So I have a new roommate who just moved into our townhome w/ me & one other person, a little over a month ago (other roommate owns the home, so she found/vetted her). She seems nice enough.

I’d noticed little cleanliness issues in our shared bathroom already, like putting her toothbrush next to mine on the shelf without a case or in its own holder (mine is in a case & it kinda grosses me out that her wet toothbrush keeps touching it). I’d also noticed droplets on the toilet seat that weren’t wiped after use & not taking the tiny trash can out after filling it.

The thing that bugs me the most, though, is leaving laundry in the machine for DAYS after its done. There had been three different occasions where she left clothes in the dryer & I’d go to put my stuff in there, but first needed to take all of her stuff out, set it on top, & then proceed. Idk, maybe it’s not a big deal for some, but I make it a point to remove my stuff asap once the machine finishes.

So last night, I’d gotten home & needed to do laundry. Went to open the washer (surprise, surprise) her clothes are in there. At this point, it was 9pm, I was tired & annoyed, so I put her wet clothes on top of the dryer & put my stuff in. About 30 mins later she texted & asked why I put her clothes on top of the dryer instead of inside & starting it. I responded, “I would appreciate if you would be more mindful of getting your clothes out of the machine when it’s done, so I don’t have to keep taking it out/putting it in for you. Thank you!”

I could’ve knocked on her door, but it was closed & lights were off, so I assumed she had gone to bed. Also, maybe the petty side of me wanted to get my point across this way. 🤷🏾‍♀️
