If you breathe a word of this to Lloyd, I’ll deny everything, but I’m admitting that I have PDLS. (Poor Dishwasher Loading Skilz) It’s no trouble when the thing is empty – duh, the bowls go there and the cups go there, etc. But start off with something weird – like ladles – and everything goes south. I’m just jamming stuff over the course of two days and hey – it’s all gonna get splashed anyway, right? 
Ok. I was so embarrassed by that photo I actually re-loaded the dishes. 
Hey – some of those dishes already look pretty clean. Did I run this already? *sigh* whatever
You should just always run your dishwasher on Tuesday and Friday, whether it’s full or not. Even if it’s empty. Tuesday and Friday. It’s what Al Gore would do.
I just always run it when it’s about half full. It’s what I would do.
*sigh. I wish I had a dishwasher.
I wish you had one too. Oh, and world peace.
I’m a Dishwasher Loading Snob, too. I’m not suggesting Lloyd would call himslef that, but that’s what I call myself concerning my loading abilities and insistencies.
D.L.S.
Snob here too. In fact I try really hard not to reload some of the stuff Sam loads. I am getting better at that – better to have him load than not. (I keep repeating that when I want to redo everything.) In my world dish loading snob would be referred to as OCD!!!
I sometimes reorganize, but I very rarely comment on it. And I would only comment to the kids, to teach them the right way, of course.
As a teacher, Sam would appreciate that wouldn’t he? (Teaching the kids?)
Yeah, the whole “teaching the husband” thing often doesn’t go really well.
Were you able to get more into the dishwasher after you organized them?
Not only can you fit more dishes inside; it also looks right.
Looks right, schmooks right.
Well, I like all my dishes going the same way (just like cash, I hate when I get back change and the bills go every which way)I like everything neat & orderly. BUT, if you need to add another layer of odd dishes over the neat layer because you got backed up or because there are odd pieces, just throw them in any way, close the door quick & run. (the dishwasher)
Too much time on your hands!
It’s avoidance!
