Guy creates ‘passive aggressive’ museum of housemate’s mess

Is there anything more infuriating than your housemate leaving that small but mind-blowingly maddening pile of dirty cutlery in the sink?

Or letting milk that expired not weeks but months ago sit and fester away to its bacteriological heart’s content in the fridge?

For Hollywood-based comedian Justin Cousson enough was enough.

Fed up with the shambolic state of the house thanks to his messy housemate, Justin decided to create a ‘passive-aggressive art gallery’ with notes explaining the origin of each piece.

For example, a knife left out on the counter which Justin explains was “left... in striking distance of knife block, having been only used to remove seal of ice cream carton, which was also left on counter”.

Discerning gallery curator Justin admits it was “the last thing I saw before I gratefully left town for two weeks”.

Needless to say, Justin’s housemate was less than pleased with his efforts.

“My passive-aggressive art gallery, which spotlights ignorance of basic responsibility and courtesy for others in shared spaces, has been thriving,” Justin wrote on his website. “Although some critics don't care for my emphasis on found pieces.”

The internet, however, didn't have quite the same reaction, instead flooding Justin with tweets supporting his hilarious shaming endeavour.

Like any good pieces of art, Justin has even taken into account the appreciation of items, increasing the price of this coagulating milk from $700 to $900 as the days went on.
