I met room mate coming up the stairs and he said hi. So the note says that if i use his pots I'm to clean them straight away instead of leaving them in the sink for "day on end" or not use them. And when he uses the sink he has to clean it. That I'm not to leave dirty pans and dishes in the sink because he has to take them out and then clean the sink. And I'm to leave the kitchen as I found it - wash down counters, table and put stuff away. Now this pisses me off because my total kitchen cutlery consists of a knife and fork and spoon, a plate a cereal bowl and a frying pan. I borrow one of his big pots to cook spaghetti in. I dont have the money to buy my own pots. Secondly he wasn't man enough to say it to my face. And thirdly he keeps shoving stuff in my tiny little shelf - my beer, my kitchen roll, my breakfast cereal,etc. So what if its on the counter? He also has a tv in our flat and doesn't have a tv license. That pisses me off, b/c the fine is like 500 euros. Hes constantly banging around after midnight, keeping me awake. He keeps putting his food in my already over packed shelf in the fridge. And once he even came back and demanded to use the oven when I was preheating it. So, he writes a note, making out Im the difficult one to live with when all I do is leave stuff in the sink and on the counter... So far I left the note where I found it, seemingly unread. My dishes are still in the sink and the kiutchen roll is on the counter. And thats the way its gonna stay until he says something to my face and I get to take him to town.

It's a pain in the ass to have to clean up after someone elses mess. We don't have a kitchen in our dorm and my roomate will always leave bowls uncleaned in the sink that is supposed to be used to brush our teeth and wash our hands and it makes it impossible to do either because the bowls are taking up so much space. Plus we don't have a big drain so it even harder to clean up because I have to clean out all the food that is stuck trying to go down the drain clogging up the sink. Clean the dishes up and talk to him about the other stuff that's bothering you. cheesilicious Posted at 8:45 am on Dec. 5, 2008 I think maybe the two of you should sit down and have a reasonable discussion about any rules you think you should live by.  You should both respect that not everyone likes to live the same.  Maybe you could explain that you will make an effort to be tidy if he respects your personal storage space and stuff. Neither of you are necessarily 'difficult', you just have different standards and need to try to compromise if you want to live together without constantly arguing. xx katyrose Posted at 7:54 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 Well hun, not all of us like messes. And, whats wrong with not telling it to your face. One of my roomates left ymy other one a note that said please dont f*** in the tub. cause she was doing that nightly fir hours. Notes are menat to be kind, and so like you know it, and he dont feel intimidated asking you. hheartstrongg Posted at 8:23 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 That's pretty ridiculous, I would talk to him and tell him he's being really unreasonable. nik1 Posted at 2:10 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 So the note says that if i use his pots I'm to clean them straight away instead of leaving them in the sink for "day on end" or not use them. And when he uses the sink he has to clean it.     Sounds like you should clean up after yourself. That I'm not to leave dirty pans and dishes in the sink because he has to take them out and then clean the sink.     Again, clean up after yourself And I'm to leave the kitchen as I found it - wash down counters, table and put stuff away.     As much to your benefit as his...clean up after yourself Now this pisses me off because my total kitchen cutlery consists of a knife and fork and spoon, a plate a cereal bowl and a frying pan. I borrow one of his big pots to cook spaghetti in. I dont have the money to buy my own pots.     You lack of kitchen ware is not his problem.  If you are going to use his stuff ask him and take care of it.  Your lack of money is not his problem.   Secondly he wasn't man enough to say it to my face.     Agree....should have sat down with you and discussed it rationally and come to an agreement.  Chicken shit! And thirdly he keeps shoving stuff in my tiny little shelf - my beer, my kitchen roll, my breakfast cereal,etc. So what if its on the counter?     Once bad habits are allowed to get out of hand a kitchen becomes a haven for pests like roaches, ants and rodents.  Keep it clean. He also has a tv in our flat and doesn't have a tv license. That pisses me off, b/c the fine is like 500 euros.     It's his TV and not your concern. Hes constantly banging around after midnight, keeping me awake.     Talk to him about it.  Don't just complain to everyone else.  Not much different than him writing you a note. He keeps putting his food in my already over packed shelf in the fridge.     Talk to him about it. And once he even came back and demanded to use the oven when I was preheating it.     Discuss it with him.  Don't just bitch about it. So, he writes a note, making out Im the difficult one to live with when all I do is leave stuff in the sink and on the counter...     Discuss it with him maturely and rationally.   So far I left the note where I found it, seemingly unread. My dishes are still in the sink and the kiutchen roll is on the counter.     Two bullheads that egos are competing with each other. And thats the way its gonna stay until he says something to my face and I get to take him to town.     One of you needs to be the mature one. tell me again Posted at 5:34 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Confront him, but be reasonable so that he knows he's being told off but has no real reason to blow up at you. Then take satisfaction in his frustration. wingedmisery Posted at 4:40 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 passive aggressive much? My old roommates and I used to leave notes for each other because we didn't want to confront each other face to face. casesensitive30 Posted at 1:57 am on Nov. 16, 2008 he aired his grievance about his pots and pans..  you didn't tell him your issues with him. man up, and do it. La Motta Posted at 2:25 am on Nov. 6, 2008 He sounds like a bit of a queer to be honest. filliam Posted at 4:06 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 slap taht fool austin s23 Posted at 4:03 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 mean* kitts Posted at 4:03 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 God, what a dick austin s23 Posted at 4:02 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 hes ma Moonlight32 Posted at 4:02 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 Yeah! i wuld b so pissed off @ him rite now. krmart Posted at 4:01 pm on Nov. 5, 2008 That's Gay!
