To start with I think anyone who's ever lived in a student house will have encountered a lot of the above
This. He's not retarded just a ****ing ignorant moron.

My housemate was so concerned about (his) washing up piling up, he binned every spare piece of cutlery and plate so we had one plate one knife/fork etc..
Then proceeded to start using all the pots and pans as bowles to eat from piling them up in the kitchen instead. And then just the other week saying he thought the binning of cutlery worked?
That's just the tip of the iceberg...

I do.
Shower and Iron will be common the rest on a rare occasion. I've never thrown away the hoover bits though, that'd be annoying.
I think it's more likely you need to lighten up a little bit.

It sounds as if your flatmate is at best absent minded but more likely is just plain inconsiderate. Sadly it's something you'll find in shared houses from time to time, if you're lucky then a quiet word will normally improve things, if you're not then they'll just ignore the advice.
Sounds like most of my colleagues at work who fill the kettle to the brim just to make one cup.
My ex's brother used to leave kitchen cupboards open. Left a pizza in the oven overnight and nearly burnt the house down etc.
Managed to get cereal all over the kitchen etc.
I know the type you mean they're just an odd breed!

I would describe the housemate in the OP as a "smart idiot".
We had someone at my old work who did excellent CAD work. Think it was on AutoCAD 14 or 15 so fairly old, but they were top notch drawings. Yet the same guy would switch his machine off while it was halfway through installing a service pack, rendering it into a boot loop and we had to re-image the OS because of that. Lucky for him that his work was on a network drive.

First dig a big whole in your garden as you don't want to be digging it whilst you have a dead body laying there.
Put something shiney down the whole.
Tell house mate you've found some Pirates treasure in the garden.
Wait till he is at edge of whole then bash him hard on the head in a kind of chopping action.
Fill whole.
Go eat a hearty meal as digging & killing works up a healthy appetite.

Many times, as has my other housemate... It got to the point a few years ago we said we couldn't live with him much longer if he carried on. He did get better at cleaning his own crap up but still does random daft stuff that only a half-wit would do - E.g We got a new decent hoover and he threw away all the different ends
Smart-idiot and lack of common sense - exactly!
and the comment someone made about not doing anything when he was living at home, another spot on point. I used to have to wash the car, clean my room, empty dishwasher, take bins out etc to get pocket money. He did (does) bob all at home
You really need to setup a few premium rate phone numbers and install a load of semi-hidden cameras around the house in order to film every move of each housemate. Then, broadcast said footage nationally (obviously edit out boring stuff like sleeping) and have the bovine British public vote their for their least favourite housemate. At the end of each week hold an eviction event where everyone is sat down and the loser announced. BRB, I have an idea for a brilliant new reality show...
