Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
"magnets, bitch!"
How do they work?
Muthafuckin miracles.
there are some who call them... UnPassive?
...... FUCK
I'm gonna make a few of these before it gets cold in the shop
Just don't use your wife's cutting board, like I did. It had a big crack and I figured I was upcycling. She didn't notice it was the same and weeks later I got in trouble when she asked where the small cutting board was and I pointed at the butter dish 😅
I have mistaken the cat food knife for the butter knife more than once.
But you're sure it wasn't the poop knife? Like, 100% positive?
Yeah, we keep that one in the bathroom sink, not the kitchen sink.
Smart.
Hope the cat knows.
Don't be silly, the cat doesn't know how to use knives.
But if it was tuna you were having, no one would know!
This is the cooking equivalent of the chair of clothes you can still get one more wear out of

Having kids, this is also common practice for the inevitable "can I have one more??"
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.
You might invest in a countertop style RV dishwasher as well. Changed my life.
I used to make this mistake as well, I'd put a lightly dirty plate in the sink to wash later and then carelessly put a more greasy dish on top and eventually the oil from the greasy dish would fall on top of the lightly dirty one and contaminate it, so what used to be a quick wash now turns into a deep clean chore. I've started washing my dishes more frequently to prevent this
This guy dishes. Respect.
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.

Depends on whether knife was originally used for butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, marmite, marmalade, liver pate, or stool sample.
"hey, can you get me the poop knife?"
“I have a few more bits of poop”

This comment section has been a roller coaster and I wish that I hadn't read it.
Goddamnit. I stand accused before the court, and must plead guilty.
No crime has been committed, you are free to go.
I've known people who would be pleased by the desire to not make more dishes than necessary.
Me too, but I just leave the butter knife on a plate to begin with. Doesn't seem necessary to (almost) always get a new one
Are a couple of bits of toast a couple of slices of toast? How much toast does this madwoman eat?
It's actually 8 bits in a bite, with 12 bites to one slice of toast. She just wants him to tip the toaster over her open mouth and tap the bottom until she's had her fill of the crumbs. He's happy to be able to reuse the knife to tap the toaster.
tap the bottom until she’s had her fill
hello, appliance store? the toaster you sold me is a lil freaky
It's actually 8 bits in a bite
This is why gen z can’t learn computer science.
I had a friend once eat a piece of toast so large it took him 1024 bites to get through it. The papers called it "the massive bite."
Ross, if our lives ever go sideways and you find yourself needing a roommate, I think we would get along just fine.
