Why You Shouldn't Wash Dishes

More specifically... don't wash dishes by putting your hand - however small and fittable - inside a glass. I got a nasty gash just yesterday doing so. I would post pictures but it's gross - especially since the hospital dude, in searching for a foreign body inside my skin, had to take a scalpel and make the wound about twice as big as it was.
The glass cut right through the skin so that he could pull the wound apart with skin hooks and watch my tendons as I contracted and released my fingers. It was kinda cool, having a square inch of the inner workings of my hand visible to me and others for a half hour or so. But I'd rather not repeat it. Waste of an evening. Oh well; should produce a nifty scar...

I refuse to stick my hand inside of glasses to wash them. A similar incident happened to my mother years ago.
Dishcloth/sponge + utensil = perfect (home made) cleaner for glasses.

perfect in most ways... but i'm impatient, and it takes too damn long. i'm the type who washes and dries every dish in the house in 45 minutes. which is probably why this happened. :P

ssa... your idea is probably perfect, if it's a nifty little scrubby brush/pad thing on a stick...

I did something like that, stuffed my hand in the glass and started scrubbing, glass popped and cut my pinky open.
The scrubbie on a stick WITH a handle that holds soap is now my friend.

I hate the scrub brushes with soap in the handle. They use way too much soap. Of course, I have a dishwasher these days so the only glasses I'm usually washing by hand are our good wine glasses.
