Person A puts things in the sink, as dishwasher is on, at some point water from various sources (cooking, tumble drier, rinsing a bowl out) was put into sink and a mug was filled at some point with water from some source.

Person B needs to take paracetamol,and decides to drink the water in the mug in the sink.

Person B starts gagging and making wretching noises and asks Person A what is in the mug, and implies that Person A shouldn't have left that water in the mug.

Person A thinks that Person B shouldn't have drunk random sink water,and should have used the glasses and fresh tap water right next to the sink.

So, was Person A wrong to leave the random water in the mug. Or was Person B wrong to drink the random water and then blame person A for being "poisoned".

@VeganCheesePlease

Person B is a hallion for drinking sink water!!
I hate to Google "hallion" as I've never seen that word before and it says "a worthless or contemptible person" Seems a bit strong. Personally, I'd have just said the OP's son is very silly to have done that.

Person B is bonkers for drinking random sink water 🤢

@1forAll74

Everyone is lazy.Person A , for not being able to wash a few pots, just because a dishwasher is on, and person B, for not being able to wash a few things up either, and drinks from a used cup or glass. I have actually known a few cases, when people have left a couple of teaspoons on the side, when a dishwasher is on, to put in the dishwasher , the next time it is used.. madness madness.

i don't have a dishwasher !

Don’t be so stupid. The whole point of having a dishwasher is to use it. If you wash up every item singularly you might as well get rid of it!

Person B is an idiot.

So we've all established your sons a plonker but OP... putting things in the SINK that need to go in the dishwasher once it's empty is the most frustrating thing ever.

Please leave your things next to the sink!

person b is disgusting. i would never drink a random mug of liquid that had stayed in the sink, not exactly hard to empty cup, swill and refill.

....

i mean wtf!!

HTH1 · 30/10/2021 18:22

Agree that Person B is an idiot!

Fraine · 30/10/2021 18:27

Has anyone mentioned the fat ball thread yet? 🤣

Flavabobble · 30/10/2021 18:42

If the person B's in my house did that I'd openly laugh at them.

LimitIsUp · 30/10/2021 19:35

Person B sounds like my dh

Not to mention the impact on the environment of washing things individually over the course of the day.

Person B is clearly to blame.

No, it's her 17 year old son.
Poetnojo · 30/10/2021 22:54

B obviously

Mistressofnone · 30/10/2021 23:20

Person B is unreasonable but I'm pleased it's your son learning the ways of domestic life with your guidance, and not his poor future spouse who has to pick up the slack Grin

NellePorter · 30/10/2021 23:23

Putting things in the sink is one of my pet peeves but in this instance Person B is off their rocker!

Veryverycalmnow · 30/10/2021 23:28

B is a dirty dish water drinking douche

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 31/10/2021 00:08
