The context of the following conversation is Alex lived in Cameron's house and was incredibly messy and loud at all times of the day and night.:
Cameron says I had to kick Alex out of the house today. I can't live with the guy anymore...he's so messy..
The friend responds Can't you make him clean up after himself?.
Cameron responds I've tried and tried, but he doesn't care.  He's so noise...he talks loud, plays loud music and tv programs, even his video games are  loud..
The friend responds I think I understand. I probably would have done the same thing..
