Tell that to my hubby. We have an ongoing argument about how long to
run the water while grinding in the disposer. He turns it off
immediately after the grinding sounds clear and IMO, he doesn't even
wait that long. He flips it on and off, turns off the water
immediately. I favor letting it run and keeping the water on to
flush. I can't tell you how many times he's rushed into the kitchen
to turn everything off when I'm on garbage duty.

Oh, yes.... he's another "It'll wear out/break" so we shouldn't use it
person. Well, no wonder! What he's doing *will* hasten its demise,
but I'm banging my head against a brick wall with that.
