Why do so many people not clean?
In college right now, last semester I shared an apartment with 4 other people and NONE of them ever cleaned. I tried to drop hints, and nobody took them.
When the semester ended, we needed to clean the apartment in order to avoid a cleaning fee. I had to keep reminding people, and even personally mention people in the group chat in order to get everyone to agree to clean something. Went away for the weekend, and when I came back and everybody had moved out I discovered that everybody did a half assed job of cleaning. I had to basically clean the entire apartment myself. The bathroom was absolutely covered in beard hair. People would use the bathroom standing up, and it would splash all over the toilet and they wouldn't clean up after themselves.
I just moved into a different apartment with new roommates, and they have old furniture in here that absolutely reeks. Their toilet seems to not have been cleaned in months, same with their shower. When I tried to clean the toilet, it was so dirty that it wouldn't come fully clean because it had stained.
Is this just how it is? Am I actually the exception for liking a clean space? I feel like I'm at the end of my rope here.
