    P = Pasha D = Deborah T = Tamara L = Luke M = Mairi


    C = Chris Ch = Chaenara R = Relwyn
    P: Hi. My name is Pasha, I work for the BBC as a producer and I do a lot
    of DJing in my spare time. I’ve lived in London for many years now with
    my friends and sometimes I annoy them with my music. What about
    you? Do you have any annoying habits?
    D: I bite my nails and I probably talk a bit too loudly.
    T: I’m really bad at making decisions – that’s one of my annoying habits.
    L: Er, yes. Basically, taking off clothes when I’m getting changed and
    leaving them exactly where I am, and not putting them where they
    should be.
    M: I’m very messy, which is quite annoying, I think, for my boyfriend
    anyway.
    C: Yes, I do. I’m told that I snore when I’m in bed.
    Ch: I would have to say, babbling around the topic sometimes because I
    think out loud, so, you know, taking a long time to get to the point of
    something I think would be annoying.
    R: Erm, not that I know of. Probably talking too much.
    P: Do you have any experience of flat-sharing?
    T: Absolutely. As a student I shared flats quite a lot, and just, different
    people have different ways of doing things. I’m someone who likes to
    keep things clean and tidy and I guess a lot of students are just not
    fussed about that.
    D: I’ve always lived with friends so it’s always, we’ve always got on well
    and had a really nice experience.
    L: I’ve had some experience of flat-sharing about three years ago. People
    that are basically very untidy. Their habits that I, kind of, could not
    stand – bad hygiene.
    M: Yes, when I was a student – two of my flatmates decided to learn the
    bongos – that was really annoying.

    C: Yes, when I was a student, I shared with five different people, one of
    whom was very noisy and they would play music early in the morning
    when I was trying to sleep. So, in rever-, return, I would play music late
    at night when they were trying to sleep, just to get my own back.
    P: What habits or qualities in a flatmate would you find most annoying?
    D: I think if they were messy, then that would be very annoying and also
    maybe if they were a bit too loud:came back partying late at night. I
    think that would be hard.
    L: Smoking. Smoking would be, er, definitely up there. I can’t stand
    smokers. And I can’t stand people that, sort of, leave their washing-up.
    M: Well, I wouldn’t like to live with me because I’m really messy, so if there
    was two of us sharing a flat that were messy like that, it would just be
    impossible.
    T: Filth. Someone who, you know, someone who’s untidy, who’s dirty
    because that impacts on you. Everything else is really not a big deal,
    but when you’re flat-sharing, definitely tidiness is, is very important.
    R: Not tidying up after themselves; leaving a mess after cooking – that
    sort of stuff.
    C: I think people that are untidy: in particular people that don’t do the
    dishes after they’ve cooked a meal and leave them in the sink and
    don’t clear them up. I find that annoying. So I like tidy people.
    Ch: I believe if I had a flatmate that was insensitive to my lifestyle needs
    and didn’t compromise in any capacity, I would think they were very
    selfish.
