Pro tip: I was ready to kick out my roommate until I counted the dishes he actually washed
I shared a two bedroom in Portland with a guy named Marcus for 11 months and I was about 3 days from telling him to find a new place. I kept a mental list of everything he did wrong, like leaving his gym bag in the hall and playing 2K at 1am, and I was sure the split was like 80/20 in my favor. Then one Saturday I actually sat down and wrote it all out on a yellow legal pad because my girlfriend said I was being dramatic. Turns out he had washed 47 dishes that month and I had washed 52, and he had taken out the trash 9 times to my 6. I was so fixated on the 1am gaming that I never noticed he was quietly doing half the apartment work the entire time. I didn't apologize to his face or anything, but I stopped keeping score and the place got way more chill after that. Has anyone else ever kept a mental list about a roommate that turned out to be totally off?
