Do you tell them, or just flush/clean it yourself?
This is my lodger. He's generally okay to live with. But one thing he does do is always point out any misdemeanor I do in the house. Sometimes it isn't even something I've actually done, but that he thinks I have.
E.G my Mum accidentally broke the catch on the gate a couple of months back. She told me she had, no big deal it was old and I bought and fitted a new one but he sent me a text stating something such as 'Broken the gate now have you! Like a bull in a china shop!'. I accidentally left the cellar light on once too and had a message about that, to which I reminded him that it isn't the end of the world and his lodgings are a flat rate, even if the bills are slightly higher it doesn't affect him.
The heating system in this house is a bit odd-I keep reprogramming it but it does come on by itself at times I've not programmed it to-I do need to have another look at it. He knows this, but without fail each time it comes on he'll say 'You left the heating on this morning!' When I've been out/asleep and had no idea it was on at all. And I apparently hid the washing up liquid from him and he was just not having it that I hadn't-I don't know why, but for some reason it was behind other things and not in the exact place he expected it to be. I hadn't washed up since he last used it so I definitely wasn't responsible. I get a lot of 'Broken XYZ now have you!' that sort of thing (once was as he saw a broken blender jug in the bin, actually off a blender from the distant past that I'd found while clearing out a cupboard but he thought it was from my brand new one that I'd already broken days after purchase!).
I am just not like this, he has things he does in the house that I personally wouldn't but I like a harmonious living arrangement and unless it affects me a lot, I don't not say anything.
Anyway he left a load of poo in the loo earlier. I was going to just flush it and not say anything but changed my mind, text him and let him know. He is now mad with me and immediately turned it on me and says I often don't flush the loo. Now this is simply not true as I am one of those who checks every single time before I leave any bathroom-although several times he has 'accused' me of not doing it when actually what I've done is wiped with cleaning product around the cistern/seat it with loo roll while cleaning the bathroom, and chucked it down the loo and not flushed it-I've told him this every single time, I am really careful as I hate finding someone else's waste or smears in a loo.
Anyway, I think if he wasn't this way with me, I'd have just turned a blind eye but as he is, I told him. I feel like perhaps it isn't the done thing now.
What's the consensus on it in your home? :)
