Please help settle an argument

[Connonym]

If you use a measuring cup to measure water, do you need to wash the measuring cup or is it still clean?

I contend that you can just dry it and put it away. Ex says it must be washed.

[BarenakedLady]

1. You are correct

Ex is absolutely wrong.

:)

[WhollyHeretic]

2. Unless you're measuring water from the Hudson it just needs to be dried and put away

[MrCoffee]

3. you have to dry it first?

i just throw it back in the drawer.

[BarenakedLady]

4. hehe

So do I. Damn, I'm lazy

[MrCoffee]

8. it's not lazy, it's efficient.

MrsCoffee is pretty damn sick of how efficient i am.

[ceile]

6. Please dry it!

I found ones in my drawer growing mold. EEWWWWW So, yes, you must dry them before returning to the drawer.

[matcom]

5. You win

[Kali]

7. hell I wouldn't even bother drying it. but then I live in a dry climate.

[Kali]

9. and as long as none sticks to the bottom, measuring rice is "clean" too.

and things like chopped onions and other "dryish" vegs just get a quick rinse as well, including knives.

As long as the hands touching them are clean so are they! Kali has spoken.

Wash no more.

[zappa_parappa]

10. Onions?

then everythings gonna smell like onions later. ick!

[Kali]

18. I use pyrex and a quick rinse is good.

I'm not talking let them sit there until they rot.

(also I rarely measure onions anyway - you either use them in halves or wholes, right?)

[mainegreen]

11. It's clean, unless you use something *other* than water to wash it with normally!

You do use water to wash your dishes, don't you?

[buddhamama]

12. you win

ex is wrong. i do it all the time.

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. if they're your ex, why do you care?

just do what you want.

[Connonym]

16. Because he's a freeper and it's so much fun to bait him about

anything I can

[Porcupine]

36. Ex is NEVER right. Itsa Rule!!

.

[huskerlaw]

14. What the hell are you going to wash it in?

I'm guessing...WATER?

Seriously, why the hell would you wash out water, using more water? That's beyond stupid.

[Phillycat]

17. Exactly.

[jilln]

15. With that logic

How do you ever get him out of the shower? Seems like after putting water on himself he'd be dirty and have to go right back in.

[Kali]

19. ...

:spray:

Gotta clean that water off, doncha know.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. Holy crap batman!!! This whole thread

has me rolling on the floor. WTF! Your ex-Freeper is really twisted. Washing out water with water --- lmfao

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :popcorn: :popcorn: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :popcorn: :popcorn: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :popcorn: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :popcorn: :popcorn: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MissMillie]

21. I just put it in the strainer and let it air dry.

It's clean.

[mzteris]

22. I'm guessing

this is among the reasons he's an "ex", eh?

:rofl:


edit to add:

my ex insisted on the dishes being WASHED and rinsed thoroughly before putting them in the dishwasher.

[Little Wing]

23. Tell him to stop measuring the toilet, it'll be 1.6 gallons.

[amitten]

24. That guy is an idiot. n/t

[Left Is Write]

25. I suppose it depends on preferences. Only water? I'd say it's still clean.

I did, after all, clean it with the same tap water I'd be measuring into it.

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. You are correct, Connonym.

:thumbsup: It's just water, for Chrissakes. :P

[hippywife]

27. I agree with you.

I do it all the time. If it only had water in it, it's fine to just dry it and put it away.

[uppityperson]

28. 2 suggestions:

1. ex is always right. Give and and do whatever ex wants you to.
2. say ok, put it on floor for dog to lick, then put back into drawer making sure ex sees this.

[Zavulon]

29. I have the same argument with my girlfriend, and I take your side, but

you have to pick your battles and this one isn't worth fighting.

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. Has he *ever* been right?

You trusted him once, and look how that turned out. :shrug:

[lildreamer316]

31. You gotta be kidding me.

Smack him for me.

[youthere]

32. You are right...

in theory, I know that you are right. I however, still wash my measuring cups after using them. I always throw them right into the dishwasher, the I say to myself "that was dumb" but I leave it there to be washed anyway.

[ThomCat]

33. Why would you wash something (with water)

just because it came in contact with water? :shrug:

Your ex is weird.

[uppityperson]

34. to get ex's lip marks off it?

[ThomCat]

38. Hopefully there are no lip marks on a measuring cup.

[uppityperson]

41. you just never know

[SeattleGirl]

35. Dry it and put it away.

That's what I do, if all I used it for was water.

[Broken_Hero]

37. I agree with you.....:) nt

[GOPisEvil]

39. Your ex is a moran. Just dry it off and put it away.

Unless your water is REALLY nasty that is. :D

[NMDemDist2]

40. i do it like you do. why waste the resources to wash it?

heck, i don't even dry it usually i just stick it back in the cupboard
