My mom swore a chore chart on the fridge would fix the dish war, and I owe her an apology
Six months of me nagging my roommate about his 3-day-old pans piled in the sink got us nowhere, so my mom mailed me a dry erase board and a cheap pack of markers. I stuck it on the fridge with our names and two chores each, and honestly the dishes got done that same night without a word from me. It's been 5 weeks now and the sink stays clear, mostly because he hates seeing his name with an unchecked box more than he hates washing up. The part that bugs me is that she said this back in March and I laughed at her. What's the dumbest little thing that actually worked on your shared place?
