Housemate annoys me a bit.

fonecrusher1 · 01-11-2010 09:09PM #1

Im living in a house with 2 women, myself & another dude. For the last 3 months ive been seeing to the recycling & rubbish being thrown in their respective bins when needed. Its not a big deal, only takes a few minutes. But ive noticed the other guy hasn't bothered his hole taking out the rubbish once since i moved in? I put this to the test last week by just leaving the bags in the kitchen get more & more full of rubbish till it was blatantly obvious they needed throwing in the bin. This lazy person ignored the problem till one of the girls (when i was out) actually threw them out.
I was kind of embarrassed as i'd prefer to do it than see either of the girls do it. Of all of us, he spends the most amount of time in the house so he must be aware of the problem.

Now its not a huge deal but why should i have to sort the rubbish every single time? Its a houseshare, as in share the bills, cleaning, bins etc..??! As i speak the rubbish in the kitchen bins has built up again & still this guy is waiting for me or one of the girls to sort it. He's not a bad guy but this needs sorting.

Would this piss you off? or would you let it slide?

Because its not my house? And if someone told me take out the rubbish i'd tell them to piss off.

Pick up all the rubbish in the house and just leave his there. He'd have to be really dumb not to get the message. And if it all piles up, just sweep it into his room.

I know there are better ways of dealing with it, I just choose to ignore them.

Then politely ask him?
No, it's not your house, but you've to live there! I presume when he moved in he was told all the housework and whatever was gonna be done equally.

And why are you embarrassed about the girl taking out the rubbish? Surely she should do her fair share too

starbelgrade · 01-11-2010 09:16PM

Tickle his balls with a feather duster when he's asleep, then jack off on his face.

Well if ye can't sort out this problem like grown ups, then I'm out of ideas. I'm sure you'll get plenty of ridiculous and hilarious responses now though.

You are right. If the guy does not have the brains to figure out taking rubbish out, then he is nearly 100% gonna be annoyed if you mention it to him.

Kick him out, leave yourself or just keep taking rubbish out yourself. Only three options.

Nulty · 01-11-2010 09:17PM

If you think he won't cry, play with it. Be imaginative. Don't just solve the problem....thats just boring and he will never learn his lesson

Why shouldn't the girls share in the bin duties?

Nor is it not his house, so why should he?

easyeason3 · 01-11-2010 09:20PM

Leave the rubbish on his bed. If he doesn't take it out then I suppose you could say he's a lazy bastard alright.

Gunsfortoys · 01-11-2010 09:20PM

Let it build up and if anyone says anything to you, just tell them, "it's his turn".

scientific1982 · 01-11-2010 09:44PM

Best way to do it diplomatically would be to draw up a cleaning roster.

Best way to do it undiplomatically would be to grab him by the ear and shove his face in the rubbish.

EverEvolving · 01-11-2010 09:50PM

Write "take out the bins" in the mirror in the bathroom when it is steamed up from a shower.

If he doesn't get the hint, you know he doesn't wash his hands either.

orourkeda · 01-11-2010 09:51PM

Pick up said bin.

Transport said bin to the immediate vicinity of the offender in question.

Pour contents of said bin over the aforementioned offender and politely remind him that bins don't take themselves out.

Repeat process until a satisfactory result is acquired. Subtlety does not work with lazy ignorant people and it's best for everyone that you get straight to the point.

3 months sounds like a complete piss take

I agree. Like when your training a puppy and it ****s on the kitchen floor. What do you do? You rub his nose in it. Take this technique onto the human side of things. He'll get the picture.

Have sex with the two girls in the house.

Because it annoys you more then him + think girls are too girly to deal with rubbish?

dr ro · 01-11-2010 10:56PM

yeah i agree, have sex with the girls. Also, maybe he just hasn't noticed the bins, and isn't deliberately ignoring them. Some people are like that, don't notice things

I'll take 'pretend to be tough'

stab him.

--LOS-- · 01-11-2010 11:04PM

seriously OP?
It's pretty pathetic to be making this into a big deal. Just mention to him that he should put out the bins like everyone else if it's a problem. Most times in my houseshare I'm the one that looks after emptying the bins, leaving the bins out for collection etc, if anyone else helps out grand, if not it's not something that would bother me, I'd far rather do it myself than sit about analysing the situation or planting 'tests' for your housemates to see if they'll take out the rubbish or not, it's not worth bad feeling in the house over something pathetic like that. If you haven't actually brought up the problem with the housemate, you've nothing to be complaining about.

PanchoVilla · 01-11-2010 11:12PM

Replace his shampoo with hair removal cream, that's always good for a laugh.

stiffler123 · 01-11-2010 11:15PM

You sound really uptight OP, glad I don't share a gaf with you.

A rota of housework? Obvious to you isnt always obvious to everyone else...

sesna · 01-11-2010 11:22PM

Move out and get a place for yourself. Then you dont have to put up with other people. Otherwise put up and shut up.

flyton5 · 01-11-2010 11:22PM

**** into his socks...
