I don't understand, but I'll try because I respect you.

Okay this post is mainly to vent a little confusion and frustration, but should the roommate that this is about read it I want her to know that I'm not mad at her and I'm just trying to understand.

So one of my roommates has a really big problem with me leaving stuff on the vanity counter. I leave out my straightener, my hair brush, and my cosmetics bag. When she finally gets fed up enough she gathers it up and puts it in my room on the floor. I don't really understand why it's such a big deal. The only thing we use that counter for is to get ready in the morning. If I'm going to use the same things the next morning what is the point in putting the stuff away? I don't put them away for the same reason I don't sleep in my covers. What is the point? When I asked my roommate what the big deal she said that it just really bothered her just like the full trash can bothered me. I don't really see how the two relate. When the trash can is over flowing it smells so bad that I can smell it from across the room. My cosmetics don't smell at all. The trash can just looks disgusting when it's full. My cosmetics are tucked away in their bag and my straightener cord is wrapped up. We always have more and more trash to put into the bin, but when it's full we can't. Our beauty supplies aren't increasing. They have room to be there.

While I really don't understand what the big deal is I'm trying to be better because I love my roommates and I don't want to be a frustration to them.
