Do you do the washing up immediately after cooking? Do you leave you shoes in the hall, your coat strewn over your favourite armchair?

Not everyone is super tidy. We can't all be like this man, highly strung and organised to the point of yearly cleaning rotas.

But housemates who don't pull their weight? Few things are more irritating. Why anyone thinks it's okay to leave their used cheese knife on the work surface for... days on end is beyond comprehension.

One man has had enough of his housemates. So he's taken action. A comedian called Justin Cousson has been leaving passive aggressive notes around the house for his pals to find.

Is this the best tactic? Who knows. But it's an amusing one. He's turned his messy home into an art gallery, treating each discarded item like a piece of modern art. His house is now a gallery.

"My passive-aggressive art gallery is thriving, although some critics don’t care for my emphasis on found pieces," Justin writes.

There are pieces such as "cheese knife", currently on sale for $500, a "sour cheese smeared spoon left in the sink" for $3,400, and "boxes left on couch" for a cool $6,000.

Please observe

My personal favourite is the "knife left out on counter in striking distance of knife block, having been used only to remove seal of ice cream carton, leaving quite the sight as the last thing I saw before gratefully leaving town this week"

All artwork has been categorised as "mixed media".

This piece, entitled "forgotten milk", is a particularly moving exhibit.
