Did you think I was going to discuss toilet paper roll placement? You silly fool, this is much more serious than that and any sane person knows the TP should be facing down. *eye roll*
Do you have the typical silverware set up in your dishwasher that fits on the bottom rack?
I know what you’re thinking: I’m proficient at shedding light on hard hitting topics.
We have that basket type at our GA house and while it’s not my first choice, obviously it’s been working for humans for many, many years.
This is what came with The Most Beautiful Dishwasher when we remodeled our house almost 5 years ago. {Miele} It has this secretive third rack on top for silverware. I love this dishwasher so much that I’m considering requesting it as my spot for eternal rest. It is the bomb at cleaning, has interior lights, you can knock on the outside to get it to open (although I always forget} and it fits tall wine glasses on the bottom rack like it was made for them.
It’s my favorite appliance. If it added money to the bank account via direct deposit, then the Coach could be worried about his place here.
Kidding.
Back to the standard. How do you arrange your flatware in the standard basket type?
My Uncle Alan (RIP) used to put forks with forks, spoons with spoons, etc…clearly, this is a faulty idea as spoons like to spoon but I never told him that he was insane to his face; instead, I just said so on my blog years after his passing.
We always threw ours in willy nilly, but facing DOWN like normal humans.
On this last visit to GA when I had much quality time with my girl Kelly, I noticed when I was emptying the dishwasher that I was being stabbed by forks and butter knives. I know, they’re for butter, but they are a bit sharp on my delicate phalanges.
I had to have a heart to heart with Kelly: “You do remember that one day when the guys leave us (and not by divorce) and we were going to live together in our final years? Well, I’m going to have to retract that plan unless you learn how to load the silverware without injuring me”
She tried to defend her actions by stating that the flatware is able to get cleaner with her method. I’m not buying what she’s selling.
For the duration of our visit, she came around to my method which is good ’cause I’d hate to have to throw away a 33 year friendship over something this trivial serious.
I suppose I frightened her with my threat because a few days after I arrived home this thank you note arrived in the mail.
And there was no mention of the Georgia dishwasher/silverware/incident of 2021.
So, do you load yours like a normal human, all facing down? Or are we going to have to break up?
