Would someone please help a fellow DUer out by providing some knowledge?

Let's say you live with a spouse/partner/friend/roommate/whomever.

You are the person who is responsible for loading the dishwasher.

Does the other person whom you live with walk over to the dishwasher after you are done loading it, put their hands on their hips, shake their head disapprovingly, and then start rearranging the dishes and glassware that you just loaded by essentially picking up each piece and placing it back down exactly where you had originally loaded it?

I was just wondering if there is some kind of magic voodoo fuckery involved with loading a dishwasher correctly that I am not aware of.

Thanks in advance.

1. Is this the person who unloads the dishwasher?

They may have some priorities on loading that make the unloading easier.

2. I presume its a fetish.

As a former loader, i was also usually the person to unload. i also had the most dishes. Unloading the knives and forks was my concern. Therefore, loading the dishes was my concern.

other stuff, less to near zero concern.

If i had a big pan, i might reload to squeeze in a couple more plates.

3. There is a non-solution

Consider washing the dishes before loading them. Then enjoy watching how the other arranges clean dishes.

4. No magic, IMHO

But if that is a pattern, I think the household duty assignments should be rearranged. No one should live where they are constantly put down for the way they do something.

11. Then I wouldn't do any housework at all.

My husband once criticized the way I cut up a tomato.

16. Good lord.

Did you keep him?

5. My mom used to say that having a family is a well thought out mistake, until you try something else.

She went on strike once, stopped doing housework, and insisted that everyone call her "Matilda" if we wanted her help to do anything.

I, my dad, and my two brothers held out for exactly one day, because she threatened us with even more severe sanctions.

She was 5'1" and pure evil.

I miss her everyday.

6. The average human skin weighs about eight pounds.

Oh, sorry, you were looking for some specific *kind* of knowledge.

Never mind !

7. Is it the wife? You lose.

8. Load - Shut - Start. Problem solved.

[Effete Snob]

14. Yep

[Harker]

9. Of course.

[beaglelover]

10. Yes, my husband has a particular way he likes to load the dishwasher. If I put

something in there, he will move it, every time. So now I just leave my dirty dishes next to the sink and he loads them into the dishwasher.

12. My husband is in charge of loading the dishwasher (and all the other washing)

But sometimes I notice that he's put something in a way that will not allow the water to get to it efficiently, so I move stuff around. I do it less now with our new dishwasher since even when I don't notice problems, everything ends up clean.

[Effete Snob]

13. Yes

If it makes that person happy, so be it.

15. The person who loads and unloads my dishwasher is a complete imbecile. Gets it wrong every time.

P.S. I live alone.

That said, if you can't wash in stealth mode(1), perhaps just clean dishes by hand before putting them in the dishwasher.

I will sometimes do that if something looks burnt on. No amount of soaking replaces elbow grease.

If anyone asks (here comes the conspiracy theory), say that hot recycled water spreads covid. Or that the municipality put your dishwasher on double secret probation .

If you need a scientific paper as proof, I'll write one.

(1) share some wine, lots of it, and load up the dishes right after your SO nods off.

17. I load, she unloads

I get very few complaints, only when something doesn't come clean or we need rinse agent added.

[doc03]

18. They make dishwashers now? nt

[ret5hd]

21. In my day you had to "make your own"...

they were called “children”. They weren’t very good at it and they were very expensive. Surly and churlish.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I was “dryer”.
On Mondays and Wednesdays I was “rinser”.
Friday Saturday and Sunday I was “washer”.

[Mr.Bill]

19. My grandson's wife is like that.

We don't live there, but we know if we are helping out in the kitchen, we don't fool with the dishwasher. Her husband knows this, too.

[dameatball]

20. Stick to your guns or next they will put the silverware away backwards. Don't give an inch.
