I feel sad for the OP

However, I have a slightly different problem..... my roommate snores like demon (?)( I don't know. Can't think of anything better right now)...... causing me to have a lot of difficulty sleeping : (

Some advice is needed. preferably those who save troubles sleeping too. Should I fix myself or him?

this reminds me of that renting out on your own guide or w/e.

Live by yourself imo. It's the most convenient way without having to suffer through this. I had roomies once and quickly learned that although you can try to lead the camel to the water, who says they are going to drink? Stupid analogy but im sure you'll get the point.

I would just never interact with them. Buy a mini-fridge and hotplate, and use the fire-escape to come and go. Crawling out of the window is a small price to pay for not having to walk through their mess.

Edit: I guess this assumes you're housemates and not roomates... big difference. If you're roomates well then just get a new place.

O.o
Sounds exactly what I'm going through right now. At the moment, (considering I went through something similar last year), i'm just kind of trying to ignore it. Honestly, I wish people DID clean up after themselves.
The worst part - the largest contributer to the squalor has anger management issues, and is insanely defensive (to the point of absurdity). He will complain about how dishes are piling up in the sink, when 90% of them are his. Also, one time he borrowed one of my roommate's car, backed up into a pole and scratched some of the paint, and he got legitimately angry at the car lender when he was somewhat upset and wanted him to pay (oh my) $10.
I just don't get people sometimes.

Thanks for all the advice, really appreciate it.

Basically I'm living at a friend's place right now, I've taken my things out of the bathroom/living room/kitchen, and I lock my room door pretty much just using it as storage.

I'll see what happens after a while, if they clean up after themselves it would be best, but if not I'll just call my Reslife coordinator and have them thrown out. Once that happens random new roommates will be assigned, so hopefully they'll be better. I can't just pack up and leave because there are still 5 months left on the Res contract :S Thanks again!

Funny, I always hear americans talking about their roommates at uni, like it's some tradition that you should share room with another person. In Sweden almost no one has a roommate, we all live in apartments on our own. Many people live in a dorm though but not in the same friggin room/apartment.

How do you manage to stay mentally sane? Oh wait, I guess you don't lol

OP, you should yell at their lazy asses and tell them to either clean up their acts or get a fucking pounding.

I don't get people who really don't understand how to live with other human beings. I have had a couple of terrible roommates so far that I had to leave because they didn't understand very basic concepts.

If you have morning classes
-- shut off your alarm and get up, I don't want to hear you play the snooze button game.
-- don't turn on the T.V, at 7 A.M when you know I don't get up until 10.
-- what makes you think slamming doors is ok when I'm sleeping?
-- I'm not your mom, I will not wake you up every morning. If I have to get out of bed to shut off your own alarm and you miss your final exam -- deal with it.

god i hated that kid

i'm so respectful with these people but I get nothing back -- so i leave. it's not my job to lecture them on how to be human.

I shared apartment with two really fat dudes for a while. They usually stayed in their rooms all the time, but they liked to leave traces in the kitchen. Like big piles, or staples, of their empty fast food boxes in all colours and shapes. They piled them untill they went from the floor to the roof, then they started a new. Almost like a piece of art.

This.

That's fucking ridiculous. I'm living with two roommates in an apartment and it's going pretty damn well. I mean, sometimes dishes pile or something, but the place is always clean when the weekend comes around and we have girls over. I feel sorry for you man. It's such a bad situation for you cause you're outnumbered by a bunch of messy people.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

If it's as bad as you say, just talk to the owner of the property. Leaving it that dirty causes permanent damage - they might have to replace carpets and shit. Not cheap.

Also, I take shits in the lounge toilet on my floor because I honestly can't use the bathroom in our suite, I tried and puked so I won't try again.

I thought one of my flatmates were bad. This is like... Incredible?!
Glad you can stay somewhere else.

My flatmate started taking trash out and even clean SOME stuff (he "forgot" the floor, bathtub, sink while cleaning the bathroom) after I sort of stopped caring

yeah, my condolences!
