I have a lot of strange idiosyncrasies, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I won't eat the last Oreo until I get a new pack. I don't let anyone else clean the dishes because they may not clean them to my liking. Before putting dishes in the dishwasher, you must rinse them until they're basically clean. I'm aware I'm a bit of a lunatic. Think of it as my charm.

One thing I found out wasn't common, though, was reusing Tupperware. Multiple coworkers have given me playful jabs about reusing it. I was shocked to find out this isn't done by everyone.

And you know what they do with their Tupperware when they've used it? They... throw it out. Yes, you read that right. One use and it's in the trash. To me, that seems insane. Especially if there are no stains or anything inside it. You can wash it out and use it the next day!

Heck, a lot of them now are dishwasher-safe. So if there's something you can't get out by hand, you can let the dishwasher do it.

I thought this was common practice, but evidently it's not as common as I thought. I won't stop reusing them, though. I'm partial to the Tupperware I already have. I don't enjoy change. And keeping the same ones I've used over and over again feels like a safe practice.

What kind of person are you? Reuse or throw away? At this point, no answer will surprise me...
