My job involves teaching for most of the day, and around mid-afternoon I go do do other parts of my job. Every so often that involves loading the dishwashers with the snack dishes. Today was one of those days.
There were too many dishes for one washer, so I unloaded the clean dishes out of the other. It was going along swimmingly until this stupid fork ruined my day.
I did battle with it for several minutes and got hotter and hotter with exertion and anger. I finally stopped to turn on a fan before I exploded with heat, and that’s when I snapped these photos to tell you this dumb story.
With much forcing, the fork came out. Then on to the rest of the day.
May your day be stuck-fork free. 🙂

That is one of those things that, if I were doing it, I’d get more and more frustrated, then someone else would come along and pull the fork right out with no effort at all.
Lauren says
Yes, I thought the same thing.
Peggy says
Wow….you show much more restraint then I would have. I would have yanked & pulled until the whole tray ripped out; but that bloody fork would still be lodged. (I’ve actually done this at home)

I thought of this as I read your story. “Out d…. fork, out I say!”
