    Do you wash your bowl right after eating cereal?

    I'm living with 5 roommates right now and 3 of them eat cereal with me in the morning. However, after they finish they just leave the bowl in the sink and fill them with water. I don't get why they do that. I just rinse out my bowl afterwards because it takes 10 seconds to do so. I don't see how filling them with water is supposed to help since it's just milk and rinsing the bowls is enough to clean them.

    Anyway I eat Oatmeal Crisp (Maple Nut flavor). My favorite cereal by far.

    I just put it on the counter and use it again later. No water needed.

    I'm official.

    I have to wash it because we all share the bowls. However, my roommates apparently don't think the same way because they just pile them in the sink and wash them after work. It takes all of 10 seconds to rinse them out and put them on the drying rack...

    I leave it in some corner of my room....and either leave it there to be excavated in the future or until my mom finds it......
    Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, who believes in you.

    Soak, but don't wash.

    I evidently doesn't count as washing it, since I usually chuck it into the sink and fill it up with water too, leaving it there for the rest of the day, until I eventually put it into the dishwasher. It prevents the cereal remnants from crusting up on the bowl. Imagine if your roommates didn't even fill them with water.

    Have you ever tried to pry off Cream of Wheat or Mini-wheats after they've been stuck in the bowl for a couple of hours?

    It's breakfast. Dishes are meant to be done in the evening.

    Totally agree, this is exactly what I do. With any dishes/bowels/silverware, I just run water over them and put them in the sink, to prevent crusting. Then, if I feel like using them later (and don't want to put them in the dish washer) I can easily clean them.

    Why's it such a problem BOC? Do you have to deal with the dishes when you're at home and they're not, or are you just generally curious?

    i thought this thread was going to be about types of cereal...
    I remember about 2 years ago there actually was a thread about different types of cereal. Great stuff.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    it depends on the state of the sink...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I don't have a habit of eating cereal, but if I did, I would probably rinse the bowl, leave it on the counter, and then use it again once or twice before washing it more thoroughly.

    dishes in general:

    plates, silverware: toss in the dishwasher.
    bowls: rinse if they've got something that'll cake on, then toss in the dishwasher.
    glasses: if they had water, dishwasher. if they had something else, rinse first (to prevent stuff gooing up in the bottom).

    I have a lot of dishes, plates, glasses and whatnot, so typically I'll run the dishwasher once, maybe twice a week.

    I don't eat cereal, as a rule.
