That's interesting, I have always loaded knives pointy side up, just like all flatware. However, the only knives that should be in the dishwasher are table knives and butter knives so they aren't exactly dangerous.


I rinse and scrub everything before putting it in. Dishwasher is basically just the sanitizer for the dishes. All utensils go down so nobody touches anything but the handle when unloaded. Except for the large cooking/serving utensils, the handles are long enough.

My wife loads it better than I do. And I want that to be a point of pride for her and keep it that way.

Blocking the spinning part with a giant fricking pan. Or putting in a large dish so that it gets tangled in the top rack.

same here. it boggles my mind how inefficient her dishwashing loading skills are, but i'm not going to complain about someone doing chores that i don't want to do.

the other thing is she'll take like an hour to vacuum the house. I have no idea what she's doing that whole time. I can vacuum the whole house in 5-7 minutes.

The not touching nothing but handles seems logical but not sure it makes any difference in reality, you touch the food side of plates when you remove them no?

If you are rinsing and scrubbing prior to places plates in the dishwasher you are doing it wrong, look it up if you like. Obviously pots and pans sometimes have to be nearly fully washed for a residential dishwasher but I usually just finish them and put them away.

You must mean that she's not doing it the way YOU think she should do it. Maybe try not being a condescending turd and you may get a better response.

Women and dishwashers.



My wife cleans the dishes cleaner than any dishwasher could before she loads them.

Funny you mention this because this is one of the examples I used in a thread not too long ago were somebody asked about husbands that publicly shame their wives.

I used my own personal experience to shed light on the frustration that occurs in day-to-day life with women that causes men to lash out at them in public.

I think specifically when it comes to the issue of loading a dishwasher, it's really a matter of gender difference as women typically score lower than men visuospatial tests .

When we were teens, we couldn't leave the house for anything fun before dinner dishes were in the dishwasher and running. We became masters of loading every single dish and pot. Lol. Good times. I have a PHD in the subject now.

Mine loads it fine but repeatedly puts dried caked on stuff in there and wonders why it’s not clean after.

Women are incredibly slow and inefficient at any type of physical activity.

It's frustrating just being around it because I often take the heat for it. We each have certain chores we do but I knock mine out in no time and kick my feet up on the couch so she gets mad and pretends like she carries more of the housework than I do because she has to spend all day doing hers.

I had a job like this once. And frick them, I'm gonna call them out because they pissed me off, it was Swift Assembly. It was a commission job where you got paid per completion of things like grills and bicycles in big box stores like Walmart and Academy. They'd give us a list of 20 or 30 items every day and we'd have to assemble them. I would knock that shite out so fast I'd be done in half a day and I would go home. Mind you, we weren't on the clock and we weren't getting paid by the hour and we weren't getting a salary for a full day's work.

The other fat, slow, lazy asses would get jealous and surprisingly, so would the store workers for some fricking reason that still boggles my mind. So they fired me, their best employee.
