1. Your morning routine is sprinkled with unnecessary tidying up from the night before.
Even if you woke up late and only have five more minutes to get ready, because the floors just need to be swept NOW.
2. You've already made the stark realization of being the "Mom" of the house.
The sentence "Use a coaster!" has fell out of your mouth more times than Donald Trump has said "Mexico". (And you know those coasters are organized into separate piles based on what material they are).
3. You're constantly thinking of ways to lower your utility prices and you don't let anyone undermine your financial/conservative savvy.
Oh, you can't believe I keep the house at 78 degrees, can't you? Tell me again how much your bills are for your entire house that you keep at 70? I'll wait.
4. You are a fiend for recycling.
And your roomies catch you literally digging through the trash because someone threw away three plastic water bottles and an orange juice carton instead of putting it in the designated recycling box you so diligently set FIVE FEET AWAY.
5. You go to the kitchen to get a snack and then it's two hours later and the entire kitchen is spotless and rearranged and you don't know what just happened.
It happens with the bathroom too. A harmless pee break can turn into a thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected masterpiece before you even register what you're doing.
6. You re-do chores a roommate has already done.
I get it, you feel bad you didn't clean, and I didn't have to do it, but just let me rearrange how you loaded the dishwasher because there's a better way and I love you so shut up.
7. You get off when the to-do list for the house is all checked off.
It definitely keeps you motivated.
8. You know that everything has its place. And you know when something is not in its place.
I can tell you exactly where our two different can openers go based on frequency of usage, that the lid to the popcorn maker is not actually with the popcorn maker and how I've been meaning to fix that, and where the plastic tupperware is v. the glass tupperware, because those two groups of tupperware can't be mixed, they just can't.
9. You're the first to clean/organize for a party, after the party, and sometimes before the party is even finished.
Excuse me, I know you're getting turnt, but there was a slight wine spill on the stove top and can you move please.
10. The mere thought of paying a bill late gives you the same effects as a scary movie.
I still remember the day–end of April, 2016, I forgot about my water bill and paid it with only two hours to spare. It still haunts me.
11. You are constantly trying to figure out the casual way of telling your roommates how things should be done in the house without sounding like a crazy demon from the deep.
But your roommates know what you're doing. And they're frightened.
12. You know your roommates represent the "cool" ones on Friends, like Joey and Rachel, and that in your heart you know you will always be Monica.
She technically was the most popular character circa seasons 1-3, before her adorable neuroses were just too freaking much for people.
13. You actually love being Monica.
Someone has to. Girl gets it done.
