That's why we must take inspiration from Absurdism and it's heroes and imagine Sisyphus happy wait wrong Camus book, you gotta just move all your furniture into your living room/kitchen so you only ever have to clean one room and just eat your meals out of the pot you cooked them in. Or get yourself arrested so you don't even have to think about that bullshit.
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.
I don't know what you just said but I will say that in my college days they gave college kids so much goddamn swag that there were people who used promotional frisbees as disposable plates.
... 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"
