It's rude to not help with dishes after a meal.
Sean has just finished up dinner with his wife Linda and his plate sits empty on the table.
Sean wants to do something about the plate.
Sean takes the plate and washes it in the sink before putting it on the dish rack to dry.
Sean takes the plate and puts it in the sink and then walks away to go watch TV.
Linda is delighted to see Sean doing his part to keep the house clean, so she doesn't have to do everything.
Linda is annoyed that Sean left the plate in the sink for her to wash while he relaxes.
