my roommate and i have lived together for over a year. she has never cleaned the house - not even one time.

she has never emptied the trash in the house, put the trash cans out on trash day and will never bring them in after they've been emptied. i'll leave the trashcans on the sidewalk for a week just to see if she'll bring them in and they will remain on the sidewalk until i bring them in. she also never throws stuff away. she'll open a box of food, leave the box on the counter. drink a soda, leave the soda on the counter. make tea, leave the tea bag on the counter. when she does attempt to throw something away, if the trashcan is full of course she won't empty it, she'll set the trash ON TOP OF THE TRASHCAN.

she has never paid for cleaning supplies. never cleans her dishes. i clean her dishes every single day, even several times a day to avoid mice/roaches/ants. the few times she's done her own dishes, the sponge is bone dry. this is because she just runs them under water and then puts them in the clean dishes rack. there will literally be chunks of greasy food in the saucepans, icecream still in the scooper, grease on all the plates, lipstick on the cups, etc. the dishes actually smell like whatever she just ate. this drives me especially crazy when she has the flu or a bad cold and still is completely careless...as if cold water will kill germs?!? i then have to waste water and re-clean every "clean" dish!!!

every single time after i bust my ass cleaning the entire house (once a week), without fail, the house will be messy again. an hour after i just disinfect and bleach the sink and counters, there will be crumbs covering the counter and something like spaghetti sauce splashed everywhere, staining the sink i just scrubbed the hell out of!!!!!!!

i feel like it's too late to say anything and i also feel like some people are just the way they are and you can't change them.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! there! i had to get all that off my chest. none of you are alone - i feel all your pain and i'm sure you feel mine. maybe we should all move in together :-)
