      I was given so much stuff when I bought my house. My one aunt had a shopping addiction and just gave me all of the kitchen shit. I live alon and my house is too small and laid out too weird for me to comfortably have guests. Idk what to do with everything, so it just stays in a cabinet. I don’t want to throw it out because it’s nice, but I have no use for it

      I have a giant stack of plates. So they can go into the dish washer after I use them. Same thing with boxer shorts and the laundry.

    you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft

    We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

        Dude I’m 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it’s up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.

          Yeah, I can understand that. That’s normal. But a 19 year old eating alone in their room so much, and collecting all of the dishes in the household, so the family has none and has to actively seek them out and ask for them is what’s odd to me.

            Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make it sound like that 19 year old isn’t poorly raised. They definitely are poorly raised. I just meant to say I’m not too far off myself. 😅

              No worries, I think a lot of us have these periods in our lives where we neglect stuff like this at times. Just the 19 year old living at home and hoarding dirty dishes seems to hit different when they need to be asked to bring them out and they’re still living with their parents.

      That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!

      Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.

        In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic

          In hindsight I should have used “or” instead of “and”.

          But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.

          If you live alone, though, I’d advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.

  • Seems inefficient having to wash everything every time? Not sure. But it would irritate me to have to do that rather than doing more, once, at the end of the day.

      I just rinse them and use a bit of hand soap, so it takes like ten seconds. Personally, I usually prefer that over spending an extended period of time washing the dishes, because my neck starts to hurt, since I’m too tall for the kitchen sink.

        To each their own.

        My other half has to do every dish even if we don’t need to, I do everything when there’s enough for a full load in the washer. She’s happy to have nothing needing to do, I’m happy to have the satisfaction of the efficiency of doing the most work in the shortest time.

        We’re all different.

    He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can’t find some else and feels the urge to kill again.

      Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I’m not fuckin around.
