Does anybody also have to wear gloves when they do the dishes? Or is that just me?

I have a dishwasher

I mean me too but not everything's dishwasher friendly

He means an Indonesian.

Their rates have gone down since they started rioting over there, so I can't complain

I know it is a thing because there are tons of gloves sold for that purpose, but I do not wear gloves when washing the dishes or cleaning (my own house, at least) and think it's weird to need to.
My hands also look around twenty years older than the rest of my body, so maybe wear gloves if you want eternal youth.

Yeah I get that, I don't really know about my hands looking "young" I just need to wear gloves because I hate the textures that have to with washing dishes.

Yeah I mean I don't want the blood to get on my hands

Oh.. ok sure

Being a slight germophobe, I always wear gloves when doing the dishes. And no amount of logic can stop me from handwashing, or at the very least thoroughly rinsing, each of them before putting them into the dishwasher.

Wouldn't just washing your hands afterwards like a normal person get rid of any germs?

That's true, but I also don't like the feel of some of the food that gets left on the dishes. And the scalding hot water that I use when washing dishes isn't exactly fun to touch with bare hands.

Exactly!

Also, if you put the dishes directly into the dishwasher and run it when it's about 80% full, you won't have to wash dishes nearly as often.

No, and I've never owned a dishwasher, you and Unescapable are just weak smh.

You guys would have a lot less trouble if you just washed things right away instead of letting them sit there until they were gross enough to be squeamish about anyway.

No, I wash as I go along, and if I'm cooking, my hands are dirty anyway. I do have this weird thing where after I'm done cooking, before I eat, I have to wash my hands twice for a good meal. It's just silly little ritual I like.

Nope. I wash them then wash my hands afterwards. If I'm feeling really lazy, I'll put them in the dishwasher and then put my hands in the dishwasher to get clean too.

I've never worn gloves when washing dishes and my family doesn't even have a dishwasher.
