Am I the asshole?
90% of this mess belongs to one roommate. I asked him to clean it up several times so I can have room to eat at the table, but he said he’s busy, although half the days he sits on his phone in the kitchen scrolling through Instagram for 4 hours straight. He even asked me to take out his recyclables that had been piling up for months, on the left side of the table, but I refused. I informed him that none of those recyclables are mine, and if I have something to recycle, I take it out immediately. The dump is literally a minute walk away like bro, what is stopping you? 🤣 his response was, “well, I think sweeping and mopping are good enough.” To which I looked around and said, “the unit floor looks the same messy as it always has,” and he was like, “I meant later.” Okay, so first of all, how was supposed to know you were gonna do that? And second, since when does doing a chore that’s expected from all of us mean I owe you? When I swept and mopped in the past, I didn’t ask him to do any of my chores, so what gives? What is the logic behind this?
