14 Tweets That Sum Up Living In A Shared Flat

For generation rent, the prospect of being able to afford your own house is about as likely as winning the lottery (which would be pretty handy right now).

If you don’t fancy living in your childhood bedroom at 28 years old, which obviously does wonders for your adult sex life, then most of us have no choice but to move into a flatshare.

Whether that’s with strangers or people you’ve known for years, here are 14 things that every person will have had to deal with.

1. The shared kitchen.

fallen out with my flatmate who has put her dead hamster in the fridge and is saying that "it's just the same as raw chicken" FUCK RIGHT OFF

Sometimes I feel like my flatmate just likes to walk into a messy home w/ dirty dishes, pizza boxes & beer bottles everywhere.

Just took in a package for my flatmate. Thought it was for me. Is this how the director of La La Land felt?
