No Dirty Dishes Day is observed on May 18. On this day you could celebrate by either not washing any dirty dishes or by washing all the dishes you can.
Dirty dishes, they are part of life. A lot of time, money and energy is spent every day on washing and drying dishes and putting them away. This unofficial holiday with unknown origins encourages people to take a break from doing the dishes for the day and spend the time saved doing things for fun.
There are many ways to make No Dirty Dish Day happen. An obvious solution is to switch to plastic plates, but this is by far the least glamorous way to mark this innovative holiday. Going out to a favorite restaurant or planning an outing on which you bring snacks or grill some goodies outdoors are just a couple of options which easily turn No Dirty Dish Day into a true festivity.
On this day, no dirty dishes should to be created, which you would have to wash. It is also not the goal of this day that you stack the dirty dishes and wash it the next day.
