How do I confront my gross roommate?
I have been living with my roommate (29F) and myself (27F) for about 8 months now.
She always had her little quirks, but now, it has started to get really bad.
So initially, she would always put my towel on the floor. I would put my towel on a hanger in the bathroom.
Then, whenever she has used the bathroom, for some reason, she lays my towel on the floor.
I asked her about this, and she said it helps my towel dry quicker. I said that it’s kind of her.
But I think it is a little unhygienic to place my towel on the floor.
This woman’s roommate woke her up in the middle of the night.
Last night, she called me out of my bed at 01:30 in the morning because she came home from a party.
And the door to the elevators of our building was not working.
So instead of her using the staircase, she decided to call me and wake me up so I can come downstairs to open the door for the elevator from the inside out.
I did tell her this morning that I did not appreciate that.
She asked her roommate to stop slamming the door.
Also, she is now dating this guy, and every morning, he wakes up very, very early and makes a crap ton of noise.
She also slams the doors and stomps around the appartment. I have asked her multiple times to stop slamming the front door.
The closet in my room is literally shaking every time she slams that freaking door.
But the thing that has really put me over the edge happened this morning.
I had bought a new dishwasher brush to wash the pans and stuff.
She found her roommate using her dishwasher brush to clean her shoes.
When just 30 minutes later, she walks into the kitchen and puts her dirty shoes on the countertop.
She starts brushing and cleaning them with the dishwasher brush!
The brush that not only I had bought 30 minutes prior, but that I use for the dishes!!!
Like, is this woman okay? I am guessing she has done that before and it is absolutely filthy.
What do I do?
Eww… Anybody with a roommate like that would probably feel frustrated. Cleaning dirty shoes with a brush that’s meant for washing dishes is simply gross. It’s understandable why OP felt that way.
Here’s a possible answer.
This person shares what they usually do.
