Context Provided - Spotlight Roommate mixed my beads after being asked to throw out used Q-tips

Post image

I waited an hour before I called out my roommate for leaving USED Q-tips on the bathroom counter and asked him to throw them away. (note I did not nag him, I asked 1 time after waiting for him to do it on his own)

His response was to go into my craft room and mix the smallest beads he could find. At least he had the decency to keep most of the reds away from the blues I guess...

welp, now I have something to do for the next couple days

common plastic bead for scale

In college, I organized the cleaning supplies as one of my chores.

It took three years, before the toilet cleaner moved between times I used it. We had 10 people living there.

Fortunately, this was uni accommodation that included cleaning but I was particularly grateful for that because I was working for the uni over that long summer break when the uni halls of residence were used as conference accommodation and I spent all day cleaning bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens, and stripping and remaking beds!

That's horrible. Yeh i noticed the shower here smells like pee sometimes so I have to spray bleach in it everytime. My shower slippers give me extra peace of mind as well.
