How can I politely point out mistakes or wrong manners of people older than me?
I have a new roommate who just moved in a week ago. She seems to be normally a nice person, but I have lots of things I dislike about her as a roommate. For example, she doesn't clean the bath tab after taking a shower. She has long hair and after washing her hair, the hairs thats fallen from her is left on the bath tab. If I were her family, I wouldn't mind probably. But I mean she shold clean it up by herself right after she takes a shower. It's the manner. I really want her to stop doing this but I'm afraid that she might get so pissed off because she should be very old enough (she's early 20s) to know about it.
Answers:
Politely point it out to here and the potential plumbing problems! She might not know! I have to admit, it wasnt until I had three daughters and they were in preadolescent years, AND someone else pointed it out to me, that I caught it and I grew up with sisters!
Other answers:
Just ask her to clean it up. It probably doesn't occur to her that it's a problem. Quite frankly, I wouldn't bother either.

send here a nice email :)
Just tell her in a nice and polite manner. She'll probably be annoyed at first but if you tell her nicely, she shouldn't think too much of it.
Just tell her, you said she is a nice person. she will understand
Next time you get room mate, set up guidelines. Explain to her how long hair clogs the drains (shower and/or tub and sinks). Let her pay for plumbing bill or clean trap herself. My plumber recommended monthly because of my son shaving and not letting water run to flush the trap.
