Sharing Doesn’t Always Come Easy
Well, I’ve had to share a flat with many different types of people over the years, as I’m single and still a student at university. One of my first and worst flatmates was a real party animal – he was out nearly every night socializing. He used to sleep all day – definitely a night owl. Probably the worst thing was that he kept talking endlessly – a real chatterbox. After this experience I decided I wanted to share a flat with somebody quieter. So my next flatmate was a bit of a bookworm, and spent all his evenings reading. He was a vegetarian, which caused a bit of difficulty when we wanted to prepare meals together. He liked to take care of himself and was a kind of a fitness freak, spending a lot of his time working out. My last but one flatmate was a workaholic; he would spend at least twelve hours in the office every day. But at the weekends he turned into a real couch potato spending all his time horizontal in front of the TV and eating all sorts of junk food available. My last flatmate was probably the best – he couldn’t sit still; he was a DIY enthusiast and used to fix everything round the house. He was also a globetrotter, and he took every chance to travel. So I was on my own most of the time especially on holidays.
