Porsche with a $60k+ paint to sample might disagree with you.

Good one for this thread, because people are gross and it's better than the nasty ****ers who take a dump in a public restroom and walk straight out.But yeah, sometimes I'll do what feels like a nice thorough ~20 second wash, and feel all self-conscious because the guy at the sink next to me is was there for a minute before I was, and is still there when I leave. Like are you

I find it really creepy


I moved into my current house 8 years ago. All new appliances. Other than as a drying rack for hand washed dishes, I have never used the dishwasher.

Having purchased a fancy new food processor, I wanted to wash all the bits and blades before using. Not wanting to slice my hands open on all the sharp stuff, I had the brilliant idea of running it in the dishwasher.

The damn thing doesn’t work. At all.


Use it or lose it.

I thought I needed to replace my dishwasher a couple of years ago. The more I looked into it, the more of a job it looked like it was going to be. Fortunately I found a workaround for the issue I was having. I hope it's enough of a band-aid to become a problem for the next owner.

That may have been good luck on your part. I haven't used my dishwasher in over 30 years. When I had a plumber over for something else, I asked him if it would be okay to use the dishwasher. He said there was a gasket that would have dried out, and it would probably leak all over the place.


Are you sure there isn’t a switch or breaker flipped? Honestly might not even be plugged in.

That said, Canceler is probably right about the gasket.


A real man washes his own dishes...

in his own creek!


I had a ressie at The Henry for brekkie and the eggy bennies were delish.

Dently we have too many syllies in our vocab. Cept for eggs.


Also mostly hand-wash, as I have so few dishes/pans after a meal. I've been told what Canceler mentions, so I try to find an excuse every few months to run the dw to keep things working.


Do y'all non-dishwasher weirdos all live alone/never cook real food/etc? I'd ****ing commit seppuku if I had to hand wash everything.

I mean I get it if you don't have one and you gotta do what you gotta do, but having one and having never touched it or not run it in 30 years feels ****ing weird.


Generally takes < 3 minutes to wash the few pieces I use after a meal. That said, I'm the opposite of a chef or cook; no fancy meals for me. Meat & potatoes kinda cooking (quite literally tonight, as I slow-cookered some beef and taters the other, finishing the leftovers).

real men from round these parts say crick like the type you might get in your neck if you keep speaking like that
next question: what does the word rig mean to you

Spoiler
Show

around here rig refers to the vehicle you drive to the crick which is a beautiful flowing body of water only found in the same places as the courage to travel outside your comfort

instant nostalgia for how grandma used to explain away her specific choice of breakfast because of poor fitting teeth and shi!tty health care

Some days I have cereal, and later a sandwich on a paper plate or I go out to eat.
A dish washer would get about as much use as my oven which I have never used
in 8+ years at the house.


People with a perfectly good oven not making cookies.


That reminds me, I should do an oven cleaning.

Not making cookies though. Not a sweets person.

does the bulldog eat out of stainless steel?

upstairs in the cabinet, i have a cup and plate (sadly broke the bowl a few years ago) that i purchased at goodwill over three decades ago when i first moved out for college


Yeah, life's easier if you don't mind plain.

My plates were obtained when the restaurant in the building next door to where I worked closed, due to the building being scheduled for demolition. Had to be > 30 years ago, they're fine. Plain white plates.

Silverware is what Mom gave me when I moved out on my own. I get that's where I got a lot of the containers for leftovers too.

What's a leftover?


!bacon


I used to say that I didn't eat leftovers, but there are about a half-dozen things I actually will eat as leftovers.

What other people call leftovers, I call food waste or cat treats.


This verse from Alice Cooper's School's Out used to piss me off because it didn't rhyme

Well we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Then I realized, Oh, that is his point!

Now I am pissed it took me years to figure that out


That is a nice one, john!
