  • "AITA for putting my roommate’s dishes in a box instead of washing them?"

    1 (24M) live with two roommates. One of them, let's call him J, never washes his dishes. Like... ever.
  • He'll cook a full meal, use every pan in the kitchen, and just leave it all piled in the sink until someone else caves.
  • I've asked him nicely dozens of times, and he always says "yeah, I'll get to it later," but later never comes.

  • Two weeks ago, I decided I was done. I bought a big plastic tub, and every time J left dirty dishes in the sink,
  • I just moved them into the tub and set it on his side of the room. No yelling, no lectures, just "not my problem anymore."
  • Well, yesterday he blew up at me. He said I was being "passive aggressive" and "disrespectful of his property."

  • I told him it was more disrespectful to leave rotting food in the sink for everyone else.
  • He said if it bothers me so much, I should just wash them since "we all benefit from a clean kitchen."

  • Now the other roommate thinks I went too far and made the apartment "hostile." But I honestly feel like I found a fair solution ―his mess, his problem.
  • So, AITA for boxing up my roommate's dishes instead of washing them?
  • Edit: After some thought and reading the comments while he was sitting in his room i came in and dumped the dirty dishes all over his bed.

  • owens52. You did not go too far!! Too far would have been loading the dishes into a trash bag and taking them out to the bin!! And that is what he deserved!!
  • Kombucha Bot. You could have dumped them in his bed. Everyone needs access to the sink.
  • Careless-Ability-748. he was just waiting for you or another roommate to wash them. No. nta
