Help me solve this strange mystery?!?!

I’m sorry but something happened last night and I will not move past it until the mystery is solved.

I loaded the dishwasher with the usual plates, cutlery etc and the last thing to be added was a big dish that the lasagne was in. I clearly remember putting it in there as I had to slightly manoeuvre it to get it in (it’s quite a big dish).

Any way………. The cycle finished. The dish is gone. Nowhere to be seen. Wasn’t in the dishwasher when I unloaded it. Not in the house.

What. On. Earth. Is. Going. On.

Either….. 1. I am crazy or 2. The dishwasher ate it.

There is simply no explanation.

You probably thought twice about it being in the dishwasher, washed it up and put it away.

Santa is sick of mince pies and wanted to lick the crusty bits off the lasagne dish. He put it in the oven

Was there a gap in the dishwasher where it should have been?

I've got one of those mysteries in my house - I bought a new swimsuit 2 weeks ago, tried it on, left it in my bedroom. Now, I can't find it anywhere - I've looked in drawers, wardrobe, washing basket, ironing basket, rubbish bin, bag of stuff for a charity shop. Nowhere!

Check your neighbour’s bin. Your dh started emptying the dishwasher, took the dish out first because it’s the biggest item, broke it (ours broke in two pieces when I took it out because there had been a small crack in it) and put it in either your or neighbour’s bin. Now he thinks you should stop talking about it of course because it’s not a mystery to him.

Check the filter, it may have shattered and be in pieces in there

How big is the filter in your dishwasher 😃

Either it wasn't put in or the husband knows where it is and isn't saying for some reason

Has to be in the dish washer, some how…

That happened to me once with a new bra, couldn't find it anywhere until months later I was decorating and needed to move some drawers, took the individual drawers out and somehow it had gone down the back and was stuck where it couldn't be seen

Is It in the sink, soaking in the washing up bowl, under the water?

Redebs · 11/11/2023 16:19

Is your dishwasher next to your washing machine?

Washing machines regularly do this to socks. The dishwasher had an idea to go one better...

I’m sure it’s already been said, but classic glitch in the matrix shenanigans. Lost my favourite ring in a glitch. Still waiting for it’s return…

ChocolateCinderToffee · 11/11/2023 16:30

slipped to the back of the dishwasher. This has actually happened to me. I thought I was going mad.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 11/11/2023 16:31

Husband broke it and daren't tell you.

SoMuchSimpler · 11/11/2023 16:32

Has he changed the oil in his car this weekend?

BillStickersWillBeProsocuted · 11/11/2023 16:32

Is it a glass dish?

Maybe the dishwasher did such a good job it's there but so clean you're looking right through it!

PupInAPram · 11/11/2023 16:35

Glitch in the matrix.

Conkersinautumn · 11/11/2023 16:35

Is it bigger than the washing up bowl? It could be in the sink under the bowl, avoiding being seen.

Guessing you've checked wherever it was you left the room to go (bathroom, utility etc). Always check the bin and recycling.

Doggymummar · 11/11/2023 16:35

Do you have a dog flap? Small child come in and borrowed it cos you were mean at Halloween? Sounds like the only explanation to me. Case closed. Move along people

Hippobot · 11/11/2023 16:36

Have you checked the bottom of the dishwasher under the bottom rack to see if there are lots of pieces of smashed dish?

larkstar · 11/11/2023 16:36

This. With mine it was stainless steel and I thought it had vanished because although I was looking at it I thought it was the back of the dishwasher.

MadeOfAllWork · 11/11/2023 16:40

I think we can discount other people getting in as one of you was in the room at all times.

Either you didn’t put it in - but if so where is it,
You took it out but have forgotten - but if so where is it,
DP took it out and hid it.

In fact, he is actually starting to get really annoyed at me for still trying to solve it!

That's his guilty conscience talking.....
