Best Ask Metafilter thread ever [More:]
One more reason to do dishes the old-fashioned way...
In the bathtub, you mean?
posted by trondant 21 June | 10:15
No, no, by inviting the family pets over for a little snack.

No, by tying little sponges to the feet of trained roaches.

Gah, if you train them, you have to pay them Mr. Bubble wages.

lollerskates, Doohickie - That should be our fucking motto: "if this is from metachat, you are in big big trouble"

Gah! FIRE. NEED FIRE NOW.

Anecdotal: I've seen the rat-in-bowl thing. I didn't believe my roommate, and he was freaking the fuck out. "Dude, you must be high." And then I saw it.

Tangenting, we had one of those dangerous halogen floor lamps. Our hovel wasn't sealed well. Large outdoor moths and other insects constantly burst into flames on it. Once a particularly juicy something or other met it's doom on the superheated glass, was smoking noxiously, and he climbed up to blow it out.

Fine and good except he inhaled a bit too much right before attempting to blow it out.

He swears that this insects crematory gases were psychoactive if not outright hallucinogenic. I remember him going all funny, wobbling off the chair he was standing on and shambling over to the couch to sit back down again. "Duuuude. Why the fuck am I so high!? This isn't right!"

OH.
MY.
GOD.

I would be tossing the dishes out with tongs.
Which I would then also toss out.

While screaming. And crying. And browsing apartment listings.

*shudder*

Is that something that people in big cities just get used to? I don't know if I could deal.

Evariste's comment made me LoL. And I don't do that lightly.

I had a co-worker/friend who did the same thing. She ended up tossing the dishes and getting a new dishwasher because roach parts kept showing up.
*barf*

That is so an angry parent response. We're naughty little scamps! Are we going to get a spanking?!

*lines up for spanking*
