      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.

      It’s still an improvement. I don’t understand why, of all the places you could choose to leave dirty dishes, there is this instinct to block off the place where you wash the dishes. This is one of those “grow the fuck up you aren’t in college anymore” issues for me. Preferably, just wash the fucking dish when you use it, but at the very least rinse it off and put it next to the sink so you can still, you know, use the damn sink.

        This is why I’ve considered a double sink to be mandatory in any place I get. At some point I’m going to just get a commercial style sink and use a tub or something in there to contain the dish water and soaking dishes, though most dishes go in the dishwasher.

        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

            “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.

                  Are we talking about a full sink of water here or what? Because how do you miss a knofe otherwise? Not looking into the sink when reaching in?

                  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.

            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).

    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.
