How to live in a shared house and not destroy each other.

Ah the hazy months of winter.
Times were simpler back then.
End of semester exams seemed so very far away, hall lunches tasted moderately nicer and you spoke to everyone you knew with a smile on your face because you loved them and they let you borrow their straighteners.

Come the dark, dark months of Spring though and something’s gone horribly wrong.
No longer are your friendship groups the close knit community you thought they were and people have begun whispering to each other in dark corners.
There is an evil stirring in Mordor and you curse fate for letting you meet these people and not those cool kids in the other block.
Alas, it is all too late.
Houses have been picked and contracts signed with blood.
However, if the prospect of spending a year with the medical student who eats his toe nails or the leisure studies student who eats all your food and never washes up proves a bit too much for you to handle, never fear. Manchester After Dark comes flying through the window to be your superman.
Below are a number of common grievances students encounter in a shared house. Just choose the affliction that matches the person giving you stress lumps, cut it out and nail it to their door, cupboard or head.
That way you can point them in the right direction for redemption and hopefully a frictionless year together without the need for a nail gun fight.
