Discussions

Addendum to my last post - a discussion with my brother, about things we hate at home. I'm glad I have someone who feels the same way as me about living with other people.

that's like my whole house
i am the mother figure
they boys get home from work, and the kitchen is clean, the dishes are done
Tash:
yeah, me too.
but man...****'s got the flu
and he's got this thing where if the bin is full
he'll just keep piling stuff on top
so the bin is piled with disgusting used tissues
and i'm just hoping that they'll be gone by the time i get home otherwise i'm gonna have to sass him
Nick:
housemates are so shit
Tash:
i know what the fuck, it's like none of them ever learned how to just fucking clean up after themselves
cept *****. he's an angel.
Nick:
you'd think that after seeing how much you clean, and how easy it is, they would feel bad, and atleast try
i spend, at the most, 30 minutes... dishes, kitchen tops, table tops, and sweep the floor... and the house is much better for it
Tash:
nah dude, the mind doesn't work like that. YOUR mind works like that but all they see is someone cleaning up after them
Nick:
and another thing...
people that leave an empty roll on the toilet roll holder...
Tash:
WHAT THE FUUUUCK
or people who don't buy toilet paper at all....let alone contribute to buying anything else in the house.
Nick:
it's like, if you had enough energy to get out of bed, but can't be bothered changing a toilet roll... somethings wrong there
Tash:
man, something's just fucking wrong with housemates straight up. i seriously don't get other people.
like, is there something wrong with ME because i'm not doing this?
oh man, but the worst housemate ever that i despised the most was *****
Nick:
breaking everything
Tash:
the toilet paper thing...
if she ran out of toilet paper, instead of putting the roll in the holder
she'd put it on top
Nick:
yeah, i think **** does that too
Tash:
it's the little things man....the little things that make you really snap. if you've got enough energy to put it there, why not put it on?
oh dude, ***** never dries his hands on a towel
Nick:
i can kind of understand that
Tash:
no, wait
the doorknobs get all wet
then he comes in and dries his hands on me.
Nick:
huh... well... i was about to say that, when i smell a towel/tea towel that hasn't been changed for weeks, it kinda makes me want to gag
Tash:
hahaha
ohhh i get all stabby when i see someone spill something on the floor then use the tea towel to wipe it up.
Nick:
yeah, we've only got 4!
and i'm the only one that washes them!
Tash:
sigh
the main thing in my house is the bins. that's what gets to me most.
Nick:
the entire kitchen is my private hell
Tash:
hahaha
Nick:
mainly the sink and fridge
the kitchen is cleaner after i've cooked, than after **** has cleaned
Tash:
hahahah
Nick:
i just don't understand what is wrong with that man. i clean up as i go, and it's EASY...
but after he's finished with the kitchen, there will be shit all over the counters, dirty cutlery everywhere, the milk/butter/something of mine that needs to be in the fridge will be sitting out
he forgets what he's doing half-way through it. like, once (i've probably told you), he was bringing in his washing, and half-way through... like, literally half-way - he had taken one of two pegs off a bed sheet - he went inside and read a magazine... and then went back out an hour later
okay, i'm getting carried away
Tash:
hahahahha
no it's cool man.
i'm going to do a blog post about share house ettiquette
i just need examples and things.
How Not to be a Fuckhead while living with Other People
Nick:
haha, sweet
finding our kitchen cloth submerged in greasy water, in a pot that could've been easily cleaned right after cooking but has been left so that everything is caked on and requires scrubbing, in a sink full of food scraps and dirty water
rather than dry, on the side
Tash:
yeahhh...dude i didn't use the kitchen for a couple of days and when i went to cook dinner one night, i cleaned it first, and i found a pan in the sink that had mold on it.
Nick:
eww
Tash:
and we have a DISHWASHER
Nick:
yeah, it doesn't even work if you try not to use the kitchen
actually, i'm thinking about saving up, and eating out for two weeks
Tash:
hahaha
Nick:
see what happens
gotta find all the cheap spots
and dinner deals
pub meals are my best bet
everything with a side of chips
Tash:
i hate the most when people use my stuff in the kitchen, like my good bowls and pots and stuff, then don't wash them. ***** ruined a cookie tray i'd just bought by burning the cookies then not cleaning the tray. it sat on the bench for a week before i just cleaned it myself.
Nick:
haha yeah, **** is slowly ruining ****'s colourful frying pan, but i don't see it... all i ever see is **** inspecting his pan, and being more and more disappointed
Tash:
awww
Nick:
he digs into the teflon with the spatula
it's all scratched up
and we had an oven tray that now can no longer be clean - there is oil on it that will not come off
Tash:
i haven't opened that box of saucepans mum bought me cause i'm too scared of what **** will do to them.
i think i might use them, clean them, then put them back in the box.
