• Nicole: Oh Alex, I'm so glad I called. You wouldn't believe what my last housemate used to do. He'd literally label every single egg in the carton with a black marker. Not just initials, but little numbers and expiry dates. If I accidentally used egg number four instead of egg number three, he'd have a full breakdown in the ____ .
• Alex: Labeling eggs? That's incredible. Did he ____ with his own padlocks too?
• Nicole: Almost! He also kept on complaining about the bills split, even though I paid my share every single month on the first. Honestly, living with him was a nightmare. He'd never want to ____ , he'd just leave passive-aggressive notes everywhere.
• Alex: That sounds like a classic ____ flatmate. Now let's go to Mike calling from Chorlton. Mike, what's your worst flatmate memory?
