Bloody hell, finding the right flatmate can be a real pain in the arse. We’ve all heard horror stories about living with absolute wankers who make your life miserable. So, how the bloody hell can you spot these tossers before you move in? Let me give you some tips and tricks to avoid ending up with an absolute knobhead as your roommate.
The Art of Stalking
Alright, mate, it’s time to put on your detective hat and do some proper stalking. No worries, I’m not talking about breaking any laws here. Just hop on social media and start snooping around their profiles like a true Aussie Sherlock Holmes. Check out their posts, photos, and see if they’re into any dodgy stuff that might raise red flags.
If they’re constantly posting about wild parties or getting pissed every night of the week, well then my friend, you might have yourself a potential nightmare roomie who’ll bring chaos into your peaceful abode.
A Chat Over Bevvies
Now that you’ve done some online digging and things seem alright so far (fingers crossed), it’s time for a good old-fashioned chat over bevvies – beers or whatever floats your boat! Sit down with this potential flatmate for a yarn at the local pub or café.
Pay close attention to how they speak – are they respectful or do they drop more f-bombs than an angry sailor? If their language is ruder than Russell Crowe after losing at cricket against England (ouch!), chances are living with them will feel like walking through a minefield of profanity day in and day out.
Suss Out Their Cleanliness Level
Now, let’s talk about cleanliness – or the lack thereof. When you visit their current place, take a good look around and see if it resembles a pigsty or an actual home. If dirty dishes are piled up to the ceiling and there’s a funky smell that could knock out a kangaroo, well then my friend, run for the bloody hills!
A messy flatmate can turn your living space into a breeding ground for cockroaches and other creepy crawlies faster than you can say “G’day mate.” Trust me on this one; you don’t want to spend your days battling with pests while trying to survive in your own bloody home.
The Final Verdict
In conclusion, finding the perfect flatmate is like searching for a needle in a haystack. It takes time, effort, and some good old-fashioned detective work. So before signing any lease agreements or handing over any cash, make sure you’ve done your homework.
Stalk them online (legally), have an honest chat over bevvies (or coffee if that’s more your style), suss out their cleanliness level like Sherlock Holmes himself, and trust your gut instincts.
If something feels off or they give you bad vibes during this process – listen to that little voice inside telling you to steer clear! Remember mate, it’s better to live alone than share four walls with an absolute tosser who’ll drive you up the bloody wall!
