If the 21 notes you’ve already posted around the house haven’t made a difference…do you really think the 22nd is going to be the one that finally clicks? Just a thought!

Yikes...
I think my favorite parts of this are where she started to spell “one” as “won” and spelled “upon” as “apon.”
Also she is obviously totally insane, and she definitely look into renting a studio and shutting the f*ck up.

The housemate, not the note writer, sounds like a delight to live with, and should perhaps buy their own food and do their own dAmn dishes before kvelling about notes. Sympathy=none.

In the note-writer’s defense, it IS common sense that you should do your own d&mned dishes, clean up after yourself (in the kitchen, and also your shaving “leavings”), and not steal food that you didn’t buy, or let your guests do that either. We have disgusting pig and thief where I currently live and we all HATE him. Notes don’t work, threats don’t work, telling him in person doesn’t work… I can see how it leads one to go nuts.

Some of these are reasonable requests, some of them are a matter of imposing personal preference. I for one dislike going shoeless unnecessarily, including indoors. And, unless you have a kitten or puppy, there’s no reason to enforce leaving the lid down on the toilet apart from bitchiness. And telling his/her housemates they can’t bring people home from the bar to stay overnight? That’s unnecessarily prudish and interfering. I agree that this person needs to get themselves a studio pronto.

Uninspired Required Name
I feel this persons pain. My Husband and I had to stay with his dad for a while when we moved, the man had four cats in his house that didn’t use the litter boxes because he never cleaned them. He never cleaned up when they used the bathroom on the floor, nor when they vomited. He left a….something (probably a vegetable) on a shelf so long it turned into a black puddle that he let drip onto the floor for three days before *I* cleaned it up. It may seem like the note writer is being pissy, but you don’t know what the people they’re living with are like. Perhaps the notes are the nicest way they have of trying to say “Stop being useless inconsiderate slobs and act like adults!” I feel so sorry for them. FYI, it took me 4 weeks to get that house picked up….I don’t think it was ever clean though…

Excessive, but I’m totally Team Notewriter. I’ve had roommates like the one she’s bitching about. They are impossible to live with, and it’s usually because they have no consideration for other people.
Dirty dishes/stolen food/uncleaned vomit/late-night party pad 4 nights a week leads me to believe that this girl probably doesn’t feel comfortable in the common areas anymore and has been holed up in her room for weeks.
Best thing to do about people like her roomies is to just leave. Just move out. Don’t write stupid notes. Don’t get into arguments with them. Just leave at the end of the month.

People seem to be ignoring/unaware of a little thing called a housing contract. It seems likely this is a student let, in which case the note writer probably doesn’t have the money to live alone, and will be in contract for the house for the full academic year/unable to find another house share mid-year. I had a slob for a housemate in my first year; there was nothing to do but wait till the time came to sign contracts for the next year and then tell him he wasn’t welcome in our house any more, we had to live with it until the time was up.

Good gracious – it takes two to tango, doesn’t it? I would encourage talking to the messy, inconsiderate roommate in a direct, polite manner if note-writer wants any real change while waiting for the lease agreement to expire (alluding to “you’re a complete idiot” with the “if you don’t know how to wash the dishes, ask” or “it’s common sense for most of us” — really, being insulting to the messy roomie isn’t helpful to note-writer’s cause and makes it unlikely that the messy roomie will have any desire to make note-writer happy) – then, if that doesn’t work, move. Honestly, both seem like good candidates for living alone.

Team Notewriter all the way. This definitely sounds like off-campus children’s…I mean, student housing. I live in a similar situation but can’t move because I’m in the middle of my lease. Our upstairs neighbors have wood floors and yet still insist on clomping around like elephants in their boots at 3am. Some people just can’t think outside of their own little world.

so whoever this is is yelling at the fact that there is garbage and trash everywhere, yet they’re leaving a paper trail of garbage everywhere in the house. here’s another rule for the notewriter, clean up after yourself. No one wants to go around the house making sure your notes end up in the correct receptacle.

