You don’t have gloves?
OP uses mittens. Knitted mittens.
They’re easier to suck clean.
Boil your pasta in it to enjoy the flavors without the risk.
I’ve done lots of construction and many years ago I started wearing rubber gloves every time I do dishes. I used to not wear gloves but there’s nothing like losing big chunks of your callouses from dish pan hands.
And if you play guitar and want to maintain callouses on your fingertips, you have to wear gloves all the time.
I was just about to ask, it is one of the most important items in my kitchen and cleaning cupboard.
If you are getting disposable gloves, get nitrile ones, and make sure that they fit tight over your hands to seal the opening against water ingress.
real men do the dishes with their bare hands B)
Real men get the tools they need for the job required.
In this case, rubber gloves.
it was a joke, I prefer to simply wash my hands after but if you want to use gloves, you do you I guess
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.
- laughs in european sinks *
Explain
Did you upload a youtube video to show a lemmy stranger your sink?
Hell yeah
🤴
That’s a Chad move right there
Hero.
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
Wanna be my roommate?
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!
I’m physically about as white as it’s possible to be. But I’m not nearly white enough to be entertained by podcasts.
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?
Cheaper sinks without that mechanism still have the plug attached to a chain you can just yank, so you can unplug without reaching in either way.
Holy shit! Need that!
Omg that is legendary
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?
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
It’s still icky
Yes it is
This is some grade a baby ass shit
This is when Drake has to touch 18 year old pussy.
If you rinse your plates as soon as you finish eating then you need not worry about such things. Filth begets more filth.
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”
“Be mindful of me, I’m autistic.”
“Just walk it off!”
I just wash under running water. I know, it’s wasting water, but i have a dishwasher now, so i rarely have to do it manually.
My partner often uses a bowl for dishwashing, you can just tip the water out without inserting your hand.
If you have a plug it may be a good idea to use one with a chain.

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
This looks like a poop knife sort of scenario.
Is this like the poop knife I keep hearing about?
Laughs in Dishwasher
Use a spoon.
Then you have to wash it! Help I’m stuck in recursion!
To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
You have to clean the sink anyway if the water was dirty.
This whole post needs dishwashers ASAP. Doing the dishes is fine with 1.5 people or so, but with more folks it gets tedious quickly.
Forgot to turn off trash disposal
Why don’t Americans just use a trash can to dispose of trash?
It’s not fun enough
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.
i washed dishes at a pizza joint, this would always make me gag
