Really weird stuff people do that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Yes, I only have a single sink and can tip away dregs down the side if I need to. Usually I've thrown them outside on the garden (or given them to the dog to lick up, but don't tell some of the germphobics on here that my dog licks the plates before I wash up or I might be lynched or something).

It is also handy for still being able to throw any dregs/leftover tea/water/juice etc down the side of the bowl if you have forgotten to do so before filling the sink with hot soapy water.
(We have another smaller sink so not important for us, but I washed up at my daughter's place recently and faced that issue).
I have always used a washing up bowl and it feels very odd not to!

It's for kids.
I now live in a country that doesn't even have squash.

I'm lolling at this!

Loads of people still don't have a double sink!

Well it's just that if you switch the fridge and freezer off your food will go bad so no choice really.

I don't see either as weird. I live alone so if I am doing something or in a situation where I prefer not to answer the door then I don't...and as @Gwenhwyfar says, if I don't know the number it will be spam or someone trying to get me to have a smart meter.

A number I don't recognise will be spam.

oh I know folk who add milk, also those who don't. I prefer not to.

the bits are called chalazae and are cords that hold the yolk in the middle of the egg. I fish them out with a bit of egg shell before I cook the egg. https://www.sites.ext.vt.edu/virtualfarm/poultry/poultry_eggparts.html#:~:text=In%20a%20fresh%20egg%2C%20we,the%20center%20of%20the%20egg.

The sieving the eggs before cooking them is weird. Sorry, but if you get white bits in the cooked egg you're not cooking it properly.

I think I’m more surprised not by people putting or not putting milk in scrambled eggs but by people being wildly shocked that anyone does it differently! All this “I’ve never, ever in my life heard of anyone adding milk!!” Really?? Where have you been?

no I am not, its in small pieces in a creamy binding "sauce", not a whole item with a set exterior and a baveuse interior.

Mushrooms that come clean enough to just cook are a relatively (well to me, I am 70) new thing. Mushrooms used to come with actual compost on and needed washing or peeling if you didn't want a gobful of grit or earth. Actually its only about a month ago that I bought mushrooms in waitrose that had growing medium on which needed removing before they were cooked, but I think that was an oversight and not usual. Washing does tend to make mushrooms soggy and the usual advice to "wipe with damp cloth or a kitchen towel" is a real faff, so you used to generally peel.

Oh God, I could not be bothered. Ever. Mine only come out from under the counter when they are broken and I need a new one. Not even when I move house do they come out.
I have a friend who has all those and the fridge and her cooker on wheels. She pulls everything out every week to clean behind.

I guess if something had died behind an electrical item, I'd pull it out to clean then. But otherwise, nope, not bothered.

For all those who's scrambled eggs involve no milk, you are eating omelette.

She doesn’t even go to the supermarket for her twice weekly shopping, she orders online for delivery. She then gets her husband to buy the salad on the other day she has it as part of a main meal.

She was one of those people who put her shopping into “quarantine” for at least 3 days during Covid and also her post; she even bought some American wash thing for her fruit and vegetables!!

I can’t see that it’s odd not to do a weekly shop. I hardly ever do now (older with more time) so will walk 15 or 25 minutes to a supermarket to get enough for the next 2-3 days - and get the bus back - it’s a steepish uphill walk back. I only take the car if I know I’m going to have a lot of heavy shopping, which is not often now.

I don't get any white stringy bits ever and am v confused by this.

My dH adds milk to make it 'silkier' but not me.

Oh my dad does that- goes to the supermarket 5/6 times a week.

He grew up very poor, where feeding everyone was a stress.

He said his goal in life when he was young was to be able to walk into a food shop and buy anything and everything he fancied eating without any worry.

So even though he made it there decades ago, it still makes him happy to do it.

My Dm used to do similar - getting all the ‘bits’ out of any egg before using. She was very squeamish, and didn’t like ‘eggy’ eggs anyway 😂 - though we never did find out exactly what made any egg ‘eggy’.

But you are drying clean hands, the same hands that will touch the dishes. So to extrapolate out you shouldn’t touch dishes with your hands.

I have a friend who eats sandwiches with a knife and fork - at home, even when she’s made it herself. She also never buys the components of a salad and makes one herself, she buys tubs of prepared salad at least 3 times a week. Lastly, she doesn’t do a weekly shop but will only buy for the next 3-4 days so has 2 supermarket deliveries a week. She isn’t rural or a long way from the nearest supermarket, it’s less than 5 minutes walk from her house; nor does she have issues with storage such as no freezer, quite the opposite, it’s permanently almost empty.

I do this - because I have 5 year old twins and wouldn’t put it past them to turn the hob rings on when there’s something sat on the top of the cooker.
