Placing a Character in a Situaton

    Sacagawea and five other people share a microwave and a small refrigerator.  Messie cooks her own lunch every day and leaves a mess.  Her idea of cleaning up is to put a half-eaten plate of food in the refrigerator, not wrapped up.  It stays there getting more and more disgusting until someone else throws it out and washes the plate.  Messie never washes a dish or throws out her trash.  When another person once complained to Messie, she became angry.  Sacagawea and the others are getting more and more annoyed.    
    Sacagawea always stays out of it. Instead of confronting Messie she just cleans up the food and the plate when it gets too bad and never thinks about it until then. What Messie does with her food is her own problem, not Sacagawea's. That is the extent of it in her mind. When it gets bad, she'll throw out the food, but otherwise, she would do nothing.
