This is the shit that I was afraid of when I agreed to move into a house with four other people.

When something is dirty, even before I use it, and people want to blame me for being dirty also, fine. I can agree to that. I know that I'll just add on to the mess because it's already there. I'm sure as fuck not going to be the one to clean it.

But when I am accused of being dirty and then not cleaning up after myself, then that's bullshit. I hardly use the kitchen, and when I do, it's already pure chaos. Even when that's the case, I will clean up after myself when I make a mess. It's part of my upbringing to clean up after myself. It's not part of my upbringing to clean up after everyone else.

So therefore, standing here being accused of sloppyness and being dirty, I say fuck it.

I'll stay cleaning up after myself, except now, I will go out of my way to make sure that I ONLY clean up after myself. If I have to, I will fucking use my own trashbag, wash my own dishes by hand after I use them, and clean only my section of the counter that I use. When the house is still a mess after that, then those four can just fucking figure it out without me.

It's not an ultimatum. It's just the way it's going to be.
