Grrrr...room mate rant! Why can't people clean?

You guys need to come up with a duty list. Rotate chores around so the same person isn't doing the same thing all the time. Roommates can be hard to live with. There is always gonna be something that drives one of you nuts!

 

Quote:That is so true, it is hard living with someone else that does not like cleanliness like you do. Of course there is the extreme where they are clean freaks and drive you nuts

A chore list would be a great idea! Good luck

 

I hear ya! There were four of us guys that shared a place...I did the cooking cuz well I could and they would mess up ice...well they got to clean-up...they decided it would be funny to not clean up to see if i would...they got hungry eventually and cleaned...of course the greatest part was that two guys were in each bedroom with their own bathroom...me and my roomy were slobs! Clothes everywhere just nasty...the other guys made their beds......well a female friend came over and wasn't about to use the slob's bathroom...until she looked...ours was cleaner! Just cuz we were messy didn't mean we were nasty! Best of luck! It is usually best to talk...they may not even realize you are the one cleaning.

 

And if you keep doing it... they will just let you keep cleaning.

 

kick them out and get two hens!

 

Yeah well, you just KNOW that on some OTHER message board is something to the effect of:

"I get along well with my roommates in general, but SHEESH, this one girl keeps vacuuming and vacuuming, and wants us to leave our shoes off in the apartment, can you believe it? I told her that's not how we do it at home, we want to keep our feet warm and make our socks last longer, but she completely ignores my request to wear shoes. Then there's the issue with the hair! What is it with her! She's always wiping hair off of things. People shed hair. Cleaning once every week or two was fine for my mom and it's fine for me too. Seems like no one here understands that! Same with the stove and the counters. It drives me nuts! And she expects me to SHARE her obsession! What's up with that?"

LOL

Just wait til you get married. Just as bad (you may THINK you can find someone with no incompatible habits, but HAH) and much much less you can DO about it

(I do sympathize, I've had plenty of weird or nice-but-slightly-annoying-habits roommates over the years. But, you know, welcome to the world )

Quote:Yeah, I have one or two friends that I was careful never to share an apartment with because I wanted to STAY friends. And once, when sharing a house with someone whose job was supposed to be washing to dishes, filled a garbage bag with dirty dishes and put it out on the carport so we could use the kitchen. They were still there when we moved out! Hubby and I have had our issues but he was never THAT bad. Just hang in there and dream of when you'll have your own place!

 

lets trade places. You can come live here with my hubby and two kids, dog and cat inside! You'll LOVE IT.
