Oh and how about we had a roster for emptying the dishwasher but I unloaded it out of my turn, twice maybe, so someone took it down and was like "Oh, well, there's no point in having it if we aren't all going to do it proper..." Cos people get annoyed when I unload the dishwasher at 8am before I've given anyone else a chance to do their flat duty (fair enough, I'll admit). But THEN we make a new roster, I promise I'll behave but no one notices it and one comment is "So when we don't have a roster, you don't do it at all?" Like it's suddenly MY responsiblity when we're not sure it's fair! AND, I pointed out that it's there...yesterday, mid-morning and it's now 6.20pm and the next person on the list (not the one making snarky comments but the other) hasn't done it yet, there are no more dishes in the cupboards, they're all in the dishwasher or dirty on the bench, taking about a third of the bench space cos we have the teensiest kitchen in the world.
GAH!!! *headwall repeatedly* And I can't ask the flatmate to do it cos they get very very sensitive if anyone implies they're incapable of doing something under their own initiative and then they'd be seething for months to come (honestly, I don't think 'months' is an exaggeration"
