I'm very lucky with Brendan. Not only can he cook (and boy does he love to do it) and work well with his hands, but he cleans too! He does the dishes right away, picks up after himself, and once even changed Waffle's litterbox without me asking! He doesn't even live here! He just knew I was too busy to do it at the moment and just dove right in!! I feel like I struck gold!!
My actual roommate is pretty good about things too. The only thing she does that is messy is not wipe up anything that splatters from cooking, so our counters can get quite dirty. However, she will clean the whole apartment (which is why I don't get mad about the counters), vacuum MY room, do all of her own laundry and fold it, and never leaves anything in the living room.
I didn't realize how lucky I was on all accounts until writing this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I need to thank them more often!
I have dated and lived with some slobs though, so believe me, I know how annoying it is!
