apple?

so there i was dying my hair which is something that i do at home, periodically.

i've basically been doing this since i was like..15, so generally i don't really mess up the place.

but today, i forget, there are 2 x 1/2 mm specs of dye on the bathroom tile and i just, well, didn't actually see the damn specs.

i was then marched into the bathroom, and demanded to clean it up.

i usually don't mind but honestly, the cleaner is due in in 9 hours, literally, to do a once-over. could it not wait?

she glared at me, and gasped for emphasis, and stated in a melodramatic tone what a BAD MEAN person i am to leave things for the cleaner to clean. who the hell am i to be allowed to do such preposterous, lowly things?

it was a puzzling moment where i felt guilt(!!) even though i don't believe i was wrong. then i became deeply confused.

am i lowly and mean? am i guilty for letting the cleaner do their magic? i can agree it's not so nice if i left it for a few days just so someone else could clean it, but is 9 hours unbelievable and disgusting?

now if i soiled my apartment with mud and random gardening materials, stained the tiles on purpose or something, or even just plainly had a big crazy drunken party, then left it, waiting for the unsuspecting cleaner to find the impending doom, THAT would be lowly.

but are a couple specs of easily washable dye (that was hardly visible to begin with) off a tile wall a big tragedy for the cleaners to deal with?

oh well, some people are anal.


Nope, that's not lowly compared to what I do. I don't do any house chore and leave it all to the cleaner. That includes leaving food crumbs where they land, and not taking out the trash.
I sometimes leave junks lying about and expect them to vanish by themselves... and they do.

So don't worry, you should feel good about yourself. I've got you covered :)
