Messy people
I'm not the tidiest person in the world, but I don't think expecting to be able to cook with and eat off clean stuff is asking too much.

I lived with two people who left washing up piled in the sink for days - not at the side out of the way, but in the sink so nobody could use it. It was so bad sometimes I would take my ex (see below - not ex at the time) out for food because I couldn't cook in my own home!

The year after I moved in with my ex (not ex at the time). Now I knew she was untidy but I loved her to bits and she promised to make an effort.
* She took over 4 of the 6 rooms in the house (the others ended up shared apart from my room) with stuff just piled around
* had her own fridge and freezer as well as sharing the one that came with the house
* did her washing once a month then hung it everywhere to dry (including in the shower, so the shower couldn't be used)
* wouldn't empty the bin because it smelt bad, because it was overflowing and wouldn't close because she wouldn't empty it (we were supposed to take it in turns)
* wouldn't wash up even when she had no plates left so would ask to borrow one of mine (although she didn't leave the dirty ones in the sink in the way)

She was awesome apart from being impossible to live with.
