Oh my. My BIGGEST PET PEEVE seriously.
Yes I do rinse and make it a point to alternate between boiling hot water and cold. My family members think I waste too much water but semi-washed and semi-rinsed dishes are my BIGGEST pet peeve. Especially if the soap being used is hyper-chemical derived and not all natural-plant based. OCD I know. :)
I also loathe it when dishes are dried with towels which are clearly used and not clean.
Please people, use the dishwasher machine if you can’t bother doing it fully by hand. (Even still they may need a re-rinsing depending on age and functionality of machine.) Eek!
Yes, I’m a mild germaphobe as well, and would be concerned about eating at the home of certain people for whom household hygiene is... a little wanting.
This is my biggest beef in eating out at your average sit-down restaurant: dirty tables and utinsils. I stopped eating at Chili’s, both because of the liberal bent of the parent company and because the disgusting tile-topped tables always had “leftovers” stuck in the joints between tiles. Routinely you find dried food between fork tines. I’d use my slice of lemon as a quick wash and then wipe if I couldn’t get quick enough service before the food.
