AW(longgg): Can't stand my brother's girlfriend (and brother, sort of...)

Ok. First things first. I got married at 18 (4 months before 19) and moved out a few weeks before I turned 19. I haven't asked my parents for money since I got my first job at 16. I have an older brother. He'll be 24 in October, and he still lives with my dad while he's in school (that both of my parents co-signed loans for), working his crappy full-time job (that doesn't even give him benefits) and not saving a single penny.
My brother has been dating this girl for almost 3 years, and I SWEARRRR she must not even have a home because she sleeps at my dad's house most nights, cooks her dinner at my dad's house, and runs up the water and electric bills at my dad's house.
I can't stand her because since her and my brother have been dating they've had lots of loud sex on my dad's basement couch (there's no door down there and it's right below my dad's bedroom), she used to always be stumbling around to our place drunk at night (she threw up in MY bathroom sink one night and nobody cleaned it up, so I had to the next day when I found it).. Once they ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom basment so they used PAPER TOWELS (my dad buys toilet paper in bulk and there was a huge 24 pack sitting right on the other side of the room from the paper towels), this caused a pipe to burst in the laundry room.
I've spent countless days off cleaning my dad's house up after my brother and his girlfriend's messy dinners and drunken nights. Once she walked into the house when I was in crap clothes, up to my elbows in cleaning products cleaning up one of their messes from the night before, and she looked at me and walked upstairs without even saying anything! My whole family loves her because she is a total a** kiss.
Neither of them help around the house with cooking, cleaning, or bills (well.. my brother JUST started paying for his own cell phone and car insurance this year..) and Christmas is what really set me off.
I was asking them what I should get my dad for Christmas (I only see my family once a year due to me living 2000 miles away) and girlfriend kept saying "Oh you should get him a new non-stick frying pan because the coating is flaking off of his and getting into the food and he won't buy a new one." (my dad has been barely working the past few years and doesn't have much money)... blah blah blah fast-forward to yesterday. My dad said he bought HER a new non-stick frying pan because his is screwed up and her and my brother do a lot of cooking at his house. I know it's HERS, but he was hoping she might leave it at his house so he can use it too (reasonable since they don't help with anything).. Nope, she brought it back to her mom's house. I know Christmas isn't about presents, but all her and my brother got my dad were two shirts, one of which is like preppy-jock style and an ugly pea green color (my dad is 66 and far from preppy/jock).
I apologize for the rant. I just hate that my brother AND his girlfriend are leeching off of my father when he is jobless, and struggling just to keep the house and pay the bills. My dad lets them stay because aside from my brother and I he has no other family alive, and my parents are divorced.
Anyone else have some complete awful in-law/family member bf/gf stories?
ETA: Wording, and Oops. I always USED to be cleaning my dad's house when I lived there. So for about a year of brother and his girlfriend's sickening relationship.

I'm totally confused. You moved out at 18 and live 2000 miles away but you are always cleaning your dad's house?
As horrible as it sounds, your dad is a grown man and if he isn't saying anything then there is nothing you can really do.
So true, which makes me more mad because it's something I can't fix lol.
Double post.
sounds like you were enabling their bad behavior by constantly cleaning up after them. Glad you don't live there now - but honestly, this is your dad's issue to deal with.

This is probably true too. I hated it, but I did it because I couldn't stand living in filth. I went to visit my dad's place in september and it was awful. The only clean room was my old room (my dad put new carpet in, painted, and keeps it as a "guest room") and I literally wore shoes around the entire house (even straight out of the shower when my feet were still wet).
