I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine! I probably would have taken it out if I had realized it was full. I’m an adult and this is my house, I try to keep it clean. “We need to clean up around here!” - What does that mean? Do you want me to clean? Are you going to clean? I thought things were pretty clean, is there something specific that needs cleaning?
Also me and my mom can’t live together because we do dishes differently. I am a “fill and start the dishwasher” person and she is a “Empty the sink” kind of person.
Visiting a friend’s house.
Him: you want some espresso?
His espresso machine:
No, dude. I don’t want dysentery, thank you very much. Clean your machines after every use. The product it makes is a foodstuffs! Blech!
Great now I can have a new fear of people growing a colony of something in their espresso machine.
