People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong? - eviltoast

        My guess is they don’t want the little people in their house to leave dishes in the sink. Leave dirty dishes on the counter so the sink can still be used and filled to wash dishes.

      I grew up putting dirty dishes in the sink. They were piled up there until someone either loaded them to the dishwasher or did them by hand. This continued in to my adulthood until I moved outside the US, and it’s like something shifted. We just rinse and load the dishwasher and run it overnight. Now keeping them out in the sink seems gross to me, but I never thought about it before. Same with shoes in the house. Or using a shoehorn.
