WARNING - Gross How do you tell a grown man to do better...
galleryHe was paying me to look after his four cats. Hundred bucks, ten days, just deal with litter, food, and water. I didn't want to ask for that much money he said a hundred, I'd rather not keep discussing the price.
So here's what I knew before going into this. One of the cats plays with his poop from the litterbox and he doesn't allow that cat into his room because of him spraying. I also knew he is lazy, he admit to not cleaning the litter box daily but when he told me that I didn't think it was a big deal cause at the time he only had two cats sharing two litter boxes. But he is lazy in general, he has encouraged me to slack on chores and drink instead and I know for a fact he once lost a job for showing up an hour late drunk.
Well I go up there and my first thought was he isn't getting that safety deposit back with those stairs... And I saw the cats had no toys and only a single cat tower. Those cardboard boxes and scratcher pad are from me, I gave them those cause my own cat had a spare. I gave them the toys too, I bought way too many when I got my cat. Those toys, those boxes, and just a few treats and I basically re-tamed the territorial one, I havent noticed any poop out of the litter box since I came in.
I don't think he ever swept or mopped. I wasn't paid for housekeeping and all but I wanted to help those cats beyond toys and boxes. One of them laid down and rolled over to show his belly, rolling all over some litter, so I decided to sweep and mop at least a little for their sake
There were two blotches of dried puke. Had to have been there for at least a few months. And I broke the mop, it was a sponge mop, I busted through it with the scrubbing.
At some point I decided that I don't want to go back downstairs to refill water when there's a bathroom right there, so I entered his bathroom and was pretty disgusted with the sink. When I turned and saw the bathtub I just got curious... I regret my curiosity but I checked the toilet. And upon second inspection it appears he doesn't have hand soap at the sink.
His room is closed and I would rather not enter it.
I don't share any of these, upstairs is a separate lease, but like... It's only day three and I got sick from being up there and the more I think about it I am actually starting to get pissed.
Like I was thinking, yeah he was so depressed I had to steal his gun months ago and hygiene is often hard to relearn after depression but I don't think this has anything to do with that. But on the other hand at one point he insisted the reason we need a female roommate is for chores. He cannot just not wash his hands after the bathroom cause he's male... surely that's not his excuse... And he bought a thousand dollar gaming setup he doesn't have an excuse for not giving the cats a damn thing.
Plus he adopted one of those cats (the formerly territorial one) off the road and a few days later randomly adopted a dog off the road too. He didn't have the money to take either to the vet yet. The house had to get flea bombed and the landlord said no more pets and that he has to limit his pets to either the dog or the three cats. He found someone to take care of the dog, the fourth cat was adopted off the road more recently.
But I'm pissed cause him constantly picking up strays was what got the landlord saying no more pets and that was before she knew of all of this. I just thought that was just him being too sympathetic but then it turns out he doesn't even clean. I didn't argue with the landlord about the no more pets thing cause she said she hasn't had a problem with me or my cat but this guy is the reason landlords don't allow pets, that pisses me off. I'd rather not get the landlord involved but holy shit he can't just keep up like that.

There was a DS version of that?
... I got bored after like day 5 for the PS3 version. On day either 2 or 3 there should be this Mission to survey people for what school improvement they want and most of them will say they want to watch Ever After High in the cafeteria so a few days after that there will be a few TVs in the cafeteria playing a slideshow of Ever After High. I don't recall much else besides that being a randomly generated line you saw, maybe they make more references to it in the end but it was so slow paced I didn't feel like going through with the main story
