Self Responsibility....and a vent...

Ok honestly...some people are GENUINELY COO COO! Like certifiably....

As we all know here, I'm one for debate. I like to argue sides of a point and have a healthy discussion. But when you're TOTALLY and COMPLETELY blinds

ided that you can't even argue a logical and equivocal point, I'm sorry i just can't find myself agreeing.

Take my roommate for example. We have been fighting over cleaning responsibilities. Now he believes since he can't clean a dish properly it's fair that he is responsible for cleaning the bathroom and I'll take the kitchen. That's fine but here's where the problem lies: after much badgering (because apparently his previous, catering roommate used to do it for him) I finally got him to do his own dishes (even if they sit there for a few days). But he won't put them away. I just conducted an experiment where I would blatantly wash, dry and put away my dishes and not use our dish rack and the rack hasn't been emptied for almost a week (::side eye::). Also, there's grime in the oven (probably from bar-b-que chicken which he cooks and has on more than one occasion left OVERNIGHT in the oven...which I next to never use), that every time he cooks, funks up the house. He told me I wasn't used to smelling meat because I'm a pescatarian. NO IDIOT I JUST DON'T LIKE MY HOUSE SMELLING LIKE BURNING! I ate meat for 22 years WTF?! In addition, I don't really drink, actually rarely ever except socially and he doesn't takes out his bottles or the trash, even when it smells. Just lets it accumulate next to the trash. Unless I mention it or I just do it myself which I have been for weeks now. And I'm sure in his head he can count the countless times he's done it...Oh no I kept a journal. Did I mention I don't drink? Did I also mention the bottle bag was so full the other day I came home and there was broken glass all over the floor because it had spilled over?

This brings me to the bathroom. While seemingly meticulous, he can scrub the hell out of a tub and sink, however, the crevices between are left unattended and our shower curtain was NEVER touched. Much to my protest it went 3 months as such (with mold in the folds) until the other day I stormed around the house, threw it out

 and bought another.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, in a perfect world where all things are equal, he would do the entire bathroom cleaning as I would the entire kitchen cleaning say, once a week. However, daily chores like the trashes and putting the dishes away would be shared right? Not according to him...

When I brought up all my frustrations and why I had been acting like a bitch from coming home exhausted to messes I knew I would have to clean up, his response was "you gotta be kidding me." I offerered to SCOUR the entire hose today and tommorow but stated something has to change and illustrated all the ways he was driving me batty. Then he equated a tampon in the TRASH to all the filth. TRASH I TAKE OUT. And mind you , he's seen maybe 1 or 2 tampons in SIX MONTHS while on top of all this I've had to hear encounters I just didn't need to if you catch my drift and the levels of inappropriateness. And I'm very good about my hygiene (although I can't say the same for others), they're always wrapped and secure and what's funnier is I'm even sure he's talking about seeing the applicators and not actual tampons HA! His other alter argument is my curly hair is everywhere. A little note about me, while in the shower I make a habit to grab my shed and throw it away. I forgot once, which he will consistently bring up. What he doesn't bring up is how disgusting it is that he washes people's hair in our kitchen sink (he'll even take dirty dishes out, put them on the counter, and put them right back), cuts hair in our living room, cuts his own hair and beard over our bathroom sink and until I said something toothbrushes (I had to throw out two), and his shavings are in EVERY PART OF THE HOUSE. Same level? hmmm I DON'T THINK SO!

So Head Casers...tell me, am I crazy? For wanting someone to help me out with shared spaces? Please let me know if I'm wrong...even better please let me know if there are any openings in your buildings..because while it's ok for your OWN room to be filthy
shared spaces are NOT ok!
