How did you deal with roomates that didn't know how to clean or didnt clean at all?

Question

I'd like to hear funny stories!

-not me but my ex-roomate peed on his current roomates toothbrush and pillow after an entire year of telling him to turn off the TV if he thought he was falling asleep.

sykchyk - well personally, i was much cleaner than my ex and I was considerate and asking permission for stuff like, "is the TV bothering you" and even if he didnt say so, i'd turn it off in 5 minutes. And what he did was nasty but if you knew that guy in person, you wouldnt think so.

Answer 1

I cleaned everything. Then I got married and decided I wasn't anyone's doormat anymore.

Answer 2

I can't tell you a funny story but my advice is MOVE.

Slobs tend to be people who were slobs as children and neat-freaks tend to be people who were constantly re-arranging the top of their dresser at the age of five (raises hand). This is a type of personality that really never changes. I am compulsively organized and have been as far back as I remember (I'm talking kindergarten and making sure my clothes were in the closet by type and color.) My husband was the same way as far back as he could remember. It is one reason why we are married....no arguments about sloppy behaviors. We would be classified as anal retentive and personally I have no problem with this and think that a touch of OCD can benefit anyone. On the opposite spectrum, you have people who are anal explosive and those people are the ones whose live flying by the seat of their pants and do not have the same compulsive tendencies when it comes to neatness. Ok, there are all-out slobs. These are the people whose bookbag and desks were jammed with balled up papers when they were children.

Being neat or being a slob is like being a night person or day person. It is ingrained in them and no amount of beating your child senseless or screaming at your roommate/spouse is going to change that.

Answer 3

Ewwwwww! I hate nasty people!

By the way, your ex-roommate is a disgusting person! You'd have to have no moral standard whatsoever to pee on someone's toothbrush or pillow!

I fail to see how you can find that funny. Can you imagine the stuff he did to YOU (without your knowledge) when the two of you were living together?

Anyone who'd pee on someone else's belongings is capable of absolutely anything!

Answer 4

The boyfriend has forbid you? surprisingly sturdy words. Do you reside there hire-loose with the aid of fact thats the only way i will see why you havent pronounced something yet. that's approximately admire for the two events. The roommate would not admire you whilst he helps his friends to consume your nutrition. in case you dont touch his then why is he allowing friends to consume yours? Mark up each and all of the bins at the same time with your call on the outdoors. And keep a number of it on your room. No reason to even adress the undertaking to this roommate with the aid of fact it is your nutrition. maintaining the consumer-friendly section clean is approximately well being and maintaining it pest loose (sorry no longer the roommate yet ants and cockroaches). point out on your boyfriend you observed bugs and he desires to concentration on it. regardless of you do dont freshen up after him.

Answer 5

I agree with doing stuff to get back at rommates for not cleaning up but I would never take it that far to pee on the tooth brush and pillow thats nasty

Answer 6

My old boyfriends roommate would get drunk all the time. When he was drunk he'd come out to the kitchen thinking it was the bathroom. Open the fridge and pee. He would never clean it up because he did not believe he did it. Til we filmed him one night. After that we put a metal spoon through the handle so he would not open it.

Answer 7

well that sounded childish. i just go in and turn the tv down after my husband falls asleep.

as for the question of how you deal with a messy roommate, leave the mess for the sloppy person and move out.

Answer 8

i had to deal with a dirty roommate who did not EVER learn how to clean. she would leave the milk in her bowl after cereal and leave it in the sink for days!. i am a clean freak as it is so i would usually clean up after her. but then it just got old and nasty! i finally didnt clean it just to see how long SHE would leave it sitting there. and after four days i finally had to dump it. so i told her "im not asking you to put it in the dish washer just to simply rinse the milk out" after she noticed that it bugged me she helped a little but not a lot. just face it some people just can't be clean!

Answer 9

Divide up the areas and anything that doesn't belong in your area just throw it in the floor in the area of whoever it belongs to.

Answer 10

haha yeah. i know someone whos roommate made him so mad about not cleaning his room he tossed all this dirty clothes and garbage into his roommates girlfriends room, she yelled at him and it made him clean up his act!
