Yesterday, I took this photo of the sink here at the office. Those dishes had been sitting there for God knows how long. At least a week. Today it seems that some have been cleaned, but the utensils remain. What in the world is the deal? There’s not a fork, spoon or knife to be had in the utensil drawer… but there they sit, stewing in nasty dishwater sludge.
This post is my attempt to shame the culprit/s — you know who you are — into changing their wicked ways. I’m also wondering if there are other office kitchens with the same problem. Perhaps together we can find a solution to the Dirty Dish Bandits. Let me know your thoughts.

I did the silverware…
put their dirty siverware on their desk or chair. When I was younger I wouldn’t take my hair out of the drain after then shower….my mothers solution: put it on my pillow. I stopped leaving hair in the drain REAL quick 😉
