It's the same with dishwashers, I have a bowl in the sink and a pair of hands and people think I'm eccentric.

You prbly don't have to deal with 3 ppl + (say) + a guest or 2. In mid 70s I declared meself as dishwasher supporter and haven't had regrets. See, I was a dishwasher at that crucial point in my career, a couple of years before that. Formative, so to speak. Haven't fliched since then.
