Settle a dishwasher debate

All of this plus you won't get stabbed emptying the dishwasher.

I don't know, she complains when I rearrange the dishes in the dishwasher to fit more in and make sure the bowls aren't laying on top of each other.

I’ve actually had tense “debates” with my wife on dishwasher loading. Nothing pisses me off more than lazy loading.

Whenever Mrs. GreenWay loads the dishwasher, it must activate my latent OCD tendencies. Add to that my German engineering, and I usually wind up reloading the whole dishwasher.  Thankfully, it’s never a tense moment. I can laugh about myself needing to rearrange everything to my specs.

You don't want to be grabbing the part that's going to be in your mouth... So you don't eat fruit or anything with your hands ever? How did humans survive before utensils?

And stab yourself? Do you just blindly reach in with a club hand?

Lol yes I eat fruit with my hands. But when it comes to grabbing silverware I guess I just prefer to grab the end that is meant to be held with your hand. Do you fill it with the fork side up? How come?
