Today, I found out that, after having moved over 500 miles to begin a post-graduate degree, I'm being kicked out of the house I'm renting. We haven't yet signed agreements. Apparently I "keep the kitchen too clean". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned I'm getting kicked out of the house for NOT dropping out of college. FML
Today, I found out that my new roommate got kicked out of his old house because he pulled a gun on his old roommates and threatened them. The reason? They nagged him about dishes he left in the sink. Well, only 10 months left on the lease. FML
Today, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML
Today, the couple I've been housesitting for returned. Apparently, I kept the place too clean, and they don't believe that I actually stayed here. They're refusing to pay me. FML
Today, I'm being evicted from my apartment for not paying rent. My father is the on-site landlord, meaning I now have to move my stuff downstairs into his place, and hear every day how I'm a failure. FML
Today, after losing my job, my apartment and my man, I had to move back in with my mom, at 37. She’s a total slob; I can’t function without clean, organized spaces. So, hey, at least I have a new full-time job now: cleaning up after her. FML
Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who moved in about a month ago, decided he wanted to move back out. Why? Because I don't keep my place clean enough for him. This, coming from the same man who refuses to wash or clean anything because "that's what women are for." FML
Today, I got home from work to find an eviction notice taped to my door, stating that I was a nuisance and had 30 days to vacate the property. I live at home with my parents. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've been in a situation where too much cleanliness caused a problem, so I can kinda understand the roommates. Where I lived during university we kept the house reasonably clean during the week and then cleaned really good on weekends. We got one new roommate who decided that that wasn't good enough and she would deep-clean the place for an hour every day. consequently there wasn't much cleaning left for the weekends. Well, after a couple of months she started bitching about how she was the only one who did all the cleaning and how we should at least pay her. In the end it ended in her moving out and getting her own place. TL;DR: I can see why they might have thought too much cleanliness could pose a problem.

I'd bet it's a lot more common than you might imagine. Different people have different standards, and in practice, the finickiest person almost always winds up cleaning because they get to their threshold first, even if it's just a little bit earlier than everyone else. And, of course, they always feel self-righteous about having higher standards than everyone else.

It is pretty common my gf and I have that problem. I like to keep things clean, but I'm pretty laid back. She sees the same thing and thinks "it's a mess" and goes through periods where she'll do the equivalent a spring cleaning randomly because it's not up to her standard. Had a friend that lost 2 room mates that were friends because she didn't clean and the roommate ended doing everything. Really depends on the person, I've had friends nice as they are I wouldn't live with them because laid back as I am I know they wouldn't pull their weight as far as keeping the place nice.

You probably "cleaned" out someones secret stash in the kitchen by mistake.

Are you renting the house all by yourself or have roommates that get bitched out by you every time they leave one dish in the sink and not able to live up to your "too clean" standards? I can see living with someone anal retentive as annoying and not something I would want to tolerant if I didn't have to. Also-- Should have protected yourself and gotten something in writing. That's a big move without a guaranteed place to stay.

The thing is they didn't sign agreements so he has no protection.
