Weird lodger stories.

My old next door neighbour had s couple of flats he rented out. He wasn’t keen on agencies fees, so used to let them out to people who knew / friends of friends for cash.

One of the flats was rented out to an old school mate, who all of a sudden stopped paying and wouldn’t return any messages.

My neighbour went around to the flat a few times and got no reply, but the people in the flat opposite, told him that the fella was living elsewhere, but was still coming around every now again to pick up mail.

My neighbour shoves s note through the door, telling his mate, that if he doesn’t pay what he owes, he’s out in four weeks - that would take it up to three months unpaid rent.

He never hears from him and the rent isn’t paid.

He duly let’s himself in, to find that the bath is full of stagnant water, there’s dishes in the sink, that have been there for months, same with milk and meat in the fridge. The bin is full of maggots, the flat is full of flies and worse of all, is an un opened suitcase, that when opened has dirty clothing, that’s been sealed for at least three months. When he opened it, the smell nearly blew him off his feet.

Turns out the longer had been on holiday, met a local girl, come home, dropped his bags off and moved straight in with her.

The upshot was my neighbour had to get a professional cleaning firm in to fumigate the flat, throw everything in the flat out and redecorate / refurnish the whole lot - he never saw or heard from the lodger again lol

Worked with a young lad (early 20s) who was a bit wet behind the ears. He told us how he bumped into another work colleague - an openly gay fella in his 50s - at the swimming baths over the weekend.

We pointed out to him that not only had he told the openly gay fella in his 50s about his plans for the weekend, but that said openly gay fella in his 50s lived nowhere near him and had travelled about 50 miles each way to "bump into" him at the pool while he was in his Speedos.

We all had a good laugh, but I don't think the young lad ever realised how close he came to a savage bumming.

We had a fella in on one of them steps to work programmes in an old workplace. He was very quiet, barely spoke, and seemed quite strange. At the end of his first day we were asked to show him the black taxi stop so he could go into town to make his way home. Tried to make conversation but it was like getting blood from a stone. He lagged a few feet behind us the whole way.

We walked that same way everyday so it became a thing that he followed behind us. 2 weeks later he was gone, the manager found him useless and he creeped her out.

Fast forward about a year and i randomly get a message on facebook from him asking how i was. Then he asked would i like to go to the cinema with him. I felt bad thinking he wanted a friend but still declined. When i declined he then began to tell me he was in love with me and used to walk behind me everyday so he could stare at my rear end.

Blocked his account and never heard of or seen him again thankfully.

It was tough trying to concentrate at work knowing that those buns were in the same office… Although I was lonely The Equalizer 3 was a very good film so you missed out sweet cheeks x
Knowing that you stood me up makes me feel better about adopting a disguise, pretending to be from Sweden and defecating near your workplace. Don’t be a stranger xxx

Reading a news report about a former student obsessed with his former professor. Now has a restraing order. Quite possibly has a serious mental health issue, but I did chuckle at this:

In one incident, in June 2020, Yeung invited his former lecturer to a marriage ceremony for the two of them.

The prosecutor told the court: "He booked a registry office and sent her an email inviting her to their wedding."

Can you imagine receiving that email? Poor woman, that's truly weird stuff.

Anyone got any weird behaviour stories to share?

No I don’t, but I did learn recently that acting ‘beyond the pale’ is a euphemism for weird behaviour. 🤔

Just a tidbit I thought I’d share.

A mate and I were out the other year on in a pub, and we met this group of girls who turned out were in a metal band who were playing in a metal festival in a pub that evening they put us on the guest list and said we could come see them play. We laughed and thought it was all a joke

We carried on drinking for a few more hours and then we went there, couldn't find them anywhere but then it turns out they were playing. They got us on stage and we were dancing with them and playing the air guitar like we were really cool. We are not metal looking people and even though it was funny at the time, it's still one of the most cringe things I have ever done and it still makes my toes curl

When I was 19 a woman stopped me and asked if I was over 21 - I shrugged and said yes. She then asked me if I wanted to apply for a barclays credit card. For some reason - unknown to myself to this day, I said yes.

I gave the correct door number when asked for my address (me ma's) but the wrong street, but I couldn't think of a different postcode, so gave the correct one.

When she asked for my date of birth, it took me much much longer than it should have done for me to provide an answer, as I struggled mercilessly to knock two years off my birthdate. At this point she had clearly figured out the charade, but ploughed on anyway.

Me ma still gets letters from barclays in my name with a shifty address on.
 
Another weird lodger story :

A mate of my missus split up with her fella, leaving her with a big mortgage to pay, so she rents out a room to a very quiet young lad from work.

For all intents and purposes, the lad is the perfect tenant. Pays on time, keeps himself to himself etc.

After a few months, he announces that he’s met a girl and is moving out.

No problems, except when the house owner goes to clear his room out, she finds dozens of empty bottles under his bed filled with piss :eek:

Turns out the reason he was so quiet, was he was pissing into bottles rather than using the bog lol

I was painting my fence at my old house about 10 years ago. I heard a dog bark and a man scream next door. I went over to the fence on the opposite side of the garden. My new neighbour appeared with his nose hanging off. He had blood running down his face. I did the usual and offered help, lift to hospital. He politely said no but introduced himself. Then said shall we go the pub. I cleaned up and of course went the pub with him.

He arrived at the pub with nose still bleeding, he had tried some cleaning, the skin had broken and the nose had a new hole. He downed his pint in one. I presumed he would then go to the hospital, we stayed.

I left him in the pub after 4 or 5 pints. Don't remember seeing much again and he moved house.

No skin off your nose mate 🤷‍♂️
 
I've probably told this before but I behaved in an unintentionally weird way a long time back now.

I was on my way to work and it was torrential rain, properly horrible, a car I recognised as a woman I worked with pulled up next to me and desperate to get out of the rain I leapt in asking she'd been kind enough to pick me up on the way into the office. I turned to my right to thank her only to find a woman that wasn't who I thought it was looking confused/terrified. I have no idea what it was I mumbled to her if anything but I turned to open the door realising I'd made a terrible error to find the person she was there to pick up looking equally confused.

I got out, put my head down and got out of there as quickly as possible, I can only imagine the conversation that went on when her friend got in the car.
