#and dude every roommate relationship I've watched fall apart in real time fractured over the fault line that is The Dishes

[bread-tab]

also dishes legitimately suck sometimes. when else are you going to smear waterlogged food on your hands, or go fishing through a puddle for a greasy knife?

just because it's a task most people see as trivial doesn't mean it's actually easy. these things are subjective. if you're struggling with something that's supposed to be simple then there's probably a reason. treating that reason as invalid isn't going to fix it

so like, yeah, don't let "doing the dishes" turn into some big scary demon that rains terror over your life, but do go ahead and acknowledge it as a gross little soapy monster with bitey fork teeth, if that's what it is to you

The fact that dishes feel like The Horrors but literally take less than fifteen minutes is a personal insult to me