Granted, the notewriter has perfectly reasonable complaints, but the notes also reflect the kind of personality that would bring up these issues significantly more than they actually happened. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were responses to one incident.
All that being said, I think the notewriter needs to move somewhere not in such close proximity to a bar and let someone who appreciates it take his/her place. The bar is obviously a major source of irritation.

Ah, I remember student housing days. Moving is probably not an option if they are mid-lease. I’m sympathetic with Team Notewriter– it sounds like her roommate(s?) is an inconsiderate glass bowl– but the note writing is not the most mature way to handle it (assuming she didn’t already have a face-to-face). I had a roommate pile all of my dirty dishes into a pan and leave them on my bed once. At first I was pissed, but then I thought about it and decided that she was right. I washed my dishes and made sure that it never happened again.

I’d love a little back story from the submitter. Have these things been done, or are these “preventative” notes? Or maybe a former roommate did them and the writer thinks everyone will do it?
Some of them are, I guess, reasonable. Like the puke one, but to make everyone take off their shoes? That’s just way too OCD for a roommate.

I wouldn’t want to live with either the notewriter or the others. However, I come down on the side of the puking, nonrecycling, mud-tracking, food-stealing, bringing-sexual-partners-home-from-the-bar roommates. Leaving this many notes is a pattern that suggests the notewriter is too picky for what she’s living with(and yes, I agree it’s probably student housing) and if her response to not getting what she wants is rude notes passing judgment on her roommates, I’d get her in trouble for harassment. (The message comparing houseguests to trash is pretty much harassment all by itself.) Presumably the roommates aren’t quite model roommates and can’t complain, though, because the notewriter has probably witnessed a few infractions she didn’t report to the housing authority.

God I would never write this many notes, for a few reasons:
1 – I’m not a fuckwit
2 – I would be concerned about my flatmates losing it and stabbing me in my sleep
3 – I couldn’t possibly hope to live up to being the picture of flatmate perfection – which is EXACTLY what the note writer had better be if she’s picking on everyone else’s habits. One dirty dish or stray hair and her flatmates would be all up in her face about it. I would hope so anyway..

It is hard to assess the situation because we don’t have a time frame. Did these percieved “violations” happen within a span of a week or 6 months. It makes a difference.
I had a roommate that would complain about something like 8 months after the fact, like: Oh no not again.
The note writer seems to be THE problem, they are the one who appears to have made a bad decision about a lot of things.

If you have the misfortune to find yourself forced to live with this woman, try this idea. Purchase any paper dictionary book. Put up a page of it on every note you find. A page of words. More pages of words. Words words everywhere! Paste pages from the unabridged oxford (printed off on computer) all over the house!
If one roommate can’t sit down and discuss or even write out house rules with another, those people need to find different digs and homies.

I once had a roommate and the other roommates got annoyed with him for leaving drops of pee on the toilette seat.
So one time, he had to take a urine sample for a physical but somehow he got distracted and left the styrofoam cup on the back of the toilette. I asked him, “Why is there pee on the toilette.” and he flew into a rage so I let the matter drop.
A month later he’s tells, “Hm… Did you notice that there is a cup of moldy pee on the toilette? It must have been here for a while.” And I say, “Yes. I did notice that.”

This is why I can’t live with someone unless it’s one of the following: 1) Someone I’m related to, 2) Someone I’ve known for years (i.e. 10+ usually), or 3) Someone I’m in a relationship with. I like my personal space too much and don’t deal well with control freaks or people trying to tell me what to do and when to do it. I’m an adult, I’ll do it when I feel like it, not when you want me to. I’d probably remove all paper or paper substitutes and writing instruments from the house/apartment so no more notes could be written. This person obviously has issues.

