Indian Student Shares 'Struggles' of Doing Dishes Abroad, Internet Quickly Schools Him

Social media users found themselves firmly divided, on an Indian student’s tweet of doing dishes while studying abroad. The student posted a pic of himself on ‘X’ washing a non-stick pan with the caption, “Go study abroad it’ll be fun they said.” Case in point, the latest tweet has captured the attention of people and left them in splits.

The post quickly backfired, sparking a debate on social media, with some voicing concerns about the lack of basic life skills and the importance of being an independent person while studying abroad.

Check the tweet here:

One user stated, “Abroad or in India, dishes don’t get washed on their own. The only difference is someone used to do it for you back home. And you would expect someone else to do it for you after marriage. If you think this isn’t fun, imagine doing this every day your whole life.”

Another user hilariously questioned, “Don’t you love it when people discover chores need to be done only when they go abroad to study?”

A third person mentioned that doing chores is one of the most basic things. “He wrote, “I don’t get the discourse around doing dishes. isn’t it the most basic thing that everyone should do?????”

Amid all these reactions, one user mentioned that going abroad to study doesn’t mean a vacation. The user wrote, “When you think going abroad to study means a vacation.”

An X user asked the person to use a dishwasher, “Just use dishwasher bruh it ain’t too hard and if you went to Europe or Canada, then the joke is on you.”

While reacting to the post, one more user questioned, “Am I the only person who thinks washing dishes is actually a fun chore.”

Another raised the concern on the hygiene, “If your ceramic pan is that greasy, you barely clean it once a month. How do you live so unhygienic man?

Amidst the diverse reactions, the post has received nearly 215K views and numbers are still rising. Several users took to the comments section of the post to express their thoughts. “Why are you getting cooked for doing bartan (utensil),” asked a person. “Fun doesn’t mean you won’t have to clean the dishes ever,” another user added.
