Today, my parents went on vacation and told me that it is "absolutely imperative" that I do the dishes while they are gone. Instead, the sink decided to break and nothing will fix it, so I'm currently writing out my will. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, my parents told me I have a bunch of chores to do today, no excuses. I have severe diarrhea and can’t leave the toilet. FML
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML
Today, I had to pee in the kitchen sink because my bathroom is being completely revamped, and the only other toilet in the house is my parents'. They refuse to let anyone use it. FML
Today, it's the first day that my overbearing and too-controlling parents are gone on a 2-week-long vacation, trusting me enough to take care of the house while they're gone. So far, I've broken a plate (it was in the microwave less than a minute before it exploded) and the power's gone out. Bad omens? FML
Today, my parents announced they're getting a divorce. Now I don't know who's going to do my laundry. FML
Today, my dad had a day off and was 'bored' so he decided to move our entire kitchen into our living room. We now have no running water, no oven that works and the entire house is a bombsite. He has an entire week off. FML
Today, I set aside an entire week off to watch my parents' house while they went on vacation. I'd only just got here and they'd barely left when the hospital called. My drunk uncle died from a concussion, so my parents cancelled everything. I feel bad for my aunt, but my boss knows where I live, and my dad's an ass. I'm trapped. FML
Today, it was my turn to do the dishes. My lazy dad just leaves his dishes in the sink without even wiping or rinsing them out, and it's been going on for weeks. When I confronted him about it, he gave a childish huff and said, "Well, next time, YOU make me breakfast!" He's unemployed and never does the dishes. FML

So you can't go buy a bucket? Use the bathtub? How old are you?

Calm the **** down, Cinderella. Get a plumber to fix the sink and make sure you give your parents the bill.

No no, let OP write his will. Hey OP. make sure to shower in a tub with hot water and brush your teeth in a sink so you look and smell great when you die!

Time to do things by hand

OP didn't say the dishwasher was broken, but that the sink was broken. Which means they were going to do it by hand already.

Some houses don't have dishwashers.

My father's "kitchen" didn't have a sink, so they did all the dishes in the bathroom sink. Technically he was living in an old converted mink farm minus the cages, so they only needed water in one room. Odd, but it worked.

just wash them in the bathroom sink or tub, bonus, fill the tub with soap and water, wash them all then when you're done drain it and spray it down with the shower to rinse them! get a dish towel and and a box and dry them as you put them in the box then go put them away! actually if its just you at home there shouldn't be too many dishes anyway. also contact your parents about the sink and ask them if there's anyone they'd like you to call to fix it.

I'm sure there are other sinks in the house.

Nope, only one. OP would have washed it in another if possible, so there must only be one in the whole house!

Do you live in a TV show? I can't imagine any real-world scenario where this would actually happen. One "absolutely imperative" chore; apparently only one appliance available to complete said chore, which conveniently breaks; and a dim-witted protagonist (most likely a teenage boy or a man-child) who doesn't have the necessary gray matter to work out that there are other solutions to this problem. Also, if you and your parents live in a property with a single sink in the whole place, I think clean dishes should be a little further down the list of "Shit I have to deal with".
