Ok, I'm put out; would this bug you?

*sits next to miso*

When I was working we had tons of goodie days and it never occurred to me to wash out a co-worker's dish. Everyone always handled their own dishes.

[flex]

I would have washed it but my co-workers would have too. So I would have been surprised if my co-workers hadn't washed it. Not irritated, though. I would have expected my dh to have rinsed it out himself.

I'm just picturing this dish sitting there for three days unwashed, on a counter. Out there. That's disgusting. I'd have washed it. Especially if I'd eaten some of it.
If I'd eaten the last of it I would for sure have washed it .

I don't know. Dh should have washed it over lunch today, because his training was over and he was back to work today. But YECH. three days.

This is what I'm picturing, too.  I would have been annoyed as fuck, but I would have put it in the sink to soak.  I might not have put it in the dishwasher, though.  Sometimes things soak in my own sink for three days.

It wouldn't occur to me to wash anyone's dish at work. This is on your H.

Why does it matter who was at work?

This was the husband's responsibility.

Well. I've always worked places with cleaning people and dishwashers. So if a dish were left out, it would end up cleaned by a cleaning person or someone would stick it in the dishwasher.

If, however, I worked somewhere small enough that there wasn't a nightly cleaning service, then yes, I would expect someone to clean out the damn dish. It was sitting out for 3 days. That's just foul. And nasty. I can't even imagine how dirty that kitchen must be.

I am laughing that he was in the office today for the whole day and still brought it home dirty. Why didn't he wash it at work today???

I have only worked at big firms, so there has never been an expectation that I clean up after myself. There is an entire catering department that picks up our plates, washes everything, etc. We don't do potlucks, but if someone brought a cake for a party or something, I am not sure. I guess I would just assume they would use something disposable? I would definitely not even recognize the container to wash it if I'd just eaten some of it. If I had eaten the last bite maybe I would have put it on to soak, but I am honestly not sure I would have. I don't know. I am really having a hard time picturing someone bringing food into the office in a container that needs to go home, so I really don't know how I would act.

This is what I was  thinking! He should wash it at home now. 
Thanks for the recipe!

[milosh]

This was your husbands fault. He knew he was going to be away, he should take responsibility. I would never ever expect my coworkers to clean my dishes even if I brought it for them to eat.

Am I really an outlier here?

I would never expect my co-workers to wash any of my dishes.

This falls squarely on the husband and the husband only.

I'm with you.

[Muddled]

This would not bother me because I would not consider it my responsibility to wash it.

Stuck on dirt? Have at it, H. I cook? You clean. Not my problem.

Annoyance justified, yes; but more importantly, what is the recipe?

  OMG. It is awesome. 

  two cans cream of chicken soup, fat free
  one can of chicken broth, fat free
  half cup of half and half
  one half cup of diced onions, sautéed in butter
  three chicken breasts, cooked and cubed  OR one whole rotisserie chicken, boned and cubed
  three cups cooked white rice 
  three cups cooked wild rice 

Mix all this together. Pour it in a buttered 13 by 9 glass pan. 

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top. Cover with foil; bake at 350 for forty five minutes. 

Remove foil. sprinkle slivered almonds on the top. Bake uncovered another 15 minutes. 


IT IS SO GOOD. I love this with a bit of diced celery and carrots in the mix, but dh doesn't like the celery.  My friend puts pimentos on the top for color, but I'd rather die .

This recipe sounds amazing; I think I'm going to try it and include some broccoli florets instead of carrots/celery.

This is very similar to my mom's recipe, but she adds a package of Lipton onion soup mix to it. Yummy.

I would definitely be annoyed, but I'd be annoyed at my h, not his coworkers.

This exactly.
Especially if he works with a bunch of men, none of them were going to wash it, lol. He could have soaked it at work today, and brought it home clean tonight. I am sure this happens when anyone brings anything in to eat, it just happens to be that your husband was out for a few days in a row and didn't bring it home before he left. No biggie in my books. But HE would have been cleaning it when he got home, that's for damn sure.

[auntie]

Depends. Do they have an onsite kitchen and washing supplies to clean it properly or would someone have to bring it home and return it?

This is why I send food in disposable foil containers from the dollar store.
