housemate troubles 2

Update:
I was cooking and had left a colander of drained rice in the draining sink whilst I ate: I had cooked far too much food, in order to feed myself in future meals, and so wasn't going to be able to serve all my food out. My housemate came in after cooking her meal, which had been re-heating some food of hers.
Last time I had received a scolding for getting in the way, so this time I jumped up and moved the rice into a saucepan, it having drained fully by this point. She was unimpressed and I received an unsubtle put-down of "excuse me!" as I cleared the way for her.
Clearly I just get nagged for existing, since I can either clear the way or not clear the way and still not do it right.

I've also been told off because the downstairs loo has now got limescale and she doesn't use it 'much', and because there are cobwebs there. There are no webs, and I have seen two spiders in the house, one in each loo. She mentioned this to me late last night as I was going to bed, and asked me if I thought I'd ever clean the loo early this evening. I was out all day at work (whereas she has been off work in the last week).

I've also been told off about the door. She's paranoid about security and likes to multiple-lock the door. On going out once (there have a number of exchanges in which she's been exasperated at me) I double locked it and had to double unlock it when I returned. My housemate had been in all the time and had not used the door. I was told off for double locking the door, despite it not affecting her at all!

I am sure that I've missed a few, but this is a reasonable selection so far.
