Messy people always get their way

If you're a tidy person living with messy people, you never get to live in the environment you want, because the messy people always mess it up.

AIBU to feel this is unfair?

Maybe untidy people should make better choices who they live with. Tidy people aren't going to change either.

True, but untidy people don't tend to have an issue with tidy people, it's usually the other way round

YABU - if you are a super tidy person you need to not live with untidy people. They aren't going to change. You can't change them.

Yes I agree.

It has now caused so much hate that I no longer want to live with them.
Bordering on hoarding along with the mess is just disrespectful, selfish and so fucking frustrating.

The crap & rubbish that gets left lying round would remain with more and more and more shite added for weeks, months if I did not clean and clear it daily.

I just am sick to the back teeth of turning my back for 30 seconds and there’s crap piled up.
I can never just sit down anywhere without having to move other people’s shite.

YANBU. I hate chaos and mess.

It is unfair, but they’re under 8 and I can hardly kick them out! 😄
