I'll never understand...

I'll never understand why our roommate, who is a professional (and wonderful) chef has never learned the concept of "clean as you cook". Maybe it is because he normally has helpers but still...

It just isn't hard to rinse things and put them in the dishwasher as you go along. Usually when I am cooking, I do all the prep first and then clean up that stage. Later, I will use any downtime to wipe counters, put things away, etc. By the time the meal is done, there is very little left to clean. My roommate however will have 10 dirty bowls, tons of utensils, and a number of ingredients lying around at the end. Then, after eating, he goes into lazy mode and the stuff doesn't get cleaned until the next day. I don't mind helping out if we have shared in the meal but I'm not really interested when he is cooking for himself. Drives me crazy.
