Listen, I've got like three minutes of enthusiasm for this job. I'll take an item and put it where it fits. Once both racks are populated the dishwasher starts. At least there's something in there getting clean.

I've never understood why some people simply must overfill the machine, ensuring that nothing gets properly cleaned. Literally just run the machine twice. It will still use way less water than hand washing, and it will do a better job.

"Properly loaded" means the dishwasher can still do it's job while loaded to maximum capacity. Just putting stuff wherever means you run the dishwasher more frequently which wastes resources.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely, though if you have to run it twice anyway you don't have to cram it full on the first go no matter what. But I've seen some truly horrific stuff, plates and bowls just stacked on top of each other, no way for the water to get in all the crevices

If only they disappeared when you got a line

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Stack them on top of a pole. Then give the bottom piece a slight nudge.

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That sounds dirty.

And fun

I love my better half dearly but I way prefer being the one to load the dishwasher, otherwise it's just anarchy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

We're both really good about strategic dishwasher placement, but my wife cannot understand that both bowls and spoons get separated by size. So I put the dishes away because THEY MAKE A FUCKING SLOT FOR THE BIG SPOON AND A FUCKING SLOT FOR THE LITTLE SPOON IN THE SILVERWARE DRAWER AND IT ISN'T FOR MAKING A RANDOM CHOICE GOD DAMN IT!

Okay, I feel better now.

I stack the dishwasher like a scandinavian racoon on an architect

[–] janus2@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

This exactly. I have rules. But adherence to and interpretation of said rules gets more chaotic as the dishwasher gets more full.

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And neither of them empties the dishwasher

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I keep two dishwashers. Then I have more room for beer and snacks in the cupboards

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I don't understand. Emptying it is the more satisfying task for sure. That being said, I also just leave the clean stuff ij there until I need it or alternatively until there is enough dirty stuff to fill a load. The system is flawless.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

That's not a nice thing to say about my wife.

One time password?

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

If only my meth-head racoon could empty the dishwasher once in a while...

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Scandinavian architect? Every item in the washer will be made out of mostly huge glass panels?

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 4 points 2 years ago

This feels like me Vs the world with my family

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not in a relationship but I can already tell that I'm the racoon.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Tbh I still don't know where some of the stuff is supposed to go.

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I want to send this to my girlfriend but it might be too aggressive lol
