Am I really weird for wanting a clean kitchen?

I had an argument with one of my flatmates today.
She was on about how our kitchen was fine, telling me to open my eyes, some people she knows has maggots and other crap in there kitchens so cause we have not got them it must be ok? She comes in and lays her **** around all over like usual, eats, leaves crap and plates all over, plates caked in thick covering of food and all sorts to go like cement. Floor caked in crap so I cleaned that too. Then she's like gooooooaaawwwwddd stop it's fine, when it was a right crap hole.
She even usually calls me lazy as I used to only do my washing up, still do sometimes, I thought I'd do everyones today I wanted a clean kitchen, then she calls me lazy for getting into my bananas when I get in as they are much better than clothes when I'm not planning on doing out again....
So... Am I weird for cleaning the kitchen? She said she don't give a **** even if we had a rat infestation she admitted she would not care.

Women are funny creatures to live with. They are either intensely houseproud or total sluts, no in between.
Gather up all the crap she leaves lying about and dump it on her bed.0 -

Why not have a proper fight eith her ? We are all equal nowadays, get yer tops and shoes off and have a fight club evening to resolve your domestic issues. Its what me and my mates used to do in the army. Thats a point, this obviously pre-dated Fight Club so I AM cool.

It's still bad to hit girls and she'd get her BF on me. I don't like fighting anyway, I wish she rode bikes, I'd give her a race to settle our differences 0

Buy paper plates, throw you's out when your done. If she continues to use normal plates and they get dirty either throw them out or throw them in the bitches bedroom. Place them strategically in her drawers and cupboards or in her pillowcases!

freehub,
you do make me laugh sometimes. your so honest and to the point.
my misses has 'ocd' when it comes to keeping our house tidy. Its a nightmare. We have a glass coffee table in the lounge, if I touch it and smear it or leave a fingerprint I'm dead! I don't touch it anymore. I just look at it and think, thats a nice table.
she hoovers almost every dog (although we do have a dog) and won't let anyone one in the house unless shes had a tidy around for two hours beforehand! So be careful for what yo wish for! One of my previous girl friends was a slob. So smokin joes right about the female speices.
the real question is do you like her or not? can you put up with her or not? Why not you do the kitchen and get her to do something else that you don't like doing? Another household task. If she won't compromise I would set her up? Swop slimfast for weighgain, or put something 'off' in the fridge with 'in date wrapping' - let her get food posioning and then say I told you so. Dirty kitchen! Sometimes people have to be shocked into action!"I spend my petrol money on Bikes, Beer, Pizza, and Donuts "

Kick the tramp out!!
It takes a couple of minutes to wash dishes she is just a lazy cow!!
Or geta really expensive dishwasher like mine, you leave a plate out and it loads itself and gets clean and back in the cupboard, majic"BEER" Proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy0 -
Takes me more than a couple of mins, but at least I get stuff clean, they leave bits of food on the stuff, when I wash up I just leave the taps running I don't fill it up, gets too dirts especially when washing my stuff at the same time as the other flatmates, but the thought of washing in water with crap floating about in it is abit off putting.
I cant kick her out it's a flat she's paid as much as me 0 -
There's an inherent asymmetry in the balance between clean and dirty. A dirty person doesn't mind if things are clean or dirty. A clean person doesn't mind if things are clean, but does mind if things are dirty.
Ergo: you will always be the loser in the clean/dirty dynamic. This state of affairs will last for the rest of your life. Recognise this now, and develop a coping strategy - a mild eating disorder* may be the place to start. Any diets used by cycling pros would fit the bill, I reckon. What's Rasmussen's menu of choice? Rice and soy milk, isn't it? You'd spend no time in the kitchen with that!
*This is a jokeMaking a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.
And then you put in the milk.0 -

Surely you shouldn't even have mentioned that - don't forget the first rule of Fight Club!
But then again - clean kitchen, dirty kitchen; which is better? There's only one way to find out.....

+1 for the above. Also, urinate in her milk, use her toothbrush to clean the toilet bowl and put full packets of washing powder in with her load so her clothes go itchy. Sew fish into her curtains and hide her personal items, one at a time. Eventually, she will leave and you might get a cleaner housemate.
Hope it works out for you.

A good way to teach her a lesson is to crap in her handbag, then when she finds it tell her you got caught short and you'll clean it up later...when you've got the time.0

Well she is leaving soon, I am until September also, I don't think I should do any of the above I'm not that evil, besides we share milk.
She itches all the time anyway haha.

Oh yes, you can. This is the internet, Will - you can do ANYTHING so long as you take a picture or record it on a webcam and post it on a forum.

This is your c10pm reminder Will. Here's the checklist:
1. Camera/cameraphone on charge?
2. Sufficient space on memorycard?
3. Haven't defecated over the past 6 hours?
4. Flatmate out/asleep?
When all conditions have been met, consider yourself ready to rock 'n' roll.Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.

Had similar problems in my first year. Not much you can do.
I ended up refusing to do any cleaning, and the kitchen got so bad I ended up having to cook in someone elses flat.
That guy is now my flatmate and we get on fine.
If possible try and not make it a personal thing, and try and keep it within the realm of "cleaning" rather than hating them for not doing it.
Easier said than done.Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.0 -
I'm sorry, I've only just properly read the entire thread - I'd assumed what I'm about to write had already been covered. (Have we learned nothing on this forum? I expect better in future.)
Anyway. Your housemate.
Is she hot?

I'm slightly worried.
Nothing from Will for at least 2 days.
You didn't actually do the handbag thing did you?Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.
