how do you handle this?

dirty dishes at a friend's house.

 This has happened to me twice recently had two different friends' houses.  first I was handed a wine glass that had lip smudges on it, my friend noticed me looking at it weird and said "oh just grab a different one from the cabinet".  two other glasses in the cabinet were the same way so I just washed the first one.

next, eating dinner my knife was caked with old food.  I just didn't use it.

the first situation I think happened because they let their 8 year old wash the dishes.  the second one I think is just a bad dishwasher.

it's gross but I feel bad.

Re: how do you handle this?

  • That's happened to me.  I just say something like, "I think I need a different fork."

    It's weird, though. We use the dishwasher gel packs and sometimes I find them still in the basket after the cycle, so I'm anal about checking the quality of the washing job before I put the dishes away.

  • I'm bad about checking the dishes when I put them away.  I am sure this surprises you since I have a reputation for being such a clean freak.

    We've had the problem where the little pack didn't burst a couple times.  When I finish the bunch I have, I plan on going to just regular detergent.  I was just talking with my mom about how those packs have too much detergent in them anyway, and it's bad for your dishes and your machine.

  • Uggghhhhh. That's one of my insta-gag triggers. I inspect everything as I pull it out of the dishwasher so this sort of thing won't happen. They let the kid do the dishes before a party? I'm all for kids having chores but there's no way in hell I'd trust one to properly clean the dishes for guests.

  • Maybe they have a dishwasher like ours - things seem to come our dirtier than when they went in.  :-/

  • This is why I pre wash all dishes. I'm anal about dishes. That being said, I wouldn't feel weird saying something to a friend.
