Idle and Inconsiderate
![]()
This morning we found out that we have an rental inspection tomorrow. Luckily i snooped at a letter on the kitchen bench and saw the notice from the agent, as nobody else had read it. So tonight we all get home from work, and as per usual Sam is sitting at the computer typing like a madman. Meg and i start cleaning, Sam doesnt budge from the computer. Meg then asks Sam if he could wipe the surfaces in the bathroom. Sams Response: “i cleaned recently” and he stayed glued to the computer. I then stated that I too had done a clean recently and that it wasnt my turn but that wasnt stopping me lending a hand. I actually stupidly thought he would then get up and help, but no….
this fell on deaf ears….
He stayed at the computer for a bit longer as we cleaned around him (literally!!), he then went to his room, got changed and then went out for the evening.
I honestly dont know why his selfishness continues to surprise me.. but it honestly does!
For example last weekend i mentioned that the kitchen floor was a feral mess as it hadnt been cleaned since i last did it. (god knows why i needed to mention it as it was blatantly obvious) A day or so later he moved the mop and bucket inside, and then they sat in the kitchen for about 4 days, and then were moved outside again… no mopping involved!
Sam is fast becoming my pet hate!
Hi Meg, I am having major housemate woes at the moment and reading your site cheered me up as i’m obviously not the only one! Does Sam read/know about your blog?
