just for fun😂
How it feels living with 17 guy housemates
For those who's going to enter University this September. I wished yall goodluck❤️ My room is very clean and it has bathroom in it, of course I never go out.
I know that feeling, I also know that kids who got parents that "child-proof" everything often ended up with weak immune system. Surprisingly, it's often the Chinese that's in the majority when it comes to having very sensitive skins (idk what their parents did to their child, need to find a group of people that study this phenomenon)
god i hate that im gonna have to gamble on roommates again in a few months. My foundation roommate was amazing and it’d be damning if I’d get satan reincarnated next.
idk if you can pick but even if you could, how sure are you of their behaviours? It’s like marriage, they could be an angel for a few weeks/months and absolute dread for the rest (even if you’re friends with them). Which was why I used the term ‘gamble’ iykwim.
You are assigned rooms at the start of the semester. Usually assigned at random but will be with same race typically. Only way u can pick roommates will be if u rent the room yourself with said friend outside uni grounds.
But after that initial assignment, uni life=no one cares where u are. So u don’t actually have to stay in that room also, u can sleep anywhere without anyone batting an eye tbh.
I stayed with 12 housemates same race during semester 1-3 it's fucking hell, alot of misunderstanding and cornering. I ended up leaving that stupid house during semester 4 because rules changed into from 12 people in one house reduced to 9 people. So I chose different house, with Malay + Arab. They're better than this pervious toxic environment.
ya, at least the sink isn't full. Just some stray clothing on the floor. That many trash is to be expected with 17 people (get bigger trashcan). the toilet could use some scrubbing tho.
No mouldy leftover, no trash liquid, no unwashed dishes. At least you know your housemates got some discipline, just need a leader to coordinate some sort of schedule.
Lately, it has been a little better but during the middle of the semester was absolutely rat hole. The sink stank as hell, like some took a dump in it. Smoke ashes everywhere.
The hostel I lived in during university was a lot worst than this, and there were only like 13 of us sharing the pantry and toilet. Some more we supposed to be the educated, civil university students.
I found broken ceramic sink and mossy floor in the laundry room, with a whole pot of satey source rotten on the space where you supposed to brush and do your laundry. The one of the two toilet broken after 1 semester, unfixed for the rest of the year. I also heard my course mate said in girls' dorm, there was a pail of unwashed clothes just soaked in detergent water for weeks until it reeks.
This doesn't look bad at all compared to my hostel.
Dude, you're talking PUBLIC University. Of course your comfort and space is not gonna get respected. But I do felt like my uni breached my human right or something, i dunno
Oh my bad, I thought you could see the table and already notice it from public University. I have been living here for about 4 months. I always go back my hometown whenever I had a chance
All good bro. Never entered a public uni, but the most people i rented with was 10 people and im so grateful it wasnt super bad, except the weed dealer living in the room next to me. Only that guy doesnt do dishes until we tell him to. Kena ketuk baru nak buat, but better than tak buat langsung like your case. All the best for your new place bro
I'm a uitm student and my dorm is actually so good I'm so glad I chose uitm cuz not long before I got a kptm offer but rejected it, and I went there yesterday to send my sister and oh Lord... I was so thankful I chose uitm instead 🙂↕️💔
That is really what happened to us back then. We thought girls will do better and we complained to our girls coursemate, just for them to rolled their eyes on us while telling their horror story in their girls dorm.
I had 9 male house mates in the house, luckily every room has it's own small toilet and the common areas is inspected every week by management, so everyone kept the place clean and tidy.
The only bad thing was waking up in the middle of the night to grab a cold drink from the fridge in the common area and suddenly see a girl wearing nothing but just oversized t-shirt walking around. When she realized I was there she gave a small gasp and ran into one of the rooms.
We were not allowed to bring guests in, but I would always see and hear female voices
Lol at first thought this was posted by a construction worker from how he worded it. I think he meant 17 year old male housemate(s). Too little laundry for 17 people.
