It gets worse. People will go like “this shit is dull” blame the knife and won’t even consider it needs to be sharpened (or don’t want to) chuck it or give it away and BUY NEW knives like every 1-2 years not realizing these things could last decades. All because they think they are too lazy but the whole procedure is actually more work.
Then you have the group who just use dull knives forever and accept it because they think sharp knives are dangerous. And then not realize how much more dangerous that is to use a dull knife that will slip off of things more so than a sharp knife would.
I don’t know how these people function day to day…
I actually did once know someone that I encouraged to buy a new (cheapish but decent) chef’s knife. A few months later I asked how they liked it, and they were like “oh I left it in the sink sitting in water overnight one too many times, and it developed rust spots, so I trashed it” 🤯
I didn’t actually know that it was bad to put knives in the dishwasher until only a couple months ago. For anyone wondering, dishwasher detergent is abrasive, and will mechanically dull blades.

Wait… people are putting knives in the dishwasher?! The fuck? They’re like the easier thing to clean!

Well yeah, so are plates but I’m not going to hand wash all of those. I can only trust my dishwasher with stuff that is easy to clean.
You either need different dishwasher detergent or a new dishwasher.
The day I have to pre-rise dishes or the dishwasher doesn’t clean dirty dishes is the day I go shopping for a new dishwasher.
I rent and the dishwasher is like 20 years old.
