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.
Cleaning the sink is the first step. You cant wash dishes in a dirty sink.
For me it’s the opposite. The dishes make the sink dirty, so you wash the dishes first, and at the end you wash the sink.
but the dish pile never ends, so you never can wash the sink
I can’t relate. After you wash and rinse the last thing, the sink is empty.
That’s their dirty sink?! In this house, it stacks up until the faucet can’t swivel past them. Then you might start figuring out when to make time for them!
never put dishes in the sink
Why??
Because then there will be nothing in the sink to wash. Pro tip.
Because you are a functional adult.
Who should be allowed to do as he pleases with his sinl and dishes
I feel like a crazy person. I thought it was normal to put dishes in the sink and then wash them when you have enough…
It might be normal, that doesn’t mean it’s correct. I mean, your house, your rules, but imo the sink is a workspace and not a storage space. Same reason I put my clothes in the hamper instead of directly into the washing machine.
If you had a washing machine in the same room as your dirty clothes, why wouldn’t you put them directly in the washing machine?
For me, the work the sink does is wash pots and pans and stuff, so putting them there seems logical (and then you wash them and put them in the drainer).
I would not. I separate staging from process.
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.
“Just don’t be an idiot” is a great rule until someone decides to be an idiot. Accidents do happen, so structuring your habits and procedures to minimize risk is worth it.
Yeah your argument is invalid since my habit is literally to not put knives in the sink. Everything else goes in though.
“I don’t need a seatbelt because I don’t crash my car” ass argument
I also don’t put knives in the sink. You know who does sometimes? Roommates, girlfriends, children, and guests. Keeping the sink clear ensures that you have visibility into what goes in. I’ll use the sink as a temporary swap space when I’m cooking or w/e but after that everything goes in the dishwasher or the dish tub.
You might someday find yourself bleeding over the sink and blaming someone else for being an idiot. I will not.
Wtf is a dish tub?
Anyone who puts a knife in the sink gets banned from the kitchen, that’s like drunk driving. You’re putting others in danger if you do that.
