If your roommate doesn't pay attention to hygiene, what will you do?

i just transferred to my friend place and we have no problem since both of us hate messy room. in your case you need to tell her straight about it and tell her also that its not really nice to see that since shes also a girl and im sure it will be a big slap to her face to realize its very shameful specially if you will tell her that you already told other room mate about her. she might be angry but well better than that than be quite and pretend that everything is fine.

i guess you must talk to the owner of the house or the care taker and report her so they will know, i mean she doesnt own the place so i guess she must respect other people too. maybe you can tell the caretaker about her so they will transfer her to other room or if shes there first than you then maybe you can transfer to other room instead.

Make a divider or a white line to separate her space and your space. Whenever her things or your things cross that line, there's a fine or a cash penalty! I know. Some people can be very inconsiderate. YOu already tried to talk to her and still she wont budge, so I guess it's time you assert your rights. Once I also shared a room with someone who kept her leftovers until they got spoiled, rotten or smell so bad it could even poison a rat that eats them. So what I did, I warned her that if she keeps on storing her spoiled food, I will have to throw them along with the dish, or container. She didn't take heed so I did throw everything away: her containers, her canisters,,,,everything that contained spoiled stuffs.

I probably will be the dirty one. Or if he is unbearably dirty - well, i'll go worse than that - he'll probably understand what it's like and change or at least bring it up :) which is then up for discussion. hehehhe.

well talk to her cause she has to understand that hygiene is very important and make her realize that she has her roommate and not all she does can be tolerated by her roommate if talking don't work maybe she's just a messy girl

Well if its a room rental, better transfer to another room since you already talked to her regarding the situation. Because her habits cannot be change instantly. It will take you days, months or maybe years before she change and if the person is wiling to but if not, sorry for you if you will not transfer.

you have to be the one that tells them what they need to be doing. we have a border who 'forgets' to shower and since he listens to my hubby, hubby talks to him.

By that I suggest having a shield of patience. Once you let her see that youre not bothered she will think twice about messing the room.

I would try making mess just she did and would love to see her reaction.Try not to give any attention to her stuff and let it be where it were.Ive experienced this before but ive settled it through good communication.unlucky of you to get this kind of stubborn people.

Hi sharryCD! talk to her once more, if she didn't change her bad habits then it's time for you to talk to your landlord to just transfer her or you to another room. It's so hard to be in control if you live with someone like her so better avoid than to get into trouble.

i will definitely talk to him about it or talk to her about it, i will tell her thats its not nice when the room has no hygeine becoz its only for our own benefit, for our own good,, we should learn how to understand about the hygeine issue for us to get along well together

Well, i will transfer to other room that has a discipline attitude room mate when it comes to hygiene, coz that is so stressing to have a room mate like that. You cannot change her habit just like that, she is that, messy like a kid. I'd better transfer than to clean and clean and clean every time she is there.

my sister an i share room before i moved out from my parents place.. she is so messy.. so i decided to divide the room into 2. the left side is her side while i got the right.. since then whenever mom goes to our room she knows which side is messy and will nag my sister to clean her side.. but one time i got so angry to see a wet towel left in my bed.. i threw all her belongings out side our room and never let her in.. so my mom was forced to make another room for her coz my mom knew that WORLD WAR 3 will begin if she joined me in a room again!! she even use my things without asking permission..

If I was in your position I would make a point by ONLY cleaning up my own mess and leaving hers. It sounds like you are cleaning up her mess to keep the peace so she is assuming you enjoy cleaning, as I would also guess you have never mentioned this to her before? Just keep cleaning your stuff, and if her stuff gets uncontrollable just pick it all up and toss it on her bed, if she has dirty plates make sure they hit her sheets 1st! If she moans just say sorry you needed some breathing space....isn't like she can pick an arguement with you if she is the person who the arguement stems from! :O) Or if your boring you could talk to her lol

I think you have to talk to her and let her understand her bad habit bothers you. Girls are usually considerate, perhaps she will try to avoid it. You need to tell her directly. It is nothing embarrassing. I love China

Slap him :)) If it s a reasonable person just have a serious discusion about this and try and "train" him/her everyday as long as she/he doesnt get upset about it. If not and it really bothers you just get a new one (room or roomate:)). Some are just lost cases so not worth fighting for, if you get to this conclusion forget about it and move out :)

I would try talking to her again. Make it clear that, while you like living with her, you don't like finding her mess everywhere. Sometimes it's hard for people to pick up after themselves. I will admit that I'm one of those people. I always forget to put things back and I get easily distracted, so I don't finish what I was doing. However, I recognize this about myself and so I have one a day a week when I go back and clean everything and put things back where they should be to make up for when I didn't. Maybe you can talk and come up with a solution? Having a roommmate is all about compromise. I'm sure there's probably something you do that bothers her, too, so maybe try to talk about those things and come up with a solution that everyone's happy with?

I'll gonna wag her and head and let her see the things he messed up. Its not easy to have a roommate like that. It would so stressful on your part. If you already talk to her then let her have her things in the right places. If she put it in your desk throw it in the floor so that she will realized. If she put her shoes under your bed, throw it on her bed. Let's see what she gonna do with her dirt and messy things.
