it didn't smell terrible as much as the strange and vividly colorful fungus-like things growing in bowls of watery something, branching and many-tendriled, proved very memorable. and it was hard to clean up when your sink is full of such

for the record i no longer store dishes in the sink

I had the most disgusting roommate in college. For two years.

He was tolerable; paid his share of rent on time, supplied a Sega Genesis, always bought and shared a 12-pack, cooked an amazing meat-loaf, so was pretty decent for a college level roommate.

Would not wash a single dish though. I'd leave stuff over night but get it first thing in the morning. Me and the other roomies would do our dishes and leave his and chastise him to clean up after himself. He never took a bag of garbage out to the dumpster. Never. At first we would fold and end up washing his dishes. After a while, we just started dumping them on his bed, and then in his bed under the sheets. He would shove them out of the bed onto the floor, where they would stagnate. Flies would be attracted. His solution was to buy and use bug spray....

After team yelling matches, everyone else vs him, he would do some cleaning, maybe once a month.

Before our second year, I was going back to college town early and was gonna get the apartment, do the first/last/security and went by his family home to get his share of the downpayment. Everything became clear at that point. From the outside the house looked a bit trashy. poo poo in the yard, broke down car on the lawn, etc. Inside was a war zone. He had spent the whole summer sleeping on what was left of a couch in the living room, scummy blankets, fast food wrappers and dirty dishes everywhere. Everywhere. Rotted out carpet, holes in the wall. It was insane. There was some mental illness in that family and he had inherited a decent dose of it.

He was actually an A+ journalism student. I should google him up and see if he's still successful in the field after all these years.

These are your bad dishes, you use them for after people have had drinks and might break a dish or plate. Eventually your friends will destroy them for you and the problem will solve itself.

1. Upgrades to something nicer or
2. You have a set of plates, but you break one and they don't make that style anymore.

I've got 3 Ikea coffee mugs sitting on a shelf. They've been replaced. They will never be used again as they have a slight design flaw that 10 seconds in a microwave will make handles hot enough to cause 2nd degree burns.

No dirty dishes here. Since, 3/13, it's been 1-2 loads of dishes per day through the dishwasher. Less eating out, but more dishes.

If you flip a plate over you can eat off the other side. Then you'll do dishes half as often. Or something like that I dunno

Because I was busy doing what I can to prep for school*, so I decided to wait until later. Mrs. Genesplicer has gone to bed, so I'll save them until tomorrow, because it gets a bit noisy, and I don't want to disturb her.




















* Due to the fact that we are doing all sorts of weird stuff due to the Coronavirus Interruption and the fact that we can't actually go to the school, things are strange. I'm not even sure what grades I will be teaching next school year, and I have students in one week.

You can't shame me over dirty dishes because I wash them every night. You can however shame me over pressing up against the sink so the bottom of my shirt will always get soaked by dish water the end of washing the dishes.
Edit: also yes I do fill up the sink with more water than is needed for hand washing the dishes.

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
My kids can be pretty bad at not taking care of their plates and forks and stuff so I've floated the idea of assigning them silverware and dishes that are theirs to maintain. Usually that gets them back on track for a few weeks but I don't get being messy in the first place.

Last night I cooked an involved dinner using several pots/pans, utensils, etc and it took all of maybe 5 minutes to wash by hand afterwards. I did the plates and bowls by hand too but only because I was too lazy to break out of hand washing auto pilot and put stuff into the dishwasher.

Doing dishes was one of my punishments growing up and I hate it but I hate dirty sinks more.
