One of the things I hate about my current living situation is that it seems to be a good example of the tragedy of the commons. And what I mean by that is that nobody takes responsibility for keeping the shared areas clean, and there’s at least one jackass who doesn’t bother cleaning up his own messes.

Today I mopped the kitchen floor and cleaned the toilet. Both have needed doing for some time. There was some spilled milk under the fridge which had hardened and stank somewhat. This hadn’t been overly noticeable until the last couple of weeks since the waste disposal unit hadn’t been working for months and some idiot was throwing crap in it despite knowing it wasn’t working.

I don’t like cleaning, and I hate cleaning up other peoples’ messes.

On the bright side, the place is now closer to being in a fit state for inviting friends around. Hmm… I wonder where I can find some of those…
