Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I came home after ten hours at work to find my unemployed wife and 4 kids sprawled out watching TV waiting for me to get home and cook for them. I had to wash all the dishes first because they didn't feel like getting up or helping. FML
Today, I walked in on one of my housemates pissing in the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes. FML
Today, after a full shift at work, I got home to my boyfriend playing CoD, a full sink, crap all over the table, a full cat box, dirty bathroom, no laundry done and the kids at my parents' house. He yelled at me because the place was a mess. FML
Today, at home, I always do my share of the chores. I just got back from a business trip and it turns out that I actually do ALL the chores. My wife was alone for 9 days, the kitchen was a in state, dirty laundry everywhere, cat litter box overflowing onto the floor, and the bathroom was fucking disgusting. FML
Today, I've now worked on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend after that, and two days this week. My husband and son have had all that time off, and yet I've still ended up having to clean the dishes and the house after them on all of these days. 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, while I was working a customer notified me that the men's restroom need some attention. Thinking that there was just a small mess, I walked into the restroom only to discover someone had taken a crap in the sink. Guess who got to clean it. 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, I spent an hour making my favorite work lunches, then portioning them out so I could have them all week. I later came home to a pile of empty containers. My girlfriend said, "Sorry, I got the munchies. Also, can you please do the dishes?" FML
Today, I had an very long day at work. I also had to take my daughter to the dentist and ballet class. Later, my 3 year-old son was having a diarrhoea, needing care, yet I pulled myself up, cooked, fed, read, cleaned the whole house except the kids' bedroom. My brother-in-law came, looked only at that and judged me horribly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Let me guess-you did them? That is why they expect you to do them-you let them push you around like that. Tell them to do them.

if you did the dishes then YDi for being a pushover and letting them treat you like a doormat. I hope you had some self respect and also treated them like capable people by refusing to do them and let them do them- unless of course you all take turns and it was your turn

I can't help but hear this being said with my mom's voice when I read this.

So make them wash their own dishes. If you keep cleaning up after them, they're never going to take the initiative to start doing it themselves. Most men don't do these things unless you lay down the law fairly frequently. If you're not telling them what they need to do, you can't expect them to do it automatically, no matter how man times you've told them before.

I really hope you didn't actually do the dishes, OP. And if these three men are just roommates (as opposed to a husband and kids), then move out. If they are family, I'd have a serious talk with them if I were you.

Maybe the have some sort of system like my family had when I was a boy. Each day was another members turn for dishes. Granted that's no excuse for the first thug being said as "Oy! Dishes!", though it could easily be an overstatement as she was working and such all day.

Buy a dishwasher and everyone's happy. They won't change and OP will still be a pushover, but at least the dishes won't get crusty.

don't do the dishes and just wash what you eat off otherwise they'll just expect you to do them and never help out. or get a dishwasher

Solution if you're extra nice : offer them sponges and soap, and give them a link to a random Y**T**** video along the lines of "Washing dishes for dummies".

tell them to f**k off and do their own dishes, then go to bed... problem solved. :)
