My Co-Worker Keeps Leaving the Office Kitchen a Pigsty – What Do I Do?

On Get It Off Your Chest, listener Rachel has reached breaking point with a messy co-worker who seems to think the office kitchen cleans itself. Coffee grounds are left all over the worktop, food is scattered everywhere and dirty mugs are constantly abandoned beside the sink.The worst part? Everyone knows exactly who is responsible, but nobody wants to confront them and start an office argument. Rachel has started cleaning up after them herself, but she's now sick of feeling like their mam!Should she put up a passive-aggressive "Your mam doesn't work here" sign, confront the colleague directly, or simply leave the mess and wait for them to clean it themselves? We debate the best way to deal with a messy co-worker without starting a full-blown workplace feud.
