Not sure if you're talking to me Ron, but I'll respond in kind nonetheless:
The problem we often see is people not taking responsibility around the space, so when it comes time to take care of/clean/upkeep something, nobody does it, and then it falls onto someone else. So it would be nice for you to say you'll volunteer to help clean the cooler every once in a while if you want one ;) just saying!
