You ask someone to take care of something.

They say they will.

The next day, it still isn’t done. You remind them.

“Oh, right. I’ll do it.”

Later, you walk past and see that nothing has changed.

You could remind them again. Instead, you do it yourself.

That evening they notice.

“I thought I was going to do that.”

“It’s okay.”

“You could have reminded me.”

“I know.”

You finish putting everything away.

“It was easier.”
