Story
Addison
I have just moved in with a new roommate a little while ago named Tony.
He is pretty hilarious and a really cool guy but the problem is that he is an absolute pig.
He is the biggest slob I have ever met.
The other day I had cooked dinner for us and he went out as soon as we were finished eating.
I thought that he could at least share with the dishwashing afterwards.
I was getting really tired of this and knew I had to do something.
The problem was that I didn’t really know how to bring this up to him. I didn’t want to seem like one of those guys who is a neat freak or anything but this was getting out of control.
.I decided that I would just come clean with him and tell him what I was thinking the next time I saw him.
I said, “I don’t want to be annoying or anything but would you mind helping me with the cleaning around here?”
He said “oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize you were doing the cleaning, I thought this place came with a maid service”.
