There’s a sign in my workplace lunchroom that forbids people from leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen sink.

Every time I see this sign, I’m saddened.

Do we really need this sign?

What kind of monster leaves dirty dishes in the sink? Do I really work with the kind of people who would commit such a thoughtless, heinous crime against humanity?

Honestly, who leaves dirty dishes in the sink? What kind of person leaves the detritus of their meal behind for others to clean?

Maybe it’s just one soulless monster who has necessitated this sign. I hope so.

Even if that’s true, it still makes me sad.