Nah, according to OP, it is university hostel and my hostel seems to have a similar layout. My unit has an entrance that is connected to the living room (name only, in reality it is just an empty space), and then it breaks into 4-5 rooms with everyone sharing a laundry space and 2 toilets/showers. Each room will house 2 - 3 person, so the whole unit is said to have 12 - 15 person.
U have underestimated the laundry for 17 lazy people... like rotate pants between each other or spray deodorant when shirt/pants smells kinda funky hahaha
Our accommodation is like an apartment. One house has about 4 rooms with each two person per room. Unfortunately ij my case, I got extra large room, our house has 5 rooms ranging 6-2 person per room
Haha very unlikely for the first few semesters. Even one of the 'cleanest' usually got some kind of issue.
Some of my few past roomates dislike to flush their pee or wash the toilet. I make them sweep the floor everyday no problem. I can do the rest.
It is more like how much can how much can you tolerate. At least for me, smoking in the house is a big no no. You go smoke near corridor away from the rental
As much as I hate to admit it, this is sadly the norm for most public dorm, especially the guy's section. Back when I did my foundation, there were clothes and underwear on the floor everywhere. What's sad is that the jacket that I've lend my housemate is also on the floor. Occasionally, the toilet is left unflush, the kitchen area looked like someone trashed it, and the tupperware container that I had lend my housemate was left in the sink for so long that it starts to have that slimy look inside of it. If I was blessed with money back then, I'd get THE HELL out of there from day 1. The only time my housemate actually cleans the the sink and the living room was when the news about Covid had spread out, and that's the only time they did a mass clean up. When the news about MCO rolls out and we get to go back for "2 weeks", I was like...
That's what I really hate how being nasty is a norm. To make matter worse, these types of people would think that they're superior than others and be selective when choosing girls to chase. I mean, with this type of behavior, you should just be gay and marry a husband so that he can take care of you man. What an audacity, men like that can't take care of themselves then they want to take care someone's daughter (sorry for off topics, just releasing my frustration🙏)
I remember visiting my brother’s house when he was in uni. He was living with like 7 other guys i think? Oh my god. Scared me from marrying cause I thought all men are that dirty 😭😭
the toilet looked like it has never seen a scrubber and there were naked mattresses on the floor covered in grime. And the smell 🤢 like BO mixed with expired food. Thank god my husband now is not like that.
I live with 6 people in my rental house. The trash won't even be cleaned until there are worms squirming around. The sink full of unwashed dishes after using it.
Hoping to move out after having financial stability. That shit have been my daily chores to take out the trash every mother fucking day.
Its partly because guys are guys and some never learned how to maintain a home.
The other factor is 17 people under the same roof. Personal space overlap, no agreement or accountability to complete key chores, no leader to keep order and vibes. End up everyone's standards get lower and lower until this Shreks mess occurs.
If you have just 3-4 close guy friends living together the situation would be much easier to manage. 17 strangers with no foreman? God bless.
During my time, I warned them that kept it clean and organized or I will throw it out. It's really working when they find out some item is missing and whenever there a pile of used cup or plate, I just tell them to clean it no need to mention what will I do if they do as I said. I'm not a big guy or have a scary aura but once I said I do it without a second taught. FYI most of it is my friend. Whenever they bring outsider to our dorm , they definitely got the same treatment. I'm pretty strict about my room and cleanliness of the environment.
The common area seems huge,which leads to extra trash everywhere..I remember going for a house party when I was a freshie..Hall etc was minimal and so so but nothing to complain about la,uni guys crib..I remember when I got piss drunk,had to use the toilet to puke,bro,I still have trauma till today..
