    There are plenty of people who prefer to handwash dishes as they use them, but you are the first person I've met who's said that they like doing dishes. You freak.

    I love dishwashers. Washing dishes is one of the worst chores.

    I wash dishes as I go. We've had a dishwasher in like two of our homes before and we never use it.

    I love my dishwasher <33
    But babe. I'm probably still going to wash dishes by hand sometimes because I like to. You can try and take them off me and put them in the dishwasher but I'll be like "Nuuuu!"

    I don't know why, it's a pain in the ass but it's nice. I get to look out the window and have a little sing song to myself while washing the dishes
    You could wash them, go outside and rub sand and poop all over them and then wash them again if you like. But when it's my turn to clean the kitchen they're going straight into the dishwasher and I'm using the time I saved to play vidya >:3

    Yeah, I do this too.
    Doesn't everyone do this?

    Not rinse, full on wash. She goes all out and makes sure the plates are spotless before putting them in the dishwasher.

    No, mowing the lawn in the summer time is. It takes an hour and a half in the direct, burning sunlight; I have to wear a hat to keep the sun out of my eyes and by the time I'm done, the hat is ruined from all of the sweat. For that matter, every chore is worse than washing dishes. Vacuuming? Check. Dusting? Check. Shoveling snow? Check. Talking to the general public? Check.

    Washing dishes takes all of five minutes (unless you let it pile up like an idiot instead of doing them as needed) and I do a much better job than any dishwasher ever invented.

    I dunno. I'd rather mow the lawn than shovel snow.

    I'll use a dishwasher - if I have one, that is - for large washes, but normally I just wash by hand as I use things. I'm rubbish at putting things away, though, so I'll often end up with a tower of clean dishes by the sink.

    I friggin hate washing dishes. I wish I had a dishwasher in this apartment!

    mowing a lawn isn't so bad. you can zone out and just listen to your own thoughts for a couple of hours, then dive into a pool (or the shower) when you're done.
    washing clothes is annoying when your washer and dryer aren't in the same building as you live, but I still prefer it to washing dishes

    Are you telling me your husband isn't using the dishwasher either? Man it's like I'm a time traveller when I post in this thread.

    Never had a dishwasher in my life. Probably won't ever get one. There's something vaguely therapeutic about washing dishes. xD

    Perhaps it's the relief of finally knowing your place as a woman and embracing it.
