(no subject)
I just spent twenty minutes hand-washing all of the dirty dishes packed in the communal kitchen sink, even though none of them were mine.
Why? Because when I walked into the kitchen tonight, the first thing that hit me was the stench coming from them, even though all three windows were open.
Making my way to the bottom of the pile, I found dirty dishes left by a flatmate who left town nearly two weeks ago.
I wish that my flatmates would wash dishes as soon as they were finished with them. I've been that way the entire time I've been here. We have enough counter space next to the sink that someone could prepare a meal there; instead, the space is used to hold two dish drying racks that haven't actually dried dishes in ages, because people are just storing their dishes, pots and pans there. Usually I can deal with it, but sometimes -- like tonight -- it's just really annoying to me.
On a related note, I think it's funny that I'm an obsessive cleaner for everywhere except my own room. Because it needs to be cleaned, and I just can't be bothered.
