Low-pitched gurgling noises

You don't have gloves?

OP uses mittens. Knitted mittens.
- They’re easier to suck clean.
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.

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.

just wash your hands afterwards, what's the issue?

The texture of that top layer film
- you wash it off it's not that hard
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

laughs in european sinks *

Explain
- Euro sink
- 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.

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"

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.

Or alternatively just wash your hands when you're done and don't waste a shit ton of water for no reason except your privileged concepts of "grossness"

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.
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
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

Use a steel rod just for that if you don't have one BUY ONE it's worth it .

or just buy a pair of long rubber gloves
- But i will still eww when i feel those things tho

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.

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 🤢

Skin is natures gloves

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?

A dishwasher?

i washed dishes at a pizza joint, this would always make me gag
