I cleaned the whole flat and left a chore rota. My next-door neighbour took it down.

2 hours of cleaning up after four people, then a rota on the fridge. It was in the bin by morning with no conversation.

A rota that appears with names already filled in isn't a plan, it's a verdict. I'll do my half. I'd like to be in the room when it's written.
