You missed your calling, you should be a screen writerWell those crimes that might explain why I have been on the run for several days now. It is pouring with rain and I am standing on the side of a dark highway in the middle of nowhere with my snap brim Fedora pulled down over my face for protection. Fortunately an innocent young woman has seen me and stopped to pick me up. It's warm in the car and the wiper blades are having a hypnotic effect on my tired body. I catch a glimpse of my unshaven face and gaunt eyes in the rear mirror and wonder why the young lady seems to be so serene when someone like me is sitting beside her.
Inside the car there is only that warm glow from the radio and I feel myself falling asleep when the radio announcer utters those dreaded words: "We interrupt this programme of music to bring you a special announcement about a dangerous criminal, known as the "Vinegar Villain, who should not be approached, let alone picked up by naive young women who seem to have no fear of such characters standing in the pouring rain in an unshaven state and with gaunt eyes"
She looks at me sideways and her serene expression changes. I reach over and switch the radio off.........
God, I loved those old Hollywood dramas where designer stubble,rain and desperate characters like George Raft and Humph ruled the roost with no input from Gillette
pentaxuser .
+1Its best practice not to develop film where food is prepared or eaten. some folks claim photochemistry is benign maybe some of it is (maybe in trace amounts )
but a lot of it (Metol, Hydroquinone, Phenodine and others ) isn't, some is quite dangerous. You might consider doing the dishes before you use the sink to develop your film and maybe find a better way to dispose of your chemistry ... I am most certain dumping things down the drain ( that isn't permitted like ... soaps and dilute- cleansers (bleach, ammonia, vinegar &c ) ) isn't kosher in most of Europe.
From what my inlaws and European colleagues say, household waste disposal is done at the recycling center.
best of luck!

There's always cleaning up after you process film. Luckily, my wife and I don't share a bathroom and I process my film. I have drying film reels and tanks on top of my toilet tank and I hang my film to dry in the shower stall.Good morning. Today I tried for the first time to develop a film at home. The problem was that at the end of the development, finding a sink occupied by water and various containers, taken by haste, I emptied the liquid into the left sink where there were also dirty dishes. I threw the liquid into the drain hole, not over the plates, but now I'm worried. I washed everything twice with dish soap and cleaned the sink. Can I rest easy or do I have to do some Further cleaning?
That was brilliant. Thank you for making my day.Well those crimes that might explain why I have been on the run for several days now.

Thank you for thatThat was brilliant. Thank you for making my day.
There are hazard warning labels on B&W photo chemicals. But likely there are also similar, if not more concerning, labels on your bathroom cleaner, furniture polish, even shaving foam.
The bottom line is that B&W photographic developer is relatively benign unless you happen to be allergic to it. Don't swig it. It is water soluble so a good wash of any dishes or cups it comes into contact to is sufficient. Some B&W fixers use thiosulphates which you're more likely to be allergic to (contact dermatitis) but again without swigging the stuff you're not going to do yourself harm.
