context: my new place has us taking turns for cleaning. This week’s me and partner’s turn, and we typically wait for weekends bc being a teacher is fucking exhausting. A roommate apparently bangs on our door when I’m not home, and my partner is, leads partner to the bathroom, and tells him that “this is how you clean a bathroom”.

Apparently we don’t clean shit, just “wipe and call it Done”. Partner reports that 1) the bathroom smelled like bleach and could still feel dirt on the bathtub and 2) hard water stains remained and 3) floor wasn’t swept.

So, I take the time after work (so I’m already physically exhausted) and properly clean everything with good old elbow grease and Barkeeper’s Friend. (God I hate hard water stains.) I also take the time to clean the kitchen, which... dear lord the poor thing has so much oil caked on it... and roommate calls it clean. TF.

At 3:45 in the damn morning, when I have to be up at 5am, he comes banging on our door, and when I’m up he says none of my work “doesn’t count” and “a black man shouldn’t be doing your work” because this is where the comment about us not cleaning and just wiping shit down comes from.

I tell him about the time and he’s just “I don’t care- don’t disrespect me” and all I can do is stare at him because again, it’s 3:45 in the morning and I am tired as fuck.

I couldn’t get a word in because he kept saying the stuff above. I personally think he’s being a damn hypocrite with the disrespect comment, since he’s already disrespected me by waking me up when I don’t get a lot of sleep in the first place. Not to mention that he has never seen us clean, so where does he come from with this accusation???

I don’t even trust the cleaning supplies he has, shit looks crusty as fuck, so I use my own! Swiffers, Barkeeper’s Friend, the works. The only cleaning shit they had was fucking.... bleach and disinfectant spray in the bathroom. And some floor cleaner but not even the good kind.

What makes this priceless is that comment about making him clean- IT WAS NOT YOUR TURN, YOU MORON. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO. I’m also POC!! I’m Mexican!!! HELLO?????

so yeah aita

nta because he sounds like he does a shit job already, and rather than like compare or go over shit, he goes in at the worst time and expects respect. fuck him

FinalCrosMayCry2: thankies it eases a lot

This morning I check the chore list and he’s scribbled most of our chore list out. Petty.

Yeah nta. If he’s expecting respect he should be giving the same courtesy

trevenant: Honestly!!! If it were 4pm I’d hear him out. 3 am????? wtf

That’s our chore tracker, specifically our week.

It also got worse

If he didn't want to be shown up, he could do it right the first time.

It’s so obvious!!! I left everything spotless!

Wanna know the worst part. This is only our third month into this lease

UPDATE: Landlord was contacted and dear lord he was on my side. DEAR LORD HE WAS ON MY SIDE

NICE

Honestly this dude sounds about as coherent as our downstairs neighbor back in CT, who freaked out at the tiniest creak of floorboards and took it as a personal attack.

(Also once accused us of deliberately flushing our toilet when she was trying to use the shower, which. We couldn't hear her damn shower.)

setecastronomy: bruh????? Fucking HOW???? dead ass what is with bad roommates/neighbors

Hell if I know.

Hilariously, the one time she would have been justified (company rolled in from the airport after 1 AM, complete with luggage)? Not a peep.

She banged on her ceiling at us for
/checks notes
dropping a tube of chapstick.
a DVD yeeting itself out of the TV's side-mounted drive.
resting quietly.

THE FUCKING SAGA CONTINUES YALL

it’s hard to see but dear lord

But then. BUT THEN OUR LANDLORD

he went and sent out an email being like “mind yo business!!!”
