15. Do you have any recurring arguments with family members or housemates about cleaning? Describe.
I currently live alone, but for a long time I lived in a cooperative house, and dishes were always a source of contention. We only had one kitchen sink for seven people living in the house. Some people cleaned and dried their dishes right away (like me), and others would leave their dishes to soak and only sometimes remember to clean them later, or the real slobs would just leave their dirty dishes on the table or the counter where they'd used them. This came up as an issue at a solid majority of the many dozens of house meetings we had, and even when it wasn't raised as an issue, oftentimes it was lurking in the background. The cleaner people, such as myself, felt that it was easy for the kitchen to get very dirty very fast, and so we'd better keep on top of the dishes. The "soakers" wanted to feel relaxed at home, and leave their dishes sometimes without feeling hounded. And the ones who just left their dirty dishes around tended to be young and male, and perhaps more used to being cleaned up after by their mothers.
