I really like her but she constantly leaves her things spread around the kitchen; she's not terribly messy but quite messy. She always leaves her food (packaged but still) out on the counter rather than putting it back in her cupboard; unwashed plates on the side, and takeaways out on the side festering. I always chuck them when they get too old/put her dishes in the dishwasher/empty dishwasher and draining board/empty bins. These jobs take about 5 mins and at first I didnt mind doing them, but she hasnt seemed to clock that I keep doing it - I thought shed have the good grace to be embarrassed?
I like having a really tidy, clutter-free kitchen but accept that everyone's different, which is why I haven't nagged. I'm also v confrontation-averse. But I feel like it's only polite to clean up after yourself (our agreement when we moved in); I'm more annoyed as well because she has her aunt staying over this weekend, so they have both been eating takeaways, filling the bin up to beyond full, leaving things on the side and clearly neither can be arsed to walk five steps and take it outside! The surfaces are covered in crumbs and general waste and yet again it was me who put all their stuff in the dishwasher... :/ My mum/aunt would be the opposite and have spent the weekend cleaning!
