So I accidentally used my wife's deodorant after a shower

[Duncanpup]

And now I want to get angry at myself over how I load the dishwasher

[Rorey]

1. LOL, I never cared how it got loaded

I'd just rearrange it before I started it, because NOBODY seemed to ever know HOW to start it.

[unblock]

2. optimal dishwasher packing is np-complete

meaning the time complexity likely grows exponentially with the size of the dishwasher.



somehow my extensive training and experience with computer algorithms never translates into effective techniques for loading the dishwasher or filling the car trunk with suitcases....

4. You got her a new deodorant, right?

I mean, it's the least you could have done!

5. I thought maybe

You were going to say Mr. Big Paws found you irresistible

6. Yes, but how do you fold the towels?

In thirds, or in halves?

[Duncanpup]

7. Thirds

13. There is only one proper way to fold a towel

Fold it in half lengthwise, then once (or twice if it's a bath towel) crossways. This way it's ready to be draped over a towel bar.

8. Ha ha...when I had a dishwasher the first time in my first home, I couldn't force me or

roommates to load and run the damn thing. Now in my 2nd home, it's wonderful! Doesn't matter if not loaded properly or not (well, there are a few rules but not many), it's nice to have to wash all of the dirty dishes and then put up at your leisure.

I even run it if there are a little over 1/2 of the dishes in there (like 2/3rd full). Love it, love it, love it!

9. In our home...

...I am the dishwasher...

16. Same in our home.

My wife does the cooking and I do the cleanup/dishes. I ask her to always just put any miscellaneous dishes she dirties in the sink, instead of the dishwasher, so I can load them "correctly."

10. Absolutely, positively the only thing she actually clenches her jaw about after all these years ...

... that and unloading the grocery cart at the checkout.

[Duncanpup]

12. My wife has a system

For unloading the grocery cart very logical unlike me her words

You are like a gorilla flinging shit you know I like the bread and soups separately on conveyor belt

I’m like Huh I never knew that

[marble falls]

14. Joys has arcane rules. She's not loading the belt, she's casting runes ...

... and then the chimp doing the bagging does what he wants. I do know this: keep my observations to myself and even then, on a need to know.

15. Hmmm

I thought I was fussy because I re-bag everything the high school kid bagged up (changing 15 stupid plastic bags into 2, simply by putting more than one thing in each bag) (they won't let us use our own bags bc of covid), it never occurred to me to care how they go on the belt!
