But you know what, I would be on the side of someone I didn't love who was in your situation and got a note like that from a roomie who wanted the place cleaned for his own houseguests.

For reals. What he's doing is just so far out wrong, it even goes beyond the fact that we know you and care about you.

What They Said.

• And* he can go get laid at her place if he doesn't like it...Felix Unger motherfucker.(Although I imagine Felix paid his bills...he seems like the type.)

Damn it, now she's wiping down the counters, so I look like a lazy ass.

Dude, she is totally embarrassed by her boyfriend's lazy ass. Why do you think she's cleaning up after him? Doubt seriously she'll ever admit that outloud, though.

Yeah. But she might make his life suck for a day or two.

Here's a fun thought: vw ought to print out the last 20-30 posts and leave it where Not!Emily can read it.

Oooh! Then include this one:

Dear Not!Emily,

EAT IT, you egomaniac!

erika, say what you want about Felix, he would have cleaned. See, I can handle a slob who doesn't nag, or a cleaner who does complain, but a slob who complains about the state of the house?--Makes me go all Proverbial...

Under three things the earth trembles;
Under four it cannot bear up:

a servant who becomes king,
a fool who is full of food,

an unloved woman who is married
and a slobby roommate who complains the place is a mess.

Dear Not!Emily's Girlfriend:

We think you are ok. But here's a word of advice for you: For your next relationship, try to find yourself a grown-up. Grown-ups know how to do some semblance of their share of household chores without having to have their girlfriends do more than remind them occasionally. We all know that illness, injury, physical conditions make exceptions, but if the guy don't know that being physically capable of playing hockey trumps having electrodes stuck to one's head for being first choice for cleaning up, he ain't worth the effort.

You're right, Cindy. This guy is a faux-Felix.

Yay. I get to work 2pm to 2am. This being daylight saving changeover, the person who comes in at 2 to relieve me will magically have been there for an hour when it seems like only 1 minute. Of course, that only works if she can figure out how to reset all the clocks.
