How to deal with a bad roommate?

College Life

<p>I share a living space with Lucy and we both share a bathroom with Becky and Angela. Becky & Angela have their own room connected to ours via bathroom. Problem? We have to clean the bathroom and Becky never does it. Every week we switch off - me and Angela clean one weekend and then Lucy and Becky clean the next. Lucy eventually does it, but Becky never does. Becky actually accuses ME of not cleaning when I have cleaned every time without fail and even twice in a row because I wrongly assumed they cleaned. Plus, she leaves notes on the mirror such as, “You should have the common courtesy to replace the toilet paper holder,” which I hate because she doesn’t have the common courtesy to clean when it is her turn.</p>

<p>Angela is my friend and Becky and her don’t get along at all. However, Becky and Lucy are best friends and Lucy doesn’t care if Becky doesn’t do it. Lucy simply cleans half the bathroom.</p>

<p>I want to ask Becky if she has cleaned the bathroom, but then Angela would have to live with an upset Becky. I can’t write a note either, she’ll think it’s me or Angela. I cannot go to my RA because we did for earlier problems and they don’t care. I cannot protest by not cleaning the bathroom because 1) That’s gross and 2) It would put Angela in another tight spot since she’d be cleaning it alone. I want to ask Lucy if Becky cleans the bathroom, but I’m scared to death because they are good friends and she’ll definitely tell Becky. And Becky is a b*tch, she would cause a scene with me. She hates my guts.</p>

<p>What can I do to fix this problem without jeopardizing Angela? It feels so unfair for Becky to freeload, but I can’t have Angela caught in the crossfire. It sucks that we’re adults here, yet we have to set things up like we’re 6 year olds.</p>

<p>Honestly as long as it’s getting done and Lucy(? Sorry a lot of names so its kind of hard to remember who’s who) doesn’t mind picking up the slack for Becky why do you care? I feel it’s Lucy’s place to step up if she has a problem otherwise it may cause more unnecessary tension. And how do you know that Lucy and Becky don’t have their own cleaning schedule ?(I.e Lucy cleans the bathroom Becky cleans the room )</p>

<p>Make a chart with the cleaning schedule. Buy a bucket and put the cleaning supplies in it. The bucket is stored in whoever’s turn it is to clean’s room. Once the job is done, the bucket gets delivered to the other side of the suite. You will also have to switch cleaning partners.</p>
