Too funny! And I have to agree 100%!

I guess we're (Terry and I) are of the disgusting sort - and I even have evidence! Not only do T & P eat off the same plates we use, sometimes it's at the same time we are eating off of them. Not so much anymore (Tubby's sensitive tummy and all), but when we used to have ice cream, we just had to share! T & P would each get their turn at the bowl in between us taking scoops out with a spoon. When we have Dove bars (or the like) they each get their turn to lick at the same time we're licking. See below for evidence.

And ok, I can see not eating something after they've had at it, but what's wrong with using the same dish - especially it it's been washed? I think what those people just aren't very good dishwashers......
