What has happened to common sense!?

There's the problem with graduates. Some stuff books just can't teach a person

Would said numpties be female?

Is it easier or harder to herd carbon monoxide detectors than cats?

[bitwrx]

First year out of halls?

Don't worry. They learn surprisingly fast. In the end they appreciate you for teaching them.

Atleast you don't have a housemate claiming she never has to clean/empty bins/pay bills etc because she's never here.

She's here every night, lives in the house, therefore, musty contribute. END OF! Silly cow...

In my first week of uni a housemate cooked some rice. Acrid smoke filled the flat and we quickly discovered he had no idea at all you needed water in the pan.

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that shirt was deliberately mispelling certain words in way that underlined the irony of the OP's rant about stupidity -whilst spelling like a 12 year old.

I was sort of joining in.

On one occasion my housemate got the carbon monoxide detector wet by splashing it whilst washing up, she immediately runs to the front door and opens it despite the absence of smoke.

On another occasion the smoke alarm upstairs goes off for no reason, she again runs to the front door and opens it despite the absence of smoke.

On another occasion a deep pan of water had been left to boil on the highest gas setting, i go out for an hour and when i return the same pot is still boiling away, completely forgotten about by her.

I have been living here for a month. In answer to the thread title: Gone, completely gone.

Ermmmm, carbon monoxide can't be seen and is odourless...

Ah, don't i look silly now! She thought it was a smoke alarm and therefore opened the front door.

In a shared house I have had to ring the landlord for a fuse blowing as the design of the house put the fuse box in a bedroom that was being rented out so was locked with no one in to reset the trip.

Unless I missed something, no one seems to have answered the first two questions.

B & B I would suggest.

For you of those without a CO alarm, get one, CO is colourless, odourless, and KILLS you.

Once lived with a girl who was utterly stupid. Never did anything around the house, thought the bins emptied themselves, etc. Once went to sit down in the kitchen and found a newspaper full of chips on a chair as she got fed up of them and just put them down!

Wondered where she got it from and discovered how her dad had "wired up" and extension for the TV mains cable: by taking the plug off, putting it on another length of cable, and simply twisting the ends of the cables together!! Breathtaking!
