i don’t entirely mind doing the dishes, cleaning is relaxing to some degree. but emptying the dishwasher drives me fucking nuts, puttering around the kitchen opening all the drawers knowing it’ll get dirty again within the day
I work 12 hour shifts so my sink becomes an abomination the days i work. But get me stoned and I’ll have everything in the drying rack put away and everything in the sink cleaned.
I find washing the dishes far more sisyphean than emptying the dishwasher. I feel like I’ve gotten out ahead since the dishwasher did the vast majority of the work for me.
Neither of the tasks bother me that much these days though, by the power of podcasts I can accomplish any mundane task.
There’s the two dishwasher solution: Have two of them side by side, use up the clean stuff from one and load dirty stuff into the other and vice versa - when the dirty one is full let it run, and after that this is the clean one.
Works like charm and saves a lot of space in the kitchen, no cupboards required.
