As exciting as living with your partner may be, many couples struggle to get on the same page with cleaning.
He likes to leave almost-empty milk jugs in the fridge, but you find that lazy? He doesn't replace the toilet paper roll because he knows you'll do it?
These problems are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what one fed-up girlfriend is dealing with. As a result, she went on a cleaning strike.
She began by sharing her pet peeve: her boyfriend rarely returns items to where they belong.
This largely includes kitchen utensils, toilet paper, Q-Tips, and the cat food-feeding scooper. She's not OCD; she just likes things in their rightful place.
"He feeds the cats in the morning, and leaves the scoop by whoever he feeds last (they’re all fed in separate rooms, we have a fast eater)," she wrote. As a result, this creates more work for her.
Soon, she gave him a taste of his own medicine, starting with the cat food scooper.
A similar approach was taken with toilet paper. Since he never replaces it, she said that she started bringing her own roll into the bathroom.
"He won’t replace them in the bathroom. I have not replaced them in a month and it seems like he just stopped using them..." Laziness at its finest, folks!
Instead of putting away the groceries, he just "shoves all the bags into the fridge/freezer/pantry for me to empty later." Say, whaat?
"I have stopped emptying the bags and organizing the fridge, and just remove my item from a bag and leave it as it was."
"This probably upsets him the most, since last time he put a pack of chicken in the pantry last time, that I 'didn’t notice,'" she wrote.
She assumed he would at least check the bags before placing them somewhere, but nope.
This led the Redditor to wonder whether she's in the wrong for trying to teach him an important lesson.
Thankfully, users let her know that it's him who needs to clean up his act.
"Agree. That's a level of lazy that I didn't even realize existed, and I have made a career out of being lazy," added another.
"I hope you can keep this up but let me tell you if he fights it this much there is little hope he will ever truly change," Reddit user Nijura108 wrote. "My guess is if he changes it will only hold for a short while before he goes back to being a lazy idiot."
