Miscellaneous: Today, my flatmate asked me to wash the large pile of dishes...

Today, my flatmate asked me to wash the large pile of dishes on the bench, and if I would start on cleaning the house which was a total mess. This would have been fine if I hadn't just walked in after being away for a week. FML

Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML

Today, after a month of living in a pigsty of an apartment with my roommates, I spent the day cleaning the place out. When everyone returned home, instead of thanking me, all they could do was point out the spots I'd missed. FML

Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML

Today, I hired a cleaner to clean my apartment so when my in-laws visited tonight, they wouldn't think I was lazy. I got home from work, the cleaner hadn't shown at all, and my in-laws had arrived early. My mother-in-law is now mopping the floors. FML

Today, I walked in on one of my housemates pissing in the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes. FML

Today, my flatmate was once again passive aggressive and angry at me, despite being sweet and pleasant to everyone else. My crime? Putting a baking tray in the dishwasher without scrubbing it first. FML

Today, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML

Today, I washed all the dishes that had been piling in the sink over the week, and set them in the drying rack before I left for school. I came home to see that my dad’s girlfriend had put them back into the sink, along with her dirty dishes. She told me to re-wash them. Why? “They didn’t smell clean.” FML

Today, after I had the place to myself for a while and it was easy to clean, my roommate returned and I woke up to trash piling up, dishes everywhere, and luggage full of sweaty laundry. Oh, and it smells like poo again, because he doesn't regularly shower. I want to scream. FML

Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML

Sounds like someone thinks you're a maid service... I would put it all in his bed. Lol

You did them anyway? Why? It's your roommates trash and your roommates problem. Make your roommate do it on their own, because it's their problem.

I would put all that trash and dishes in his bedroom,bed and car then I would kick his lazy ass to the curb! Stop cleaning out people messes.

Were the dishes all yours? YDI if they had been in the sink for a week. It was rude of him/her to bring up chores that way--as most likely the mess is not all yours and you had just arrived. The op didn't deserve it unless all of the mess was his/hers.

"Today, my flatmate asked me to wash the large pile of dishes on the bench" ? The bench..? Never heard that term used in regards to anything dishes would ever be placed on. Anyway, sounds like you should move out and find someone that's a decent enough human to clean after themselves. Unless of course, you left the dishes there for a week.

YDI for being a doormat. You are under NO obligation to clean up your flatmate's mess. You have a right to refuse. If they don't like it, you can either kick them out and find a new flatmate, or find a new place and flatmate and leave this one to live with their mess

I know your feeling OP. It was so nice to do the bins right after coming back from a 2 week trip while my flatmates sat on their arses all the tile.

I know, its gross and nasty, but next time, don't do them. Just don't. If he doesn't like it, too bad. You're not there to take care of him and his dishes.
