From The Atlantic via Yahoo, a discussion about couples therapy and dishwasher loading differences:
• “In every relationship, there’s one person who loads the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect, and one who loads it like a raccoon on meth.”
The full article isn’t that great; it’s more fluffy filler-ish than I expect from TA, but maybe it’s from a “lifestyle” type section that I normally don’t read.
Good timing. I just made an appt for an eye exam, last done in September 2023.
Head on over to the dish washing vent
I just had a post cataract surgery laser posterior capsulotomy Monday. Got rid of the blurriness. Veryone I know who’s had cataract surgery, except for one person, has had to have this second procedure. Done right in the “office”. 5 minutes.
Yeah, I had that done several years ago.
There is a scene in the movie Rachel Getting Married in which the groom and the father of the bride compete to see who can more efficiently load the dishwasher. I cannot find video of it, so I attach an article about what inspired screenwriter Jenny Lumet to include it in the film.
What I remember is that at some point a character yells “get the schematic!” and I still yell this occasionally when I’m forced to rearrange things because someone lacks optimal dishwasher loading skills.
I’m a Bob Fosse dishwasher stacker, putting small or flatter bowls on the top rack.
Also, my responses to the questioms at the end are:
Do you overload or underload? BOTH. But mostly I Baby Bear it and load it “just right”.
Would you ever consider putting a cookie sheet in the dishwasher? NO.
Do you separate your cutlery by type, or do you just throw it all in? SEPARATE BY TYPE. My God, who ARE you people who throw cutlery in willy-nilly??? 
Also, forks & spoons & butterknives always up, steak knives or other pointier things down.
Weirdo! But I agree on forks and spoons up, non-sharp knives down.
I take that as a compliment and own it.
Plus I’ve been called far worse

I try to have controlled willy-nilliness so spoons aren’t…uh…spooning and forks don’t fork in the basket.
No steak knives in my dishwasher! I alternate spoons, forks and dinner knives up and down so there is no ‘spooning’ or ‘forking’. Dishwasher tolerable utensils go in the circular cup I have in the back or on the top rack. Nothing aluminum or cast iron, either. I had to explain that to the DIL.
“Wicked chickens lay deviled eggs.”
I need to find some wicked chickens.
Probably smart so there’s no hanky-panky going on in the shower behind the closed door.
I always hope the spooning soup spoons may produce some nice little teaspoons
