I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine! I probably would have taken it out if I had realized it was full. I’m an adult and this is my house, I try to keep it clean. “We need to clean up around here!” - What does that mean? Do you want me to clean? Are you going to clean? I thought things were pretty clean, is there something specific that needs cleaning?

Also me and my mom can’t live together because we do dishes differently. I am a “fill and start the dishwasher” person and she is a “Empty the sink” kind of person.

    The lack of cleaning, really. When someone makes a mess and just leaves it. I live in a small apartment with 2 other people, and those other two people are slobs. I am the only one who ever cleans up anything in this damn place. 😡 FFS, it’s so small there is no reason, even laziness, to justify not throwing away your garbage when there is a trash can within reach of your chair.

      Leaving trash around is so gross.

      Especially rotten food! I just got rid of someone I was renting my basement out to and they had left rotten food all over the place. Like, having an empty amazon box in your room is one thing, but rotting left overs just sitting out? Disgusting beyond reason.
