To think this is unhygienic and annoying?

[TrinidadQueen]

Sink is filled up with fresh water ready to do a round of washing up.
Someone comes along and drains pasta cooking water into the sink.

Please note this is lighthearted only!

I do it all the time and have to start over again lol

Very annoying. Another one - doing the dishes and leaving the bowl full of dirty dish water and food remnants in the sink 🤢

LTB

No one wants starchy pasta residue on their glasses!

Annoying
But you shouldn’t have filled the sink with water until the pasta had been drained
Rookie timing mistake

Or buy a washing up bowl . I know it's radical as hell, but mine matches my kitchen and I wash/ wipe it down after use.

Washing up bowl.

What's worse is a bowl of washing up water left to go cold and people (I'm looking at you colleagues)
just dump their empty mug in it. Then someone, usually me has to fish out the mugs from the icky cold water to fill the bowl with hot soapy water to wash them. Now that is also disgusting.

Not unhygienic but definitely annoying. Nobody wants to wash up in a bowl of starch

The number of times I have told my family this, but do they listen? I cannot stand having to fish dirty dishes and cutlery out of cold, slimy dishwater with unidentified lumps of god knows what floating in it. Yuk.

Buy a dishwasher.
There.
Sorted that problem for you.

I can't see the problem,everything is rinsed anyway

Yeah it's a bit minging. Those tiny little side sinks are good for this sort of predicament though.

Single sinks are annoying and impractical. Double sinks should be standard in kitchens. [gavel]

We have two sinks but this still happens so fecking annoying . Yanbu

I use a washing up bowl so I don't chip gĺass or china. I only put saucepans in the sink to wash.

@insancerre Oooh very good point. I voted YANBU but you've swayed me haha.

OP, did you leave the dishes to "soak"? If so, YABU I'm afraid and should have washed up sooner. If not, YABU because why are you washing up when you should be eating the pasta?

This is why we wash up under a running tap. Clean and better way to do it.

Doesn't matter if you rinse the washing up in clean water afterwards.

Get a dishwasher. You'll never look back

Put your soapy water into their pasta next time. But if its yours too then better not.

Was there anywhere else to drain the pasta water into?

Dishwasher aren't practical if you live alone , because I would need to use all of my dishes to fill it up . Not very cost effective in that case, plus I don't have room in my kitchen.

Were you literally about to wash up?!

Because my pet peeve is people who leave water in the sink and then people drop washing up in there and it gets like a stagnant canal.

Oh no! I got a table top for my flat 3 years ago. I love it. Wish I had room for a half size one. I adore it. Like having a maid.
