Weirdest housemate

Up +84 Down

So first year of uni, I lived in a flat with 6 other people. We were an eclectic bunch, none of us were particularly close, but we all got on. But there was one girl who really pissed us all off. She was from Bulgaria, and at no point during the year made any effort whatsoever to embrace British culture. The only night she went out the entire year was for Bulgarian Independence Day, where she had 1 beer and came home before midnight. Initially she asked for quiet after hours, so we agreed to be quiet after midnight on weekdays. In the second term we were called to a flat meeting with the wardens as she'd complained to them we weren't adhering to her requests and being noisy at all times. Turns out she wanted absolute silence after 10pm EVERY night, and never any talking in the corridor outside her room at any time of day. She'd never said anything like this to us, so we were surprised. Also she had an annoying habit of Skyping her mum in Bulgaria for 3 hours a night every night and laughing so loudly everyone else in the flat had to put ear plugs in if they were trying to concentrate. The last annoying habit she had was taking things from our freezer if she couldn't get hers in and leaving it them on the side to defrost, including some ice-cream I'd bought mere hours before. So we began a guerilla attack. One of my housemates took it upon himself to be uproariously drunk and obnoxious every time he returned from a night out (about 3 or 4 nights a week) and imitating her accent when he shouted abuse outside her door. We also figured a way to set off the fire alarms with magnets whenever she had just gone to shower, and lastly my friend and I, being either side of her room, would alternate who was making an odd noise late at night so she would complain to either of us, where we were obviously completely nonplussed and innocent. I still see her around campus sometimes, and wonder if she's as obnoxious this year to her new flatmates, cause I know she didn't find somewhere to live until late summer.
