Hit 50 days of subletting and finally snapped, my roommate's reaction was priceless

I moved in with a guy in Austin back in March and by day 50 I had already logged 14 different mystery stains on the shared couch and 6 nights where his gaming headset woke me at 3am. Last Thursday I hit the milestone of exactly 50 days and something in me just broke, I quietly put a whiteboard on the fridge listing every offense with dates and times. He saw it this morning and actually laughed, said I should add the day he ate my leftover pad thai which I forgot to mention. Now he wants to negotiate a 'stain amnesty' agreement, which feels wild but maybe it's the only way forward. Has anyone else tried a written ledger or count system with a roommate, and did it actually help or just make things worse?
