If you are a woman who dates men, chances are you've been involved with a guy who lived like a wild animal. I'm talking garbage on the floor, crud in the sink, sheets and pillows that haven't been washed this century. We've all been there.
And now the women of TikTok are exposing their dudes for the slobs they are in hilarious, viral videos. When it's "your turn" to go sleep at his place, you don't want to have to contemplate wearing a hazmat suit. But that's the reality for many women.

Madelyn Krueger was the first to post one of these videos. In it, she waves goodbye to her nice, neat, cozy bedroom, probably holds her breath, and then plunges into the depths of her boyfriend's rank living space. It's truly disgusting in every sense of the word. The floors don't look like they've been washed in...ever. There are fast food containers strewn everywhere, crud lining the floor of the shower, an indeterminate blob of something nasty on the edge of the sink, and a brown-ringed toilet. In short, it's nasty.
Madelyn's video has been viewed more than three million times, probably because it's intensely relatable for almost every woman who has had to enter the home of a young man who lives alone or with roommates. Why are they so bad at cleaning?! Why are they not programmed to see and deal with mess!Soon, several other women joined in and posted their own versions of the video. If you can believe it, some of them were actually grosser than Madelyn's.

Alexa Hendricks' video of her boyfriend's place starts with a bunch of food just...on the floor. That is not where you keep food! Ahhh! Then, it looks like there's a cookie sheet in the bathroom sink?!
There's laundry everywhere and stuff strewn all over the floor, which is not where loose items go!!! I don't know how she puts up with it.
@katherinetolcher the HAIR on the sink...

Poor Kat's own bedroom looks like a soft, velvety dream, but when she gets to her boyfriend's, it's like a serial killer lives there. There's inexplicably a fan blowing at a plant on their outdoor steps. Dishes are everywhere. There are approximately 879 frying pans just hanging out on the stove, which is not where they should be stored, and to top it all off, there's a squirmy bit of hair stuck to the bathroom sink. That gets a big "No thank you!" from me!

With Kari's video, the hits just keep on coming. There are beer cans everywhere in her boyfriend's apartment. And I mean everywhere. And there's literally a garbage knocked over on the lawn, spilling garbage everywhere. What is he, a raccoon?!
Several other women have participated in this new trend, like Katie, whose boyfriend has a gigantic fake marlin mounted on his wall and other taxidermied creatures sprinkled throughout the place, Natalie, whose boyfriend has beer and ranch dressing in his fridge...and that's it, and Madison, whose guy's bathroom has a whole in the middle of the bathroom sink. Just a big hole.
The moral of this story? Don't move in with a guy until you know he can clean his own space. The fact that these dudes are willing to live like this shows that they are probably blind to a lot of household needs. Make them prove themselves before you get saddled with their mess too!

21 everyday phrases that make people silently scream inside
If you’ve ever cringed at hearing “It is what it is” or rolled your eyes at someone saying “No offense…” before delivering something totally offensive, you’re definitely not alone. Some expressions are so irritating, so overused, or so grammatically cursed that hearing them once more might just push us over the edge.
We asked our Facebook audience, “If you could ban one annoying phrase from existence forever, what would it be?” and holy moly, did the floodgates open. Typically, a given question might rack up around 5,000 comments—but this one? Over 14,000. People shared responses that were funny, petty, brutally honest, and occasionally downright poignant. From phrases that try (and fail) to sound wise, to those so overused they've lost all meaning entirely—here are the top contenders folks are completely done with.
The one phrase nearly everyone wants to vanish
By far the most repeated offender was:
Over and over, users cited this as the ultimate non-response. It’s dismissive, it ends conversations, and it offers exactly zero comfort or help.
Another big category? Expressions meant to comfort that end up being painful or insulting. These include:
Many commenters explained that these phrases, while often well-intentioned, feel dismissive in times of grief or hardship.
Grammar gripes and word crimes
Grammar lovers had a lot of feelings. Some of the most-cited “please stop saying this” phrases included:
And let’s not forget the collective rage over “pacifically” when people mean “specifically.”
Words that reveal more than they intend
Several users took issue with phrases that feel passive-aggressive or intellectually lazy, such as:
As user Jacqueline C. put it, “'To be honest...' What does that mean? That you're not honest any other time?”
Phrases tied to racism, sexism, or toxic positivity
A significant number of respondents took aim at harmful or politically charged phrases. Among them:
These comments weren’t just about annoyance—they were about the emotional weight and social impact of language.
James G. didn’t mince words when he wrote: “‘Go back to your country, then’ 🤬. The epitome of racist. I love my country, plus my ancestors did not ASK to be brought here the way they were.”
Corporate speak and empty buzzwords
You knew these were coming.
These phrases sparked a different kind of rage—one reserved for staff meetings and marketing emails.
Iris H. summed it up: “Most corporate speak. Downsizing. Low hanging fruit. Pivot. etc…..” Just say what you mean, please.
Why this resonated so deeply
There’s something unifying about shared irritation. These phrases might seem harmless or routine, but for many people, they’re like verbal paper cuts—tiny annoyances that, over time, sting a lot more than they should.
Whether it’s poor grammar, dismissive condolences, or flat-out hate speech in disguise, we’re collectively craving language that’s thoughtful, clear, and kind.
So the next time you find yourself reaching for one of these expressions, take a beat. Maybe there’s a better way to say what you mean. Or maybe… just don’t say anything at all.
And if you’ve got your own phrase that should be banished from existence? Don’t worry—there’s still time to add to the list.
