Once had a friend stay the night to help me prepare a fuck ton of food for a party the next day. He had the audacity to criticize me for spending a bunch of time doing the dishes afterwards instead of gaming. I was like wtf do you expect me to do? Have guests over the next day with dishes in the sink?
I came to learn that yes, this is in fact a thing people don’t care about; which is fine. You do you but also don’t judge my cleaning habits lol. He’s an amazing friend but that moment will always stick with me.
Let me elaborate for all those adulting experts out there: I have just eaten. I am feeling nice and fed. I am maybe even a bit sleepy, in a good way. I am trying to stay in that place. I am not getting up and doing the dishes right now just so future me has an easier time, that bitch can get fucked.
I only do it immediately when I have very few dishes. Like for breakfast I only use a knife, a spoon and a bowl, that gets washed immediately, or a plate and a knife for lunch. When I’ve cooked with multiple pans for dinner, I’ll do it the next day. But it’s still nice that there’s no pile-up of dishes for those little things, and it takes 30 seconds, so why not.
