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.
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.
We have three sinking our house and a dishwasher.
- if your dirty dish needs to be hand-washed, put it in the pantry sink.
- if your dirty dish is dishwasher safe, put it in the dishwasher
- if the dishwasher is full, turn it on and put your dish in the sink next to the dishwasher.
- if the dishwasher is clean, empty it, then refill it from the sink next to the dishwasher.

He just threw them out
never put dishes in the sink
Why??
Because then there will be nothing in the sink to wash. Pro tip.
Truly a revelation for the ages. Thanks
It takes up space, which decreases the utility of the sink and thereby increases friction to actually do the dishes. That's why I avoid doing it anyhow. Also it hides stabby things like knives, which is real dangerous, and if you're gonna get got by a knife its better that it not happen in a breeding ground for bacteria
Hiding your knifes between ypur dishes is your own damn fault.
Yeah, I just put everything except for knives in the sink. I don't want to be dulling them against hard things anyway.

One of the utilities of the sink is that it's where dirty stuff goes when you're in the middle of cooking so it's out of the way of food.
I don't want to leave stuff that's been used to prepare something where it could cross contaminate something else. That's what the sink is for
If you're letting your sink get full enough that it becomes a friction to being able to actually clean stuff, you're not doing the washing up frequently enough and should adjust the frequency. And if you put knives in safely, getting stabbed is not a problem; I've never managed it anyway
Moving contaminated things into the sink only increases the contaminated area. It doesn't decontaminate the portion of the kitchen where you were working with hazardous foods and removes your ability to use the sink (eg, wash your hands) without creating contaminated spray. Same reason you don't wash chicken in the sink. So you leave those items in that area until you are ready to sanitize it, and then you sanitize the utensils as well. Your sink shouldn't just be a food safety hazard by default.
We have very different size kitchens if you think I have space to leave stuff on my worktop in the middle of cooking
Of course you sanitise the top before you put something else on it, sorry I thought i was clearer about that.
My sink is also deep enough to be able to wash my hands without spraying whatever is underneath everywhere with ease, so I'm thinking that's point two for different kitchens between where I live and you do.
Finally, who the hell is washing chicken?! That sounds like someone who shouldn't be near a kitchen

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.
Rising numbers? Where do I invest?
I believe in you
Massive if true.
It's a win. Sometimes that's enough.
Man you could have nested those dishes and got way more slacking time
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.

This but unironically.
Better than most linkedin posts
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!
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.
Kinda trying to low key not freak out. Which is the before and after?