Paddington
I lived in a share house in Paddington (Sydney) years ago – in the middle of the nightclub precinct – and 2 minutes walk to the art school I went to. My flatmates went out pretty much every night, they were massive slobs – and I could have written every single one of these notes. When I complained about being woken up by 6 people dancing in the loungeroom at 3am the day before an exam, my flatmate said “With rent this cheap, in the heart of Paddington, if you don’t like it, move out – we’ll find someone else before the weekend.”
So – clearly he was not the kindest person – but the thing is – he was right. I’d moved into a house where the lifestyle was clubbing, drinking and excess. Leaving pious little notes about smoking, trash and recycling would have been insane. Took me 2 months to save enough bond to move out – and in the meantime I kept a low profile.
This note writer is trying to control the uncontrollable (including who her flatmates sleep with). Insane.
To notewriter – get out of that house now – not when the lease is up, and get help.

You guys really aren’t being very fair. There’s no evidence or proof that this person hasn’t tried talking to her roommates about these issues. Something tells me that anyone who doesn’t naturally know that all these things are wrong (seriously?? Covering up vomit instead of cleaning it up?) isn’t going to listen to their roommate tell them it needs to be fixed. All of these notes could be the last-ditch attempt (after addressing it verbally and in person) to fix the nastiness before moving out, for all we know.
I’m on the notewriter’s team. Plus, she has very nice handwriting. And she’s totally addicted to using “…” which makes me laugh.

I think I lived in this house, only I was the “disgusting roommate” (minus the vomit. That IS gross). That being said, dishes in the sink = a spoon. Eating their food = once I used a salt shaker. Stuff in the kitchen = mail that the other roommate had thrown on the table and had sat there less than an hour. Drunk friends from the bar = friend who came to visit from out of town and stayed on the floor in my room. Partying into the night = coming home from my security job at 3am and making myself a snack. Really, people who are passive aggresive tend to a) blow things entirely out of proportion and b) never ask, but demand you do something in their sniping little notes. I’m not filthy person by any means, but leave me noted like this and I’m DEFINITELY going to do those thing just to piss you off!

Seriously, people need to stop sterilizing everything in sight, it isn’t even healthy if you don’t have a compromised immune system for some reason.

I’m team notewriter, but solely because I have lived with a psycho roommate and I feel her pain. Moving out was NOT an option, so I had to deal with a girl who would sneak beer into our apartment (we were both underage at the time–her man of the moment would buy it for her), she would do her laundry and then leave her wet clothes (because EVERYTHING she owned was ‘too delicate for the dryer’) hanging over every surface in the apartment. Doorknobs, kitchen counters, the damn kitchen table AND chairs, the bathroom counters, wherever she found space. She tried several times to start shit between our other roommate and I, and in the end she ended up getting herself kicked out of the apartment. Crazy and I shared a bedroom, and when she got extremely insane during the last couple months I started sleeping on the couch in the living room rather than be in the same room with her. I’m not saying the notewriter here is completely blameless, but when you live with other people you have to let SOME of the little things slide. I’d be okay with sauce on the stove as long as you pick up your own puke. It’s a give and take situation.

I understand a lot of her complaints are reasonable, but from experience with having roommates, leaving little notes everywhere instead of addressing the issue in person in a mature and polite way, will more than likely annoy the other person instead of getting the point across. Especially if it was the first time the person did one of those things. Maybe they were running late to class and hoped out of the shower in a hurry to get dressed.
But to call other people trash and say they can’t bring anyone home with them after the bar… They pay rent too so if they want someone to come home with them and sleep in the their bed with them then they can do that.

in response to Deprogrammed’s comment “Why oh why live with smokers?” I do not smoke and have two roommates who rent from me who both smoke. We manage to get along fine simply by establishing from the very start that smoking inside is not allowed at all. They have ash trays outside on the front and back porches and can smoke out there all they want. It’s not unreasonably to ask that of someone if it’s your place.

