I’m sorry if I have ever doubted anyones reasons for why they can’t get along with their roommates lifestyle. I spent so long in filth, starving, eating junk food, all because I’m tired of cleaning up messes.

Heavy on the starving bc you cant stand to cook in a dirty kitchen but also can’t clean their messes every day

I feel this, my roommate had so many dishes in the sink that I couldn’t even fill up my water. When I left for spring break, there were a ton of dishes in the sink and she cleaned them because she stayed there for break, I came back and there was a new pile. I don’t wanna come back to a messy dorm. I’m also the one who cooked the most when I was able so I don’t know how she had it that bad.

This is my boyfriend. He lives with his parents, originally to care for his aging father, but has been taking steps to leave because it is so unhealthy for him. His dad and his mom’s roommate leave the kitchen in such a mess. His dad is constantly spilling things, leaves food rotting in the fridge, constant dishes in the sink, no one cleans them except he and his mom. And they would get it sparkling, only to find it filthy again just a couple hours later.

I’ve lost 15 pounds this past few months bc I just cannot. Do it. Anymore. I’ve begged and pleaded just for nothing to change. Some people deserve to live by themselves in their garbage.

He and his mom got so tired of being the only people cleaning that they both just eat out, get fast food and junk food. His dad’s hygiene is horrific as well, so he gets anxiety about eating any food that’s in the house that his dad has touched. Constant cross contamination, his dad doesn’t wash his hands, it’s just too much on him now. I’ve been to his apartment and have been helping him make a plan to leave because it’s just awful. The whole place is a mess except my bf’s room.

Exactly. I eat but it’s like never any good food because there’s always stuff to do before I just cook when I feel like it. Even the “clean” pots aren’t clean and they barely been here a few months but my nonstick pans aren’t clean basically damaged because they didn’t know how to use it. So gross and not fun to deal with.

I know it’s hard but stand up for yourself! You got this. Make it a rule to have a clear sink before they leave the kitchen or some other rule that would encourage better behaviors. Even if a temporary super strict rule you need to do something.

Same here with my pans being damaged. Her food has rotten onto mine twice in the pantry. The battle is literally too big to fight anymore. I was nice for 1.5 semesters and then I finally broke down and told her she was nasty in a not so nice way. So, now the problem is even worse lol. I move at the end of July so just surviving on McDonald’s till then 🫠

We have a roach infestation. I spray pesticides monthly. I cried to her over the bugs and how badly it effects me mentally and she said I was overreacting bc it’s “just a bug”

The longer you look, the worse it gets. Oh btw she has a dog that’s suppose to live in there somehow.

Not understanding why people can’t clean up behind themselves. It’s disgusting, especially being a female.
