Then you bring it home, set it all up, and you realize your sink is too wide and none of your dishes fit in the slots.
The real danger is when you overload it because you put off doing the dishes, then the whole thing shifts because the screws have loosened, dumping all your shit onto the counter and floor.
So, like dating? That tracks.
Man that really fucks with me, I really quite like looking out the window and watching people mill up and down the street; check out the clouds; see the dog stare at me while he does a shit; or seeing which of the kids is finding new and inventive ways to seriously injure themselves in the garden.
It's a faint thread of contact with the outside world while doing housework 😊
Unfortunately my kitchen window stares onto a fucking wall of my neighbors. All wall. Not even a window. Just siding. I hate it and them.
I don't pay for water in this house, but I do pay for electricity. Diswashers way too power intensive. Also, I simply cannot afford a dishwasher
A rack on the other hand...
Said the "big tiddy goth GF" poster? Too easy, friend. 😝
Well I'm a gay man... The rack I need is big hairy meaty pecs
This is known, though the pun trail is undeniable...
Is sanitization necessary for dishes though?
I mean I don't want to eat off of dishes with bacteria on them but regardless there's no arguing that a dishwasher uses less water than handwashing. It's kind of hard to beat 3-4 gallons of total usage for both rinsing and washing an entire double-sinkload of dishes.
I assure you no matter what your dishwasher does your dishes have bacteria on them when you eat. Only reason to care about the sanitize mode is if you do things like grow mushrooms and want to get as clean a surface as you can when preparing components.
The number of people who believe there's such a thing as "no bacteria" and that it's healthy at all... is consistently disappointing. 😅
Absolutely not if you do a half decent job at washing them. Sanitary is a pipe dream anyway. The cabinet they're going in isn't sanitary. The air in the kitchen is full of fecal coliform bacteria. People don't wash their hands before they handle plates.
You can sanitize them submerged in the sink with dish sanitizer

I remember being young enough to believe affording this kind of stuff was still my future.
(It wasn't).
Haha, wow, you own one of these? That's, ha, well, are you busy tonight?
... wanna be?
I do not own one... can we still be busy?
Legit, the quality of life bump for getting a dishwasher is massive. You can even get a standalone version as a renter.

My wife just made me buy one after showing her this meme. We're both pumped about the space we'll save.
Hold onto that feeling, fellow mortals.
I wanted one when I was young. The apartment was overpriced and cramped. A traditional drying rack was later than the counter.
Now, I am old. I do not want one.
you mean as soon as you are old enough to do the dishes?
Have this exact one. It is great. Solid, grates are right sizes, somehow doesn't block the window either.
Post pic pls
In its glory 
Thank you

No nees for fancy weird plastics, that can make your dishes dirty with sink-water.
I prefer the one over the sink but built into a cabinet (Finnish style, I think?) for both clearance and living in an earthquake zone
Every thread about these racks is full of comments shitting on them, meanwhile I've been enjoying mine for years with none of the issues in the comments.
FWIW I live in a rental with limited counter space and no dishwasher.
I want one even though i have a dishwasher. we still end up with things in a drying rack that takes up counter space.
No thanks, things drop. I'd like my drying rack lower so anything that drops doesn't smash into a trillion pieces

I'm not going to lie, I got a over the sink dishrack after I first saw this meme like 2 years ago
I feel like I'll have anxiety of someone going to unintentionally knock it with a plate or a dish to start a chain reaction and I'll be watching anyone doing anything near it.
These look great in theory, but I find they clutter up your only kitchen sink where you can wash big pots and pans. A little side rack with a utensil holder works better. Honestly, even then, I'd still not bother with any of that nonsense and just dry all the dishes immediately.
Touch everything once instead of twice.
I'm handwashing until the day I die, big washing machine will never get me. Yell at corporations for their water usage, not me washing dishes for one once a week with zero electricity usage.
I too have butcher block countertops on my wall next to my window.
