The common denominator seems to be having a parent that made them do chores growing up and taught them how to do it.


My ol lady grew up with out a mechanical dishwasher (we are both in our mid 30's, weird but she grew up in a neighborhood with houses built in the 50's). She can do manual dishes like nobodies business but concepts such as pre-scrubbing and loading the dishwasher correctly were completely foreign to her. It was cute and funny the first few months we lived together but that quickly faded. So, for the past 11 years after dinner the kitchen is my domain and nobody is allowed in there while im cleaning. Its become my "me time". I put my head phones in and drift off for like an hour. Its great.

Mine thinks as long as it’s IN the dishwasher it’s good and she gets aggravated when I rearrange what she puts in so the damn thing can actually do it’s job.

Saw Bill Burr in concert.

"Every relationship has the person who does the dishes, and the person who lets them soak."

A nervous hush went through the Mahalia Jackson Theater before the laughter. Because it's fricking true.

I cannot fricking stand waking up to garbage in the sink... a bowl or plate with food partially submerged in water. Silverware dipped in haphazardly.

My other peeve comes from working in retail and the restaurant industry. Not breaking down boxes when you put them in the trash. I can look in the kitchen trash can and there will be an empty box the size of the can's interior, taking up the entire space.

Off topic but I do not see the need for a garbage disposal. Why does anyone need one let alone spend hundreds of dollars on one

My wife (no pics) absolutely insists on putting knives and forks blades up in the dishwasher so you have to avoid getting yourself stabbed when unloading.

Wtf man did all women go to the same dishwasher school? She says “Spoons down, forks and knives up”. As if it makes a difference.

I put them all facing down and guess what… they’re all clean when they come out.

Further, dishwasher instructions usually tell you to put the utensils facing up (forks up at least) .The utensil baskets are often designed that way “.

Guess what… they come out clean no matter how you put them in there. So they’re going face down.

When its 100 degrees outside id rather have uneaten food chopped in to tiny bits and sent down the drain than rotting in my garbage can.

I never do that because inevitably the forks and spoons stack together and then don't get fully cleaned.
I've never had this problem. I'd have to intentionally nest the silverware into each other to get them that tight. Either that or I have an awesome dishwashing machine.
• Knives with points down
• Spoons shovel end up
• Forks tines up
• EVERYTHING sorted before it goes into the dishwasher
• All pots, pans, baking sheets scrubbed before they go in

Nah. Wrong method. Where do you think the word "spooning" came from? If your dishwasher does not have utensil slots, mix the utensil type in each compartment.


Spoons and forks go in face up / handles down.

Knives go in blades down / handles up.

Pretty sure there is an instruction book. I've never read it but I'm sure it says if you put 2x the amount of shite that youre supposed to you shouldn't bitch that the dishes come out dirty.

I’m sick of it too, you think you women could get your shite together so we wouldn’t have to spend the majority of our day unfricking your frickups?

That and then you touch the utensil with your hand to unload. I don't care how clean your hand is, it's stupid for multiple reasons to do it that way.


Not if you have a dishwasher that the utensil caddy comes out and opens.

Butter knives but all tableware tip up. A fork can stab as well.

It's not hard

Plates on bottom
All facing towards the middle

Silverware in silverware pocket part
All organized into correct type
Pointing up

Bowls go on top facing down

Cups and glasses go on top with big ones in back small ones in front

Pots and pans and heavy duty things also go on bottom

This not only optimizes how clean everything gets, but also optimizes how easy it is to put everything away. You can grab each organized bin of silverware and put it immediately in its spot in the drawer. You can easily grab a stack of matching plates altogether and put them in the cabinet in nearly one motion.

I have a disdain for wasting time doing menial tasks so I obsess about trying to make it as efficient as possible.

On a related note, this is why I purposefully fricked up a few loads of laundry (nice bras in the dryer, etc) when we first settled down.

No more Laundry detail for me.

That's how you keep your spoons from getting clean. I constantly have to put spoons back in for another wash when Ms Noonan puts puts all the spoons together.
