AIBU to put this sign on the dishwasher?

[lashingsofbingeinghere]

"Hi I'm a dishwasher. I don't have hands, or any kind of limbs at all, just a spinning thing that sprays water over your dirty dishes and makes them clean.

Technology is a wonderful thing, and yes they've got a rover thingy on Mars now gathering samples of rock, presumably with some sort of arm-like device, but back here on Earth, in this kitchen, in this dishwasher, no arms. Got it?

Sooooo...when you put your cups, plates, glasses, spoons yada yada on my top, I can't clean them! I know! How very pathetic is that, what a waste of technology, sending a machine to Mars to pick up stuff, when right here, in this kitchen, those arms could be doing something genuinely useful like stacking my racks

Witty. But a "PUT STUFF IN THE DISHWASHER NOT ON THE SIDE" might be easier !!

I had one that said, "Put the dishes inside, not on top. They don't go in by osmosis".

YANBU to put a note there but you are if you think anyone will read it, esp if you live with lazy buggers like I do

It's christmas - I am already too drunk to read that sign. What you need on this occasion is BIG SHOUTY CAPITALS.

I would copy your note and put it on my own dishwasher, but no one gets near enough to read it.

far too complex.

'fill me!' would work just fine.

Hmmm are you mean enough to serve up Christmas dinner on dirty plates?

A friend tried something similar. Yes people did start putting stuff in the dishwasher, but normally piled up on top of the CLEAN stuff from the cycle that had just finished a few moments earlier. Plus they wouldn't ever think "ooh dishwasher is absolutely full, shall i put it on?" (or even ask mate to do so) oh no, they would just wedge more & more things in balanced precariously on top of each other (sigh).

There's a sign on the dishwasher in the kitchen at work which says "I am a dishwasher" I always wonder if the other kitchen appliances will feel the urge to introduce themselves?
