Users of the anonymous confessions app, Whisper, have recounted some of their most awkward experiences living with members of the opposite sex.

From pecuilar hygiene practices to semi-nudity, some of these tales will leave you cringing.

One user said she was nervous about walking around naked but others complained that they had become so nervous around each other that they made other people uncomfortable when they came over.

Others got irritated by their flatmates' personal habits including leaving beard hairs lying in the sink and one man who had an "addiction to pornography and eating everything".

Some expressed a desire to be more than friends saying they had fallen for their roommates

But one woman said she sometimes catches her roomate trying to watch her coming in and out of the shower.

What are your embarrassing roommate stories? Let us know in the comments.
