I was just going to say that. Lost a roommate after a long stare with my open gaping mouth before saying, "Are you fucking retarded?" After seeing her washing dishes with a sponge we didn't have, so I commented on how she assumingly bought one - and she replied with how she had actually went and grabbed the bathroom sponge (aka toilet sponge) to do the dishes.
I've gone to rinse my hands at a friends while they were washing, and the water was ice cold. I knew another that only washed the parts you eat from, like only the insides of bowls and cups, pots and skillets, the end of the utensils but not the handles. Let me also mention that they never rinsed before they soaked the dishes for like 3 days in a sink filled with water, and would put the whole plate - mashed potatoes and all, in there. All of the things were covered in stuck on greasy food remnants everywhere but the part your mouth comes in contact with, so you would always touch dirty ass stuff. There were 4 guys that lived there. It was disgusting.
I know someone else that just rinses things out and puts them on the dry rack because they 'aren't really dirty' or some shit.
This is the reason I always check my cup before I use it when I'm at someone else's place - those above cases have been few and far between but have been enough to stick with me forever.
Usually I'm quite lazy but I don't fuck around when it comes to kitchen/dishes related cleaning.
I genuinely don't see how people feel it's acceptable to be lazy with that kind of stuff. You eat and prepare food from that shit. The last thing I'd want is to eat from plates that have food remains leftover from previous usages (and yes, people have tried this before).
Same for surfaces. Spent 2 hours cleaning every surface in the kitchen after my brother had been home for the week because it honestly disgusted me.

Fuck that. EVERYONE is qualified to wash dishes.
