Thought my roommate was just messy for 2 months, then I saw his room with the lights on
My roommate Dan and I split a place in Boise last fall, and for the first 8 weeks I figured he was just a normal slob because the kitchen was always wrecked. Then one night in November the power went out and he left his door cracked with a flashlight on, and I saw it, every flat surface buried under a foot of trash, old pizza boxes stacked to the window, a path barely wide enough to walk. I always thought messy was messy, but that was the moment I got it, there is a line between leaving dishes in the sink and literally living in a landfill. I started locking my stuff in my trunk after that. Has anyone else had a roommate where the mess was way worse than what you saw in the shared rooms?
