People are sharing their 'worst housemate' stories and it is absolutely horrific stuff

REMEMBER WHEN YOU lived with that person in college who left dirty plates and mugs in their room for weeks? Well, they weren’t that bad.

People on Twitter are telling the stories of their worst ever housemates, and it is truly an eye-opener.

It all started when writer Dawn Foster shared a few of her own ‘worst flatmate’ stories, including these two delightful tidbits:

Also had a flatmate who would hide in the garden and watch you through cracks in the bedroom curtains/bathroom window, whispering in German

Also in uni lived with blokes who poured beer all over the kitchen floor every night and claimed it was a German tradition

From here, it gets a lot creepier and a lot smellier.

There were the housemates that were just plain irresponsible

@DawnHFoster didn't clean his teeth for first 6 weeks of house share. Urinated in cans @ night and left them around his room b/c lazy.

There were the strange ones

@DawnHFoster Had a row with his gf, chased her out and the next day EXORCISED THE FLAT WITH HOLY WATER. They didn't even break up.

@DawnHFoster housemate in uni would wait till someone left a bubble bath filling then go into the bathroom and do a massive, smelly poo.

@DawnHFoster after reading the replies I feel very lucky saying I only found a... *sighs* glass of... semen in the kitchen sink.

And then there are the ones who are just completely inexplicable

@DawnHFoster Used to leave brochure for her private 6th form college on display so people would know she went there. She was 30.

@DawnHFoster Didn't pay any rent, faked three break-ins and then disappeared after he shat all over the sofa after a night out.

‘Faked three break-ins?’ But how? Why?

People absolutely tore into Dan Aykroyd for praising the new Ghostbusters remake

THE FORTHCOMING ALL-female reboot of Ghostbusters has caused nothing but controversy since it was announced last year.

Whether it’s people (read: men) getting wound up about the film supposedly tarnishing the legacy of the original, accusing the ladies involved of not being funny or pledging to boycott it, it seems that it just can’t win.

Yesterday, Dan Aykroyd, who co-wrote and starred in the original, revealed on Facebook that he had seen the remake and gave it his blessing.

“Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first two films,” he wrote.

Source: Dan Aykroyd/Twitter

You would think that a warm vote of confidence from one of the franchise’s creators would silence some of the film’s detractors.

Unfortunately you would be wrong.

Instead people gave out to Aykroyd for “s**tting on” the original

You do realise he wrote it, guys?

Source: Dan Aykroyd/Facebook

And accused the filmmakers of only making the film “for money”

A film being made for money — imagine that?

Source: Dan Aykroyd/Facebook

While others went down the “Won’t somebody think of the children?” route

Source: Dan Aykroyd/Facebook

To recap: franchise creator defends new installment of franchise and fans preoccupied with protecting franchise still refuse to listen

There’s no pleasing some people, eh?

"The new Ghostbusters is tarnishing its legacy!"
"Bill Murray & Ernie Hudson are in it."
"Yeah but what about Akroyd?"
"He loves it."
"..."

Just nobody tell them this, yeah?

nobody tell the angry-about-ghostbusters crowd that every Shakespeare play used to have an all male cast too

15 of the fastest growing hipster baby names in Ireland

Source: AP/Press Association Images

TODAY, THE CSO released the list of the most popular baby names in Ireland for 2015.

Jack and Emily remain the most popular baby names in Ireland with the top five looking a little something like this…

Source: amy

But there are also tons of cool hipster baby names on the rise.

Like…

1. Mila

Source: Flickr

The big winner in this year’s baby name ranking? That would be Mila, which has entered the top 100 for the first time. In 2010, just 7 little Milas were born. Five years later and 72 Milas were registered in Ireland.

And with good reason: it’s adorable.

2. Ollie

Source: Flickr

Ah, Ollie. A good, honest name if ever there was one. And it’s back in vogue. In five short years, it’s climbed 135 places with 118 baby Ollies being born in Ireland last year.

Ollie Ollie Ollie, oi oi oi!

3. Isla

Source: Flickr

Ooh, Isla. Trés trendy altogether.

It is now the 73rd most popular name in Ireland. The power of Isla Fisher, perhaps?

4. Rosie

Source: Flickr

You would think that Rosie is the type of name to always be hanging around the lower regions of the top 100, but not so!

According to the CSO, this is Rosie’s first appearance inside the top 100, having climbed from 211th place in 2010. We blame Rosie Hackett.

5. Luca

Source: Flickr

Luke too passé for you? Why not take some inspiration from our Italian friends and name your little one Luca? It’s ranked 100th, so it’s still hipster enough to get away with.

6. Logan

Source: Flickr

Logan is one of the names that has experienced the most growth in popularity between 2010 and 2015. It is now the 59th most popular boys’ name in the country.

We can only assume their parents are all Johnny Logan superfans.

7. Sadie

Source: Flickr

No doubt about it, Sadie is an adorable name. No surprise then that it’s seriously on the rise –  it is now the 32nd most popular girls’ name in Ireland having languished in 177th place in 2010.

Nice work, Sadies.

8. Fiadh

9. Hugo

Source: Flickr

Lurking down in 91st place is Hugo, a name that entered the top 100 for the first time last year and shows no signs of shifting. You go, Hugo.

11. Maisie

Source: Flickr

In 82nd place, we have Maisie, which re-enters the top 100 after a two-year absence. It’s been gradually climbing the ranks since 2010 when it was ranked 124th. 

Get on it while it’s hot.

12. Amelia

Source: Flickr

Technically Amelia has been popular for years now, but let’s take a moment to appreciate how far it’s come: in 2010, it was 34th and now it’s 5th.

The force is strong with this one.

13. Mason

Source: Flickr

According to the CSO, Mason has experienced the most growth in popularity of any boys’ name over the last five years. Last year, 159 Masons were born, making it the 39th most popular name in the country.

What a time to be alive.

14. Annabelle

Source: Flickr

Breaking the top 100 for the first time is Annabelle (86th place), which has jumped 91 places since 2010.

Gorgeous, tbh.

15. Freya

Source: Flickr

Evidently, we have a lot of Norse mythology in Ireland as Freya, the goddess of love and fertility, is now the 33rd most popular name in Ireland.

Very exotic.

WE’RE FINALLY getting the summer we so deserve, but as we all know, it hangs on a delicate balance – just warm enough to not have to bring a jacket, but not so warm as to make us sweaty and annoyed.

This cartoon by Twisted Doodles perfectly describes this fine, fine line:
