Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).
I grew up poor. My chore was dishes, for a family of 5. I was also diagnosed with ADHD but not properly managed. And often I was punished with "wash every dish in the house".
All that to say I spent a lot of time in the kitchen either hating washing dishes or procrastinating doing the dishes and hating my life because I couldn't go do something else.
Then in class one day our teacher asked the class what everyone's least favorite chore was, and one girl in the class said she hated unloading the dishwasher. The absolute gall.
I look at it as a chore- to make my daughter do since we need to give her chores. And she doesn't like to do it, so it's a chore for her.
Don't worry, there is still time. My sister hated loading the dishwasher, always dating girls and whatnot. But then in college she came to appreciate the dishwasher and now she is married with a kid!
My daughter may very well get married, but I doubt a kid will be in the picture without artificial insemination or adoption. We shall see what her opinion of dishwashers is by the time she’s out of college.
Hell I still do them by hand... Almost 40 years old and I live in a garage without a clothes dryer or a dishwasher and my fridge/freezer is essentially "babies first refrigerator" size. I can't even fit a regular tub of ice cream in my freezer lol
Wow Congress addressing the real issues. While we continue our brisk stroll into fascism.
This was an attempt by the GOP to stop improved energy and efficiency for hundreds of millions of appliances in the US, which will directly impact climate change.
This is 100% a real and urgent issue that dems had to address. The GOP acting like idiots doesnt change that.
Yes, that is a real and important issue. Talking about some congressmen snickering about some dumb shit a Republican said is not.
Reminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.
“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”
I think the takeaway from this statement is trump takes some massive dumps.
He flushes evidence.
Remember the time someone saw him receive a note which he read and then ate?
Correction: this is reportedly a very frequent behaviour
I EAT PAPER ALL THE TIME.
I Think You Should Leave wasn't meant to be reality.
I think he was trying to flush classified documents down the toilet.
Well yeah he is morbidly obese fat ass. I bet he also leaves shit stains on the toilet seat and doesn't clean it up like my coworker.
That's the joke, but the truth is even stupider. He hasn't experienced a low-flow toilet in decades.
We have one. The multiple flush thing doesn't happen. Having a different amount of flush for what you're in there to do helps.
Same with low-flow shower heads. Yes they did suck 20 years ago. They work just fine now. They're also helpful if you live somewhere which has low water pressure anyway.
I always knew he was full of shit.
As is his diaper.
That's why my old boss always had a pipe wrench in his suitcase: To remove the pressure reduction piece from the shower head.
He cleans his own messes! Self responsibility! OMG.... NOOOOOOOO.
Sounds like his dishes need to be seized to be redistributed
Besides being a privileged bitch this guy is a fucking idiot.
Probably didn't realize his dishwasher has a filter that needs cleaned, or he has a hard water problem.
Wait where is this filter?
Most if not all dishwashers have a filter in the bottom basin below the spinner that you twist counter-clockwise and pull out. Some, I believe, have built-in garbage disposals that may make a filter irrelevant.
(and no you're not a fucking idiot; I merely reserved such strong words for that asshole representative).
So if I have a garbage disposal I’m probably good?
If that's within the actual dishwasher, yeah. I'm not talking about the one in your sink. Do you have the brand and model of your dishwasher? I'll look it up for you if you'd like!
Someone forward this to him quick.
He'll have a staffer watch it, who then reports to him "you shouldn't be using liquid detergent." He will then bring a bill to make subsidies for liquid detergent makers to help ease their plight and continue complaining about "low flo" dishwashers.
