Living with other people isn’t for the faint of heart.

Whether it’s siblings, roommates, or a romantic partner, lots of compromise usually has to take place for everyone to live peacefully.

This person was doing all the dishes, so he found a sly and creative way to get a small amount of satisfaction.

I’ve been throwing away my roommates’ dirty dishes instead of cleaning them

So my roommates are messy as hell. The sink is always full of gross dishes that nobody wants to touch.

At first I was the one scrubbing everything because I couldn’t stand it, but after a while I just got fed up.

One night, something changed.

One night I looked at this plate that had been sitting there for like a week with dried food welded onto it and I just thought, nah, screw this.

I tossed it straight in the trash. Didn’t say a word.

He doesn’t feel badly about it either.

And honestly… it felt kinda amazing. So now every once in a while if something’s really nasty and I don’t wanna deal with it, I just throw it out. I’ll replace a plate or mug here and there, but mostly I don’t care.

The funny part is my roommates have started accusing each other of “stealing” their cups and pans, and I just sit there acting confused. They have no idea it’s me.

Yeah, I know it’s wasteful, but it I think it’s their fault for being filthy jerks.

Well, I don’t see how anyone could fault him for this.

Let’s hear from Reddit, though.

They say it might not go as planned.

You’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.

Ain’t that the truth.

This person thinks he might be being too nice.

He could try talking to them.

Some people take forever to grow up.

Or it never happens at all.
