Reply to comment by New-Temperature5500 in LPT Request: How to get my roommate to do the dishes on time? by New-Temperature5500

Time for a new roommate. That sucks. You can let her know that the dirty dish thing is about mutual respect, not simply about dirty dishes. You can ask her, "What is it about me that makes you think it is ok to disrespect me and my living space?" Be direct. Make it uncomfortable. Essentially asking, "what is it about me that makes you think it's ok to sh*t all over me?"

Okay this is good. I kinda wanna talk it out first and I’ll use this. I am moving to another place but I have to live with this roommate for around 4 more months.

Before I say this to her, would it be better to just change the arrangement where we both rinse and put our dishes in the dishwasher (by the end of the day probably)? I just want to live here peacefully without any conflicts honestly. 😭

That might be a low- confrontation way to do it, but I imagine she won't comply with the rinsing and putting in dishwasher rule...and you will be the one stuck always unloading the clean dishwasher.
