ALL hilarious and definately true.

Almost nobody I've encountered either in dating or roommate situations has loaded a dishwasher to suit me.
I'm far from an organization/cleaning freak, but there's something about a haphazardly loaded dishwasher that bugs the hell out of me. :lol:

re: the one from PE... I realized that I was neither 'popular' nor truly one of the 'weird kids'... Perhaps my failure to polarize accounts for my current mediocrity. :lol:

There is an easy solution to the dishwasher issue. If you suck at loading the dishwasher, don't do it. If you are anal about how the dishwasher is loaded, do it all yourself. :shrug:

I grew up without one, so I still don't understand why it's such a big deal. So guess who gets to load it? The rich kid that grew up with a dishwasher. :lol:

If you live alone, there is no use for a dishwasher anyway. Just wash by hand.

[OneSickPsycho]

I was hoping someone would get that...

Yeah while my husband is gone I run the dishwasher once over 28 days. The day before he gets home. :lol:

[Gas Man]

A buddy of mine swears he never loads another houses dishwasher. People are very picky about it. Which I find more true than not.

The worse person for it, is my mother in law. She says she worries about the knifes sticking too far down in the basket and hitting the spinning water fan. So she loads all the knifes, forks... pointy edge UP!!! WTF is that shit!

I love the "lose - win loose - your mom"

They actually get cleaner that way.

But yeah, no matter how I do it, it's "wrong". :lol:

Heather, I find it hard to believe that you don't have a way you like it loaded. :lol:

[Particle Man]

My dishwasher had a "knife basket" where they sat sideways.

I still got yelled at for doing it wrong :lol:

[Smittie61984]

I always doe the dishes becuase my GF just throws them in in random order. Doesn't even wash them first. Then I'm stuck with nasty cereal bowls.

Those are great!

A little club soda will get that out...

What an odd thing to profess. Unless he's a housekeeper or something? :?:

[HurricaneHeather]

I was wondering about that myself.

I don't think that situation arises often enough to have a rule about it. :lol:

Granted, I have a rule that you never sweeten anyone else's coffee or tea and you never add milk to anyone's cereal. You let them do that themselves. That's too personal. I guess that is just as obscure. :shrug:

[Gas Man]

Ok so ur at ur friends or family house for dinner or bbq or t-day. You're putting you dish away or helping do dishes. You may be in the place to load the dishwasher if you're trying to help. He won't do it or will ask if the person has a particular way. And as seen here, it's obviously an issue for many.

[Cutty72]

Yup, dishes go on the counter at home, or in the sink at friends.
At home the wife loads it. She yelled at me twice for "doing it wrong" so it is now her job. At other people's homes, I just let them do it.

[Apoc]

Ya, my gf gave me the 'thats not how I load the dishwasher' line ONCE. I told her that she could do all the dishes from then on. She quickly decided that I could load the dishwasher any way I wanted.

And guess what? The dishes still come out clean.

Its one of the very few things she has ever complained about though.

[HurricaneHeather]

I can't load dishes, he can't do laundry.
I suck at cooking Asian food, he sucks at cooking Mexican food.
I hate feeding the cats, he hates scooping their litter.

It balances out most of the time. :shrug:
