Remember its an honour to wash my Shreddies!

Originally posted by BigRed View PostI find most women (I never actually witness men doing the laundry) never think about how it actually works, that water gets squirted up from below and needs clearance around each item. Similarly they routinely overload the washing machine despite it being obvious that things need space to clean and dry properly.
Do you ever get the 'I've been washing all day' quote? that's at best sorting and loading for 5mins then wait 2 hrs, transfer to dryer, wait another hour.

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostAt this time of forced proximity to our nearest and dearest, here's a few hints and tips for you gentlemen.
1) Think about the ratio of positive to negative things you say to your partner
If all you've said over the last two days is:
You've loaded the dishwasher wrong
The brussel sprouts could have done with a bit longer
You've cross threaded the lid on the cranberry jelly
Did you have to put the sandwich toaster there?
You're treading mud into the carpet
Who finished the toilet paper and didn't bring a new one up?
You've put the butter back in the wrong place
You've tipped the Pringles sideways
Can you shut the door? You're always leaving it open
Don't be surprised if she doesn't fancy nookie tonight. (Or ever.)

I've heard loads of arguments from different couples re the female partners inability to stack the thing in an order that means the machine can do it's stuff.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostIt's a dishwasher, not a friggin' game of tetris.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThe only correct way to load the dishwasher is not to own one, unless you're running a hotel or have a family of ten.
The very concept is the height of absurdity, and it's just as easy to wash plates and cutlery in the sink.
Washing machines OTOH are the complete opposite, and a real Godsend.
