The most annoying habit your Uni refugee has ...

[Besswess88]

I’ll start.

So he’s been pretty good bless him, shit situation etc not knowing when he’ll be going back.

Using bowls that we don’t normally use because the rest are fermenting in his room.

Blocking the washing machine got 3 days with his washing, then handing it out over mine which is drying making my clothes and the room he has hung it in absolutely stink.

😭😭

@Twistered

Oh my god! I'm sooooo sorry! I thought you were a uni student sharing with a refugee and being racist!

I'm actually so bloody stupid . Wtf was I thinking

I'm so glad you explained that, I couldn't for the life of me see where you were coming from 😄

Lmao

Same.

I posted. Then refreshed and saw the update.

My apologies OP.

Leaving his incredibly smelly sweaty running gear lying about!

It's a really tough time for uni students though and he is pretty depressed so I'm learning to live with it and just offering to wash it for him frequently!).

Mumsnet is not really a caring sharing place these days is it?

Well this wins the award for best thread of 2021 already.

Jesus Christ. Where is the sense of humour!

I remember coming home from uni only to wash clothes, eat and sleep. That’s all I did. I was a horrible zombie.

@tobee it is. It’s just that the OP had “refugee” in the title, so some misunderstood and thought she was being horrible

He left the wet washing in the machine for three days and then hung it on top of your freshly washed stuff to dry - 😱 nooooo.

You may have to bury him under the patio to avoid a repetition of this.

I hate the smell of fousty washing, yuk.

Fair play to the posters who misunderstood, both apologising.

Some of the responses are peculiar. maybe some people who don't have uni age kids have no idea ...
Mine stayed put at uni over Xmas, we won't see her till summer now so no weird habits. The most annoying when she's home is probably making us turn the volume on the TV down and complaining if we're late to bed.

Fair play to you for calling out racism though albeit non-existent racism

@Besswess88 well done for starting the most randomly hilarious thread of the day 😊

My uni refugee just sighs a lots and now cooks everything different to the way I do. Whilst sighing and possibly with a small shake of the head 😆

I have nothing to add, but I do want to see if any others join the two that have extreme difficulties in comprehension - those two reactions to this very benign thread are fantastic

Again apologies folks and op!
I don't usually jump in like that but there's been so many threads lately that have been goading I thought this was another.

I still can't get over I thought you were complaining about your refugee mate in student halls!
Stupid stupid stupid

Also I have reported your post as spam.

It's no more spammy than 95% of the posts on MN!

@Twistered @seaclaidte fair play to both of you! Glad this is all resolved 😊

@Twistered

Just imagining the look on your face when you realised what OP actually meant makes me chuckle

Ah, I xposted with the penitent misunderstanders.

I have never seen such a bizarre reaction to such an incidental thread. I will join you in your moan @Besswess88. The fact that my DS is completely nocturnal. I will leave a completely tidy kitchen at 11pm and come down to a bomb site the next morning as a result of my DS midnight/2am snack. Also to match the nocturnal I never see him before 2/3pm and then only in pyjamas. I probably wouldn’t recognise him fully dressed now!

@MsOgyny

"extreme difficulties in comprehension"

^^ putting it mildly

Mine has started 'seasoning' my food for me because clearly I can't be trusted with the salt and pepper myself!

Half my food is now inedible because she adds soooooo much salt so it ' tastes of something'

-yes love, salt!!!!

Love it! 🤣🤣🤣

If it helps I am white and my son is mixed race? 🤣🤣 I don’t think it does.

Yes he left it in the machine for 3 fucking days and then squished my washing up on the airer and infected it with the smell.

He also sighs at my cooking (he no longer eats meat and I do - so mainly does his own cooking.

The other day I offered to make him a sandwich. He asked for cheese, lettuce, tomato, grapes - and fucking ketchup 🤢

Ahaha this is exactly what I thought too - I was getting ready to report the thread until I saw the explanations.

Was so shocked there could be such casual xenophobia in a thread title

Glad you got there before I made a tit of myself too Twistered

@ErrolTheDragon

Ah, I xposted with the penitent misunderstanders.

Me too.
