Yesterday, the hand soap dispenser was empty, and his 100 oz. Costco refill bottle had very little left, so he decided to stretch the remains by mixing it with tap water, about half and half.
When I pumped on the hand dispenser, the contents shot across the sink and hit my shirt, because the consistency was so thin. So last night while out shopping, I bought a new refill. I dumped out his water mixture and topped it off with the new stuff.
Today, he is upset because I threw out his personal property.
I pointed out that his last bottle lasted for over a year, served its purpose, and what I dumped out was mostly water, and I replaced it with actual hand soap.
But no, what I did was show disrespect for his things.

Oh I have one. I had a roommate who was watching me get ready for church one Sunday. Just doing my hair and makeup. After she'd been watching for a few minutes she said to me "I really wish that I cared as much about my appearance as you do about yours."
I asked her what she meant by that, and she said that she had noticed that I shower every day, I brush and floss my teeth, I use mouthwash, I do my hair, I put on makeup, I shave my legs, and armpits, and I even make sure my toenails look nice when I wear open-toed shoes.
She then proceeded to tell me that she doesn't shower every day, sometimes forgets to rinse off before she gets out of the shower (I still haven't figured out how that's even possible), only shaves when she's wearing a short skirt, never even considers what her toenails look like, doesn't care what her hair looks like, rarely wants to take the time to put on makeup, and frequently forgets to brush, hates flossing, and doesn't own a toothbrush.
I didn't really know what to say to that. Seriously, what can you say to that? She ended up getting married and her future mil sent her to personal hygiene classes as part of the wedding preparations. Until then I didn't know that those kind of classes even existed...for the record, they don't help.
