[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FIL put an entire head of butter lettuce, piece by piece, in our drain board. Like, draped it over the drain board. I quickly moved it to a colander, saying I wasn't sure when the last time we washed the drain board was.

He got offfeeeennnnndeeedddd. [/quote]

A drain board like the rack you put over the sink to drain stuff on? Seems like an appropriate place for washed lettuce leaves to drain. And nice of him to try to help. What am I missing?[/quote]

You're missing that a drain board is not throroughly washed every time it is used, the way a colander is. You're missing that there is no reason to use something the way it wasn't meant to be used when the right tool for the job is at hand. [/quote]

Are you freaking out because of the romain lettuce thing?  Because, otherwise, I think hanging leaves drain better than ones wadded up together in a colander.  Unless you have a salad spinner.  [/quote]

Eeeeew. Sinks are dirtier than toilets. Unless you bleach your sink after every use, it’s like putting your food in the toilet. [/quote]

Oh, well, yes, we do squirt a bleach spray around the sink after washing the dishes after every meal.  [/quote]

So yeah, if later, someone had to undo my "work" rinsing the lettuce because their sink is typically not bleached, I would be ticked too.  Actually, I would be fine with it, because it was clearly not my problem, if it was their choice to keep a dirty sink, but if they showed attitude because THEY had a dirty sink, yeah, that's not cool.  [/quote]

I also would have thought they did not care much about cleanliness, if they did not keep their sink clean.  So their reaction to the lettuce would seem like an incongruous overreaction to me.  If they cared about cleanliness, why wasn't the sink clean to begin with?  [/quote]

Here's hoping you have a day full of good things so you don't need to harp on this more. [/quote]
