[quote=Anonymous]Yep. I'm more than happy to shock and horrify you all with the sordid tales you came here for. We're grown-ass adults in our mid 30s and we both hate cleaning so we just...don't.

We'll clean if company is coming over (which always becomes an all day affair since everything is so filthy) but other than that really the only "cleaning" we do is picking up empty cans/bottles and taking out the trash.  Dishes only get done when the sink gets completely full, our dining room table is basically just a pile of mail. Our living/dining area has plastic shopping bag tumbleweeds drifting around constantly and is littered with opened Amazon boxes.

Litter boxes get emptied once every two weeks or so. The one in the living room is quite ripe right now.  Nothing has ever been dusted. I just ran my finger over the air conditioning return vent and wiped off about a quarter inch or dirt and lint and grime.  You can write messages in the grease coating the over-the-stove microwave.

There's a potted plant in the corner of my living room that's been dead for three years now. Speaking of corners, every corner has a pile of cat and dog hair accumulated.

The basement has about 15 dried hairballs on the floor, thank goodness it's tile and will wash off if we ever get around to it.  The dryer has a pile of lint trap extractions on top of it about the size of a science fair volcano. Our sectional is gray but one section is brown, because that's the dog's spot and he sheds like crazy.

And don't even get me started on the bathrooms. The toilets are caked in sloppy mud pie. the shower curtains are completely covered in mildew. you can't even see the trash can because it's completely encased in a mountain of tissues and boxes and TP rolls.

A little before the start of the pandemic, I hired some cleaners to come by for a "deep clean." I warned them beforehand that it was going to be really, really bad. I guess they didn't believe me, because they quoted 3 hours and 5 hours later they had only finished one floor, and not even to "deep clean" level, just regular clean. The baseboards and cabinets and windows were all still filthy. I felt bad for them so I paid them full price and let them go home.
