Ok, I've been to Giverny...Monet had no dishwasher, of that I am sure. Pollock, he was a reclusive, with a volatile personality. Not the kind of guy who let a machine wash his dishes.

I actually tend to be the one asking if she is drunk when she loads the dishwasher because it makes no sense. It's also fascinating because she's actually a very good artist and knows how to fit things on a page. Perhaps her dishwasher loading is more Jackson Pollock and less Monet.

I hope she also tells you that she is "doing it right" and better than you, just to rub salt in the wound. I've heard that can happen

Absolutely. My wife consistently loads the dishwasher with no rhyme or reason. It shows a complete lack of spatial awareness and/or Tetris experience. Sometimes I think she does it on purpose just so I do the dishes more.

at some point I mentioned that I should replace the SpaghettiOs bowls I had with, like, adultish bowls. My wife ordered some (this took less effort than the minimal encouragement that most things take. I think she was realy looking to get rid of the SpaghettiOs ones). The new ones are huge, like plate sized, but with a bowlish shape. There is one slot in the dishwasher that is perfect for them. For one at least, but generally, that is all we will use during the week. I always put the bowl there, but she will move it to "where the bowls go" even though it is huge, not as deep as a regular bowl, and takes up space that could be much better used for other things. We will move it back and forth a couple of times before the dishwasher is run.
I wonder where my SpaghettiOs bowls are. They were really cute. I hope we didn't throw them away, even thought I will never use one again, and really should throw them away.

I think this confirms my feeling that a separate thread is appropriate.. I take this shit very seriously, as should you all

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Postprobably deserves a separate thread, and maybe move to hot topics....but damn, why can't people load a dishwasher correctly. Efficiency, not random dishes and glasses thrown around like a scene from a horror movie.

Thanks for checking in ! All good as far as I know. No shoe laces failures I recall in the last couple years. When it comes to shoe laces, no news is good news.
