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 🤢
I used to get “reusable gloves” but they wear out too easily so then I bought some industrial use silicone dipped gloves for handling lye but instead I use them exclusively for dishes and cleaning now. I have a second pair for handling lye and other caustic chemicals.
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?
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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
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!
