Today, I visited my son at his university accommodations and noticed he's clearly never cleaned it since he moved in two years ago. I tried cleaning it myself, but gave up entirely when I found what looked like mushrooms growing out of an old takeout container. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while visiting my son at university, I noticed a funky smell in his room. He admitted to not changing his bedsheets since he moved in 2.5 years ago. I’ve raised an animal. FML
Today, after threatening my son for weeks that if he didn't clean his room, I would, I went in, equipped with a garbage bag, ready to throw away everything I found, only to discover dozens of empty bottles, two partially empty pizza boxes, Taco Bell wrappers, and cockroaches. FML
Today, I cleaned my 21 year-old son's bedroom from top to bottom. When he got home from work all he could do was complain that the clothes that were on his "floordrobe"’ were "only worn once." This was my only day off, so why do I bother? FML
Today, my roommate, who is 22 years-old, doesn't understand that the trash needs to be taken out. He just puts pizza and burger boxes on top and around the dustbin. Prior to moving in, his mom and sister emphasized on how "clean" he is. He never showers either. FML
Today, I was cleaning my lazy son’s bedroom when I knocked a full cup out the window, complete with a layer of mould. It landed on the dog, covering him in mouldy, milky coffee. He ran inside, shook it off everywhere, then rolled around to really make sure it was smushed deep into the carpet fibres. FML
Today, after a month of living in a pigsty of an apartment with my roommates, I spent the day cleaning the place out. When everyone returned home, instead of thanking me, all they could do was point out the spots I'd missed. FML
Today, I was wondering why my home smelled so weird, until I found out that my 4 year old son had been secretly scattering around food he didn't like to eat throughout the house. How did I find out? No one else in this family leaves half eaten spinach all over my underwear drawer. FML
Today, my roommate finally cleaned her cat's very full litter box. I later found our only good spatula crusted with kitty feces, which she'd left on the kitchen counter for me to find. FML
Today, my mother called me, telling me how disappointed she was at how I let my room "become such a pigsty." I haven't lived there in three years. FML
Today, I returned to my sweet home after a two-month cozy vacation full of good memories, only to find that the place was sweet no more and had turned into a bug and mold-infested Petri dish uninhabitable for any living creature. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your son sounds like a fungi.

Hey, he's a student. It's free food, that's one less thing in his grocery list which means being less financially stretched.

Which is why #3 jokingly suggested that college makes it a financially preferable option.

Oh god he could he live let alone bring someone back to his place if need be, disgusting!!

Well, there's a place for the parents... there's no way a girl will have sex with him and he won't get her accidentally pregnant.

And you are cleaning his room why? He's a grown man, make him clean his own room.

Why are people down voting this comment? This guy is absolutely right

Because moms will always want to be moms. Just because he is grown doesn't mean she can't still act like a mom. Probably empty-nest syndrome
Ms_ValS 27
If OP were suffering from empty nest syndrome, this would never have happened. His room would have been spotless and he'd be eating like a king.

Or instead of interfering just leave him to it. He's moved out, end of... I still live at home and if my parents tried to touch my stuff I'd lose my shit so why not let him have his freedom....

"He's a grown man" and "make him clean his own room" are fairly contradictory. If he is a grown man he can't be made to do anything, hence the "grown man" part...
jrm89 9
Lol! Just like #36 said, this statement seems to contradict itself but that man does need to clean his nasty room! I don't understand how some people do it...

If he doesn't even know how to clean, how can he be responsible enough to live on his own??

Hey, He's a busy man. Eating and playing video games take a lot of work.

Story time! I actually had a roommate like this back when I was attending a military language school. At first, he was fine and acted normal, then suddenly, he metamorphosed into this unhygienic, lazy bastard of a man. I kept my things very neat and clean, and he was the literal opposite: discarded pizza boxes and leftover food were littered everywhere, and his bed and all possessions were covered with a thin layer of dead skin cells and dandruff. The place smelled like a landfill. The guy spent every hour he could possibly muster playing World of Warcraft, and never left the room to do anything except piss. His interpretation of cleaning was Febreze. I had enough, and eventually approached his stinky ass and bellowed at him to take a shower immediately, and he did so promptly. Eventually, I had enough of his shit, and I asked my NCO to relocate him, and that was the last I saw of him.

Did you not ever make him clean before he left for school or is he just that dirty and lazy?
SecundusSecunda 27
I think he's just lazy and dirty. I mean, come on, being clean and being responsible are things that one gets taught, but at the same time they are things that one has to actively pursue. OP's mom describes fungus growing? That's crazy, her son, to me, isn't mature enough to live on his own.

Two of my friends recently moved in together and I ask myself the same question about the one guy. He's absolutely disgusting and so lazy. Recently they moved out due to problems and the guy took all his clothes out of his room. There was literally a layer of garbage, it looked like a years worth of garbage piled up in only 2-3 months. Once he had the dishes so pilled up that you couldn't see the counter or stove and they all had food on them. His roommate uses to come over to my place because he was so messy. I'll never understand people who can live like that.

How does that even happen? I had a roommate kind of like that, but not as bad. If it's a dorm, don't they do health inspections because of that type of thing? That sounds kinda dangerous and unsanitary.
tomvertigo 17
Either he is lazy, extremely overloaded (not impossible) or this is some kind of psychological micro-aggression against his parents for always being clean.
