people who put unwashed things on the WRONG SIDE of the sink.

[poachedeggs]

You know what I mean. Used teaspoons left on the draining board. Dirty plates dumped where clean ones will be going.

Just a general tea break AIBU to want to grab visitors who do this by the collar and scream "YOU FUUUUUUUUUUUCKWIIIIIIIIIIIIIT T! "in their face?

Doesn't bother me, as for the dishwasher only dishwasher I have is me!!!!!

Thank god! I thought it was just me who thought this was a dirty thing to do.

I don't want to kids touching the dishwasher and I load through out the day, so the rule it goes on the draining board, the plastics gets wiped as they come out of the dishwasher.

Mc - but you have a RULE - different to going to friends and leaving dirty bits on drainer

I have 2 sinks & 2 draining boards - the right hand draining board is for stacking dirty dishes, then they are washed in the right hand sink, rinsed in the right hand sink and drained on the left hand sink (unless they go in the dishwasher)

My own DPs do this and it drives me INSANE to the point of wondering if they are actually related to me at all.

I use my draining broad to drain baby cups and so on that either are hand washed or have to be drained after coming out of the dishwasher, and when my Dad dumps a dirty cup and spoon on top of them I really could explode.

Fortunately my PILs are more civilised although they do insist on putting their snotty tissues in my recycling bin in the kitchen, which I then have to empty, a whole new level of grossness.

Purple DH does that with the tissues does my head in

YAsoBNU!

stbXh used to leave his teaspoon on the counter. Just stir his coffee, take the spoon out, and put it down.

Every single time I went into the kitchen there'd be a dirty teaspoon, sitting in a tiny drop of coffee, just lying there next to the kettle.

It gave me rage I can't describe. I have a tiny kitchen, you have to walk past the dishwasher to get to the door FFS.

¿Don't you have a dishwasher?

Def NBU

I have no dishwasher. I have never had a dishwasher. :(

We do have a dishwasher, but have various family members who don't and think they need special training on how to load them. .

Also some plain lazy family members .

I leave the dirty stuff wherever there is space

DH always put non-dishwasherable items in the dishwasher. Oh it drives me mad, I practically race him to the dishwasher to retrieve things. But this morning found various plastic/that plasticy stuff I can't remember the name of and some pots.

YANBU we regularly visit a house where they have (left to right)

Dishwasher, draining area, sink, waste sink, draining area. It all goes horribly wrong when people dump stuff for the dishwasher between the dishwasher and sink. Then put big pots for the sink at the opposite end. I'm often left screaming to myself, where does the clean stuff go??

They should have had a central dirty dumping area. Dishwasher to one side, then on the other, waste sink, sink, draining area.

I'm also irritated by my dp who dumps cups, still containing coffee, into a bowl of clean washing up water. There's a drainage sink right beside.

Someone, vey dear to me, often visits and ignores my cries to just leave the plates and cups, I will put them in the dishwasher on the next cycle. They wash everything by hand, so it's stuck in a massive heap on the drainer. Then wait for the dishwasher to finish and unload it in massive piles onto my work surfaces.

They are very kind but don't save me any work, sometimes it creates more.

YANBU. My DH will spend ages stacking dirty stuff in the sink when he could have put it in the dishwasher in half the time - grrrrrrr
