I tend to have the issue that I take one plate, use that, put it in the sink, and go "It's just one plate, I'll wash it later."
Then the next day, I take another plate, use that, put it in the sink, and go "It's just two plates, I'll wash them later."
...And so, magically, before I know it, there's 5 plates, 5 bowls, 2 frying pans, 4 pots, 9001 cups/drinking glasses, and three million forks, spoons and knives cluttering up the whole kitchen... >->
