Dish drainer

I think my biggest pet peeve in the entire world involves dishes. I absolutely cannot stand when people put dishes in the dish drainer (or if you're fortunate enough to have a dishwasher) carelessly. I have yet to live with a roommate who doesn't do this, so maybe I just care too much about it. For instance, plates neatly stack together and can fit nicely if you stack them next to each other in those little slots. They dry fine if they're close together. And think about how much easier it is to put them away if they're all stacked next to each other?!? Bowls can hug each other (slash spoon?) and fit nicely together too. Ugh I just unloaded the dish drainer and everything was carelessly thrown in it and everything was still wet even though it had been drying all night. It was awful. I'm literally still cringing. Plus most of it was still dirty. And one of my roommates doesn't exactly put things away he just leaves clean pots and pans on the stove. BOYS.  The kitchen is cluttered enough as it is so put things away and it will look cleaner! When it comes to the dish washer, the top shelf is for mugs, glasses and cups as well as plastic things that would melt if on the bottom shelf. The bottom shelf is for plates and bowls and if need be other things to fill up the dishwasher so you can run it. For some reason I don't like washing things like pots and pans in the dishwasher. It freaks me out. And the counters need to be wiped down after cooking anything. I don't trust them most of the time. They're dirty with bacteria and who knows what food particles. Ew.

I think I need to live alone or with one person who I can teach these rules to so I don't freak out every time I'm in the kitchen.

  1. One of my roommates does not seem to understand that if you put stuff in the dishwasher that has food burnt or stuck to it, that food isn't going to come off. It drives me crazy to keep pulling things out of the dishwasher that are still dirty even after it runs.
