Today, I complained to my two roommates about housework not being done. They both put their hands over their ears and started screaming at the top of their voice. They do this pretty much whenever I say anything to them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as usual, my flatmate is so loud when talking face to face that my ears and head rattle. I can't say anything because how dare I suggest there's anything wrong with my roommate's hearing. Yet nobody else talks this loud. FML
Today, my roommate shouted his entire part of the conversation at the dinner table. He refuses to get his hearing checked, nor lower his voice, so now my ears hurt for the rest of the evening. FML
Today, my boyfriend yelled at me from the other room for washing the dishes "too loudly". FML
Today, I had breakfast with my roommate and he was so loud, my ears felt ready to burst. If I even suggest he needs his hearing checked, he erupts like Mt. Vesuvius. Everyone agrees, he has no "inside voice" and they don't know how to handle his near-shouting to your face either. FML
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML
Today, my roommate decided that because she has an oral report due, she's going to scream at the top of her lungs until she loses her voice to get out of it. It's been two hours and she refuses to stop. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, I realized I could say nothing in my home without being interrupted, talked over, or the subject derailed into a 30 minutes monologue by my housemates. And they wonder why I'm so quiet all the time… FML
Today, I turned on the air conditioner in my room, even though it's absolutely freezing in there. Why? To drown about my mom and brother talking. My mom swears that they aren't arguing, but they're so damn loud that it doesn't even matter. They know I'm autistic and that I have hyperacusis. However, they don't care. FML
Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They don't have to be childish about it though.

Except that it takes a whole lot of training and a co-operative dog in order to get it to do all that. Probably not worth it in OP's case.

OP can't just kick them out if they all signed a lease. If its a term lease then she will have to finish it out or pay a fee to break the lease. Not many options here for OP.

I actually read this as OP describing living at home with little brothers subtly, avoiding admitting they live with their parents still. The behavior seems too childish for an adult.

Interesting roommates.
laden_swallow09 35
No, just juvenile.
CanyonRose 16
Are your roommates five??
RMLrapemylife 14
No. OP clearly indicated that they are two...

They're men on the outside, but 5 year old kids on the inside

And a half!

how old are they?

Do it the old fashioned way and bring their mess to them. I'm sure they don't want to sleep on garbage and such.
Brandi_Faith 34
I love this idea. If they leave dirty dishes in the sink, put them on their bed. If they leave crap on the floor, move it to their bed. If they leave their toothpaste and toothbrush out, put it on their bed. This doesn't work for dirty sinks or bathrooms but hopefully they'll get the hint and start helping out more. Hopefully.

Hopefully, if OP does this, it won't backfire on her. They could get their revenge since they're very childish.

I don't know, my grandma used to do that to me and I would just move it all to the floor and go to sleep. Messy people generally don't care where the mess is, as long as they can still do what they need to do.
qdawg06 23
You'd sleep in your dirty dishes? That's kind of nasty...

It sometimes backfires. I once had a roommate who tried to blame the stench in the bathroom on the cats my other roommate and I owned, peeing in said bathroom. We finally traced down the stench to bitchy roommates wet, dirty towels starting to mold on the floor by the shower. We gathered them up and piled them nicely on her pillow and bed while she was at work. When she came home and discovered this, and our explaination of, "found source of reek, stop being so gross", she made it her personal mission to be an evem bigger, more insufferable psycho bitch until the lease was up. I ended up paying out my part of the lease just to get away from her.

She would take everything out of place (clothes on the floor, clutter, etc.) and pile it on my bed.

I do the same... any shit laying around in the house which is ridiculously easy to clean, will be moved to the most inconvenient place possible. Next dumping spot is their car... ought to smell lovely after a while ;)
TrinityNevada 11
you deserved it If you were that worried about it, YOU could have cleaned up the mess yourself
RusticChick 27
The joy of immature people... Sorry OP. I say move to a new place and hope for better roommates!
MrDonSalvetti 27
If you ever have guests, you should put a sign on the floor with "Caution, two 5 years old kids moving through the floors"
cryssycakesx3 23
through the floor? are they mices?
MrDonSalvetti 27
#54 Damn you owned me...
cryssycakesx3 23
you're cool.. I wasn't trying to "own" you, I was just trying to understand why they would be moving "through" the floor.
Godsofdracos 15
Why are they mices? Are there an infinite amount of mice running about through said floors?

Clean your parts (and only your parts) of the place. See how long it takes for them to get the picture.
KittyLahv 27
Some of OP's parts may also be their roommates' parts such as the kitchen or the bathroom, assuming that they all share one.

Clean just part of the counter you need and just the dishes you need.
Brandi_Faith 34
I think the problem is that his roommates don't care if they live in a filthy house and are fine with their spots not being clean. It may be a very long time and a very disgusting house before they finally decide to do some cleaning. Like mouldy dishes disgusting.
