Friend washed up the dog bowl with our dinner plates

[23snowisfalling]

This happened a few months ago but has just came up in conversation IRL.

Went round a friends casually for some dinner. As she put our plates & cutlery in the washing up bowl she also put the dog's dinner bowl in there and washed it up together with the SAME sponge.

I do laugh at this now, but at the time I was like 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳.

AIBU to think is this absolutely disgusting?!

I am lucky to have a utility room with sink so dog bowls get cleaned in there (along with football boots and other messy things). But if I didn’t have that, I’d obviously wash them in the kitchen sink after washing everything else. I’d probably use a different sponge.

What is all this about dogs licking their arses? I know cats do. Our two do it all the fecking time- but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen my dog lick his arse- I don’t think he can reach! He often rolls in fox shit though so he is disgusting generally, I’m not defending him.

How fucking bougie of you.

You do realise that plenty of us have no choice but to wash dishes and pet bowls in the same sink and we're all perfectly fine?

Irish parents?
Wtf?

I feed my dog raw food out of a stainless steel bowl. I pour a whole kettle of boiling hot water into bowl after each use and scrub with separate brush. I don't have a dishwasher. I never get ill. Hot water from kettle will kill all germs. I wouldn't put the bowl in the basin with my cutlery and crockery. My dog doesn't eat other animals' waste, isn't that a sign of malnutrition?

i'm sure the dog will be ok

Strange, that was my response when I opened your absolutely bonkers thread

Is it really common to have Irish and Caribbean ancestry? And if so, you are genetically predisposed to suing separate washing up sponges?

@RachelSTG this is it 👌

Irish parents have strict rules about hygiene.

Okay. The rest of us are just sluts, then?

Sorry meant to quote this too

What. The. Fuck.

I sometimes feed my dog in a cereal bowl, when his bowl’s in the dishwasher, haven’t died yet 😂

Using! Not suing! 😀

Love the typo!

Ha! Wish someone would have told my family that

Is it really common to have Irish and Caribbean ancestry?

Im not talking about ancestry. Im talking about being brought up by born and bred Irish/Caribbean parents.

Those that know, know.

Hah - you haven't been to my parents' house!

Cats on the counters, cats on the table...their plates definitely go in the dishwasher with the rest.

Ours dogs actually eat in the kitchen. Then the bowls go in the dishwasher.

I read once that dog food is nutritionally complete for humans. I don't understand your boggle really. It's just washing up.

I’d never heard of a washing up bowl until I came to the UK.

I have a separate sponge (and separate washing liquid which is organic with natural ingredients 😳) for my cat’s dishes and will put them in the dishwasher once a week.

Oh goody...a competitive cleanliness thread.
Such an interesting topic. Really separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of value as a person.
Crack on ladies.

Oh god no. Pet bowls get washed separately, they have their own sponge and tea towel and then the sink gets bleached afterwards.

I dont let any pet lick faces or hands, or sleep in human beds

@pictoosh thanks for reading 😉
