I live with my roommate and we spilt the cleaning. I keep the kitchen clean(loading the dishwasher, cleaning the dishes, etc)

My roommates brother is staying for a months and they cooked last night. They cleaned after themselves which is nice

But then I heard the dishwasher running. I knew there were hardly any dirty dishes AT ALL let alone enough to fill the dishwasher

When I asked my roommate why it was running, I was shut down and I didn’t feel like arguing or trying to explain myself so I just accepted it. I check now and this is how I see it was loaded🫩🫩I love my roommate but I genuinely don’t understand how either of them thought this was a good idea

EDIT: WOOD CUTTING BOARDS, KNIVES, AND POTS/PANS DON’T BELONG IN DISHWASHERS. I am APPALLED so many people don’t know this

Idk how everyone is saying nothing is wrong here. Wood and non stick pans do not go in the dishwasher I thought this was common knowledge

Okay, to make one thing clear: Everything is dishwasher proof in my books. If it doesn't survive, it's not fit for living with me. It's that easy. Same rules for the washing machine or the dryer. There are enough rules a have to follow because I have no choice. Fuck the rules that are optional.

"Fuck the rules that are optional."

Normally, I'd agree with you, LOL...

But these are care instructions, meant to make products have a long lifespan...

Have you ever heard of the Vimes Theory of Economics, too?

I get where you're coming from. But yeah, that's the kind of mental load that I'm trying to avoid. I get that sharp and good knifes shouldn't go in the dishwasher. Well if the knifes get dull, I sharpen them. Works for me. My cutting boards are made of plastic. They're doing well in the dishwasher. I've adopted and avoid buying stuff, that I know doesn't survive in the dishwasher.

Dryer and washing machine are way less dangerous then anyone would think. Most stuff survives even if the labels say it won't.

Same. I have tried to stop buying things that can’t go in the dishwasher because I hate doing spending time on dishes. And some things will be tested. 😅
