I was in an office setting earlier today, got pressed and wanted to pee, then I ran into a woman just at the entrance where there's a hand basin, she was washing a food flask. Mind you, the wash hand basin is located at the first space before you enter the main bathroom/toilet not as if they are together. But I just wonder if that's safe.

There was a time my sister said she wanted to wash a plate in her bathroom because we had a function and other family members were busy in the kitchen, and I was like, why would you do that? Just chill till they are done. She saw no biggie in it but it was something I discouraged her from doing, don't know if she did it before or has done it after that day though, untill I met this woman.

Are you like my sister and the office woman too?
Or am I just taking things too seriously?
I suppose it's not hygienic.

C'mon man...There's a reason it's synonymous to "washroom" you can wash anything washable.

In my opinion, it is better than leaving your dishes dirty for a long time after eating. Once you are taking proper care of your bathroom, no biggie.

Your sister is wise and she must have taken her biology classes seriously, she understands that dirty dishes are starting point for microbial growth, hence she prefers doing her dishes immediately after having each meal I presume.

You guys had a function and there were family members in the kitchen, I guess this could include extended ones that came visiting, at that point if you check your kitchen sink under a microscope i'm certain the amount of harmful microorganisms there would triple that of the bathroom if not more.

As for the office woman... well, that's a general washroom, and I'm not in total support, except it's thoroughly taken care of from time to time. However, in a private or small family bathroom, I don't think that should be a problem.

Point taken.
At your first paragraph though
I'm not wise?

Lol, not really but she could be wiser🤗

I use to do it myself. Yes, I sometimes do dishes in my bathroom, but I don't think it's an act that should be encouraged.

If the bathroom is always neat, there should be no problem doing dishes there. Some scientists claim there are more germs in the kitchen than the toilet itself, especially in the kitchen sink.

Not totally against it. Even though I think the proper thing to do whether in those situations you described above or you occupy a tiny space without kitchen, is to get one or two big bowls (be it in your room, living room or any other space), wash and rinse the dishes inside the bowls, and pour the water in the bathroom after washing.
A little bit of cleaning wouldn't be bad for the bowl(s) too after pouring the water.

This last cleaning or washing in your write-up, where will it be done?
Isn't it the same bathroom?
Wouldn't the bowls be taken back to where they were previously arranged (which I guess it should be the kitchen)?
Wouldn't the bowls be used for other things in this same kitchen or to wash the plates some other time?
Those bowls are part of the dishes we are talking about.
At the end of the day, what difference does it make?
Humans! We like deceiving ourselves.
Just ensure you maintain a generally neat house or space, that's the most important thing.

Avoid doing your dishes in the bathroom if you can. Nevertheless, it's better than leaving the dishes unwashed for a long time.

If your WC isn't close to your bathroom, why not?
And if the WC is a bit close but you're certain you take proper care of it always and keep it covered whenever it's not in use, you still can do your dishes there, especially if it's a personal bathroom.
Dumping used or dirty dishes around the house is the worst.
I wouldn't wash my plate or related materials in a general washroom for any reason like the office woman you described though, but if it's my personal bathroom, I see nothing bad there.
