I laughed for a solid minute prompting my partner to investigate. Can confirm this is truth and I Recieve regular scolding for my raccoon like behaviour.

I find that if the racoon people are tasked with unloading the dishwasher on a regular basis they slowly but surely learn why we don't set glasses face up or tupperware in with lid firmly sealed. I do step in to check that the sprayer arms aren't blocked though as that is a one and done for the motor.
Isn't the arm usually not turned by motor but rather by water pressure?
Yep for this very reason.
Oh, is it? We had one break that way when I was a kid (in the 80s) and I was told it was the motor. I haven't looked into it since. We just used the dishwasher as a dish cupboard after that and had to hand wash until that house was sold. Lol.
*household.
In my living situation i am single but have two roommates that CANNOT stack the dishwasher for shit. They end up running it twice on most days because they "cannot make themselves understand certain tasks due to having ADHD". 🤔
I am both. So is my partner.
We have ADHD.
On the plus side, neither of us judges the other if we come across a task poorly done.
Which is why she's not allowed to touch the dishwasher.
How lucky are you to live in a house where somebody other than you does the dishes.
You may not feel that way if you're the Scandinavian architect
I think some need to see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ymh8o6GI_g
Bloody hell, that was cathartic.
Thanks, you've brightened my day!
I have never felt more vindicated or called out before.
Gotta go fast.
Dishwasher full, dishes clean, task successful.
And both people think they're the first one.
I don't think "stacking" is the appropriate verb for how the high-on-meth raccoon types do it.
"Shove", maybe "pile", possibly "throw".
That poses the question, which one are you, Coley? Because you don't look like a Scandinavian architect to me...
confirmed, I am the racoon
I'm either depending on my mood.
I live with raccoons.
Untrue. My partner and I are both raccoons.
And either way the dishes get clean
False. U clearly don't live with one of the methed out coon gang. My wife puts measuring cups and similarly shaped / sized items in tf upside down so they just get filled with sediment water and grossness. Do better raccoons. Do better.
Clean often enough to avoid food poisoning or gastrointestinal problems.
Bro my dishes are physically clean before they even go in the dishwasher. As long as the dishwasher has soap and hot water my shits clean.
We don't have a dishwasher so everything is by hand. My complaint is with my wife who is great at many things but doing dishes properly is not one of them. I love her dearly but she's the kind of person that will see a bowl that looks clean on the counter and place it back in the cabinet with all the clean ones ... without remembering that we had used it for chips and it was lined with potato chip grease. I find plates, bowls, spoons, forks like this at least once a week and it drives me nuts.
solution could maybe be designating a staging area for dirty dishes so theres less ambiguity
Sounds like her problem isn't 'doing the dishes'. It's 'not doing the dishes'.
Hell, just leaving it where it is for whoever is going to actually clean it is better than that!
If it looks clean and is on the drying rack it can go back in the cupboard
Regardless of if it looks clean, if it isn't on the drying rack or in the cupboard, it needs washing again.
I'd go insane if my partner was putting dirty stuff back in the cupboards like that.
But I don't own a dishwasher... 😰
Then are you a sink piler or wash-as-you-goer :)
I have a dishwasher and somehow I'm both a sink piler and a Scandinavian architect
Edit: can't type for shit
At least you’re not a side table stacker like me shrug
My wife does this... she always wins too because I just cant leave dishes around and I think she knows it. But thats ok!
