I put dirty dishes straight into the Dish Washer. Then, when I need a dish,
I take it out and wash it in the sink. After eating, I put the dirty dish straight back into
the Dish Washer for safe keeping.

I usually rinse before putting the things in the dishwasher, in order to avoid the food scrappings from falling into the drain and potentially clogging it or becoming attached to the inside of the pipes and turning malodorous.

Anywhere I go I switch the toilet paper around.
Even more important, do you thread toilet paper so that it pulls forward from the top, like a civilized person does, or so you have to pull it forward from underneath, like a scurvy villain?
Due to pets, we can no longer keep the toilet paper on the holder or we will have it all over the house when we come home, so it goes on a shelf above the toilet.
It was almost as bad as "The Gate".
Almost, but not quite...
Dude that movie is amazing.
I saw that as a kid and the part with the dude in the wall freaked me out so bad it gave me nightmares. NOTHING gives me nightmares.I watched it maybe 3-4 years ago and it was still fawesome.
You ever see the sequel?

Weird. My cats got bored with that and stopped doing it on their own after the first time that happened. Evidently teaching each other to open latched doors was a much more interesting game for them.

Well, I'm sorry people feel bad about saying such things.
As I said, it was over 20 years ago. It's more entertaining that that movie was SOOOOO bad than anything else...
I personally find it utterly hilarious that I can hate a movie THAT much.

i had a conversation about The Gate with a childhood friend the day before his brother, who was my brother's friend, killed himself.

We definitely need a study here: Do appallingly bad movies cause suicides?
And I'm pretty sure there are two movies called "The Gate".
I'm talking the one where the kid used a model rocket (no, I am not kidding) to kill the demon and save his sister.
Suicide? I thought this thread was about dishwashers! (And when it comes to suicide, using a dishwasher is just not very efficient.)
You haven't been near one of the big industrial ones, have you?

I have and it only killed my desire to live.

That's the one.
It's awesome. Nuts to you.
Dammit!!! Spoiling movies like that!
The movie was spoiled before I got to it.

I rinse before I put in the dishwasher but mostly because it is sometimes left for a day or so. The kids on the other hand do not.
My wife does clean before the cleaners come. Which I find strange but do it to get along.
I have my own pet peeves though my nice knives they are carbon steel I don't like them left in the sink, water and rust thing as well as my cast iron pans which I scrub but don't use soap in them. I take them from the stove and run under water and scrub right then and there.

Gruumash, you are indeed Awesome!
Sounds *almost* exactly like my house. I've lost two beautiful carbon steel knives to people who know nothing about them, so now I keep them hidden and then diligently clean them and put them away the moment I use them. And people marvel at the patina on my cast iron pan and ask how I do it and I answer, "I care."
On the other hand, I don't like paying people to do stuff I don't mind doing, so I'm in the same camp as your wife on the cleaners: I'll do the dishes and fold and put away the laundry: You dust, scrub the toilets, clean the oven, and mop the floor. We'll get along fine...

After accidentally camping overnight in a faery ring, I used to spontaneously polymorph into a wok for weeks afterward. #WashDishes #FirstWorldProblems
At least I think I polymorphed... maybe I shouldn't have eaten the faery ring mushrooms?

That's not a problem, that's a feature.

Oddly enough, it was not usually the cats who are the culprits the few times we actually caught it happening, but the dog (a dachshund).
1. Scrape big stuff into garbage disposal.
2. Put freshly dirty plates straight into the dishwasher and wash immediately.
3. If plates sit and get caked with dried on gick (like lasagna and egg yolk), dust off and nuke the whole mess from orbit.
4. Settle new planet.

My hetero life partner tries to always eat over the sink. When I give him the standard mom line "It'll taste better if you put it on a plate and sit down at the table" he always says "Woody Guthrie ate over the sink."
If that seems cryptic to you, well, I don't know what it means, either.

Re: Woody Guthrie: "According to some accounts, he deliberately played the part of the rambling man, never taking off his boots, sleeping on the floor, and eating standing up over the sink." Remember that Woodie wrote the "Woody Sez" column for The Daily Worker, the official paper of the Communist Party USA, so invoking Woody's name sounds like an attempt to invoke Party solidarity with goblins everywhere.
Little-known verses from "This Land":
A sign was painted, said: "Private Property",
But on the back side it didn't say nothing.
This land was made for you and me.
One bright morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the Relief Office I saw my people.
As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if
This land was made for you and me.
Usually we only run our dishwasher every 2-3 days so I'll normally rinse off the bigger stuff in the garbage disposal (not scrub) and put it in the dishwasher and when it's full I run it. Given I might have to shift dishes around as I fill it over a few days I don't want to have to handle too much leftover food on the dishes/pots/bowls that have been in there for a while. When we have guests usually after the main meal it's full and we just run it.
