Seeing these posts make me glad I worked in food service to power through my autism.
Like someone else said, washing a buffet for 100 will get you through that shit quick. Same with food pickieness. Making assembly line style food and seeing how much really goes on from start to finish was an eye opener.
Fucking hated it but was worth it for perspective.
TIL that one can “power through autism”.
Works in a similar fashion as “praying the gay away”
I worked as a dishwasher when I was in high school and you get over this real quick.
Because at least you’re not cleaning up shit after someone destroyed the bathroom.
If you rinse your plates as soon as you finish eating then you need not worry about such things. Filth begets more filth.
I always have tongs next to the sink because of this. Nasty bones in the garbage disposal? Tongs. Clogged drain. Tongs.
the things you put on your feet?
Those are called thongs in some countries, but not tongs afaik. Also the US doesn’t call them thongs, so this is for those people confused by this. Tongs are those things that are kind of like chop sticks but joined at the end so they can grab stuff - usually from hot places like a grill or stove.
Sorry, I’m not a native speaker so I had no idea what those grabber things were called, thanks for explaining!
that’s so clever i can’t believe i didn’t think of this
Just don’t confuse them for ones you use to cook lol
Is this like the poop knife I keep hearing about?
This is some grade a baby ass shit
- laughs in european sinks *
Explain
European sinks are typically much larger than American or Canadian sinks, so it’s likely that the person climbed inside of their sink and was laughing while inside of it.
My kitchen sink is massive as are my friend’s. Where do you think we wash our SUVs?
I’ve lived in Europe my whole life and only ever seen that system in the bathroom. But I also have a rather nice dishwasher because life is too short to spend it standing over the sink like a fucking chump.
I love washing dishes. I watch YouTube or listen to a podcast, and it’s better than fishing for me. Especially after a party of some sort, when there’s shitload of them
Well if you want to hand wash my dishes you may feel free to do so. But you have to wear cat ears and a maid outfit while doing so.
Is doing the dishes a requirement or can I just come over in cat ears and a maid outfit?
How do you feel about life in the far north?
I used to hate doing dishes but then I discovered the podcast+dishes combo and it’s like magic because somehow I can be entertained and productive at the same time!
Wanna be my roommate?
Did you upload a youtube video to show a lemmy stranger your sink?
Hell yeah

Hero.
That’s a Chad move right there
just wash your hands afterwards, what’s the issue?
Do you have a problem putting your hand into a toilet bowl filled with shit and piss? If so, what’s the issue? Just wash your hand afterwards.
The issue isn’t that your hand will be forever tainted. Disgusting things are disgusting, even if they don’t have a lasting impact.
that’s because it smells
Brackish dish water smells too. Your hand shouldn’t smell anymore after you wash it. So what’s the difference?
idk what dishes you are doing but my dishwater doesn’t smell as much as poop and urine
Just wash your hands afterwards, what’s the issue?
You’ve replaced the dirty dish water with something far worse and because that’s disgusting, dish water should be disgusting too, and you somehow think you owned me? Or maybe you’re just whiney about water that’s a bit dirty? If you really need gloves for that, it’s your problem but I’m just saying it seems really unnecessary to me.
I’m not trying to “own” you, don’t be childish. My whole point is: people find things disgusting even if they don’t leave a permanent mark. For you, the threshold is somewhere between brackish dish water and a filled toilet bowl. For other people it’s below brackish dish water. Just accept that other people find things disgusting that you don’t find disgusting, don’t try to tell them “but it doesn’t leave a permanent mark, what’s the issue”.
The texture of that top layer film
you wash it off it’s not that hard
Yes it is
It’s still icky

i washed dishes at a pizza joint, this would always make me gag
This is why it’s good to have some kitchen/dish gloves. And if you can get them with extra long sleeves, the better. It’s actually worse if the nasty water gets inside them 🤢
Skin is natures gloves
This is when Drake has to touch 18 year old pussy.
Forgot to turn off trash disposal
All these creative solutions for doing this without sticking your hand in makes me wonder how people usually do the dishes that doesn’t involve putting your hands in anyways? Like gloves would help with both, but the rest?
A dishwasher?
Use a spoon.
Then you have to wash it! Help I’m stuck in recursion!
To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
