Messie

     Jeremy would most likely pick number 2- Get all the others to vote and deliver and ultimatum to Messie that if she doesn't stop leaving a mess, you will throw all her food out every day.
     "Okay guys, something has to be done about this," I say to everyone as I hold out a dirty dish and a half eaten sandwhich Messie left this morning. Everyone gives a nod of agreement. I put the food and dish down on the kitchen counter making sure that I show disgust on my face. "So here's what I think. We will just tell Messie that if she doesn't start wrapping up her food or rinsing her dishes or leaving a mess, we will throw all of her food away."
     Everyone considers this until all of them decide it's a good idea. "But who is going to tell her? She might throw a fit again," says Josh, one of the other room mates.
     "Well we could vote," I say. "Okay, you can only vote once and you can vote for yourself. As if any of you would want to. All right, who votes for Josh?" Ann raises her hand. Josh gives her a joking but convincing look showing that he will get her for this. "How about Ann?" Josh raises his hand and Ann shakes her head in disbelief but also joking. Mitch also raises his hand. "And how about Mitch?" I raise my hand. Josh and Mitch start jumping and yelling happily as if they had just won the lottery. I didn't say my name because every body has already voted. Ann doesn't look happy, but not surprised either
     "Fine, I'll tell Messie," she says.
     "Tell me what?" Messie walks into the room.
