The container of leftover stuffing had one bite left in it. And it was going to stay that way. That's because whoever ate it last did not want to wash the container. As we all know, there are some unwritten rules of etiquette for interacting with the food in the refrigerator. Among those: He who eats the last bite must clean the Tupperware.
Of course, there's one way to try getting out of this even if you do finish the last of the food. The container needs to soak! Yes! Remnants are glued to the edges and just won't wash out unless it all sits in the sink for, um, long enough for someone else to happen upon it and need to use the sink.
"Who left this Tupperware soaking in the sink?" can be shouted near and far throughout the house, but there will not be an answer. So, the hapless sink-needer will have to decide whether to work around the murky mess or just clean the darned thing.
The minute I have made the last sponge swipe resulting in a sparkling container, the perpetrator will materialize and say: "I was just going to clean that!"
