Yufu Shimada
I think Japanese tend to state indirectly because they don't break relationship with their friends. If I were in this situation, I would wash the all of dishes. I think the best solution is they wash the dishes in turns. what do you think about my opinion? If you have such a situation, what do you do?

As an American I voice my opinions more, but I really am a quiet person and hate agruing with people -especially friends and family. I am a very neat person, I can't stand seeing a mess.
ReplyDeleteSo I do agree with you and I would have probably just done all the dishes myself to just get them out of my sight. At the same time, I would be very agrevated because most people would take advantage of that and say, "oh, well if she did the dishes once.. maybe she'll just do them all the time for us!" and then you will be the person getting left with all the messes.
I think that taking turns with dishes is completely fair. But I also think that if you are someone that was using a greater amount of things than the normal consumption of the rest of the members of the house, then you should be respectful of those who don't use that same amount and be more couretious of where you leave things and maybe that person should have more turns at cleaning than the rest.
I don't live on our college campus, I live at my own home still - So I don't have experience living with other people my age, but I do have some experiences with this type of situation. Many years ago my mother had gotten aggrevated with all the dishes in the sink (that were mainly my brother's), so she came up with the plan that if you use them during the day you better clean them. Then after she prepared dinner at night and we had all eaten, then we would each take turns and one person would wash and another would dry and put them away.
