I have to jump in about the baking tray v wine glasses. I don't have OCD but John is soooooo right about this one. Always wash glasses, any type, first before the water gets greasy, otherwise they aren't crisp and clear, they have grease smears on them. Baking trays should definitely be last. They are covered in grease and burnt bits. Here endeth the lesson.

[@midwestamericans3806]

Agree with you.

If the water gets greasy, you change the water. I can't *fathom* doing the dishes and some of them being NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN when I'm "done".

[@petrolhead0387]

As an industrial cleaner and OCD sufferer, my motto has always been "Clean to Dirty". Start with the cleanest things and end with the dirtiest. This should be applied to everything, it's common sense. You wouldn't wipe the piss stains off a toilet seat, then immediately clean the handle.

I was interested in your comment about how relaxed he was. I've noticed quite a difference between UK and US comedians. UK comedians tend to rely mainly on their material being relatable & cerebral, delivered in a calm and explanatory manner. US comedians tend to try to whip up excitement in the audience by being loud and shouty. This is not a criticism but an observation.

Yea now that you mention that i see it too, good point. Robin Williams was a huge example of that😋

In the UK it really varies from council area to council area to how recycling works. My council was one of the first to do recycling and so that tech wasn't as good as at some other places. So we don't do glass collection, but we had existing bottle banks around the neighbourhood (these have been around since long before curb side recycling), we also don't do food compost collection, but the good news is that they take pretty much all plastics and tins and papers, and we only have to use one bin. My parents live in the next authority over, and they collect everything there, but you have to put into a number of different bins.

[@chatteyj]

Fascinating

[@misterflibble9799]

Our local council "recycles" food. It goes into an "anaerobic digester" where it's broken down by bacteria and produces methane, which is then captured and used to create electricity. Once that's finished, the remaining matter is used as soil fertiliser. Some councils require you to separate out various different waste streams (cardboard, paper, plastic, cans, glass, etc.) into separate containers; others just put it into one container and collect it together, sorting it out later. Whilst the "one container" solution seems easier, it does have problems - for example, some people put things like empty food cans into their recycling container without washing them. The remaining food on the inside of the can then contaminates other items - for example, paper mills want clean paper for recycling, not paper that's covered in dog food. Keeping the waste streams separate limits the likelihood of cross-contamination, and results in better quality recycled matter which has a higher resale value.

[@Hansen710]

Mixed plastic have no value, it cant be recycled, you need to sepperate the ones that can first If it can be sepperated from echother Food in plastick is not the big problem. Microplastic and that much of it cant be recycled so we just store it, is the big problem We are suposed to have 10 different trashcans in my country, but most citys does not have it. cause we cant use it right now, (unless we burn it) so we just store much of it for later.. Trashcans for recycling does sadly not solve most of our waste problem right now The dogshit container for my dogs shit or your food waste doesent make much sense when everybody in my city lives in houses and the have a garden But we have them, and nothing for our trash from the garden 😂 Some day it might make sense Many of the sepperated containers at the local dump ends up burning, they cant deposit it all for later generations And perhaps a filter on the chimney is better then deposting things that destroy the world slowly

In regards to recycling, here in southern Norway we recycle everything seperate; paper/cardboard, plastics, food waste, glass/metal, a general waste for everything else, and electricals/battery. Anything else and/or larger things have to be brought to the tip/waste processing place. We also have our trash picked up weekly, however not every bin gets emptied every week, they are on a rotation🙃

Hi, Welshman here.... my area has recycling for every material & food. Plastic, aluminium, glass, paper, cardboard, etc. We don't have those gigantic waste bins that you do for recycling, but we do have one of them for non-recyclable items. We have smaller, colour-coordinated bins (3-4 of them depending on the area) which are labelled with the type of materials that go in them. Seems like Britain is just more structured/efficient than the US.

Brush and rinse the bad stuff (gooey things that were soaked, and saucy stuff) 2. Replace water. 3. Wash see-through stuff (glass) 4. Wash shiny stuff (cutlery) 5.

