Sometimes they leave dirty dishes in their bedrooms and even worse, eat all your food out of the fridge.

But there are some housemates from hell that would put your housemates to shame.

It turns out Melbourne is the place housing some of Australia’s worst flatmates, with some sharing their horrible experiences on Reddit.

One man just couldn’t seem to catch a break with his roommate, let’s call her “Jill”.

Jill stole his DVD player and sold it, using the money to buy a pregnant guinea pig.

She then had the “stinky little beasts” running around her room.

He also came home to Jill brandishing a knife and saying she was going to kill the landlord because he was threatening to kick her out.

“She hadn’t paid rent in months,” the frustrated housemate said.

“She was crying to me saying I was the only one who understood her because we don’t have parents.”

The funny thing was though, he did have parents, so he wasn’t too sure where Jill got that idea.

Another Melburnian said a former housemate used to eat — wait for it — brains on bread.

“When questioned on his eating habits he’d say ‘I don’t care what society thinks’,” the Melburnian said.

“His girlfriend burnt something (not brains) in the microwave. She didn’t clean it up, neither did he, the house stank of whatever it was for days.”

This horror housemate also borrowed things and then pretended he didn’t have them, despite the items being found in his room days later.

When you have a housemate, being considerate of shared domains is very important.

Obviously you’re not going to take over the loungeroom, or hog the bathroom.

One man in Melbourne however broke that roommate code and used to lock himself in the toilet with his laptop for hours on end.

“It was so annoying,” his frustrated housemate said.

“He would come out without flushing too and if I went it, it was apparent he hadn’t even used the toilet.

“Once at 3am I got up thinking ‘finally, I’ll be able to use the toilet without waiting’ but nope, he was in there again. At that point I started knocking and saying ‘get out’.”

The crazy housemates didn’t stop there for this Melburnian.

A female housemate moved in but then decided she didn’t want to pay utilities.

Some of the housemates weren’t told so when she showed up the next day, they let her in, thinking she just forgot her keys.

“She then went to trash her former room,” the Melburnian said.

“For a few days after that, she would show up at night knocking on my room window to let her in. Super creepy.”

A woman also shared a story about her horror housemate “Jeff”.

The woman was home drinking with a male friend one night and Jeff came home late in the evening with a few drinks under his belt.

Jeff proceeded to sit on his housemate’s friend, creating a pretty awkward setting.

The housemate said about 10 minutes later, Jeff ran a candlelit bath for the friend.

“My mate was understandably freaked out and we went to his place to continue beer time and discuss the evening,” she said.

The next day, she asked Jeff to move out.

So what is the moral of the story?

Have a little more appreciation for the housemates who just steal your food, and maybe consider background checks when moving in with people.
