New roommate. Everything goes great until he tries to make rules like “throw your towel in a bag and take it to your room with you” after he “saw one on the floor”. He doesn’t believe me that he opens the door too fast and it falls off the hanger. He does the dishes before there are enough to even bother and then claims that he “always does them”. Guess he doesn’t even notice that I started doing mine as I go, except when a pan needs to sit and soak. —You’re Just Trying To Be The Man Of The House

How about cleaning up after yourself when you use something and not wait to do it. THAT is a sign of a good roommate. No one wants to clean up after someone else. It is called common courtesy.
Roommates are assholes. Move out.
LOL, of course he does the dishes before there are enough to bother …… you use it, you clean it, you put it away …… what part don’t you understand?
Perhaps your head needs to sit and soak ….. what amount of mess would be necessary for you to clean the dishes?
Sounds a tad anal. Maybe somebody that collects Nazi memorabilia.
op you sound like a pig. Towels don’t stay on hangers and who leaves their pikey towel in a shared bathroom anyway?
And if there is no time to do the dishes before your roommate does them, how is your roommate able to get them done?
You don’t let dishes pile up. You wash as you use so nobody ever has to do a pile of them. That’s how smart people keep shit clean. It’s not because they’re always cleaning shit. It’s because they have time management skills.
