The guy who wrote this must have forgotten what it's like to be single...
As a "convicted bachelor," I can tell you that I don't just use one dish at the top of the stack. I go through the stack over the course of a week, and put a week's worth (or more) of dishes in the wash bin or dishwasher (depending on current apartment amenities) all at once. In other words, I treat the existence of a stack of dishes in the cupboard as an excuse to put off doing dishes in the first place...
Or to put it back on HN terms, I don't perform garbage collection until memory's full...
- jrockway 17y agoSame. But when I don't use all the plates, I put them on the top. Who cares if my $1 IKEA plate set doesn't wear evenly?
- traveler 17y ago> I don't just use one dish at the top of the stack I'm a bachelor as well; you should re-consider how big your stack is in the first place. Why do you have more than 2 of anything?

- furyg3 17y agoExactly, I lived in a house full of bachelors for 6 years (4 of us), and we had exactly the opposite problem: there were tons of cups/plates/bowls/pans (everybody brought their own to the house), but none of them were ever clean and in the cabinets. This problem is almost unsolvable in such a house, but the real annoyance is that there's so many dishes in the sink at all times. At some point I solved this problem by removing all but 4 of each item, and locking them up. That way you at least limit the dirty pile and force people to clean the dishes semi-frequently. If you're having 7 people over for dinner (never happened), just ask me for the key :)
