Hey, roommate and I are pretty good friends and we get along pretty well. We just had a spat about a cleaning situation and I wanted to get someone else's perspective. Just to give background info, my roommate has a gf that I'm also friends with and they're here in the apartment 5 days a week and often cook together. I am rarely home and barely ever cook.
My roommate was about to leave the apartment to see his gf, and I asked if he could take the a couple recyclables that were already near the door downstairs since those were his items. We have a very small kitchen (it's a NYC apartment) so it gets cluttered pretty easily. He got upset and said 'well when was the last time you took the garbage out?' I told him bluntly I don't take the garbage out as often as he does because I'm rarely home and him and his gf cook together constantly so they make much more trash. I started getting annoyed that he talked back to me because I did A LOT of work to get this apartment for the both of us and definitely do my fair share of cleaning besides the trash (I'll often wipe down the table after he's done eating, clean the bathroom more frequently than he does, often throw out his food in the refrigerator). Plus before we got the apartment, I found this place, I risked my deposit money to get our application cleared, went to the leasing office 4 times, while he went once, went to get our lease keys and copied it for him. Just saying this to show I'm not actually lazy.
tl;dr: am I in the wrong for asking my roommate to take out his recycables that he made? not sure what to say to my roommate now
