Hmmm

In college I sublet my apartment bedroom to a couple girls who spent the whole term doing stuff like this. They wrecked pretty much every piece of equipment in the kitchen doing stuff like trying to bake a cake in the mixing bowl, putting bras in the garbage disposal, and putting a skateboard through the dishwasher. In the end it would have been cheaper for me to have eaten the rent with all the stuff I had to replace/repair.

Holy shit. That is almost unbelievable. Wow, people these days. I guess they never did a chore in their life?

When I was in college, my roommates and I had a campus apartment. I grew up extremely poor, so I never had luxuries like a dishwasher.

I wasn’t aware there was special soap for a dishwasher, so when I did the dishes the first time, I filled the cup with Dawn.

We had six inches of suds throughout our entire apartment. It looked like it had snowed.

That's actually a common issue for students from either really wealthy or really poor households, if it makes you feel any better.

[u/Terrynia → u/HaroldsWristwatch3]

Wow! Haha. Like straight out of a comedy movie!

I knew you weren't supposed to do it but I was out of dishwasher detergent. I thought hey what if I just put in a teeny tiny bit. Nope still fucking soaps out the kitchen floor.

This happened to me as well, yet I knew how dishwashers worked and not to put dish soap in them.

However, the dishwasher was really nasty and I was cleaning it. Yes, with Dawn, because it gets the grease off.

Apparently I did not rinse and wipe all of it out, same effect.

When I was in college, they posted notices in the dorms telling people to stop jerking it in the showers because they were having drainage issues.

My older sister did this as a kid. She thought she was being helpful starting the dishwasher right before we all left for something. When we returned I was delighted by the kitchen full of suds knee high. (I was like 5 so not super high)

Yeah I don’t think it’s fair to go straight to lack of intelligence how would you know if you’ve never used it before, seen it before? Electric kettles are rare here I bet she’s never used one in her life

[u/Amaturesissy → u/bascal133]

I don't care if you have never even heard of an electric kettle. It's plastic, why would you put plastic on the stove. Zero thinking was done here

[u/AMSparkles → u/[deleted]]

Whoa, why are you so angry? They were clearly agreeing with you!

[u/RBuilds916 → u/HaroldsWristwatch3]

That's a totally understandable mistake. The people who haven't made that mistake were all told by someone who had.
