I have different but related issues because I wash dishes by hand.
Sink dishes are different levels of dirty. Mixing them is like stabbing me in the dick. Such as a burger frying pan that contaminate tupperware with oil.
Stacking dishes unnecessarily when there's counter space. It takes less space but the underside of the plates becomes very dirty sometimes and instead of it being "wipe of oily hand stuff" quick wipe it's a full clean.
Soup pot - > tupperware - > soup pot reheat is a complete waste of time if you don't need the pot. You should eat the leftovers first anyway. Just shove the whole pot in the fridge.
Eggs contaminate dishes very fast and smell even though they look clean, it's best to keep them separate until washing and then double wash.
When I'm washing dishes nobody should dare putting stuff in the sink. The sink is my workspace and filling it up will both make dishes below dirtier and make it harder refresh the water on the bottom. Some cases I can keep the sink cleanish by rinsing off initial grime directly onto the grated drain and then it's just a quick wash to get a clean sink.
There are probably more but those are from the top of my head in the category "making shit dirty for no reason" that feels like a kick in the nuts when people are trying to help but just create more work. A lot of these make no difference when there's a dishwasher though.
This seems like a volume problem. How many dishes are you washing at a time? I do the dishes after every meal so it's never a lot at once.
I pretty much wash as needed.
Need a fork? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need a bowl? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need more room in sink? Take stuff out of sink and wash until there's room
Works pretty well. Never really have a big stack up in the sink. Throws me off when guests come over and just grab stuff out of the cabinets and drawers like normal people, though.
omg when you’re hungry you have to do dishes first?
Just one dish and one fork, typically. Sometimes the rice cooker.
Ever fill the rice cooker with soapy water immediately after emptying it? Love when time works for me
