I had a friend who would CONSTANTLY insist on everyone going to their house despite never cleaning. Period.

There floors were sticky, compost overflowing, abandoned drinks like beer and coffee scattered and spilled, garbage and junk in every corner and surface, dirty laundry stacked sporadically. There bathroom toilet was just entirely brown and crusty on the inside and it spilt out the edges and covered the floor around it. No soap, no hand towel.

First time over I just commented “wow, you clearly expected company haha”

He claimed his 2 roommates were lazy and that’s why, but I’m like, that doesn’t prevent you from EVER cleaning. Placed don’t get like this if even one person cleans OCCASIONALLY. This was months and months of caked on filth.

After a dozen parties and visits I started suggesting he clean more if he wants to host but he’d just shrug. So I just started pointing out things that annoyed me.

I sat down on his couch and a fork jabbed my side. So for the rest of the night I collected forks and announced it loudly when I’d find one. Spaghetti Fork in the radiator! Black fork in cup under the couch! Coffee table fork number 2! Clothes pile fork! Ooo a spoon on the floor!

He got pissed and I just said “hey man, don’t leave so many forks around if you don’t want me collecting them for fun”
