    It's all about avoiding the bottom bit of our white shower curtain going pink thanks to the hard water round our way. Shove it in the washing machine every couple of months and that does the job. If I leave it too long between washes then soaking in bleach overnight does the same job.

    I'm not going to dry my shower curtain more carefully than I dry myself.

    Unfortunately a lot of people move into shared housing wanting it their way all the time, rather than trying to reach a sensible equilibrium with the other housemates.

    Hell really is other people. The sort of stuff I have seen people row about beggars belief. Simply because a massive number of people don't seem to be able to tolerate having things any way other than their way.

    If other people's habits genuinely annoy you that much, it's time to find your own gaff.

    Not having a shower curtain is disgusting.

    Otherwise your piss will go all over the floor.

    We've always had glass and I squidgee it after each shower. If we were a shower curtain family I'd be in the "straighten it out but balls to drying it with a towel" camp

    Nothing worse than when the shower curtain sticks to your skin in the shower.

    Glass all the way.

    This! Yep, no idea why other than it it just feels awful but unfortunately we also have no way of installing glass.

    Shower Curtains are the Harvey Weinstein of bathroom accessories.

    In the spirit of Viz top tips, with a slightly macabre streak...

    If your housemate is complaining that the shower curtain is ruined because you don't dry it out, why not make a new shower curtain from your housemate's flensed skin?

    I just tip a bucket of water over my head in the lounge. Carpet soon soaks it up.

    I'm so glad we don't any more. We moved house 3 years ago and went from Shower in the bathtub with a shower curtain to walk in shower that's deep enough to not need a curtain.

    That said, my girlfriend pointed out recently that the edge of the sower basin, where the bathroom matt is (which gets a tiny bit wet sometimes when you shower and quite wet when you step out dripping wet to dry off) is a starting to look a little yellowish and probably needs to be treated for mould.

    I'd still rather spray something against mould every 2 or 3 years than bother with shower curtains or taking a squeegee to a glass door after every shwoer.

    I actually quite enjoy the squeegee after the shower. Goes over the bathtub too, so not too much space to cover.

    I once fell of a bike and broke my leg. The pain was nothing compared with the clammy feeling of dread I got when a wet shower curtain enveloped me. With water on it that had been on - urgh - other peoples bodies.

    The karaoke arsehole in the next street is doing another outside “performance” again.
    I’m here, TV on with the volume up and I can still hear him.

    There’s never any rain on the forecast when you need it.

    Them students next door are making a weekly habit of it as well lately.

    Despite the fact they can't sing to save their lives I don't mind it per se. However, 1) they're now doing that shit mostly on Tuesdays and 2) they keep at it until 1-2am.

    Yeah the covid situation is tough on everyone and you're in the prime of your life when you want to have fun and socialize and all but... keeping me up when I need to be ready for work 5-6 hours later is something I can't quite appreciate.

    I still find it hard to be truly mad at them though; the rest of the time they're very quiet and well behaved.

    One of my neighbours spent all of yesterday burning garden waste. First day where we could have put washing on the line and have all windows open etc. Selfish, inconsiderate arseholes.

    @Dougs That’s happening here today. Lovely young couple but one of their Dads is obviously the pyromaniac cunt. He’s chucking armfuls on with visible glee and a manic glint in his eye. Patio and conservatory roof is covered in ash and house pretty smokey. I finally snapped and asked when they’d be finishing and they looked mortified to the point I ended up apologising for complaining. FFS.

    Absolutely nothing worse than people who burn waste. We have one. Gets in the house with windows closed or not, and ninety per cent of the time a skip or simply sorting waste is more appropriate. Ours doesn't put it out either, so it can end up just burning into ash with billowing white smoke that is probably plastic. Don't apologise for saying something, it's way more awkward to be the asking party in that scenario and you shouldn't have to.

    Nice - might start doing this to piss off our cunt neighbours. Only when they're downwind though.

    I was standing in the bathroom a few years ago and could smell someone burning chicken on a barbeque , it was really stinking and was getting stronger even though the window was closed , just then out of the corner of my eye I noticed something in the recessed light in the ceiling , turns out I was slow roasting a massive bumble bee from the heat off the bulb , so not a cunt neighbour just a cunt bee killer .
  • Deleted user 10 April 2021 21:32:08
    Did it taste like chicken as well?
