If chores weren’t discussed yet, that’s exactly why both people should use common sense in the meantime. Noticing a full trash can and taking it out isn’t a ‘style of life’. it’s basic shared living. Communication matters but so does personal initiative. It’s not entitlement to expect another adult to act like one.
Common sense is not the same as “he hasn’t taken out the trash and only he should because hes a man”. Thats dumb and preceeds on expectations nobody knows about. The other female roommate did but it just bothered her he hadn’t. In reality both those people were messy roommates but the point still stands that if you want shit done just say it
