Ahhhh, yes the dishwasher. A constant battle in my house. Not between me and the wife, but with the wife and her own brain. She'll wrestle with arranging things so perfectly 3 times before running but then ignore the piles of random clutter she has collecting in six different places within sight of the washer.

I load the dishwasher in the correct fashion the same way every time that maximizes getting our specific dishes in there in a way that gets them clean. It also happens to look organized and is easier.

My wife and the nanny load it completely differently every single time, it looks like a blind raccoon loaded the dishes and it's always new and perplexing.

I don't know when it happens, but I hit like 35 years old and the dad switch came on and now I just can't stand half the things people do in this house

You and the missus need to do what the Cascade commercial said and "do it every night".

These people say that they "do it" every night like clockwork, right after dinner... and especially after meatloaf. One young woman says that even though she lives alone, she still "does it" every night -- runs her dishwasher, that is! Cascade says that with its Platinum pods and an Energy Star certified dishwasher, you'll use less than four gallons of water per cycle, while hand washing dishes uses that much every two minutes.

I have no idea how “dishwasher loading technique” is such a contentious topic in marriages.

Do the dishes come out clean?

Yes?
It was loaded correctly.

No?
You did it wrong.

It’s about as black and white as can be.

I’ll have to think about it. Don’t wash your dishes until you hear back from me.

When you hit 60, you'll give 0 effs as long as you don't have to do it.

You have a Yeti cup in there- you're not poor enough to worry about the $0.17 cents it costs to run with a few empty spaces

The flaw in your logic is that we all know no one has ever bought a Yeti product; all of them are acquired through giveaways. As a result, the possession/ownership of Yeti products has no direct correlation with being a poor or an unpoor.

baw! get that Yeti out of there!!!

Timeout.

Are we not supposed to put our Yeti's in the dishwasher?

Dang baw, you sure you ain't mixing up the dishwasher and the microwave?

I wouldn’t wait, that shite is getting cleaned

For sure the gasket, but the kids usually take my new tops anyway
