(Statement) My roommate refuses to see the overflowing garbage. (Examples) Even if I place the can in the middle of the kitchen, she steps over it as she moves to the dining room. (a specific detail) I've even seen her push the garbage down and gingerly place a used paper plate right on top, taking great care that it is nicely balanced.
