Sloppy roomie

 

Help My Roommate is a Slob!

Roommates housekeeping make you look like Mr. Clean?

Is the mess driving you insane?

What do you do?

Have you decided to keep the Roomie? They are really a pretty fun soul.

1.       Keep your stuff put away. This way you will know where it is and it likely will not be used in your absence.

2.       Talk to your roomie so they can understand (on some level) what bothers you and what they can do to help.

3.       Decide the minimum rules you can live with. Would a line down the center of the room help? Can you live with spoiling food on the floor for the rest of the semester?

4.       Consider bagging and taking the trash with you when you go out the door.  

Most folks do not intend to annoy you. They just live differently. Consider trading tasks if you decide to toe the cleaning and trash emptying.
