I have major issues with old or soggy food, smelling it or touching it makes me gag. I can wash dishes by hand if I have to (and did so when we didn't have a functioning dishwasher for several years), but if given the option, I'll just give my dishes a quick rinse and then stick them straight into the dishwasher. Unfortunately in my household, we have a habit of running the dishwasher but not putting the dishes away, so it sits there full of clean dishes while dirty ones pile up in the sink. My plan for when I'm living on my own is to get everything into the dishwasher right away, run it when it's full, and then put things away as soon as it's done so it's ready to hold more dirty dishes. That way I won't have to deal with food yuck so much.
