AIBU in thinking that men are irksome in their dishwasher loading methods

[Minimammoth]

1. They are always bloody right
2. Insist on re loading with strange priorities
3. Are unwilling to learn new ways.

Your experiences?

YABU to make silly generalisations about "men". As always.

What you'll find is that anyone who is not you will irk you by loading the dishwasher differently (what you call "doing it wrong").

HD - I don't come out of that scenario too well, do I?Stacked d/washer correctly but still get stabbed. And the alleged MrsPan is incapable of performing very minor duties without reliance on ethyl alcohol. ( this fact will later to be shown to be my fault as well).

Still, I DO swear in acronyms....TGMFBC.

Yes Pan, but as scenarios go it could rival Emmerdale

Pan, I am very sorry to have made generalisations about your testicles rendering you incapable of loading a dishwasher

dh has a stacking diploma (worked as stacker in a supermarket as teenager) and can fit double the dishes into the dishwasher where I would need to run the thing twice (only have a tabletop mashine).
same with suitcases, it is truly fascinating watching the huuuuuuge pile of stuff dissapear into a carry-on suitcase.

My DH is very good at getting the housework done. He is better than me.

But he regards the dishwasher as some kind of game of 3D tetris and crams it so full that all my favourite mugs are chipped. On such things are the grounds for divorce laid.

Truth is I have no idea how to fill and turn on a DW.

You're not helping your hairy brethren out here Pan

You just have to press the right buttons Pan.
I seem to remember before dishwasher, most disharmony amongst the children was around washing up, we have obviously created a vibe around the sink area. Either that or there is an evil dishwasher gnome. Oh sorry I may be being gnomist there.

He has more of a system than I do and is better about doing it regularly (he does pretty much all the unloading as I get bored). He isn't as good at getting as much in - however sometimes I put too much in and not everything gets clean. He is a lot better at actually doing any washing up in addition, though I am more fussy about rinsing soap off etc.

As a man who does the washing can I say that men are better than women at stacking
Wasing by hand I can stack twice as much as the wife on the draining board and loading the dish washer again I stack it lots better than she does

so there

My dishwasher just broke, and I am honestly no not really finding it the same amount of work just bloody washing the dishes and getting them out the way: compared with the loading stress, the unloading and carting about the place, and leaning down to put in/pick up dishes, then putting hands in disgusting filter area to take filter out and fish bits of meat and rosemary stalk which DP insists on putting into cooking whole

Oh but the stacking scenario. We can't even talk about it anymore without a note of annoyance getting into my voice

God I'm not alone! DH rearranges things I put in so I leave it to him now
