And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"GOOD JOB NOT DRIVING YOUR CAR INTO THIS TUNNEL!"

Like!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is sooooo funny!!

Where are the cars supposed to go in that instance-- is it some sort of dead end. I don't think I would drive into it, but it does look confusing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

it is pretty hard to do a bad job unless you have vision problems or are paying no attention

You have not had my roommates. Also, I have issues.

Hee. Only a little kid gets punished with risotto.

I was thinking the same thing.

I think it's the second part that gets people in trouble.

In conclusion, I want a dishwasher.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Back when I had roommates (and by far the lowest tolerance for mess among us), I used to start cleaning the kitchen in plain view during quiet times without saying anything, and eventually a sort of herd mentality kicked in and they'd start helping. I always had to be the one to get things started, but at least they didn't feel comfortable just sitting there and watching me work. Self motivation works much better than being told to do a chore by someone else—they'd feel good about pitching in later on rather than being resentful about me bossing them around.

I would much rather be directly asked to do something than passive-aggressively guilt-tripped into it. YMMV.

I would much rather have asked them upfront to do some cleaning, but that almost never actually worked when I tried it.

I think the reason I let dishes pile up so long is that I am a total perfectionist about cleaning them, so it takes me awhile. I also have not figured out how not to get totally wet from my neck to crotch while washing dishes. I am sure other people do not, but I don't understand. I know at least part of it is having short arms, large breasts, and being fat, but still, other people do it.
