These are just a bunch of ceramic tokens, the size of coasters, printed with the days of the week. When you leave some dishes in the kitchen sink (or, more to the point, when you see that someone else has), toss in the token of the day. You now have firm evidence of how long things have been sitting
there. (For those who let things go longer than a week, 31 daily tokens may be required.)

Surely all the tokens would finish up at the bottom of the sink after you've removed your melted-cheese-and-Spravy-encrusted plate from underneath them to eat your apple pie, and everyone else has done the same. Or are you suggesting that someone might eventually *wash* some stuff? |

Alternatively, you could always move house? |

Angel, that could be a problem. I was going for a low-technology approach, but a more aggressive solution would be tokens that emit smoke or explode if they're left in water more than X number of days. |

Ahhh, the old AfroAssault idea adjustment returns. |

At my house, when all the plates are dirty, we would just start using the dish day tokens for plates, then the whole idea gets screwed up. |

Perhaps they could be smaller --- the size of a poker chip, or so. |

Adjustment #2: Make the tokens pyramid-shaped, so not only are they not like plates, but a sink full of them looks kind of pointy and dangerous. |
