1. You’re never 100% sure where the toilet roll is
Because they pee standing up, they leave it wherever is convenient for them. Which is not always particularly convenient for you.
2. And the toilet seat is almost always up
You’ve learned to double check, but not before you almost fell in one night.
3. They can be messy and disorganised…
A microwave on top of a washing machine on top of a dryer? Who does that? Oh. Lads.
4. …But give them a big project and they will commit
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Getting the garden ready for a summer BBQ, clearing out the cupboard under the stairs, unblocking the shower… They relish these challenges.
5. They have a monopoly on the telly
It’s a cliché, but anyone who’s lived with boys knows it’s true.
6. And you’ll come away a significant amount of obscure sports* knowledge, learned through osmosis
*Or facts about whatever else they happen to be into, be it table tennis or death metal.
7. You’ll learn to recognise an impressive fart or burp
8. And maybe, eventually, you’ll join in the competition
They’ll all be very surprised, but you’ll sense they now have an even deeper respect for you.
9. You’ll realise at some point that you’re completely starved of female company
What did you do before you were here, nodding along to a detailed analysis of the smell of a fart?
10. Because there’s no one around to attend to female matters
Like providing spare tampons or tanning your back.
11. But it will never, ever be boring
