A fair question.

I've directly communicated numerous concerns. I have to follow up with him daily to do his dishes and to clean the grease he leaves on the stove and wall. I have to chase after him weekly to toss his expired food. I had to ask him three times to clean the thick layer of brown filth he and his partner left on the tub as he continues to fail to follow my instructions to spray and wipe it down after each shower. He informed me that he had already "cleaned" the tub, but had left behind all the filth and large clumps of dried hair. (Sorry to be graphic.) I constantly have to ask them to pick up their miscellaneous belongings and random trash that they leave everywhere in my living space.

For a tidy gentleman like myself, it's hell. In a way the fire is a blessing in that it should result in him exiting sooner rather than later.

Very Oscar Wildelike.

From a slob’s perspective I’ve heard plenty about doing the fair share of the cleaning and being reasonable in shared spaces. On the other hand, I never considered it my problem if the other person expected things immaculate. I was like I’ll do half the cleaning but we have to meet somewhere in the middle about how clean. I was only willing to do my share to keep things reasonably clean, not grandma clean. If cleaning the tub and wiping grease off the wall is daily for you and that’s like monthly **** to me wouldn’t be reasonable to do that deep clean stuff like every ten days or so? You don’t like cleaning his **** but he doesn’t like cleaning **** that doesn’t need to be cleaned (from his POV)

It's curious that you say that - I am compared to Wilde with some frequency! Though I confess that my knowledge of the fellow is painfully inadequate. I understand that often people are drawing parallels to our respective outlandish attire, but I'm not directly familiar with his philosophy. Forgive me!

Another reasonable observation; thank you. I did arrive at that on my own after some time and realized that I was exhausting myself unnecessarily. I settled into a routine of asking him to clean up after himself only after permitting a fair window of opportunity for him to do it on his own and only when the mess reached a threshold of my tolerability.

The tub was a slow build up of his failure to employ the simple maintenance steps I'd previously requested, and I let it go for a few months before reaching my breaking point. The routine of expired food requires weekly follow ups or else I find mold forming on mysterious takeaway substances that he and his partner neglect indefinitely until I raise the issue.

Basically, any mess will remain a permanent fixture until I voice a concern. There are candy bar wrappers on my dining room table that he's left for about a week and I'm almost tempted to see if they outlast him as an experiment.

My sincerest apologies for prattling on. He is my burden to bear for accepting him into my home to begin with and I'll be rid of him soon enough. It will be marvelous to have my peace back and to be able to invite company over again one day.

Sounds like he’s just plain immature.

I will if you paint your faces and drink nothing but Faygo.
