We were late, again, hehe. When he was ready we both quickly left the house. We were about 20 steps past the house when someone called me from behind.

Surprise, surprise! It was Vova. What does he want now?

"You left the light in the living room on. Sometimes the light is on for a long time and no one turns it off....blabla"
W-T-F! "OK, sorry, whatever!" I told him and turned to leave. He just had to do that. Ugh. If you saw the light was on then just turn it off! Sheesh. Did you expect me to walk back to the house and turn it off? What an *******!

When I came back that evening I saw that the light in Chee's room had been left on the whole day. How come he didn't call Chee? Oh, right. He's gay.

Conclusion
I was soo glad when the last day came. No more HFH! Yay.
Chee called me that weekend and said he was still in Sligo. "Hey, Vova misses you!"
"Yeah right."
"Yeah, he said you forgot something."
"I didn't forget anything, I checked everything before I left, I cleaned my room out."
"No, he put a basket of things in front of my room and told me 'your classmate' forgot it."
"I had no basket."
"It's blue and it has toilet paper in it."
WTF. "That's the bin from the upstairs toilet! It's not mine!"
"Well he said you forgot to empty it. And that he and Aisling had been emptying it the previous weeks."
Aaargh. I was the one who emptied the effing bin last week. And it hadn't been emptied since the first week we got there.
"Chee, tell him to fuck off! What an arsehole! Oww!" I got a pinch on the cheek from my significant other. "Anyway, why should you empty the bin, you didn't even use the upstairs toilet!"
"Exactly! I'm just leaving it there. He's an asshole."

Ugh, that guy is unbearable! Hopefully no one else recommended the house to anyone.
