I’m not entirely sure those existed in '30s Alergia though and we are talking about a guy whose mother had been living with him until pretty recently and is dragging his heels on talking to his landlord about a different lease. Moving all his shit into one room is just his temporary solution to the issue…it’s just there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution. Especially when you end up getting arrested for murder.
Also that doesn’t explain the dishes thing.
… I’m making a reference/joke to a specific book, written by the same guy who’s responsible for the “imagine Sisyphus happy” quote, where the main character does go “fuck doing chores they suck”
