What a load.
The dishes in the sink, unrinsed waiting to be placed into the contraption known as a dishwasher.
The machine that washes the dishes after you have made sure that they are rinsed clean.
Now, my mother, as I will refer to her in this piece because mother fits better than mom when I am irritated, is a major offender of dishwasher ettiquette.
I don't mind cleaning up after anyone if they rinse their dish then place it on the sink if the dishwasher hasn't been emptied. Fine. Just don't leave egg yolk to sit and dry, PLEASE! Steak sauce sucks too. Pretty much anything thick liquid like. These products become a super glue that are NO match for dishwashers.
When something takes 2 minutes for me to scrape off with my thumbnail, the dishwasher just can't handle it.
Mother knows this drives me crazy as does loading the dishwasher from the front towards the back.
REALLY?
Pull open the top rack and when it's loaded down at the front with glasses ... you're waiting for an accident to happen.
PLEASE for the umpteenth time I BEG...when the dishwasher is being loaded over two days place the dirty glasses towards the back first.
And while I am talking glasses would you mind rinsing the last drop of milk before it solidifies into an impossible cleaning task that should remind you of cleaning out the bottom inside of a lost baby bottle..
But most of all Mother, please don't place burnt food skillets in the dish washer...EVER. Taking them out and re-adjusting all the plates takes longer than had I done dishes by hand.
Love ya ,mom.....take note siblings.
