Urban myths
There are stories galore about the hazards of sharing a house.
Check out these freaky roomie myths, for example…and I’d love you to add your own stories in the comments!
Busted starkers!

Horror-fied housemate
Two roommates stay on campus over the holidays. One night, one goes out and the other stays in.
Variation 1: The going out roomie pops back to grab something without turning on the light, so as not to wake her friend. When she gets home in the morning she finds her roommate beheaded and a message scrawled in blood on the mirror – “aren’t you glad you didn’t turn on the light?”
Variation 2: During the night, the sleeping roommate is awoken by a strange scratching sound in the hall and locks herself in the cupboard – in the morning she finds her roommate has been attacked and bled to death in the hall trying to get help.
I know, let’s play ‘hide the poo’!
Flatmates devise a cunning plan to get their house cleaning done, “hide the poo” – someone literally hides a poo and the rest keep cleaning until it’s found. When it’s too hard one day, they give up and figure it’ll turn up. It does, weeks later, at the bottom of the butter.
Gross…kinda funny, but what I’m wondering is why didn’t the hidees just ask the hider where it was???
And the morals?
