If your nearest-and-dearest packed the dishwasher like this ...

[longsuffrin]

... would you say something?

I have done (often) but it's not getting me anywhere because he doesn't agree it's a problem.

I should add that, when I switch it around, I can usually get a lot more in.

Genuine question - how else would you stack those bowls? I don’t have a dishwasher but whenever I’ve used one it’s always looked like this when I fill it

I would restack it and I'd definitely not run a whole cycle for just that few dishes. What does the top rack look like?

I was just about to write the same thiñg. My dh has to have the dw stacked just so. I let him get on with it.

get yourself a different set of bowls. those are impossible to pack in.

I agree, I have two bowls left like this, I have been phasing them out! a nuisance to try and put in so I hand wash with the pans and plastic

Those bowls aren't dishwasher friendly.

I’m going to screenshot this and if my DP ever gives me shit again for how I load the dishwasher.. I shall show him this. Thanks OP, I now feel like a domestic goodness in comparison to this 😂😂

That would drive me nuts! 😳
I’d have to re-stack!

Great for pasta though. 😁

I usually put them in the top tray.

I feel your pain. An example of dishwasher loading chez moi.

I see my MIL has dropped in to "help" with the dishwasher in your house too.

Yep, sometimes.

Some people pack the dishwasher like Swedish architects others like a raccoon on speed. Me I'm a Swedish architect and my husband is definitely a raccoon on speed.

How do the perfectionists/anal stackers/people who need a life stack those bowls?

Dishwasher Tetris is a great game as long as you're not the only player.

I'd probably stack those bowls on the top rack with spacing in between or in the mugs spot along the side of the top rack

Your nearest and dearest needs to be retrained.

Awful, I do not let my husband load the dishwasher exactly for this reason, he unloads it I load it. X

🙄

Everyone in our house refuses to stack the dishwasher now because they know I always empty it and restack it. I've made a rod for my own back, but I don't mind because I am the best dishwasher stacker. 😀

I also rinse my stuff in a bowl of hot soapy water before dishwashing it too.

Patio.

I’m in the Swedish architect camp.

@Copperoliverbear doesn’t that defeat the object

Interesting, is that the top shelf? If so plastic thing ok, if bottom in ours it would be risky. However, if top shelf things wouldn’t come out clean
