I’m sure that the saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” is nothing more than a wives’ tale used to scare people into being neat and tidy. Well apparently nobody explained this saying to my roommate and his girlfriend. Who knows which one is more disgusting but what I know for sure is that they both deserve each other. Obviously they both missed the cleanliness train. First the girlfriend leaves her used tampon on the bathroom floor, miles from the trash bin. Second the boy (who is my actual roommate but you wouldn’t know it considering the girlfriend practically lives there) loves to cook and bake but has no appreciation for cleaning up after himself. It is almost nearly a week since he baked his “magical” brownies but you wouldn’t have guessed it by the looks of the kitchen. It seems like a tornado hit the kitchen. Whenever he cooks/bakes he has this tendency to use up every available space and leave every piece of garbage out on the counter top. Not only does he need the kitchen to cook but he also requires the living room because apparently the kitchen is just way too small for him. Now, the straw that broke the camel’s back, one of those two tarts left a big, disgusting shit pile in the toilet with wads of toilet paper. I was utterly disgusted. When I do my business in the bathroom, I always see to it that it is as neat and clean as when I went in it. I ALWAYS FLUSH! If the toilet bowl is clogged, I make sure to unclog it. It is no ones responsibility but my own. My mother, grandmother, aunt, and the rest of my family taught me this. You clean up after yourself. You don’t leave puddles of water after you shower, you mop the bathroom up. When you use a dish, you clean it once you are done and put it back. Your room has to be somewhat tidy and your bed almost always made. These were just a few simple lessons I learned growing up. Most of my friends adhere to these rules. There is no need for a handbook on how to be an adult (although I would totally love one). Shoot every Saturday morning my mom had us cleaning the whole entire house, even the walls! I was always stuck on bathroom duty and eventually I loved it. The house was spic and span on weekends. During the weekdays my chore was always to clean the dishes after dinner. Since my sisters did all the cooking, I always thought I had it easy. I’m sure that I wasn’t the only with chores growing up. So why on god’s green earth are these two shit bags one of the most disgustingest people in the world! WHY! I’m not a neat freak nor am I truly an OCD person. I’m more or less neat but by no means am I a dirty individual. I understand the laziness involved with not wanting to do the dishes right away, so I completely understand and won’t complain if they are there for three to four days- tops. UGH disgusting, utterly disgusting.
PS the toilet bowl looked almost identical to the picture. YUCK!
Thanks goodness for Ms. Janis Joplin in the morning or I’d be a total nut bag.
