In my old apartment, I was getting ready to go into work one Friday. I was going through my dress shirts, and there was a particular white Burberry dress shirt I wanted to wear. Eventually, I found the shirt, but the neck collar was dirty and the sleeves were all wrinkled from being rolled up. I personally never cuff my sleeves, and I would never hang up a shirt with a dirty neck collar. I decided to ask my roommate if he knew anything about it. Sure enough, he told he "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about that." He decided to help himself to my closet and wear my shirt. He never asked me if he could borrow a shirt from my closet nor did he even think to wash the shirt since he borrowed it. Come to find out, the mofo doesn't even wear undershirts with his dress shirts because it's "too hot in the summer to wear undershirts"; so, his nasty hairy chest and sweat were all over my Burberry shirt. He probably only grabbed that one since it was the only brand in my closet that he recognized. Canali, Etro, Costume National, Balanciaga, etc don't exist in his world. I'd also bet that he went and bragged to his coworkers about "his" Burberry shirt too. I would have probably been more cool with this if he had asked first and told me which shirt he was interested in borrowing, but we aren't high school girls. Sharing clothes should be restricted to only the most dire circumstances. The last thing I want to do is start lending my wardrobe items to some guy who was lecturing me about how "Aldo has the best shoes".

******* disgusting.


I would seriously ******* stab him right there and then.. What the ****???????!!!!!

I would rather live with the OP's roomate than the OP. OP's roomate sounds like a slob, but the OP is wound too tight for living.

Really? I think his expectations are reasonable.

Borrowing clothes is just plain disgusting, even you're both clean people. Coodies.

Yeah, the expectations are reasonable, but his reaction (on SF) is not. I mean, who hasn't has a slob for a roomate? Does it really warrant an indexed thread on SF? Maybe he should just boot his roomate and be done with it. Maybe just a poast in things that are pissing you off?

I am struggling to maintain my friendship with my current roommate. I think things have improved because we know we only have six months left and no sense in destroying the relationship. Definitely burned previous relationships through living together.

Never again. Significant other or no one.

That would require growing a pair of balls and acting like a guy. Instead, the OP will continue to live with him until he hates every aspect of his life and will cry about his roommate on SF.

I think we all go through a stage where we have to learn it's better to live by yourself.

To the OP, I would have a long talk with your roommate about cleaning. If you don't put your footdown he will keep doing it and you should have put your foot in his ass about the shirt as soon as you found out. You let him get away with it once he's going to do it again, you can bet on that.

Sounds like you are overreacting a little bit to the minor cleaning problems, but I would reiterate to him that cleanliness is important to you. Him taking an expensive shirt without permission, not washing it and not even mentioning it to you is definitely crossing the line. I would tell him him you are considering terminating the lease because of his indiscretions. Either that or begin brushing your ass with his toothbrush.