I’ll agree that covering puke with a newspaper is pretty gross….
BUT
From reading these post-its, the writer appears to me to be completely freaking nuts, to the point where I doubt A LOT that it actually happened. Sounds to me like someone was sick at a party (shit happens) and it wasnt cleaned right away (noshit… who cleans puke when they are drunk to the point of puking?!?).
Overall just another crazy self-rightous bitch who would be better living on her own. Respect is not a one way street. You cannot demand from someone that they live according to your rules and your schedual, not unless you are ready to do the same.

I enjoy a mess. I enjoy living until 3 am. I enjoy bringing people back from the bar. I enjoy smoking inside.
If we are both paying the rent, can you explain to me exactly why your lifestyle should be the one imposed?

I’m team Notewriter….though I think she needs to hurry up and get her own place already, obviously she’s not getting through. Her roommates sound like pigs. She’s cheeky, but she makes valid points about things that should be common sense and respectful.
I’d hate to see the house they live in. I couldn’t live with them either at the sounds of it.

i totally had roommates like this in college- i was going to leave passive aggressive notes back but then i realized i had better things to do with my time rather than bitch about mickey mouse dish rags being used as dish rags. (apparently novelty characters on a product cancels out the intended use… )

This one just made me really love my roommates, and the fact that when there’s a problem around the house it’s a pretty rare occasion, and never this severe. That, and we’re all adult enough to just cordially say something about it before it can turn into a major issue. No sarcastic and belittling note-writing going on around here. This entire household sounds really awful tbh. Team nobody!

Direct confrontation seems to be the ideal means of conflict resolution with roommates, but I’ve been in a highly exceptional situation wherein direct confrontation to a roommate about his slobbiness lead to him leaving a passive aggressive note on the backsplash.
Well, it wasn’t so much a passive aggressive note as a it was an incredibly psychotic note that essentially said, “How dare you make the princess lift a finger, I’m not your sexy and manly mother, you guys are nuts for making me clean your (actually his) mess.” (I’m paraphrasing, but with parts of this are taken from what he wrote.)
And then he threw dishes at us. We were not sorry to see him go.

I would be this angry if I lived with a bunch of lazy, nasty, inconsiderate children too. Some people don’t have a choice, either, so “just moving out” might not be an option for everyone. I had to live with assholes like this but moving out was an option. My last night there I knocked everything in the kitchen on the floor and the poor louisiana sauce splashed on the wall. When asked what happened, I told them that I was just cleaning up and went to fucking bed.

Wow. I guess I’m not the only one who deals with this. To the roommate who has to put up with Ms./Mr./Mrs. Crankynotes, I am truly sorry. Mine freaks out if we use the dishrack to dry our dishes – and there are the notes too, of course.

i’m guessing the note writer needs one of two things
a) to get laid
b) to get laid again.

Funny how nowhere is the sex of the note writer stated but most commenting assume it is female!

The post-it wars really are funny, but it begs the question: Why do these people even HAVE roommates?

I bet I know the person who wrote these. I lived with someone who used to write notes exactly like these and she was a bloody nightmare. Nothing was ever clean enough, quiet enough or good enough for her..she worked at the hospital so perhaps it was a case of the workplace spilling over into the home. We weren’t allowed friends around and she used to have full-on rages about coffee cups left beside the sink and other small things.

Sorry, I have to side with the poor exasperated one leaving all the notes. Put yourself in her shoes. It sounds as though she is up to her limit with an irresponsible and inconsiderate roommate. I have an inconsiderate and clueless niece who is a nightmare just for a weekend, and I avoid having her visit at all costs. Sounds like this poor note writer needs to move or kick out and find a new roomie!

Cranky??? More like patient. If I lived with someone who vomited on the floor and covered it up with a newspaper instead of cleaning it up, I’d murder them, cover the body with lyme and move out.

If you are going to moan about everything then WHY did you rent your room to me? Oh BTW bye bye.

How bad is it, that I actually feel like leaving notes like this in my house. We have the worst flatmate ever, he doesn’t listen when we ask him to do things so we’ve given up, but you don’t know how many times I’ve been tempted to write a note!!
