Staying at a distant place away from home will always land you in the company of many unknown faces. Be it in a flat, house or hostel, you are guaranteed to live with some interesting humans…
During these great years of your life, you are in all probability going to spend a great part of your time with one of these interesting flat mates.
Here is our pick of flat mates who score high on the probability index !
The Neatness Freak: These are the people who suffer from the ‘perennially neat syndrome’. From keeping their clothes nicely ironed and folded to keeping the house spotless, they irritate their mates with their top-notch cleaning skills. They usually are the guardian of the flat and take care of the washing, cleaning, bills etc. Having a house party is the most annoying thing for them but will probably be the first to step up and take care of you when you’ve had too much to drink. And when they get pissed off, they can be spotted removing spider webs at midnight just to ease their frustration.
The Carefree Diva: There must be someone to spread the mess around and let the Neat Freaks perform their favourite piece of business. Their best friends are the couch and a box of nail paint. They are always up to something and when you sight a broken cup in the kitchen, you know whom to blame. With their extreme blithe attitude, they roam around the house like a fairy in a no-man’s world. But mind you, when you need someone in your toughest of times, they are the warmest shoulders to lean on.
The Love Guru: A friend next door, ever ready to give you that piece of advice, are these kinds of flat mates. Either they are in a relationship with themselves or going through a broken relationship, they come across as being an accomplished love guru (or so they believe ). Highly opinionated and adamant, they are famous for their witty judgmental attributes.
The Party Animal: The next type of mates are these party heads always ready to glam up and celebrate. Sleeping all day and partying all night, smoking a volcano vaporizer or drinking a strong beer, this person never stops. They are never out of occasions to party, be it a breakup party or a casual ‘aaj party ka mood hai’. You’ll often hear them complaining about their unforgiving hangover but insisting their night was worth it and that you totally missed out. Be it a house party or at a pub, they are the life of the night. From them, you will get to know about all the happening places in the city, amazing offers and learn stuff like pre-boozing and pre-eating and such impressive saving tips..
The Slug: Partying or even going out of the room is a huge task for them. They would rather prefer a movie marathon in their comfortable pair of pyjamas and feeding on packets of Maggie on the bed, rather than taking a bath. These slobs will never wake up for their alarms and can sleep through pretty much any lecture, simply because the bed remains the best option. Their room is filthy and they barely move all day.
The Innocent One: These people have had a very sheltered upbringing and have come to have a taste of independence. They often are victims of some pranksters who insists on getting them drunk to let loose and be a clown at the party. They’re usually quite naive about how the world works and it’s a wonder how they made it to another city.
Just be yourself, whether that’s partying all night, playing cards with your gang or just bitching. Irrespective of the category you and your flat mates fall into, they will remain part of your best memories of the time you lived together..
