I've had the same experience, it seems to be a microcosm of the "tragedy of the commons" that has led to the spoiling of the environment, shared spaces, natural resources etc.
That said, I've worked in an office where the company took a nagging/shaming/signs/emails approach instead of upping the cleaning budget as the team grew, which was frustrating and ineffective. Encouraging people to clean up after themselves is good, but if it's not immediately effective the rest of us shouldn't have to live in filth while we try to get the worst offenders in line.
