Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I know that in order to be a good roommate, I have to let a few things go. I can't have it my way or the highway because I'm sharing a space, and my roommate is a great person. Unfortunately, we have very different standards of cleanliness, and I am having a difficult time lowering my own standards: I don't like dirty dishes sitting in the sink, greasy remotes, not washing your hands or showering often, or things left around all the time. I have expressed these things to my roommate, and have been met with sympathy, but some habits are dying hard and the things mentioned above (which are only a few of many others that have been remedied) have gone unchanged. Am I being an asshole for not getting used to this?
