Just been told off by the dishwasher monitor!

I was informed that I was not spacing the breakfast bowls sufficiently in the dishwasher. Apparently this was advice my DH had gleaned from the Dull Mens Club! Need I say more

I recognise my own kind tee hee 🤔🥳

Mamie,

How dare you refer to me as a "Racoon", Madam.......

In every partnership there is a person who stacks the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect and a person who stacks the dishwasher like a raccoon on meth ……

I reorganise ours and have to empty as he puts everything in the wrong place and I can’t find them.

My monitor only dictates the setting!

We have a cutlery drawer - love it.

I don't have any strong feelings about how a dishwasher is loaded as long as nothing gets broken and the dishes come out clean. it's a job I would be happy to do regularly if required. My OH however claims that there is only one way to load a dishwasher and he knows what it is. If I loaded it he would only redo it so I leave it to him !!!
So he's got the job

A young child got impaled on an upturned knife in a dishwasher and died as a result. I remember it from several years ago.

Think you could do psychological profiling on using the dishwasher.
My DH has only put 1 plate in ever.
I think he thinks they are designed to make women lazy.
And he doesn't understand them at all.
However, he does now empty it for me but doesn't always check things have been cleaned properly.
My DD who lives with us has very strong ideas on how it should be done. And repacks my attempt often.

What is it with men and dishwashers!!! So pleased I'm not alone. They can get on with it as far as I'm concerned, life's too short.

Mine can't load probably and never unloads it. If I'm out for the day will wash be hand and leave on the drainer. Don,t rinse though just scrape leftovers into bin (or dogs bowl) & place crockery in dishwasher.

It seems to be common theme that men seem to think that they are the only ones who can load the dishwasher correctly. Mr. M is always telling me that I do it wrongly and should watch him and learn. I simply cannot understand how my inferior method seems to get everything clean so well.

My fridge freezer chastises me if I leave the door open.

Now, I have never had this problem, as I a) have never owned nor wanted a dish-washer, and b) because the same rule applied to washing-up as to driving.

In other words, the person actually at the washing-up basin or the steering wheel was in charge and no comments were welcomed nor tolerated from whoever was drying, taking up space in the kitchen or occupying the passenger seats of the car.

Fast learner!

My husband who had never lifted a cup before retirement is now the worlds greatest expert in how to load a dishwasher.It is annoying to say the least!

Why is it that only when OH empties the dishwasher the kitchen floor always ends up wet and slippery. ?

My dishwasher! My way! I have no DH so no problem. I remember once though, my mother told .me off for the way I had set up the ironing board and iron. She was right-handed and I'm left handed! To be fair she often helped ( unasked ) with the ironing. However I did reply - my house, my rules, my ironing board , my way!

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.....!

Have you checked the salt as our Siemens won’t operate if it gets low?We use all in one tablets but it requires the salt to work. Dh had to go through the instruction book to find this out. I was set to get a new one.

Yes, we used to have this problem with our Siemens. You can actually set it to use virtually no salt by going into the settings and telling it you have very soft water.

My dishwasher has a cutlery drawer at the top.
Other people look very confused if they try to help by loading the dishwasher.

Mine too, it's so much easier to unload if you put it in methodically.

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

Yes, this is what happens in our house too. He has gradually learnt what should not be dishwashed but if there's something new I might let him know whether it is d/w safe.
I think I could probably get more in per load but seldom interfere as I'm grateful to have it done.
If I'm cooking a meal for more than just the two of us he is promoted to sous chef!

Is thedishwasher the thing in the kitchen that clean stuff comes out of ? Never used it ..vaguely remember being told of about something when newly married ..haven't touched it since 38 yrs and counting

It’s a well-known fact. Men are best at dishwashers and bbqs. 🤣

..

Has been known to happen.

I read about a few deaths in one year (one an elderly lady and two children) when buying my first dishwasher. Immediately, chose a machine with a top cutlery drawer.

That was over 30-years ago. Now on my third.

Much prefer the layout anyway.

Only I can load !I dishwasher! My DDiL isn't seen for dust when I arrive. So the kitchen is mine! She usually gets about 4 things at a time in the dishwasher. DD quite happy for me to load hers.
