Today, I had to yet again explain to the guy I live with that just because you can't see dirt, it doesn't mean it's clean. And so letting his dog lick the plates is NOT the same thing as washing up. He won't listen to me, and he uses my plates. FML

Today, I explained to my man child of a boyfriend that we don't reuse dirty dishes. We have to wash them. He doesn't think it's gross and yelled at me, throwing the pan in the sink. Oh, he also refuses to wash dishes. FML
Today, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML
Today, my wife bitched at me for not washing my hands before handling the dishes. The dirty dishes. That were sitting in a sink of hot soapy water. According to her, the dirt from my hands was gonna make the dirty dishes even dirtier. Huh? FML
Today, I made myself a snack. I took a seemingly clean plate from the sink which had been used earlier for scrambled eggs. Only after I'd made the snack did I remember I let my dog lick the plate clean. FML
Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML
Today, I had to tell my 28-year-old roommate she needs to wash her hands after using the bathroom. She then said she’d try, as long as I try to put my dishes in the dishwasher. Those aren’t even on the same level. FML
Today, I had to try to convince my roommate that, yes, you do need to use dish soap when you hand wash dishes because of bacteria in old food. She still won't believe me, insisting that, "There's no such thing as bacteria in food." FML
Today, my boyfriend, who moved in about a month ago, decided he wanted to move back out. Why? Because I don't keep my place clean enough for him. This, coming from the same man who refuses to wash or clean anything because "that's what women are for." FML
Today, I discovered that my boyfriend, the one who does all the cooking in the house, doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that I have the bad habit of not doing the dishes before he has his daily piss in the sink. FML

Kick him out OR hide your crockery in your room. You shouldn't have to, but it's an option to consider if you can't afford to, or simply can't, kick him out. I used to have to do this with a housemate who insisted on using a cake of soap to wash the dishes instead of using dishwashing detergent, even when I offered to wear the cost of the proper detergent. She never said why she was so hell bent on being filthy in this respect (it confused me, as she was otherwise clean and tidy). I frequently found remains of food and drink on the dishes, and they looked terrible. There were always ants in the kitchen as a result. I ended up investing in my own crockery and cutlery and keeping it in my room, and otherwise leaving the stuff that was in the kitchen completely to her. At least it meant no more arguments over whose mess it was.

Jesus that's gross. Stop letting him use your plates. I hope you wash them before you use them. That's something that should NOT be compromised on.

The scary part is that a dog's mouth IS cleaner than a human's. So I'd be more concerned about kissing your boyfriend since he most likely doesn't brush his teeth.

Edit: Just realized that "guy I live with" does not necessarily mean he's your boyfriend.

I agree human mouths are gross so when their housemate starts licking the plates then it is time to leave.

#37 - Um... no. Do humans lick their butt holes and body on a daily basis and eat random scraps off the floor, not to mention licking the floor ? No, no. Dog's mouths are disgusting.

Even if this claim (re. dogs having cleaner mouths than humans) were true, the germs that dogs are capable of tolerating versus the ones that humans can handle are not the same, and this alone is reason enough not to trade saliva with a dog. One of our dogs had the nickname "Sh*tlips" for a very good reason. This was also the reason she was not allowed to lick our faces. Our cats were horrified when she moved in and began eating the nuggets she found in the litter tray. No, dogs' mouths are not cleaner than humans' mouths!

Start using compostable paper plates.

I would be tempted to add something bacterial to a plate he uses, but that would be so wrong;-)

Time for a new housemate, one w/o a dog!

Methinks it's time to invest in some paper plates. They're pretty awesome.

Wash all the plates with ex-lax. Hey, if he can't see anything wrong with the plates then he should be okay right?
