so, yes, flatting is irritating the crap out of me. no, actually, let me rephrase that. flatting is not irritating me, but my flat mates are irritating the crap out of me.

first of all, let me share a secret with you. one of them is a compulsive liar. let me begin my rant. about a month ago, i started complaining about people leaving shit residues on the side of the toilet bowl. so i left a nice note in the toilet, asking whoever it is who leaves those shit residues to brush it off when they're done with the business.

the next day after i left the note there, a note was left for me, stating that she isn't the one. guess what? only 3 people uses the bathoom: me, stefan and her. well, what happened was, she's usually the first one in the bathroom most mornings, and right after she gets out, i hop in. and the first thing i do when i hop in is pee. but just before i pee, i check the toilet bowl to make sure it's clean. and holy mother of all cows, i see shit residues on the side of the bowl.

well, you tell me, who else would it be, when the toilet bowl was all clean and fine and dandy the night before? boy, maybe a rat crawled into the bathroom and shat there and forgotten to scrub its shit residues off the toilet bowl's walls! guess what i saw when i came home from work yesterday?

more shit residues. there wasn't any shit residues for a good few weeks after i brought that conversation up after dinner one day....well until yesterday. stefan didn't use the bathroom, and neither did i. so hmmmmmmm................i guess whose it was?

and boy, may i say, those shit residues are darn stubborn! they'll stay on the bowl even after a night of being soaked in bleach (exit mould!) and they wont go even after 4 flushes. gee, i wonder what she eats!

another time when she got caught out was just a couple of days ago. now, let me share with you a very interesting story. we have 10gB of internet use at home per month. i do not download any songs or music, and i only use the internet for regular stuff like bebo, emails, trademe, facebook and the likes. but somehow, our internet usage reaches up to about 1.5gB a day on average.

so i approached the only other person who uses the internet at home, the shit-residue leaver. she denied downloading everything since the turnover of our internet. to quote her "when did our internet turnover? oh, i downloaded at the end of the previous turnover".

so no downloads eh....but i wonder why the internet usage is still sitting on 1.5gb a day? she went out one day, and someone sneaked a look at her laptop, and surprise surprise...not! downloadings were running right off the laptop at that very moment. "i downloaded at the end of the previous turnover" you know what bitch? we caught you red handed this time!

so stefan called her, yelled at her, and told her we know that she's downloading, and she had nothing to say to us. no wait, initially, she said "oh i browse youtube and things, but that shouldnt cause the internet usage to be so high!" wow, still lying huh...

after arguing back and forth, she finally admitted that she has been downloading, even after my pleas to stop it because i need the internet to be running for the rest of the month as i've just started trademe recently. stefan then made her pay an extra nzd10 to increase our usage by another 10gb and tell her to stop downloading.

and she has been behaving so far. let me show you our data usage:


see how it was really high at the beginning and it suddenly dropped by a significant amount? well, stefan told her off on the 4/6, and the following day, the usage dropped :) and right until now, we haven't even reached our 50% mark yet.






the thing that i dont understand is, why does she need to lie? is it really that hard to admit to something that you've been guilty of? is it really that hard to just say "yeah amy, sorry i've been downloading but i promise i'll stop now"

no wonder no one likes her!
