Man Refuses to Clean Roommates’ ‘Disgusting’ Bathroom, Moldy Dishes and Dog Pee, Insists He Is Not Their Maid

One man has taken a stand against his messy roommates, refusing to clean up after their ‘disgusting’ bathroom, moldy dishes, and dog pee, and making it clear that he is not their maid. The man, who turned to the Reddit community for advice, shared his frustrations over being the only one responsible for cleaning shared spaces in the house, despite living with friends he’s known since high school.

Since moving in back in 2022, the man has been the sole person cleaning the bathroom, particularly highlighting the grimy mess left behind by one of his roommates, Jerry. Describing Jerry’s bathroom habits as appalling, the man detailed a scene of cluttered bottles, creams, damp towels, and hair clogging the sink and shower area. Despite his efforts to maintain cleanliness, Jerry’s corner of the shower remained untouched by the man’s cleaning spree.

Things came to a head when a piece of caulking from Jerry’s side of the tub ended up on the man’s bath sponge, leaving him feeling infuriated and questioning whether it was intentional or simply careless. The man expressed his frustration at the lack of communication with Jerry, who often remained locked away in his room, avoiding confrontation over the cleanliness issues in the shared living spaces.

The bathroom woes extended beyond Jerry’s neglect, with the kitchen also becoming a nightmare due to dirty dishes left by Jerry and his girlfriend, Daisy. Mold growth on plates and unfinished drinks became a common sight, further adding to the man’s frustration over the lack of cleanliness and consideration from his roommates.

A chaotic incident involving Daisy’s dog locked inside the house and leaving messes all over the floor added to the man’s grievances. Despite the man and his other roommate, Mark, cleaning up the mess and taking care of the dog’s needs, Daisy failed to acknowledge the situation and later asked the man to walk and feed the dog, claiming she didn’t have time. This incident further strained the already tense living situation.

Now faced with the dilemma of how to address the issue with his roommates without escalating conflict, the man seeks advice on holding Jerry and Daisy accountable for their share in maintaining cleanliness in the household. Feeling taken for granted for his efforts in maintaining a clean living environment, the man contemplates the best approach to encourage his roommates to take responsibility for their actions.

The man’s Reddit post has garnered attention and empathy from others facing similar challenges with messy roommates or housemates. The story serves as a reminder of the importance of mutual respect, communication, and shared responsibility in maintaining a harmonious living environment with others. By setting clear boundaries and expectations, the man hopes to foster a more collaborative and considerate living arrangement with his roommates moving forward.
