Today, I woke up early and made my boyfriend french toast. When he woke up, he yelled at me because it was his dish day and I was creating more dishes for him to do. He made me do the dishes. FML

Look. YDI for making french toast. I understand the freaking out thing. Normal dishes aren't a huge deal, but extra dishes that are syrupy and sticky is just a pain in the ass and super unpleasant. Yeah, maybe it would have been nice if he had appreciated that you made him something special, but either way, you made the sticky food, you should be the one to wash the sticky dishes. That's not an FML.

Yeah, they aren't sticky once you WASH them. What kind of logic is that?

No YDI to submitter. I like French toast and all, but I'd rather have the expected milk & cereal and rinse out the bowl than have surprise French toast with surprise dishes to do before going to work. Making the French toast is the fun part and is only 1/4 of the work. The other 3/4 is the sucky job of cleaning dishes. You are only giving him a nice surprise if you saddle him with the mess. I know it's not a huge burden, but some people really hate doing dishes. FYL submitter for not having a dishwasher, then there would be no drama.

You should totally take advantage of him, if he gets up last make him do the bed, if he uses the toilet after you make him clean it, ect. Then dump him - Win!

I don't have a dishwasher and I think they are both idiots. washing dishes is not hard. Hot water will dissolve syrup and sugar in like 10 seconds, then all you have to do is wipe it with a soapy sponge, rinse it off and dry it. oh god you just spent less than a minute of your day. probably less time that you would spend driving to a restaurant too.

So because she decided to be "nice" and make breakfast for him (and probably her) he should still have to wash the dishes? Please, let me cook you dinner sometime. You can clean everything up though, but that's ok right?

I'm pretty sure she probably made french toast for herself and decided to be nice and share with the bf. depending on the terms of their dish day agreement, even if she hadn't shared he may have still been responsible for the dishes. Also, if you, or my bf, or anyone volunteered to make me dinner, of course I would help do the dishes! It's polite. I'd probably help cook too because I like to cook. When I cook for my bf we usually do the dishes together. At my mom's house, whoever cooks is usually exempt from doing dishes because they already put their work in for the meal, but that is with a family, not a couple, so its a little different.

The way I see it, if she made it as a nice surprise then she was probably planning on doing them anyway, or at least tried to use as few as possible, since apparently Dish Day is some big event to be remembered around there. And even if she wasn't doing it as a surprise but was just making breakfast for both of them, then he eats and enjoys the food she prepares, he should do the dishes. And does he seriously never cook or eat anything on the days she has to do dishes? Yeah, right.

LOL ok to make french toast you're only using a mixing bowl.... a spachula *sp*, and a frying pan... other than what you would normally use OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG so hard! seriously.... the boyfriend and you are clearly retarded. Also, while making dinner you usually produce a lot more dirty dishes then just plan old french toast.

I'm not on either side. On one hand, the chef cleans her own messes. Cooking is the 'fun' part... it's in bad taste to leave someone else with the not-so-fun part. On the other, it's just a few extra dishes to become upset about. All I know is that dish washing is a tedious job. Honestly, I'd rather clean a household bathroom than wash dishes. With cleaning bathrooms, you can move around, you don't have to focus on one thing for an extended period of time, and seeing the results makes you want to work even harder to keep it in its pristine condition. But with cleaning dishes, they just become messy again and there's nothing that can be done to stop that. You stand in one spot the entire time and you're focusing on one task for maybe even over 20 minutes. It's a nightmare for people with short attention spans. Not to mention the spatulas, mixing bowls, and frying pan/griddle is terrible to clean if they haven't been soaking during the meal. The gesture of being cooked for is very sweet and all, but I can't help but groan as soon as I see the resulting mess and know that I have to clean that up too. The boyfriend should have appreciate that free meal though. French toast is awesome. He /was/ very ugly here. So, yeah, I guess it is a FYL then.

You obviously don't know how to clean dishes. Everyone has washed dishes by hand at least once. Make warm soapy water and it's done in seconds

Wow, you made what, all of four extra dishes? a plate for the egg mixture, a pan to cook, a couple of plates? and you can't even say he was the only one who freaked out over such a little thing, because you are obviously pretty upset about having to do the dishes, as much as if not more than you are about fighting with your boyfriend, so you are both totally overreacting. Apparently, your dish day system isn't working out. either you should just decide one of you will do all the dishes in exchange for the other one doing some other chore like taking out the trash, or act like grown ups and both of you just wash the dishes without fighting. That said, I'm assuming you guys are adults and living together. If you were at his place and he had this dish day arrangement with his family or his roommates, well then you should have done the dishes automatically regardless of who's day it was, because it stops being a favor if you make them clean up after it. I think I'm making some french toast for lunch. mmm.

I just want to clarify I'm not on the guys side. If the two of you made the agreement to do dishes on alternating days, then it is his responsibility to clean whatever dishes are used on that day. I'm sure that he has cooked something and made dishes you don't want to do as well, so he is being a stupid. Course maybe he just made a comment and you blew it out of proportion but whatever.

YDI dumb bitch, you should have done the dishes anyway. Same goes for when you make him a sandwich for lunch and a full dinner.

Idk, I'm on both sides. I hate doing dishes but I love French Toast! I think it would depend on my mood at the time. OP: FYL for getting yelled at.
