Those of you that work in an office, what is available to you to clean your dishes with in a sink?
I just went to wash out a tupperware dish I had rice in for lunch, and, while I've noticed it before, I never took a good look at the absolutely vile sponge that sits next to the sink handles. I mean, you'd have to be a complete maniac to use this thing on your dishes let alone actually touch it with your hands. I got a little nauseous just looking at it and wondering who uses it to clean their stuff.
Can you relate to this horror?

We have a dishwasher. Which I will miss terribly when I am gone in just over a week.

I've never looked at it, to be honest. But I never wash anything at work. I just wash it at home and bring it back the next day (that is, if I bring a lunch that requires tupperware).

I thought this thread was about a band at first.

On a related topic, I LOVE Tupperware. I wanted to have a party Tupperware but it alienated too many of my friends, so my wife ended hosting it and got all this free stuff because it was one of the most successful parties the Tupperware lady had ever seen. I sulked in my room.

Someone shit on the floor in the bathroom today. I can't see how that is at all possible, what are you doing in order to bring yourself into a position like that?
The worst part was that some poor soul had stepped into it.
- LOL. Sorry.MrOneHundred

apparently in spain the rain does not in fact fall mainly on the plain. such a terrible misnomer about spain's geographical nature propagated by a nefarious 'illuminati' style of world governing geography group or some such.

We have a short, stereotypically loud Italian woman named Angela do all of that for us. At 60-odd years old she's still working out the finer details of office life, like not walking into a meeting with a vacuum cleaner on full, or wiping your desk while you're sitting at it on a phone call. She keeps a bloody clean kitchen though.
My main complaint about my office kitchen is the staff that leave ground coffee all over the counter.

I've experienced the same scenario at my job. I go to wash my dishes, and low and behold, a 5 year old sponge that reeks to high heaven.

I used to work in an office that had a kitchen somewhere, but I never knew where it was. I ate L&L Hawaiian BarBQ everyday. If you live in Hawaii or NYC look it up. It's amazing.

Oh you mean the coffee pot sponge.
Yeah, we have one of those at my job.
they use that to clean the coffee pot from the coffee you drink every day for the last few years.

listen mg - I hate to break it to you but this is standard fare for an office sink.
Every office I've ever worked at has had a swamp sponge like the one you described. It's often wet too, leaving me to wonder who in their right mind washes a dish with such a dirty cessbag. Personally, I'd rather eat off of someone else's day-old, spaghetti-sauce-crusted plate than wash my own plate with that sponge.
To remedy the matter, I use hot water and paper towels. I know it's not "green", but at least it keeps me from turning green when I need to wash my dishes.
About once a year the sponge is replaced and I think "oh what a pleasant surprise!" I'll use the sponge for a week or two, then slowly watch it turn from that bright pink to brown, to black.
I've thought about bringing in my own pack of sponges and storing them under the sink, but I always forget to buy them when I'm at the store.

sponges are about the worst thing you can use to wash dishes with. all the pores and wet environment is just a safe havens for the bacteria.

lol @ the sponge... i can relate.. how about seeing a head baker put his big hairy arm into a vat of mash potato to scrape it out?( i mean he had it all up his arm and still put it on the pies!)
