Just to reiterate, you are most likely in the wrong here and you should actively take steps to control your Korean odor. ___Just because people in the past haven't brought it up does not mean it wasn't an issue.___ I applaud your roommate because few people have the balls to actively complain about what pisses them off. | ||

The bathroom is your fault though, I don't keep my bathroom 100% clean all the time but it should not ever smell -_- I would draw the line on the food though, I'm sure there are food that he likes that you are not very fond of. What's with this guy, he doesn't eat any soup or hot food or anything? anything cooked will smell, if it doesn't then something is wrong with the cooking -_- | ||

He lives in a dorm and has to share a bathroom and hallway with a roommate, but they both have their own separate rooms. So my friend is a smoker and naturally the other guy is constantly complaining that he is "harming his health" and everything smells. He had never ever smoked in their shared room (where it isn't allowed) and always closed his door. Because of the constant complaining (several times a day when he's there - the guy also filed a few formal complaints but my friend was given right) he's already only smoking with his window open, STICKING HIS HEAD OUT and does not store anything he owns (that might smell - like clothes) in their shared rooms. Guess what, his roommate still harasses him constantly about it (also did that towel thing lol). Soon the semester is over and my friend will live somewhere else because the situation is that unbearable. I have lived together with 3 people, mostly different ones every year, for 3 years now and there always will be things you don't like: One is still cranking the heater up mid april and has a gf who has the habit of waking me up in the morning by whistling . The other one always leaves the kitchen in a mess but does not acknowledge it is her. One girl always gets on my nerves when she is bored (she is bored a lot). Another girl I had living here was obsessed with cleaning and used to wake me up at 4am by bringing drunk people in our house to eat pasta, often several times a week. I could go on... Point is, there are always thing you don't like and you just gotta accept that and move on. If you have zero tolerance get an apartment on your own. I have yet to find someone who doesn't have at least one thing that bothers me a bit, but that's how people are and i'm not really mad at them for it. | ||

 About the food. Some food smells some doesnt but what you can do is not throwing left over food into your garbage bin and let it rot there for several days, it is pretty disgusting and attracts flies. Your roommate is probably overreacting a bit but you are used to the smell of Kimchi and other korean food while your roommate is not. It's the same like garlic, people who ate it cant smell it anymore but everybody else will. So you got two choices, try to get your roommate to eat some korean food with you or bring out the leftovers after you ate. and opening windows helps too I heard. An AC does not produce fresh air  | ||

Rice I can understand, but kimchi every meal? Don't you get tired of it? Learn to make fried rice, miso soup, chili, curry, spagetthi, etc. These are all pretty easy things to make.... | ||

He also complained about his sink smelling like "smoke" the first week he moved in. ...and I renewed my lease with my current roommate for another year before it got this bad t.t. | ||

I was never taught how and my mom just did it along with other housework. I didn't wanna put in my OP that I didn't know how to clean a toilet.

Hotdogs/brauts/grilled food gotta have some on there, probably just my extremely german heritage lol. Granted every meal might be a bit over the top, but he shouldn't have his roommate dictating what he can and cannot eat. | ||

Get something like this: ![[image loading]](http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/81918/300.jpg) Pour a bunch in the bowl, after 10+ minutes scrub the inside bowl with: ![[image loading]](http://www.bellbrush.com/images/_2008_TOI003.jpg) Then use a sponge with hot water + the comet bleach stuff around the rest of the toilet. | ||

Smelly food and a slightly unkept bathroom is seriously nothing to complain about. The fact that you actually care about his absurd complaints and even took the time to clean up your bathroom makes you sound like a great roommate to me. This is why I made this blog. I was wondering if I'm in the wrong or if hes just blowing things outta proportion. He complains about every little thing that isn't clean or smells even a little bit. The vent thing still surprises me though becuz we each have our doors closed and his a/c vent is closed. It's not like im anywhere near him when i eat. I bought some clorox stuff and pour it around my toilet then scrubbed it with the sponge and letting it sit for 10 minutes now. I also sprayed a differnt clorox spray for surfaces on the exterior of my toilet and the floor around it and wiped it clean. But I really don't think I can take much more of this. The manager wasn't in the office today but I gave them my number so they can call me when she gets in. I'm gonna try and see if there's any way I can go back on my renewal with him. Anyways i did my part and cleaned the bathroom so just gonna try to stay outta his way till he ccomplains about something else agian.. | ||
