why dont roomates clean???

i cant stand being the only one.
her trash/dishes sit there until i say something (3-7) days later.
so last night i get all the trash together to be tossed... she has to pass the trash can to get to her car..... there are like 2 boxes and a trash bag that i put in front of the door so we can take at least one down on the way out. this morning she just knocks everything down and leaves without taking ANYTHING.... dude you PASS the trash can on the way to the car.
so i say something about it and she goes on about how she does clean.... BULLSHIT. i have to tell her to clean her shit. she did the all the dishes a totally of 2 times and its like i owe her something hahah. dont touch my crap... ill do it. if you wanna talk about who owes who... its me when ive gotta deal with tossing used tampons that havent been wrapped up.
do your roomates a favor and at least clean your own shit!!!!
im done.

Wow, your roommate sounds like a total asshat. You have my sympathies. Reminds me of the evil exboyfriend- never ever cleaned. I wanted to kill him for it. Instead I just moved out.

this is why i live alone now.

I just got a new roomate recently and she keeps her stuff as neat as mine. It's kind of refreshing. I've had the roomates from hell in the past and thought all roomates must be like that... but as i've found recently... I just chose the wrong people to live with.

living alone costs a lot more, but it's so fucking worth it.

Ditto of a ditto.

The extra money I pay for rent is well worth the peace of mind I get knowing that 1.) rent will be in on time; 2.) things will be as clean or as dirty as I allow them to be; 3.) no more having to deal with psycho roommates and their friends; 4.) I can walk around my house naked and not be arrested for it

haha thanks. i think im going to start putting everything of hers in the middle of her room.

HAHAH! ooh my!!! keep the toliet paper in your room?? haha hide it from ur rommie.

Roommates are filthy creaturs. Get a spray bottle full of ice and water and spritz them in the nose when they make a mess, then rub their nose in it.

This is why I will be living alone (it's only 2 weeks to go, but I'm so itching to get out of this dump it's driving me crazy).

things I hate about my flatmate

i like having roommates because then i can blame them for my mess.

i would sell my soul for a half-way clean roomie.

Have you sat her down and really told her the what's what? Are you in a position (i.e. the primary leaseholder) to give an ultimatum? I once lived in a house with six other people, three of whom refused to clean up after themselves in the common areas. It got so bad that the leaseholder made a list of specifics (among them, no dishes left overnight and assigned trash days) that everyone was required to follow. If anyone didn't want to comply, they could get the fuck out. Two people got the fuck out within the month, and we replaced them with two really cool roomies who rendered the stupid chore chart obsolete.

On a less adult, less constructive point:
Used tampons? Toss 'em on her pillow and tell her not to leave that shit lying around. That's just beyond the pale.

Sometimes people think they are clean, when they really aren't. My last roommate used to claim he was neat, but really, he wasn't. When he moved out, I threw out the sheets he used, steam cleaned the mattress, and deep cleaned both his bathroom and the one he kept his cat in, which was grosser than gross. Oh well, thank god he's gone.

Put her dirty stuff in her room. She may get the point.

Thank god, I have 2 awesome temporary roommates, and when they're gone, it's just me & the pup!!!

I always hear people claiming to be the "clean roomate" and no one owning up to being the messy one. Either someone's lying or everyone I know is super-neat.

great idea. i really have position to do that though. i couldnt pay the rent without her. but tossing the tampons on her pillow i can do!! haha. <3

makes me so glad i have my one bedroom apartment all to myself

I don't know, girls can be equally bad. I loved my ex roomie but fuck she was messy. Different color hair dye stains all over the bathroom, hair and make up everywhere. I wont even get into it about her room, I will just pass along this little story. One day she was sniffing around like cat trying to find out where this smell was coming from. She came to my room then back to hers then yells "found it." It was a used condom that was left in the corner of the room.

One day when I was a slobby teenager (opposed to the slobby 30-something I am now) my dad got so fed up with me leaving my messes everywhere that upon heading to bed I discovered my dirtied dishes under my pillow.


Of course, it didn't work - but it's still a good story.

a room says alot about a person.
mine.

her's.



i HAD to do it. hahah.
