At some point it's got to be easier to get it over with and just do the damn dishes. (sh.itjust.works)

I'm surprised you still have a clean spoon too, unless that's a fork '-'

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It is a spoon, and you're not wrong to be surprised... but I had to wash it first.

Uh... that's been me. With Special K, Red Berries no less. I'm not too proud to admit it.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yup. I filled it back up with a bunch more freeze dried strawberries and bananas when this was empty and had another "bowl". Wouldn't want to waste a clean dish.

I once bought new pants instead of having to do laundry

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Completely justifiable if you ask me.

My strategy (especially since I got married) is to just have a single plate and a single bowl. These get washed/rinsed whenever I want to put food in them (I do discard visible waste after a meal). It's helped me both in terms of not having a pile of dishes that scares me and in terms of not getting stuck in analysis paralysis if all the dishes are dirty and I'm hungry. I actually have a visually distinct plate I use and try my best to never use a different plate to eat. I'd recommend giving it a try.
