Yesterday
our kitchen is shared between approximately 16 people. about 7 of those people actually clean their dishes. for some un-fucking-known reason, certain students find it impossible to:
1) take your dishes to the sink
2) wash your dinner dishes, and
3) the dishes used to prepare your meal
4) dry all the aforementioned items
5) put the tea towel ( Read more... )

oh oh! Evil suggestion for dirty dish people...find out who dirtied what, and place it in front of their dorm room on the floor so when they walk out of their room (or in) they CAN'T miss it.

OR at Point Pelee when they started getting fed up, the clean staff actually got a cardboard box, and labelled it as "dishes that aren't cleaned by the end of the week will be thrown in the garbage" and then the clean staff just kept a couple of dishes in their offices that they would use and wash and bring back so the shortage wouldn't affect them. Dirty dishes were put in the box, and at the end of the week, those dishes magically disappeared, never to be seen again. The catch is, the clean people have to be self-disciplined enough not to clean those dishes.

P.S. I totally know what you mean about your bf drinking too much for you to be comfortable...I'm pretty much in the same boat with mine...he's military so it's practically a drinking cult!

Anywho, nighty night! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

we've thought about the door thing. (Ngaio wants to duct tape the items to their doors, ha)
and we're not willing to throw the dishes out, exactly, because we all share. the most annoying thing is pots and pans, because we only have like, 2 of each size. not only that, but the "offended" could easily report us to someone for throwing out their things. it's not like we have any real authority over them, you know? it's really tough. having said that, us clean ones are willing to report our dirty neighbours if things don't change soon.

yeah... he didn't end up going to Arthur's, and felt really really guilty. i think that's partly cos he was drink, ha, but he went to bed early, professing his apologies. i don't know... it isn't fixed permanently, but for now we're okay.
