If you have ever been a student or worked in a big city more than likely you will have encountered your fair share of housemates and eccentric people. From the grumpy guy that won’t speak in a morning until he has had a cup of coffee to the night owl who gets munchies and devours all your fridge food to the person who never changes (or buys) the toilet roll. Yep, it’s always the small things that make you snap. In a BIG way.

I used to love a TV programme called This Life. A drama all about a bunch of law school graduates living in a large house share in London. We all wanted Anna and Miles to get together.

Sometimes you hit lucky and get the perfect mix of people living in house harmony, but I would say this is a rare thing and there is usually at least one person who is the sand in your wet swimming trunks.

The 8 Most Likely People to Meet in a House Share infographic from the lovely people at Gumtree is a great relevant piece of content for their audience – rentals and room shares. As I keep preaching: relevancy is at the top of the list for successful content.

The infographic reads more like a cartoon and isn’t technically an infographic but illustrates the stereotypes found in house shares with high quality graphics and amusing well written descriptions.

The layout is very clean and clear with no frills but delivers the information well. Overall I like this piece and it is accompanied by a well written and humorous article.

I would give The 8 Most Likely People to Meet in a House Share infographic a 7.5 out of 10.
