To think these domestic things make sense and I’m not being lazy?

@Seaside3 OP has told us that she snaps the ends off because they can be grotty - they aren’t going back into her mouth.

@heymammy

that would be interesting with a trolley instead!!😂😂

Vegetables, especially carrots, cook faster if they are sliced or chopped, and if you can snap off the end of a carrot it can't be fresh. I don't have a dishwasher, but if I did I would still put everything away. Putting clothes away takes seconds, and I have far too many to keep them all on a clothes airer anyway. I'm no domestic godess, but I couldn't live like this.

@RawBloomers it's time saving? And we'll, if its just going back into your mouth, why not?

Sorry op that is just dirty and lazy. There's no logic to that.

Pp tips her basket out, not her trolley 😂

Gross. Odd that you would think that’s at all comparable to what OP has described.

I don’t think I can say anything that hasn’t already been covered.

Mixing clean and dirty pots is bloody disgusting. Also different meals require different sizes of pots, pans & utensils, I couldn’t fit every kitchen item I own in a dishwasher for it to live in there, this also means you are repeatedly and un-nessisarily re-washing items that may not have even been used depending on the meal. Not much would put me off food / eating at peoples houses but knowing you do this I’d avoid eating at yours like the plague!

I agree with others, if you can snap the very ends of the thick end of a carrot they should probably have been binned weeks ago. Diced carrots will cook a lot quicker than cooking a whole large carrot thus saving energy.

The clothes thing baffles me in that 2 airers would not hold all the washing owned so you’d have to remove and put some away at least to dry the next load but if all your stuff fits theres no real issue I guess but it is pretty lazy.

Depends whether you like to look at dirty plates stacked on the sides

And unless you cook the same things every day you use different pots and utensils and they wouldn't all fit

@GhoulWithADragonTattoo

she says she doesn't have many clothes, so I assume she's pretty much worn them all before she does the next load of washing.

@dellay

it wouldn't work for me. I wouldn't like the airer up all the time & I line dry outside most of the time...neighbours don't need to see my bare arse going outside for todays pants!! 😂

I don't have a dish washer, but what you do is why a lot of people have the two drawers or two dishwasher. I'd prefer to just empty it so I could more easily just shove things in during the day, I couldn't be bothered with the faff of checking what's clean & what's not, plus moving things around to make clean & dirty sides.

Maybe we could all just bite the tops off our raw carrots? Maybe chomp the carrots and spit into the pan?

@lalaloopyhead I actually can't stop laughing at this - the idea of dead pan emptying your Tesco trolley onto a conveyor belt, like the America garbage trucks empty their loads, in front of bemused shoppers and cashiers 👀

To be fair, if I lived alone, I'd probably use the clean throughout the day and then refill with dirty after tea.... just wouldn't work with a family of 4.

Washing is also never ending with a toddler in the mix so space on the maiden is in short supply so leaving it wouldn't work for me.

Veg - I'll generally have to chop something while cooking so it's just as easy to chop heads off carrots so don't really get that logic the way I can sort of get your thought process with the others.

I just use Scan & Shop

Only goes in the bag once...

I mostly only cook carrots in soup. I don't think people would like to spoon a whole carrot out of their bowl of soup.

As an aside, is anyone else getting this "bent carrot" ad? Well played, MN.

Well I have never ever heard of anyone doing what you do.

Ever

I mean if you're doing this, why bother expending the energy snapping the end off? Just cut it off when it's on your plate 🤷🏼‍♀️

This has really made me laugh - cheers op and the Popeye commentator

And yes these are lazy and also weird, it's like those met Dan videos of ' life hacks' that aren't helpful or needed - brilliant

Yes that is lazy and I say that as someone who is pretty lazy themselves 😂

Two dishwashers is the answer imo. Had it in a work kitchen/common room once, laminated notice for clean or dirty. Take something out of the clean one, use it then put in the dirty one. Obvs notices swapped over once dirty one had been filled up/put on.

Carrot thing is weird but your dishwasher thing is unsanitary imo.

seriously..its your house.do what suits you.
no right wrong. clean ,fed= all good
asking gony cause sniders tho.

I'm all for the easy approach but these actually sound harder work to me.
Carrots couldn't bend them by hand, easier to chop.

Dishwasher - dirty drips on to clean plates. No thank you.

I do know someone with 2 dishwashers - one clean, one dirty which seems a good idea if you have space.

Clothes - I do sometimes have a pile of clean clothes taken off the washing line on top of the ottoman and don't always get round to putting them away but wouldn't like leaving them on the airer/line. I don't bother ironing.

It sounds incredibly wasteful to me. Wasting food, wasting water and wasting energy.

If you used the dishwasher normally you wouldn’t have to run it every night. And having clean and dirty stuff in together then using the “clean” stuff that’s been dripped on is vile

She has said nothing about the toilet, so don't jump to conclusions.

She is clean - she uses her dishwasher and she cleans her clothes.

What?? 🤣🤣 I think I'm going to try this just to see what happens....
