Why??
lauha@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because then there will be nothing in the sink to wash. Pro tip.

Fine then, you do the dishes.

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).

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.

It’s a win. Sometimes that’s enough.

Massive if true.

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.

That it does.

I don’t have a dish washing machine. Now I own some cups that are handwash only, so I can never own a dishwasher.

Madison420@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah but it’s nasty because it’s in with the dishes all wet and gross. This is the reason I’m really cautious about how who’s home I eat at.

Tools for success… get a plastic tub about half the size of that sink, wash them in the tub and rinse them in the open sink.
Tango@piefed.ca 2 months ago
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.

Another French press shitpost ! A new trend is starting!
5too@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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!

Listen, they only told me to clean the sink. Didn’t say shit about the dishes.

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.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

Don’t block access to a shared resource is a golden rule.
Here is the system as it exists in my kitchen.
The counter is a shared resource. Leaving dirty dishes there keeps people from using the counter for food prep, preparing leftovers, or anything else.
The sink is also a shared resource. Leaving dirty dishes there also blocks people from using the sink for food prep, but only really washing produce or draining pasta. Crucially, dishes in the sink does not block them from washing hands, filling up a glass of water, or… doing the dishes. Dishes also can’t be knocked onto the ground or get the counter dirty if they’re in the sink instead.
Since the sink is less affected by being blocked than the counter, people in my household tend to put things needing to be washed in the sink…into the sink. Then, they’re right where they need to be when it’s time to hand-wash them, or it is time to clear and wash the sink for food prep.
One of my pet peeves is when people leave dirty items where they were eating on the kitchen table or haphazard on the counter next to the sink… I get that the dishwasher was clean and they were in a hurry, but it makes the whole kitchen feel dirty. If you don’t have time, at least put them out of the way into the sink, which is coded as a “dirty” place by default, one that gets cleaned regularly and is meant to be cleaned often.
I would like to hear about your system too because I’m sure it makes equal sense to you.

We run into this because we like to pre-soak things. Then we get busy with something else, another meal happens, those dishes also need to soak, and pretty soon everything is blocked by everything else.
The alternatives we see are:
