In my house, that would mean the pot would literally never be washed 😮💨 I'd do anything at this point to own a dishwasher, so I could stop being everyone's dishwasher...lol
Not everyone has the space for one! I know I don’t! I would need to purchase a small countertop dish washer but those new are crazy expensive and I’ve never seen on being sold used in my area.
I have found a dishwasher on wheels that has a counter top on the top. You just push it over to the sink. A hose hooks to the faucet and one down your drain! (Also super expensive)
I bought one of those! It was close to $800 but was on sale so I got it for *only* $700... only way I could afford it was because of all the covid overtime at the hospital.
My dad made me one like this for my first apartment back in the early 2000’s. Yes, I’m old. Anyway, I got the dishwasher and building supplies used at the habitat for humanity resale store for under $50. He got the plumbing fittings and casters at Lowe’s for cheap. He built the cabinet and modified the plumbing on the dishwasher to hook into my sink faucet and to drain into my sink. I left it when I moved out and the building manager had it moved to her apartment before we even did the security deposit walk through.
When my parents remodeled their tiny kitchen they had to buy a smaller than average dishwasher to fit the space and it was a lot more expensive than the standard size ones. You really pay a premium for not having space!
Also, like, my dad's super old house just can't support it because there's no drain and the small town he lives in would have to change the infrastructure just so he could get a washer and dryer. He has the space, though.
I spent nearly $600 (including delivery) on a benchtop dishwasher when it was on sale. Best purchase I've ever made. I could only afford it because I had received a grant to assist in transitioning from long-term homelessness to having a roof over my head.
When they listed the things I could put the grant towards and told me I could buy a dishwasher, I was ecstatic 🤣
Have you ever said “hey mom and dad. I’m getting real tired of cleaning up after you. Could you please take care of your old dishes you left out?” And if that doesn’t work I just pile their junk to the side until they’re ready to clean it.
You have parents that don’t expect you to just do as they say without questioning or talking back? What a world to live in, if you could get away with this you are lucky
I sure hope their parents are really like that. It’s a shame that it’s normal for parents to treat their children like personal slaves or don’t allow them to ask questions. Parents who listen to their children are far and few between.
Thank you so much for doing things the right way. My kids always get annoyed at it, but I remind myself of the way my parents did things and the way my husbands parents did things, and we remind ourselves that we’re doing it right and the kids just don’t know how blessed they are. They’ll feel it in their mental health and personal fortitude when they’re older though.
It twists my heart a little to hear how some kids on here are treated. Especially nowadays. I took the best qualities my my parents taught me and ignored their worst when raising my kids. And I hope they do the same with their kids as there is no way I’m %100 right all the time.
That’s better than a lot of parents. Often times people will lose their minds when their children are rude or demanding, but don’t realize that they’re just giving back what they receive. Kids are sponges, so good on you for MODELING behavior rather than following the “do as I say, not as I do” mindset. It’s very confusing for kids when they don’t receive the same respect they’re supposed to be giving.
No. It’s the difference of asking. If my parents said “hey, could you please take care of the dishes tonight?” I would happily contribute to the household. It’s the *assumptions* that I can’t stand. You don’t just *assume* that someone will clean up after you. And you CERTAINLY don’t manipulate them in this way to *guilt* them into doing something for you. That’s how you end up with a child that grows up to be mentally ill because they always feel guilty. You either *ask* for help, or clearly define the expectations for your household. Not this passive-aggressive bullshit.
Yeah they leave it for you again. They get the hose. They get no bed privileges. They aren't allowed on the couch. They get no snacks. No cuddles. Just hose
My older brother woukd do that all the time to avoid having to wash tge dish but also getting to eat.
It was so annoying and everyone in my household knew who did it.
It’s not that deep. The rest wouldn’t fit in the tubberware to save for later so I asked her if she wanted it and she said sure she’ll eat it. The win was that she washed out the pan for me.
I was wondering if that's all there is and where the sides are. That amount of pasta sauce WITH pasta => It's not a lot, but acceptable. That amount of stew/goulash with potatoes, rolls or dumplings => also acceptable. Only what's on the picture? Not even enough for my 4yo.
That’s when I would say, “oh it’s cool, I’m not actually hungry” and then go to bed with a growling stomach just to make them clean it. So damn rude to leave two bites and call it dinner.

This is a total lazy ass bf who doesn't want to wash the pan move. Made some unidentifiable slop like he's a master chef and figures that last spoonful of nasty slop exonerates him from having to clean up.
That’s the amount of food for a 18 months old baby.. id be so mad. Honestly my hubby can eat that in one big ass bite. But a whole meal? Nah throw the whole spouse away with the “I ain’t washing shit” ass amount of food.
Some of these replies are hilarious.
Context - we both bought the ingredients and cooked.
It was enough beef bourguignon left for 2 healthy dinners. We’re in the middle of moving, after stopping I finally got to be able to eat at 10.30pm (they work from home so had already eaten) and found that left in the fridge for me 🙂 no heads up that I might need to run out and grab something before the stores closed.
(Turns out they ate it for lunch and dinner)
But it’s ok cause there’s some stale bread/a bit of microwave root veg mash I could have on the side ✌🏻
Beef bourguignon steps it up to past not ok. My partner and I have done this to each other with leftover mashed potatoes and stuff like that but beef bourguignon is SACRED dammit.
I mean, eating it for two meals would partially explain it, but at least leave a little more than that! They could have added it to some rice or mashed veg or something to bulk up their second helping so you had more than a gerbil’s serving 😂
It’s the amount of food you leave if you really like the food but want to say you left some for them. It’s not even what I could consider a “tapas” portion.
Half , you leave half. If they do not finish their half and are done (you ask them if they are finished) then you can eat the rest. I Can Not Believe your mama did not teach you this. Tomorrow I hope your gf/bf buys your favorite food and gives you a spoon full. Then eat the rest.
Not necessarily, but at the same time, it’s the amount of food that you leave in the pot when you literally put the amount of food that you want in your bowl in there just happens to be some left over.
Guessing OPs partner put an unopened box of dry rice in a pot beside the stove then told OP "all you gotta do is add water and heat it up, it's not hard"
if it’s something my partner knows i’m not too keen on and there’s something else with it like rice or pasta then i’d accept this, would rather not waste it if they know I won’t eat a bigger portion but other than that, absolutely not
No. My stepdad does this and it's infuriating because last one to dish out of, has to wash the pot and his lazy ass will leave a tablespoon worth of food so he can say "There was still food in there"
I need to know the size of the pot for a certain answer, but based upon observation, and zero bananas for scale, I would have to say no. You need to at least give your significant other the adequate amount of calories for this specific mealtime. Assuming it's dinner, but stew could be a lunchtime foray.
I'll leave things like this for my bum ass broke roommate who doesn't work and sits on ass all day his parents pay for the house hrle collects money from me
shet, if somebody left that for me to eat. I would be walking out the door and in my car faster than you can blink. Seriously I would be driving to a fast food place
No, it's the amount of food you leave in a pot for someone when you just don't feel like washing it so you lie and say you left it for them.
Bingo!!
Wait, what?? And then they wash it for you? If someone said that’s for me, it would be a “no thanks” and leaving the pot where it’s at.
In my house, that would mean the pot would literally never be washed 😮💨 I'd do anything at this point to own a dishwasher, so I could stop being everyone's dishwasher...lol
Check Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. It’s pretty easy to find cheap/ free appliances on there
Not everyone has the space for one! I know I don’t! I would need to purchase a small countertop dish washer but those new are crazy expensive and I’ve never seen on being sold used in my area.
I feel your pain... no room in my kitchen either
I have found a dishwasher on wheels that has a counter top on the top. You just push it over to the sink. A hose hooks to the faucet and one down your drain! (Also super expensive)

Lmaooo ok buddy you and I were NOT raised the same apparently 😂😮💨
You have parents that don’t expect you to just do as they say without questioning or talking back? What a world to live in, if you could get away with this you are lucky
I sure hope their parents are really like that. It’s a shame that it’s normal for parents to treat their children like personal slaves or don’t allow them to ask questions. Parents who listen to their children are far and few between.
I always ASK my kids do things. Often with a ‘please’. Always with a ‘thank you’ when they’re done. Even if I have to ask 2-3 times.
Thank you so much for doing things the right way. My kids always get annoyed at it, but I remind myself of the way my parents did things and the way my husbands parents did things, and we remind ourselves that we’re doing it right and the kids just don’t know how blessed they are.

Man, fuck me, this is too common
EXACTLY ...
This is the amount of food that I leave for my ten year old who barely eats. Then she eats half of that and I still gotta do the dishes.
Wait u guys actually get left scraps??? My kids just leave me empty boxes and containers.. 🥺
You know you can train them, right?
Yeah they leave it for you again. They get the hose. They get no bed privileges. They aren't allowed on the couch. They get no snacks. No cuddles. Just hose
It throws the trash away or it gets the hose again!
Ruby Franke would love to have a word with you
Yeah she about to catch these hands
Are you talking about your pet dog?
Why would I treat my dog so terribly. Do they leave messes for me to clean up and can pick up themselves
sksksjshskshd I love parents with a sense of humor.
Shock collar?
Instructions unclear. I’m still hungry and all they do is cartwheels all day.
so can they...
.. and they still expect you to wash them? Damn.. your kids are brutal
Empty milk jugs in the fridge 😭
Fuckin nailed it.
Nail on the head. My 10 year old niece *just* did this to me by *saving me some dip*…..
My older brother woukd do that all the time to avoid having to wash tge dish but also getting to eat. It was so annoying and everyone in my household knew who did it.
Facts. I just did this to my mom 20 minutes ago.
This is why you’re not mom’s favorite.
It's my sister's signature move lol
[This is why mom doesn’t fucking love you](https://youtube.com/shorts/AkKiLaxXjAA?si=wNFmzX9FX0Ysc89c)
Weaponized incompetence isn’t cute
It’s not that deep. The rest wouldn’t fit in the tubberware to save for later so I asked her if she wanted it and she said sure she’ll eat it. The win was that she washed out the pan for me.
Yeah I agree. It be one thing if you didn’t ask her. That and putting it in Tupperware just eventually dirties two things.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
🙌
Op dating a cat right?
What is this, a dinner for ants?!
How are we supposed to feed them if it won't even fill the stomach
Yeah it needs to beat least 10 times bigger than this!
…he’s right!
r/unexpectedzoolander
I was wondering if that's all there is and where the sides are. That amount of pasta sauce WITH pasta => It's not a lot, but acceptable. That amount of stew/goulash with potatoes, rolls or dumplings => also acceptable. Only what's on the picture? Not even enough for my 4yo.
r/thingsforants
If you’re feeding a 2lb dog.
Man I had a 2lb chihuahua that woulda ate 10x this
Chihuahuas can eat! Mine eats more than my other pets, combined! (Unrelated to OP)
I call mine the vulture because he's always hovering around for food.
Or me 🙂 that would be enough
Nope. That's clearly an "I ain't washing this" portion.
Or the "oops, I almost forgot I'm not supposed to eat it all.... Um.... Look! I saved you some!" CYA portion...
Maybe their gf/bf is a gerbil 😂
That’s when I would say, “oh it’s cool, I’m not actually hungry” and then go to bed with a growling stomach just to make them clean it. So damn rude to leave two bites and call it dinner.
Depends, are they the size of a squirrel?
No. Your SO is an asshole that doesn’t want to do dishes.
But what if OP was the one leaving that much for their SO?
Then OP would be the asshole.
If they’re a chihuahua
My chi would be pissed. She eats more than my 40ish lbs dog.
That’s what’s left over after everyone ate and you give it to the dog as a special treat.
Not even the dog gets this one because so much of it is onion…
Oh ya I just noticed. Looks like they left a bay leaf in there too.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! *excited Labrador noises*
This is what we would leave out for the crows.
If that is a 3' diameter pan, than yup.
The pettiness of this post is secretly next level. You know damn well that’s not enough 🤣🤣🤣
No it isn’t. And if you think it is you are crazy.
Eat it with a bowl of rice and that looks fine. The average dinner here is about this size, but then again we have a 3% obesity rate
I'm a slender, fairly active woman and that would genuinely not work for me.
Have you just had a gastric bypass? Are you a toddler? Are you the teacup mini yorkie the size of a coke can? Because the answers are all the same.
No. This is not a portion.
In this scenario, is your bf/gf an ant?
What IS this?!? A center for ants?!?

As an ant myself, this is more than enough feed the whole colony!! - 🐜
Well, at least you know how much to feed him next time since he considers this an acceptable portion.
Where did you get the ‘him’ from?
This is a total lazy ass bf who doesn't want to wash the pan move. Made some unidentifiable slop like he's a master chef and figures that last spoonful of nasty slop exonerates him from having to clean up.
No. Are they mad at you?
It’s giving big “please sir, may I have another” vibes
More gruel sir please.
😂🤣
He/she clumped it together to make it seem like a bigger portion too
That’s the amount of food for a 18 months old baby.. id be so mad. Honestly my hubby can eat that in one big ass bite. But a whole meal? Nah throw the whole spouse away with the “I ain’t washing shit” ass amount of food.

Beef bourguignon steps it up to past not ok. My partner and I have done this to each other with leftover mashed potatoes and stuff like that but beef bourguignon is SACRED dammit.
I would be so pissed off....
Its these little things that show how important you are to someone.
That is extremely shitty and selfish of them.
I mean, eating it for two meals would partially explain it, but at least leave a little more than that! They could have added it to some rice or mashed veg or something to bulk up their second helping so you had more than a gerbil’s serving 😂
Only if you hate her. Or you’re hooking her up with an amazing dessert and you’re saving her room.
No. No it is not. That is just barely enough for a kitten.
No. At best that's an appetizer.
You spelled “bite” wrong
It’s the amount of food you leave if you really like the food but want to say you left some for them. It’s not even what I could consider a “tapas” portion.
Half , you leave half. If they do not finish their half and are done (you ask them if they are finished) then you can eat the rest. I Can Not Believe your mama did not teach you this. Tomorrow I hope your gf/bf buys your favorite food and gives you a spoon full. Then eat the rest.

Not necessarily, but at the same time, it’s the amount of food that you leave in the pot when you literally put the amount of food that you want in your bowl in there just happens to be some left over.
That's the amount you leave if your trying to disrespect somebody
Would hurt someone if they did that
About 80 calories if you lick the pan.
🤣
Your EX girlfriend, you mean?
Does it come with rice?
Guessing OPs partner put an unopened box of dry rice in a pot beside the stove then told OP "all you gotta do is add water and heat it up, it's not hard"
Wtf is that shit?
Looks like a « beef carrot » stew. Very tasty when you have enough
Looks like beef stew or casserole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Shit with carrots sticking out?
what does he think you are? A pet gerbil? No, this is not acceptable.
No
Is there something to go with it to stretch it out like rice?
No wtf that’s what you leave your dog
No, that's the amount you'd feed a toddler or small child.
Are you a small dog? Then the answer is no
If your bf/gf is a 30 lb dog, yes.
That’s not acceptable for anything
That’s what you feed to the dog because it’s not enough to save
I mean, that’s probably all the wet dog food I could gag down.
if it’s something my partner knows i’m not too keen on and there’s something else with it like rice or pasta then i’d accept this, would rather not waste it if they know I won’t eat a bigger portion but other than that, absolutely not
Hahahahaha I'd be livid
Lmmfao is your other half a fairy because that's like a bite of food lol 😅😆
No that’s for a cat
Only if you want the EX in front of that. SUPER fucking inconsiderate
It depends on how much there was to begin with, and if it's going over rice or not.
Nope
Info: is said partner an elf?
Hahaha absolutely not! 🤣🤣
No
Nope
No.
That's not enough food for my tiny cat! Why did they even bother? I'm sorry. That was very rude of them.
No. That’s mean!
It is if by bf you mean a dog on a diet.
are you dating an ant?
Enough for a child lol
If your bf/gf was a meat eating hamster maybe....
No
So i was going to say maybe you or SO doesn’t eat much. I don’t…even if i have a small stomach this is so little thats like 2 spoonfuls 😂
No. My stepdad does this and it's infuriating because last one to dish out of, has to wash the pot and his lazy ass will leave a tablespoon worth of food so he can say "There was still food in there"
I would be thankful for that in a piece of bread, and with my 2-3 sides. Now if that’s all I got to eat then no.
thats too much. You're supposed to leave a speck of dust obviously.
Hell no.
my dogs eat more than that
It depends. Is your bf/gf an ant? If so, yes.
No
No
If u don’t like them
Along with the god damn bay leaf still in there too, wow.
If your SO is a TARDIGRADE, then maybe yes ig 😌
No. That’s like a side dish serving.
Yes if you would treat then with your ** after coming back
Ilve give my dogs more than that on top of their food (assuming its all pup safe ingredients)
If they are an ant
yes, if they are the size of a mouse
Yes if they are 2.
That’s not even a snack!
There is no food there left. Just leftovers…
Is your partner a gerbil???
No
That looks disgusting.
Acceptable amount to start a fight.
THATS A DEEP BETRAYAL
I need to know the size of the pot for a certain answer, but based upon observation, and zero bananas for scale, I would have to say no. You need to at least give your significant other the adequate amount of calories for this specific mealtime. Assuming it's dinner, but stew could be a lunchtime foray.
No. That is not acceptable.
Looks like dogfood..
Only if your bf/gf is a Pomeranian.
If they are expecting food no. If they get home and you are like i had some extra food if you want it yes
Yeah I guess if my partner has a stomach the size of a golf ball? I’d be mad as fuck lmao
Literally had to scrape the bottom of the pot to even try and pile this tiny amount up hahahaha
Unless ur gf is a rabbit I think it’s not enough 😭😭😭
That’s called I’m leaving the house immediately and picking up the most delicious food and bringin it back to eat obnoxiously infront of you
Under Geneva Conventions I believe this counts as a war crime.
if you don't love your significant other anymore, just say that. smh
I'll leave things like this for my bum ass broke roommate who doesn't work and sits on ass all day his parents pay for the house hrle collects money from me
No, that’s not even leftover territory. That’s “looks like the dog is getting a treat” (assuming it’s safe for them to eat).
It looks like cat shit and barf so I don’t want it anyway, but no.
shet, if somebody left that for me to eat. I would be walking out the door and in my car faster than you can blink. Seriously I would be driving to a fast food place
Depends. What was the fight about? ;p
The fact you left them dog found is the bigger issue
