The best choice would be to express her frustration in a non-aggressive way by using "I" statements. Saying "It annoys me that you leave your dirty clothes for me to pick up" communicates her feelings without attacking him or making threats. It also gives him the opportunity to understand how his actions are affecting her and hopefully change his behavior in the future.
