The sponge didn’t move though…
Our dishwasher died like 3 years ago. It was leaking water as well we found out later. Havent had the money to replace it for years plus I dont wanna know the damage done and having it replaced could bring more issues i can’t afford… instead we got a smaller rv countertop washer and been using that ever since. Its to small to do everything but will do all the kids cups and silverware fine. I just got a sink full of bigger dishes just like this forever waiting for me to finish or I wash the ones i need right before cooking lol. Depression sucks.
Better than most linkedin posts
See, this doesn’t really happen to me because doing the dishes is one of my favorite chores. It’s doing the bins that’s a pain in the hole.
It’s a win. Sometimes that’s enough.
Now show me the pile next to the sink just out of frame
Dont call me out like this …
Listen, they only told me to clean the sink. Didn’t say shit about the dishes.
Man you could have nested those dishes and got way more slacking time
never put dishes in the sink
I generally agree, but my dishwasher will finish, I open it, and some shit is still wet. Water in concavities, the conglomeration of plastic kids shit. It just is what it is, and so sometimes dishes chill in the sink as though it’s the on deck circle, waiting for their turn at bat.
I do organize the sink when this becomes an issue. Silverware into a glass filled with water (gotta weigh it down), bowls stacked on plates, that sort of thing. When dishwasher finally emptied out, we move sink in. Rinse and repeat.
I’m just forever the optimist and so I don’t like to say never (jk I’m incredibly pessimistic).
Why??
It takes up space, which decreases the utility of the sink and thereby increases friction to actually do the dishes. That’s why I avoid doing it anyhow. Also it hides stabby things like knives, which is real dangerous, and if you’re gonna get got by a knife its better that it not happen in a breeding ground for bacteria
Hiding your knifes between ypur dishes is your own damn fault.
Yeah, I just put everything except for knives in the sink. I don’t want to be dulling them against hard things anyway.
You thought wrong fool.
Move everything to the bathtub
OMG I straight up used to do that all the time. I would leave my dirty dishes and pots stacked up until I had nothing left to eat on or cook with and then eat takeout for weeks on end. Then I would finally put everything into the tub to soak because that was the only thing big enough. And then I’d leave the shit there until I absolutely needed to take a shower.
Counterpoint: decreasing the utility of the sink is a decent way of incentivizing a rapid cleanup. Its main function is cleaning anyway and you’re likely to not need it for food items soon if you just filled it with the dishes from your most recent meal.
If you don’t own a dishwasher, the sink is likely also the best place to temporarily store dirty dishes. If you have two sinks and not a ton of dishes, you can even use one sink for washing and the other for storage.I grant you the danger of hidden blades though. One thing that can help is washing knives separately so you know when to expect them.
One of the utilities of the sink is that it’s where dirty stuff goes when you’re in the middle of cooking so it’s out of the way of food.
I don’t want to leave stuff that’s been used to prepare something where it could cross contaminate something else. That’s what the sink is for
If you’re letting your sink get full enough that it becomes a friction to being able to actually clean stuff, you’re not doing the washing up frequently enough and should adjust the frequency. And if you put knives in safely, getting stabbed is not a problem; I’ve never managed it anyway
When I wash dishes if there’s a lot, I rinse them and take them out, organize em by type on the counter. Then I get my sponge and grave one by one and scrub them and place them in the sink. When the sink vets crowded I rinse those off.
If its a medium pile I scrub them and put them on the counter until I feel I’ve done enough and the rinse them off
Because then there will be nothing in the sink to wash. Pro tip.
Truly a revelation for the ages. Thanks
You’re not my mom.
I have been thinking of the dishes in the sink for two weeks but their number only keep rising
If my house burns down overnight and there were dishes in the sink, hey, at least I didn’t waste time and water washing them. It’s not laziness, it’s creating opportunities for catastrophic resource optimization.
Rising numbers? Where do I invest?
I believe in you
Those photos have been swapped around.
I thought this was a linkedIn post at first
No proof it ain’t.
Another French press shitpost ! A new trend is starting!
