I feel like I’m caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
At work on a quick break so can’t right now but will try to later! Nothing crazy, very similar to yours.
I’ve worked in kitchens in really old buildings and had a couple of similar incidents, mostly at one restaurant. No one believes me, of course.
You may be joking but I have never questioned my own sanity and the fundamental nature of reality more in my life than in these past years.
I was on a recent business trip and signed up for a couple of days of roaming. My colleagues saved a few bucks with e-sims which was great until they needed to get an SMS for 2fa.
Prepared to be roasted alive for this opinion but studies (undoubtedly of white, middle class, US undergrads) seem to indicate women find clutter and messes more psychologically distressing than men do.
I’m a man but I’ve had many deadbeat guys as roommates and I am definitely far more bothered by messes and clutter than they were so I kind of get this.
If you are the “mind it more” person, you will find yourself rage cleaning because the other person can wait you out as long as they want if they are taking you for granted and not concerned you’ll leave over this.
So there are two toxic traits here:
A willingness to wait out chores even if you know it’s angering people you are with.
A kind of willful blindness. “Honestly, I didn’t think it was that bad.”
The second one might be worse.
The first is excusable (plausible deniability) with the “men are oblivious” defense if the aggrieved party is not being overt in their request that a chore be done.
The second is a person (some women obviously do this, too) refusing to learn to empathize and recognize when things are getting to the point where it’s bothering the other person. From an interpersonal perspective this is probably more infuriating over the years.
