Failing that collect up all his filth, put it in a bin bag and dump it in his room......

Speak for yourself. My house is pretty much always spotless. I've just dusted, hoovered, washed up, cleaned the kitchen and floor and cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom.

I wasn't brought up in a pig-sty and I won't suffer living in one now - luckily my housemate is as tidy and clean as I am. The only time this place looks messy is after women have stayed.

My ex-wife was a lazy cow who left me to do all the housework because she knew I was better at it, she never once made an effort. She got kicked into touch after a while.

Miss YC. I'd take Foxy's advice on this. Lock your own kitchen stuff where he can't get to it so he's left with his own filth. If he leaves that lying around dump that on his bed without the plastic bags. There's such a thing as being too subtle. He'll soon learn that you won't put up with it if he's having to sleep with filthy plates pots and pans surrounding him.

As for his boyfriend, tell him to feck off and don't come round if he doesn't like the mess his mate leaves everywhere.

Agree with Foxy and Lozzo. You shouldn't have to live like that just cos he chooses to. It seems to be a bit of a double-edged sword to me, as on the one hand I'd say 'don't do the washing-up, cleaning, etc and one day he'll realise and do it himself' but on the other hand it sounds like he just won't get the message and you'll just end up living in a pig-sty all the time.

A couple of lads who I lived with in my final year at uni didn't like doing washing up but the rest of us kept ribbing them until they realised it was in their best interests. We used to cook for each other and we had a rule that whoever cooked that night did the washing up. 6 lads, 6 days a week and a take-away on the 7th night. It was a lot of work one night a week but then you had to do feck all the rest of the week which was great.

Don't let it get you down, just give him abuse about it.

i know what i would do, i would pick one set of kfs plate mug bowl etc and use it when your eating clean it ater you have finished and lock it in your room.

as then at least you have your own clean stuff.

as above anything he leave around in the house put in his room or outside the door

also can you lock the kitchen door somehow, as that would stop him using it once its been cleaned??

Give him one plate, bowl, kfs, mug and tell him they are the only ones he can use as the rest are for the more cleaner housemates. I do believe that this is not a normal level of dirtyness even for a guy.

yeh cheers Foxy, might try this. However I don't think it would be possible to stop him using the rest of the stuff!

If you can afford a new set of plates, have a go at him then just go into a complete brakedown mode and throw all the of the dirty plates at the wall then storm off. He might get the message then?

Make his life hell in your own way

Oooo i've got plenty of ways

As for men being more dirty, pah speak for yourselfs.

I don't put things away like the missy (i leave it where i wish to find it ) but I hate dust, and teh carpet being dirty etc, so our house stays clean.

Yup liking that advice

We were thinking of scraping all the crap off the plates and such, and there's a lot, and filling his inflatable bed with it then blowing it up, bit too mean though

lol no can't really lock it, we were thinking of locking him in and not letting him out til the kitchen was spotless

Having our own clean stuff is what we've been doing but we know it works well with the rest of us to share everything, some have better cutlery than others etc. Tis in M's best interests to cooperate obviously, he;s just a complete moron and I think revenge is looking to be the only option atm.

He has a habit of letting himself into people's rooms if he wants things too as originally we kept all our spare keys in the kitchen on a bunch so noone lost them, now I'm going to hide the bunch and only tell the others where it be.

He also went through a phase of helping himself to our food if he ran out, e.g. when he brewed beer he used up a whole bag of sugar, mostly from my other housemate and some of mine. Doesn't replace it either even though he says he will grrrr

He really is a git. He doesn't necessarily do it with malicious intent he just doesn't have any respect for people and is a lazy to$$er to go with it, not a good combination!

I'm known for being a bit of a scratter, but seriously this guy is a scruffy c##t. If you dumped all the filthy washing up on his bed, it would probably make the place look a f##k site better. Though whatever that fish stuff was the other week would probably look lovely on his pillow.

I dislike the whole scenario a lot, I can't just give the lad a hiding because MYC still has to live with the c##t.

Although, the landlady is a c##t as well, so I might just report her for council tax fraud or whatever... scruffy c##t gets kicked out... landlady gets a bit of a fine. I don't get locked up for losing patience... it's all good.

For the meantime. Every pot and pan that isnt personally his, put elsewhere. Every pot and pan that he leaves dirty, put on his bed. Can pick the lock into his room no problem. Just like I advised you to do with the last one, though at least that useless f##king lardarsed veggie ****** has had the decency to f##k off and take his pet whale with him.
