Just been told off by the dishwasher monitor!

WTF??
It’s been scientifically proved that men can’t load a dishwasher properly! 😂

I’m always being told off!

I gave up trying to meet Himself’s exacting standards years ago.

😁

I throw it in, my OH sorts it in order, result!

Told off, yes, often. I still load the dish washer my way. If DH wants to reload it and waste time, so be it

I only have a tiny dishwasher (a present to my grandsons who used to complain about my washing up)

So, I shove it all in like a game of jenga, then get told off for that, too.

I also load it "wrongly" yet however it's not MY loads that come out needing a rewash because they were overloaded

If I ever do it, dh rearranges it to stuff more in. So I nearly always leave it to him now.
He does also unload and put away in the morning, so I’m not complaining!

I get told off by my children for putting knives in with blades upwards. I started this after 2 cutlery baskets got damaged by having sharp objects dropped into them. Apparently I am risking death by stumbling and impaling myself on a knife

Pass the job on to someone who can do the job properly and sit and have a cup of tea!

Indeed. I know my limitations in this area!

Mr C has handed the job over wuth pleasure 😂. He’s encouraged (allowed) to empty it though. .

My OH rinses everything so well that I wonder why I bother with the dishwasher

My husband regards himself as a dishwasher operator extraordinaire! before any piece of crockery is placed in the dishwasher, it has to be rinsed, although I'd say washed, which has led me to ask what's the purpose of the friggin' machine then! When I have the temerity to place a bowl or plate in it, which apparently I don't have the expertise to do correctly, I can never tell whether what's already there is clean or dirty, they're either reasonably clean from being rinsed washed first or very, very clean from having been through a cycle.

I just let him get on with it! What is it with men and dishwashers

Our dishwasher ordered us last night to turn off the water supply to it. We've never seen this error message before!

Just as you repair one appliance the next one breaks down.....!

It seems I am the dishwasher monitor as I reorganise the distribution of items in order to get more in. Certain members of my family take this as criticism..... There was a particular altercation, however, when I saw one of the said members loading 4 very large dinner plates face down in a small self catering apartment's dishwasher - which was surprisingly tiny for the 8 people staying there - 'to rinse them'....I simply had to intervene....... although I had promised myself I wouldn't this time..... Said person left in high tears. Lesson learned?

Left out vital sentence explaining I reorganise the contents even after I've loaded the dishes in sometimes.

Always been a smile-raiser here!

I cook and DH clears up - he is dishwasher monitor and very well he does it too!

Same here.
Apparently there is a logic to it.🙄

Same here dragonfly, if he’s not in I’ll do it, no discussion afterwards either.

Yes, but not the same logic as mine 🤭

Mine usually loads the dishwasher. I reorganise the bits he's done wrongly if I put something in, because I know best. I don't interfere with him emptying it though

It seems I am not alone
