Lint

If you've ever lived in an apartment or dorm that required you to use a shared laundry room, you may have experienced an issue with the lint screen.

You find an open dryer and inspect the lint screen to make sure it's clean. Unfortunately, it's not, so you go ahead and clean it anyway, stuff your clothes in the dryer and push the button.

Dum-dee-doo.

Done! Everyone should only have to clean the lint screen once, and since you cleaned it already (someone else's, no less!), you are not obligated to do it again.

Of course, by not cleaning your lint, you leave it for the next sucker to clean, who will be just as pleased to pass their lint on for the next sucker to clean...
