I feel upset because my roommate confronted me today. Apparently my cleaning is not good enough for her. I think she is just a neat freak and no matter how much I clean it would still look messy to her. She is mad because the sink was clogged, ok fine, but we both know its more than that . She said she has wiped down the whole bathroom several times since we moved in 2 1/2 weeks ago. To me that is overkill. Shes mad that I hadnt vacuumed the floor even though it was certainly clean to my eyes. Also in the first week she confronted me about letting an eggshell touch the counter. In her words the counters were contaminated and she would get salmonella. I clean the kitchen every day. I also clear my things off the table at night after she complained about that too. I feel really bad because I want to get along with my roommates and I do clean every day but I dont get credit.

Try a new roommate. Looks like she is OCD about germs and sanitation. She will always be a problem for you.

ok, glad I'm not the only one who sees her behavior as over the top. I don't want to move out after such a short time. I'm hoping the situation can still be salvaged. But she made it worse this morning. She was hovering around me as I was cooking eggs, and on my way out she yelled that she would know if I didn't lock the front door. Which had nothing to do with the issue, and I have never forgotten to lock the door.

I am very ocd about my home.. But its "my" problem not anyone elses. Shes being very unreasonable ..if your cleaning isnt up to her standard then she can clean it herself again.. I would tell her that you will no longer listen to her complaints about it. when she starts again just walk away and close a door. But , yeah move if you can !

Thanks. She said a few things yesterday but said them in a lot more chill way so I think she realized she was being too harsh before. But if we have another fight I'm going to get a mediator because its very unfair to tell me I "don't contribute". I have lived with neat freaks before though lol
