Quarantine Dishes Have Taken Over My Life And It's Not Okay

    Where are they coming from and what do they want from us???

    Hi, I'm Lauren and I'm about to get real vulnerable right now and show you the current state of my sink.

    Now I realize it looks bad, but before you get all Judy on me and judge, I would like to state that I also did my dishes yesterday morning, which means this is literally just one full day of quarantine dishes. AND I LIVE ALONE.

    So yes, I have now declared that quarantine dishes are an abomination. And it turns out, people agree with me.

    It's a widespread issue.

    Out of control.

    been washing dishes i didn’t even know i owned

    Completely unnatural.

    My soap bottle after washing dishes for the 100th time.

    Honestly the amount of dishes being done is unlike anything that has been experienced before.

    In quarantine, life is what happens between washing dishes.

    And btw, this is not for DISHWASHER PEOPLE. You are not one of us.

    I've been washing my dishes BY HAND during this quarantine, you have a ~dishwasher~. We are not the same.

    Only people that have to wash dishes by hand will understand what we are going through.

    Welcome to Quarantine, where you take one day off from doing the dishes and it looks like an Ole Miss frat party has ravaged your apartment.

    It's madness.

    Quarantine dishes are very similar to December dishes. They come out of nowhere

    Life altering.

    Grandpa what was the coronavirus quarantine like?” “Well kiddo it was mostly doing dishes.”

    Completely outrageous and unfair.

    Trying to keep up with the dishes during a quarantine

    Don't even get me started on what happens when the dishes pile SO high that the Brita can't fit under the faucet anymore and you have to decide whether this is when you go thirsty or not.

    depression levels have reached “rearrange the dirty dishes in the sink so you can fill the brita that’s been sitting in the fridge (empty) for 2 days”

    But to everyone doing dishes for three hours a day...you are not alone!!

    It's bad, I know.

    Ugh I did all my dishes and then cooked dinner and my dishes were no longer done, I hate it here

    There are potentially other options.

    i find that a good way to reduce dirty dishes is to eat directly out of the pot using spoons and by spoons i mean your hand. https://t.co/Hy9ftpfgdi

    But in reality, this is our life now. Dishes have taken over. They own us. I give up.

    What if I just throw all the dishes in my sink away and then scream until my body crumbles to dust?
