No doubt, and I also think Lister exaggerated it purposely to disgust Rimmer "That's why I never buy any soap or deodorant or socks or anything like that, you know," and I've put that in fics, too. Part of it is also just my own perspective, though, which I think is Rimmerene - I mean, even a normal level of scruffiness can get to me. *meep* I have yet to meet an unpartnered male with a shower curtain I could deal with. (I've known some divorcees and widowers with bathrooms I can live with, but I think they've been influenced.)

Yeah, that's a good point; if you don't like something, it tends to be all the more visible. It probably exaggerates itself in Rimmer's mind, just as Rimmer's faults exaggerate themselves in Lister's.

Um... If you ever come to visit our place, make sure to give warning a few months in advance. Rimmerine cobos may be, but not when it come to cleaning. Hehehe...

Yep. I think the things that frustrate both of them would be foremost in their minds - Lister's slobbiness to Rimmer, and Rimmer's continual self-interest-filling cowardice for Lister. :p I just feel like that is maddeningly frustrating for Lister, and that feeling permeates the show, especially in V and VI. Then Rimmer starts to change more...

Oh, I'm good with visiting folk. But when I start dating someone, I start thinking, "Could I visit this bathroom every morning?" :p
