So I live with a friend of mine who happens to be a slob, I had left the apartment for the night to be with my girl cuz she's been sick....i come back home this morning and well I'll let the pics speak for themselves....Keep in mind when I left the place was spotless and sparkling and all this damage was done in about 12 hours or so....I'd hate to see what would happen if I was gone for like 2 or 3 days...

And a question for you guys.....what should I do, I've already talked to him many times and warned him a few times I'd just throw all the dirty dishes on his bed.....should I follow through with my threat....cuz I know I'm going to render much satisfaction from it! :laugh:

And keep in mind there is a dishwasher right there too...and yea....nasty..
 
hmm. i guess i should clean up a bit more, since mine's just as messy 😱 😱


EDIT: err, except for the sink, wtf. lol
 
Get a new roomate next time?

I have the same problem at my place, but yours is nowhere near as bad as you believe it to be

I see no "damage"
 
I would take all of stuff that he left around and put it in a box then kindly leave it in his room. Like all of his dirty dishes, bottles, ect etc.
 
Maybe give him time to actually clean before bitching? I dunno. Does he have a habit of this? sounds like you're the maid and he realizes that, so what's his incentive to clean if he knows you're coming back to put your apron on?
 
Me and my wife had some issues when we first got married. I am a neat freak, can't relaz if everything is not perfect type where she is much more laid back. We had to come to a middle ground that we both could live with.

That said, a roommate is a lot different. Looks like that guy just doesn't do the simple act of putting this back where you found it. People don't change ther ehabits overnight so you may either have to learn to deal with it or kick him to the curb.
 
Within 12 hours, my guess is he should've cooked once for himself. So many dishes for one guy? may be he had a party 😕

haha I was gonna say the same thing...not that bad

 
That's not so horrible. I was expecting something like that other guy's thread where he was going to evict his tenant.
 
yeah, it gets annoying.

Nothing you can do about it if you already talked to him about it except
1) clean it yourself, and act like his maid
2) let the dishes sit there, and clean only your own, but move the ones you cleaned to your room so you can only use the dishes
3) move the dishes to his bathroom sink (my friends did that to their roommate)
...

After that, you just need to find someone new if it annoys you too much.
Only time dishes piled up for me was when I was in school with two projects, working, and finals. I let them pile up for a few weeks and my roommate ended up cleaning them. Felt really bad. He didn't have a problem with it, but I did.

At my parents' house, they almost never clean my dishes. I almost always clean my own. Best way anyways. Dad never cleans his own though, and then he bickers when I set the plate down in the sink for 30 minutes for a show. There have been a few times when my mom had gone out for the day, and he left his plates in the sink, and then the next day forgot about them and chastized me for leaving plates in the sink. It is so hypocritical. He is old and asian though, so whatever.
 
BS....

that burner spill-catcher looks like you've guys haven't cleaned in a couple months...

Given the mess, maybe he had people over last night.. maybe he made dinner for them, and maybe he just hasn't cleaned it up yet... have you bothered asking him, or just assumed?
 
That's nothing. Stop whining on ATOT and tell him to clean up if it's bothering you. A couple dishes, a half-assed scrubbing on the stove (except for the last pic), and a trip to the recycling problem should be more than enough to clean up the 'hell hole' your room-mate created.
