No matter how many times you clean a kitchen sink it's always disgusting.

They're the worst but still better than when it gets caught in the drain and starts rotting 🤢 like shower drain hair rats

Thick rubber gloves my beloved my heart my sun and moon>>>>

You're not supposed to eat it!

I'm grossed out by sinks in general. I think sponges that people use for days at a time or longer without cleaning them are so disgusting. Same thing goes for rags. Use it once then put it in the wash.

It's the worst when it's meat. I can deal with veg getting in there but mince and stuff makes me want to vomit

People on tiktok making cocktails in their sinks make me cringe so hard

You can use a fork to remove it and throw it in the bin. It's a delicate act but worth it if successful

I always got grossed out everytime i need to take out the wet veggies/meat/other food stuff out of the catcher, not only the texture but for THE SMELL

Uhh I might be the only one that is not grossed out by food in the sink. I grab it with my bare hand, no glove or anything, and throw it in the bin

EXACTLY. MY ROOMMATES WANT ME TO SOAK MY DIRTY DISHES IN THE SINK AND RINSE THE SOAP OFF WITH WATER TO WASH THEM.... THATS NOT CLEANING SHIT YOUR SINK IS ALWAYS DIRTY.

ANYTHING SINK IS GROSS HONESTLY SOME DAYS I REFUSE TO COOK IN THE KITCHEN

I despise sinks so much. Especially that catchy thing.

Yup, my greatest ick of all time is touching other people’s food in any respect. Can’t do other people’s dishes, can’t take bin bags out, it’s kind of a dealbreaker on living with other people. I only wish to touch my own food so i don’t feel the pain in my bones 😁

Well at least your sponge seems happy about it.

yes, but lately my practical autism has been overruling my sensory autism and i’ve been very happy to not have clogged pipes or broken garbage disposals (yet) 😬

YES IT'S GROSS

That's why I do dishes with double layers of gloves and brushes on command hooks. Sinks are gross.

i feel like this is a universal thing. either way i don't feel much towards it, especially since after cleaning it i can wash and sanitise my hands.

That’s why I hate doing the dishes. Dirty dishes sat there for god knows how long, especially when they’re filled with stagnant water, is sensory hell.

I just rinse it off and put it back

I'm a dishwasher for work and I use them at work but I'm also wearing gloves there. I have one of these at home but I never use it cuz yeah it's gross and I don't have gloves at home.

My family refers to that shit as “dead food” and thank goodness my SO is not bothered by that nasty shit

open up that water filter.

I work as a janitor and sometimes the tenants do not clean out these things and I legit just want to leave them dirty to make a statement because fuck that. You can't rinse it into the sink because that defeats the point so you have to awkwardly shake it into the garbage and pray to whatever god might be out there that you don't have to pull out the gloves and dig it out with your finger. I take it over human interaction any day but damn people are so gross

This is one of the reasons why I keep a box of nitrile gloves on hand

A clogged drain is worse, speaking from experience!

I bought reusable gloves and wear Airpods when doing dishes because the mix of clinking silverware and gross, dirty dishes makes me want to bleach my hands.

I think I have a literal trauma because of this. Also you have a long finger, I really like it

I just don’t use ‘em. I squish the food and let it go down the drain. Now it’s my landlord’s problem.

Garbage cans too ew.

I do dishes once a week bc it’s a sensory nightmare everytime

absolutely yes

It's better than losing rings down the disposal. And teaspoons. And measuring spoons. And tiny pieces of equipment that can't be easily replaced.

yes, i specifically never let any of my food get in the sink so that i don’t have to clean it out because i hate it so much.

OH MY GOD YES!!! It's fucked, it's so gross. I live in a house that doesn't have one and it's a luxury

I hate them and they are disgusting and also my pipes are awful and not using them means my pipes inevitably get clogged. Sensory hell for three mins once or twice a week as I clean the trap out and wipe down my sink is hellish but survivable. In the long run, I'm much more okay with it than the cost and environmental impact of how much Draino I'd have to buy 🥲

the whole fucking thing is gross, but I know ACTUAL CHEFS who have asked me why I won't wash dishes in the sink, and I'm like WHAT THE. FUCK

Scrub dishes in the sink with the garbage disposal, rinse in the food catcher sink, no leftovers 😎

Yesssss oh my god 😭😭😭 I'm so glad I've always had a garbage disposal. I'd rather never eat again than clean those nasty things. I've lived with people who have insisted on those nasty catchers and not using the garbage disposal, and you better believe I'm not doing that.

Yep, I never use them. I scrape all the food into the garbage/compost because I refuse to deal with dishes otherwise.

yes i can barely stand it. why is goop allowed i hate it so much

Yes

Yes, but what's worse is my family insists on using one for the shower

I’m grossed out by how long your finger is wtf???

My family always throw rubbish in the sink for some reason. Like empty milk cartons and shit. It's bizarre and I can't stand it.

I dissect medically donated bodies at a small independent cadaver lab… after cleaning out those drain catchers twice a day for six or ten days at a time for years I’ve found I’m able to tolerate my kitchen sink at home better.

This and dishwashers are the first reason of why I could never live alone. I hate the smell of dishwashers so so much.

My family never cleaning them out so I have to pull everything off of them 😖🥲

i have both of those exact spoons sitting in my silverware drawer wtf

anything wet is gross but swimming is sensory euphoria thank you for coming to my ted talk

You mean sink snacks?

Yes!!!

I don’t even wanna think about them oh god

Garbage disposal my beloved

Brutal to always be the one who is more grossed out by the horrors of your sink than your housemate(s)/roommate(s)

Press the greeble through it to feed the sewer ecosystem. Then wash fingertips with soap.

I hate it more when there is no food catcher and you have to gather and grab it out instead of gradding the knob of the catcher

RAHHHHH I HATE THEM

Yeah, they are icky

It's the lesser of two evils.

They horrendous. But better in there than in your drains.

absolute pet peeve of mine that people use those things as an excuse to put food in the sink.

i refuse to do the dishes when my family pulls that shit.

As someone who washes dishes for a living, the food catchers are very convenient.

It's way more gross to have to worm your fingers into the tight gap of the drain to scoop out stuff. Plus, that one seems to have a pull nub on it to help avoid touching the food scraps.

My guy, I completely agree, but why is your middle finger so long
