None of my family can pack the dishwasher correctly. I've tried to run workshops to teach them, but nobody ever shows up.
In every household there are two people: one who loads the dishwasher with the precision of the engineer who designed it, and one that acts like a raccoon on meth. 
there was a post that every household has someone who loads the dishwasher like a tetris champion and someone who loads it like a rabid raccoon.
apparently i'm the tetris in my household; sounds like you are too.
@[email protected] That, and also the thing about the right way and wrong ways to load the dishwasher (assuming the goal is to get the dishes clean and not just, I don't know, hide them for awhile).
