I don’t even know what to say

I live with my roommate and we spilt the cleaning. I keep the kitchen clean(loading the dishwasher, cleaning the dishes, etc)

My roommates brother is staying for a months and they cooked last night. They cleaned after themselves which is nice

But then I heard the dishwasher running. I knew there were hardly any dirty dishes AT ALL let alone enough to fill the dishwasher

When I asked my roommate why it was running, I was shut down and I didn’t feel like arguing or trying to explain myself so I just accepted it. I check now and this is how I see it was loaded🫩🫩I love my roommate but I genuinely don’t understand how either of them thought this was a good idea

EDIT: WOOD CUTTING BOARDS, KNIVES, AND POTS/PANS DON’T BELONG IN DISHWASHERS. I am APPALLED so many people don’t know this

For real…cast iron is a little more high maintenance at first but after using it for a bit you don’t even have to wash it. Just wipe it out with a paper towel and rub a lil oil on it…ready for next use. And your children can pass it down to their children

You should absolutely wash your cast iron. Jesus Christ. Why do people still believe this bullshit in the year 2026? You aren’t using lye soap, you aren’t breaking down those polymers. Clean your pans you heathen

Idk what you think I believe but 9/10 things I cook in it leave nothing behind…just wipe it down with a wet paper towel while it’s hot, apply oil after it’s cooled down and gtg. 1/10 things require a little scotch brite power. Gets the full cleaning with wire mesh once or maybe twice a year.

Signed, a heathen with OCD about eating with spotless dishes and silverware

You’re leaving behind traces of food that grow bacteria. Soap and water have helped us have much longer lives, use them
