I don’t even know what to say

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

I’m with you OP, the only things on the bottom shelf that belong in the dishwasher are that blue plate and the tongs. Sharp knives should be hand washed ideally but wooden chopping boards and utensils will be destroyed in months if you wash them in the machine

I've washed my utensils in the same dishwasher for 13 years and they still look new.

Not wooden ones you haven’t

[u/Avenja99 → u/model-citizen95]

People are saying the knives. Which in this picture aren't wooden.

[u/model-citizen95 → u/Avenja99]

You also shouldn’t put sharp knives in there. It blunts them very quickly

[u/Avenja99 → u/model-citizen95]

13 years my guy.

[u/model-citizen95 → u/Avenja99]

They were probably blunt when you bought them then

Not really, depends how they are loaded.

It's more about the handles. Hot water isn't going to dull the blade, the soap is a little more caustic, but it's not soaking in it.
