I'm obsessive over cleaning dishes

42% Normal
9 Comments

I've, for as long as I remember, been obsessive about when a plate, pan, bowl, spoon, etc. has any type of mark or smell or trace of old food. Even if it's been through the dish washer, I still re-clean it. I inspect everything I use to cook or eat and even if it looks and feels totally clean I rinse it and dry it anyway. If there's a spot on something I can't get off, and there's nothing else I can use, I won't eat what I was planning to. I also refuse to use wooden cooking spoons because I'm convinced they're really dirty, even if they've been cleaned. I have to run my hands over everything I use for food thoroughly before I use it.

Is anyone else like this? Because my family and friends aren't.

    It sounds like it controls part of your life, if it does then it's OCD obsessive compulsive disorder and u can get help for it. It doesn't have to rule your world. Lots of people have the same problem as u so unfortunately it's normal
    Being clean us great but not if it takes away from enjoying things and takes up way too
    much time

    Ok I know one person who ate from only disposable plates because she found the idea of reusing plates disgusting.

    Will you move in with me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!

    You're just a cleanness freak. Once you have kids, make sure you give them more time than you do the dishes.
    Just a thought, volunteer to serve in a refugee camp where you have to eat from dirty plates with no spoons. Ok get me my coat plz.
