When filling the dishwasher i mentally warn the items going in that they might get moved if something more deserving of their spot comes along. I like to prepare them for the possible disappointment.
@fesshole Emotional intelligence but for cutlery.

@fesshole ah yes, losing a prime cleaning spot would be very dish-appointing.

Sorry.

@RoboRev @fesshole Reminds me of my favorite knock knock joke.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Dishes?
Dishes who?
Dishes Sean Connery, let me in!

Also sorry.
