Ask Lemmy

I have a related peeve.

Dishwashers are not dish storage. When the machine is done, you put the fucking dishes away.

Sinks are not dirty dish storage. You put the dirties in the fucking dishwasher so that your sink is fucking clean. The sink is where you either wash things, or get your fresh water. There is no good reason for your fucking nasty ass dishes to be sitting in there for hours or (worse) days. Don't put your fucking milk glass in there with water up grow fucking bacterial cultures. Wash the fucking thing, or put it in the dishwasher.

Lazy motherfuckers fucking up my sink will get a blast of hell so fucking hot, it cooks their bowels. Jesus fucking Christ, were you motherfuckers raised in a fucking garbage dump? What the actual fuck?

Out of anywhere in the fucking kitchen to keep fucking spotless it's the fridge and the sink. You don't shit where you get your water, and you don't piss where you store your food. Fucking barbarians.

You feeling bad today? Sorry, me too, my crippled ass isn't going to fucking wash your shit again, get the fuck back in the fucking kitchen and handle shit.

I swear to fucking gods, people are fucking nasty. I've dumped three gorgeous women because they just couldn't understand that keeping a clean kitchen is central to good health and a well run home. And a clean kitchen is centered around not letting food rot and grow shit!.

Back years ago, my and my best friend lived together, and we kept shit right. Every fucking time we'd try and get extra roommates to control costs, that shit is what kept it from working. Motherfuckers gonna leave shit sitting in my pristine sink I just fucking scrubbed and not think they're getting booted. My hairy, chapped ass

I hate that thing where you spend time dusting all over and then a few days later there's already dust all over again

I often struggle to figure out what products or chemicals work well for cleaning certain things. Anytime I search Google, everything is just "baking soda or vinegar" which never works for fucking shit.

People who are way too lax with washing crockery and cutlery, including not rinsing off the suds

Unpopular opinion maybe, but my peeve is when men stand to pee. It gets everywhere and is so disgusting. Every weekend when I’m bleaching the walls and everything in the “splash zone” it irks me that guys won’t also just sit to pee.

@ericbomb had roommates in college to whom mopping was just rearranging dirt on the floor.

Step 1. Get the mop wet in the bucket
Step 2. Mop the entire first floor
Step 3. Move to the next floor

No rinsing, no emptying/refilling the bucket (because hey, it never got dirty!). All grime just got wiped up, and moved around to the kitchen, living room, entryway, hallways etc. God forbid we had a party and beer got spilled in the basement. I'd be smelling it upstairs by the bedroom for weeks.

That my family will never have any conception of cleaning as you go. They're like that episode of Futurama where Fry had to teach everyone how to litter.

Gravity. Why does everything fall on the floor?

The lack of cleaning, really. When someone makes a mess and just leaves it. I live in a small apartment with 2 other people, and those other two people are slobs. I am the only one who ever cleans up anything in this damn place. 😡 FFS, it's so small there is no reason, even laziness, to justify not throwing away your garbage when there is a trash can within reach of your chair.

Clean clothes are folded! I will not put clothes away that aren't folded. I even attempt to fold my wife's underwear.

A cup used once for water. Come on guys!

Visiting a friend's house.

Him: you want some espresso?

His espresso machine:

No, dude. I don't want dysentery, thank you very much. Clean your machines after every use. The product it makes is a foodstuffs! Blech!

You have no idea what passive voice means.

But I have gotten into trouble for dishwashing habits. My wife lives 70 miles away, which is probably why she hasn't strangled me over the last 15 years.

I'm totally guilty of using the dishwasher for storage. She and my (adult) kids have chewed me out for this. "But I was going to put away," followed by a kick in the ass .

she is a "Empty the sink" kind of person.

What does this mean?

There'd better not be dishes in the sink and Laundry left in the dryer 2 days later
