Mention this little "idiosyncracy" to her ... and that it's predominantly ridiculous, but also a bit annoying.

BUT DON'T expect this to have any effect on her the first dozen or so times you mention it. The first few, she won't hear it b/c she thinks you're just grousing. The next few, it'll start to take hold ... but she won't admit you're right about it. After the 8th or 9th time, it'll get some traction. BUT your side of this bargain is, when you notice she's doing something and not chafing your a$$ about your "non-participation", say something nice that lets her know your appreciate that you got through to her.

And it doesn't matter what exactly got through to her -- that you were right in the first place, or that, right or wrong, you don't want to feel like you have to be her cleaning dancing monkey when she plays the cleaning tune.
