"Did you notice that the kitchen ceiling has a leak?"

"Yeah. Actually, I happen to have noticed several days ago, the last time it rained."

"What!? Why didn't you have it fixed? Or, at least, why didn't you tell me about it?"

"Because the leak stopped when it stopped raining."

"...but it's raining again, and it's leaking now."

"Sure, but it'll stop again soon. It can't rain all the time."

"Haven't you heard of being proactive, and taking care of problems before they become serious?"

"Sure. Haven't you heard of putting buckets under leaks, instead of giving your roommate grief?"
