Like, sometimes previous renters will spill something down the side of the oven and you won't notice because it's right up against the wall / cabinet / fridge... if you can, pull them out a bit and check to see if there's anything you can clean. Cockroaches will eat grease and can live off of it for a long time. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/5539 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── don't put dirty dishes in the sink you filthy animals put them on the counter NEXT to the sink [it's not arbitrary it's just better] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/4066 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── the lawful good in me says "clean up that spill you just made" the chaotic good in me says "throw a brick at a cop car" and the part of me that listens says "uhhhhh okay somewhere in the middle of those two points is "ignore the spill and the cops and just finish making your ramen I guess?" and frankly that's the one I'm more likely to listen to" and frankly that's the one I'm more likely to listen to. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/4071 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── look, it's alright if you have a pile of clothes on your bedroom floor.
