Dig licking plates before going into dishwasher - ick or not

Oh I just read your update that she encourages the dog to lick her children's faces <puke>
She has no legs to stand on with the dishes being licked pre-dishwasher. Is she not very bright or does she just not think things through?

I have my own cutlery and my own cup and plate in my parents house.

There is no way I'm sharing a fork with my chain smoking brother!

Would you be out off by :-
Humans licking plates- some may have diseases.
Humans blowing noses and putting snotty tissues on plate.
Seagulls shitting on plates.
People preparing food without washing their hands, after using the loo, picking their nose etc
Do you eat out? If so you don’t know half!

Grim as, sorry OP. It would give me serious ick about your house generally

Share? As in use in conjunction with the dog at the same time, as one spoonful for you, next one for dog and so on
Or share? As in you have same utensils but not at same time

ummm I think the colonoscope thing was a joke

Good point.

The correct procedure is to ensure separation from the knives and forks. As in the Miele dishwasher manual - precisely lined-up knives, forks and spoons, all separate, and orderly. One’s dirty knickers go at the back, in the section provided. You really should read the manual.

I bet the Pope would disapprove of your disgusting habit!! 🐕 🍽

My dog always licks the stuff in the dishwasher while we're loading it.
We call him the pre rinse.
Haven't died yet

Dog prewash cycle!

It would be gross if it wasn’t then being washed. But it is. So it’s just an ‘I don’t like it even though logically there’s nothing wrong with it’ thing.

Yes I agree there. I would have just made excuses in future to not eat or drink at your house. Though one of the children might of told on me at some point.

Same as I don’t have dinner at a family members because their cooking is dire.

Yes, there was a baker when I worked in Tesco who was always adjacent to the right side of hygiene. No one I spoke to who worked in that store would buy in-store bakery produce. I also saw a butcher leaving the washroom without washing their hands and it made me feel rather queasy.

My dog licks my plates , saucepans etc
they all get washed afterwards . Now I have a dishwasher I even put his bowls and the cat bowls in with my dishes !
never occurred to me that some might think this is gross !

So did you when you put the cutlery in your mouth.. or licked the plate (I know some people do).

If we overthink things too much, what about things such as door handles, your food shop, cafe and restaurant condiments etc - we have no idea who’s touched these things before us. Could have been a random person who hasn’t washed their hands after wiping their bums, so has transferred faeces or similar onto a surface that we then touch. I read somewhere that door handles have more germs on them than a toilet seat. I think the fact the OP announced it to her guests is the problem here, otherwise they would have been happily oblivious to it.

Whether she thinks it's grim or not her hissy fit was unnecessary and rude. She could just have made a mental note to make an excuse around food next time, but instead she threw a temper tantrum and was disrespectful to the op

If we look at it realistically …

We go to restaurants and put cutlery in our mouth without knowing whose mouth it’s been in and what has been in that mouth ! Same as at home . We don’t have our set cutlery .

So , I don’t think it’s “ disgusting “ or as dramatic as your daughter made it . It’s going into a dishwasher . But - personally , I wouldn’t like to see it. It probably would put me off if I saw it . The idea of every plate being licked would make me feel a bit icky . If i found out it happened and didn’t see it then maybe it wouldn’t be as bad .

I wouldn’t ever let my dog do that - for a start , I don’t have a dishwasher , so hand wash , but I wouldn’t let him lick every plate , I would just feel that it’s kind of behaviour I wouldn’t want my dog to get into , we put leftovers in a bowl for him but I want him to know our plates are off limits ( we never feed him from our plate ) .

Nothing wrong with it but then I happily share my spoon or fork with my dogs.

Nobody in my household is ever sick.

Lots of things are gross without being the least bit dangerous, how is this so hard to understand? A taxi driver doing a stinky fart would be gross, but not dangerous. A waiter picking their nose and wiping their finger on a Clinell wipe ditto. Dogs licking humans' plates ditto.

Or pug. I had a pug owner tell me that they are not capable of reaching their own arse.

I agree. I worked in a supermarket years ago and the boys who worked on the meat counter and bakery counter were notorious for not washing their hands after using the toilet. Nobody who worked in the supermarket bought from the fresh counters for this reason, and in the cafe they would take out the grimy rubbish and just went back to serving food without washing their hands.

There are worse things than a dog licking your plate!

It's even more gross that the OP says that the dog has "pre washed" the plates.

Eh no. Your dog has just added loads of bacteria

Oh I see what you mean - sorry. Yes, you were making a distinction. I thought you were saying they needed to be sterile, sorry.
