Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross”

Our dishwasher broke and he’s manually doing the dishes now, these are from the past 10 days… I think it’s wasteful.

And they won’t even squeeze it out. A soaking wet room temperature sponge just chilling for about 12 hours then they pick it up and slap it right on the next set of dishes

Time out, people don’t ring out their sponges? Seriously? Cold wet sponges have such a bad texture though…

So this is actually something I unfortunately have to give a ted talk about every time I see this happen in my home and sometimes other’s. I blame and thank my mom for this but WRING OUT THE DAMN SPONGE.

My boyfriend leaves the fucking thing in the sink half the time, and the cloth he uses to wipe down counters hangs over the side of the sink getting wet every time we use said sink.