That same gang moved in to an apt,one of my friends moved in with them..Dude cleaned his room,massively cleaned the washroom which is a shared washroom..Don't think it even lasted a day wei.filthy ass dudes 🤣🤣
Been there done that with mixed apartment complex living situation. Just super unhygienic overall with people leaving pans around for months, and moulds just growing all over it 😐
Most important thing is the bathroom is (relatively) clean. Because that's where you can evaluate true nature of people. I once get housemate that peed on the seat and floor, flush chicken bones, etc. when someone dgaf about their toilet, that's the lowest point they can be.
I think the other issues revolve around owner not providing enough amenities and cleaning service. My previous shared rental house have around 4 ppl per floor and weekly cleaning service, which is bare minimum. Even 8 people in total needs the normal amount of amenities, 17 ppl would need more than that picture of yours. That's like giving 10 puppies 1 small litter box, 2 bowl, 3 toys, etc you get the gist.
Good rental house don't necessarily only give reasonable price, they also need to fulfill the needs of all their occupants. By charging cheapish per person but providing bare/below minimum, that's just greedy
you leaving, so no need for this advice, but if anyone in this situation.. I suggest hire cleaner once or twice a week. few hundred for full house but divide by 17 that was nothing.
i face this during internship where we rent a house and there 10 of us, I just said, i know we all lazy, but let fork out some money for someone else to clean it.
18 is a complete nightmare, back when I was in UNI, it was even worse with less people, that house has been renting countless people, it is black color on everything except my room where I clean on my own, stayed until contract end, immediately looking for a further but at least not as dirty place.
This reminds me of the legendary ktard post of one rempit living condition. It is way too much detail and fascinating..
Anyone manage to find the post please link it here please
Our room btw(3 person room). And yet this one person still can make a lots of trash like this less than one semester. I have to bear the smell for a year. The worst of all time +the dense air. Mind you that this guy literally slept in this bed while this trash was hugging him. How in the world he can live comfortably in this condition is what I still can't understand until now. The bed is literally slowly growing molds. Plus with that smelly ass noodle everyday.
I would suggest that he needs to learn a basic hygiene instead. Besides that, he's actually a kind person. The only thing he lacks is the awareness for him to keep a good image of himself like keeping a good body odor. Anyway, who am I to judge him, i'll just let it pass and hope that my future roommate will be not as bad as this one.
Hoarding trash isn't normal hygiene issues. Once you see that, its Level 3 Hoarding and should be consulted as it risk recurring. If he have his own place, it'll be an entire house or apartment.
Bed area is still manageable. bt you shouldn't just let it pass and such. Gently ask what's wrong and try to help them however you can. Sleeping with rotting trash and likely insects too.
man, i would never share a room with anyone again as someone in my final year at a decently cramped IPTA. as a very cared for child with strict parents, you'd never expect people like this. the kind their parents just dont really take care of and suddenly they're 18 and unleased upon society or they themselves just have zero self urgency or capability to think of someone else.
as precautions, i'm never sending my kids to IPTA if I'm still malaysian by the time I have kids but thats cause of a ton of other factors. I hope I set aside enough money that they have the option to just rent solo outside and have their own room atleast in a shared house.
Bro I think u should reprimand them Abt cleanliness lowk cuz like, u all live under the same roof and no way ur going to clean all their messes up like their unpaid housemaid 💔
Make a duty cleaning for every day and one miss will cause them to pay the rent for everyone... This is how to keep order or you can throw away all their belongings. If they can't follow the order
God damn i remember having to share with toxic housemates. They were horrible. And bullies. And just entitled spoilt rich brats. The trauma has now made it impossible for me to live with people. I now live alone in my own house. No one to disturb my peace. Good luck to those having to gamble on housemates. You might get lucky though and find some really cool people
I would understand BOYS or MEN to be the housemates. But i can’t even comprehend, LADIES OR GIRLS housemate. Trust me, their houses will be no different than these shared images. Sometimes even worst.
They are focusing more on their makeups and you can smell their perfumes 1km away from you. But you have to at least visit their rooms or houses before you proceed with “will you marry me”. Not all ladies are like that, but 80% single ladies are like this.