[@Jamie_D]

I don't consider myself to have even minor OCD but i do have a strict regime for washing up, first the cutlery goes in the taking up hardly any space (no sharp knives yet) then large plates and small plates in to wash up first, then once the plates are done i'll do cutlery next then pop the sharp knives and any large utensils in just after. After that the bowls and cups go in. Once all that is done the water temperature has usually dropped and the water can be looking a bit icky, so the sink is emptied and rinsed then filled back up for pans then baking tray style things last.

They can be returned and recycled at any grocery store. Also... I have no idea when "garbage day" is... or even whether it *_has_* a certain day

Recycling In Britain varies from region to region depending on the recycling facilities available in each area. This can cause confusion when people move to a new area. e.g students. Ideally it would be the same throughout the UK but this would mean spending billions on new recycling facilities. Sadly a lot of stuff that's supposed to be recycled isn't in reality. e.g approximately half of the paper/cardboard sent to recycling is actually burnt in furnaces and a lot of plastic sent to be recycled is actually shipped abroad where's it's just dumped by unscupulous private contractors.

Where i am there are usually 2 wheelie bins (sometimes a 3rd one for garden waste which is brown bin,if they choose to pay for it) but mainly there is black for household waste, and they are very strict about no overflow to encourage less waste, then the green for recycling, basically everything can go into the same bin, cardboard, paper, glass, cans (not sure about aluminium (aluminum) and the rule here is you can put as much extra recycling out as you want as long as it's clearly visible that the contents is recyclable material. Oh and black bin is 1 week and green the next, which is why each is every 2 weeks. Colours and recycling requirements do vary by county though, i know in the part of Lancashire I've visited that their recycling bins are blue.

Lol it depends on where you live in the UK. I live in the north of England and everything just gets chucked into one big recycling bin but when I lived down south, you only get a small box that has to fit 2 weeks worth of recycling in and everything has to be sorted into separate bags before the recycling truck will take it. The washing up order I can totally relate to. There is an unspoken rule that you should do things in a set order ie glasses, cups, cutlery, plates, trays, pans etc. So it goes in order of how dirty something is. It means you also dont get food and grease on glasses. - should also point out in the UK the majority of people use washing up bowls in the sink and dont just run water constantly to wash things which seems a popular way to wash up in the USA- hence why its a bug bear when washing up as things soak in hot water first

Depending on where you live in the Uk the recycling can be a nightmare! I think I had 6? Different tiny bins at one point? And each week was a different pick up? Had bottles, food,paper, plastic,tins, & “everything else” which confused the hell out of me cause what’s left? Lol unwanted children??

If it's not in the States You've Been Framed was a show where people filmed themselves, but it went wrong so telly for chance of £250. Usually just people tripping at weddings or taking a soccer ball to the face or groin.

US equivalent would be "America's Funniest Home Videos".

I wash things together then I fill the sink and put all the things in boiling water and let them sit for 5 mins then put them in the drying rack.

Every council in UK has different recycle rules, Jon married now with young child, it must do his head , he probably turns cleaning and putting away things into a game

[@sierraromeoromeo2444]

Jon isn't OCD, he just has traits of it. His words.

Brilliant reaction as per usual from you pair. So good, reminded of husband loading dishwasher systematically... Too long as systems analyst I guess.

It's not that he cares that the bacon tral is different from the wineglasses...it's that the bacon tray is full of grease that will dirty the water...greasy water and glassware don't really mix.

Now, in England, at least, we have to sort everything into; trash, general recycling (tins, hard plastic, cardboard), soft plastics, food waste and glass bottles. They don't want to spend money on hiring people to sort it, so people's lives get made more stressful.

[@synaesthesia2010]

anything glass should always get washed first, then cups, bowls, small plates, big plates, pot and pans, cutlery, greasy trays and always in that order

When he's talking about housemates, one of them was Russell Howard
