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

Do the same to them whenever they want your side of the rent.

Then stop doing housework.

Doesn't usually work. I've done it before and all that happened was my roommates made more messes on top of the old mess. Sometimes it's easier to just clean up, even if it's their mess. Thus, solution here is new roommates.

Sounds like you're enabling them. Lock your clean dishes in your room and refuse to wash any more and either 1)don't tidy common areas 2) tidy but dump all the shit in their room 3) tidy but dump all their shit in the trash (whether it's a magazine, clothing or an iPad)... They'll soon learn >:-)

try annoying them until they agree to help out. play justin beiber on full volume at all times of the day. or like a previous comment get a metal pot and bang a spoon around in it and refuse to stop until they start doing what they're supposed to do.

Try inviting them to an event...especially the day rent is due...they'll miss out and be short on rent money...they don't seem to listen anyway

Time to move out, at least you won't be able to tell them that you are leaving because they don't listen to you.
