I hand wash all of the dishes and flatware I use for myself, but as far as large pans or bowls used for serving, I soak those that have difficult to remove things, like cheese or sauces, for at least a couple hours. A simple rinse is unlikely to dislodge them.

It's hilarious how people can heatedly argue about something as pointless as rinsing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
I love it.
Or about rules minutiae in a recreational fantasy game...

Now this California is the place where everybody lives in a desert sorta but they all have pools in the back yard, right?OK. This is a HUGE bone of irritation for me, since I live in drought-stricken California.
Everyone says, "Rinsing is a waste of water."
That's SOUTHERN California. As far as us northerners are concerned, that's a different COUNTRY, much less a different state. We keep trying to secede, but they outnumber us by a few million...
EDIT: And those in central valley and the "true" north would love to kick out the Bay Area as well, so we really should be 3 states...
EDIT 2: Aaaaaand... cue a YellowDingo petition...

I just throw them in the dishwasher. If they are dirty still, I run it again. Waste of water? Maybe, but its water that I am paying for.

I'd even sign that one.
Rinse, then wash. It's the only way to be sure...
Nazi science sneers at dishwashing technology!

Luxury!

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?
Yes, I rinse the dishes first. Which I firmly believe is both:
* Absolutely necessary, and
* A complete waste of time.
Which is why I completely ignore the dishwasher and just hand-wash everything. Seriously. I have a dishwasher and it probably hasn't been turned on in 12 years.
EDIT: It somehow disturbs me that, in the time it took me to post this, it ended up appearing after a discussion of toilet paper. Adding the words "the dishes" above to clarify... :)

If you have a toddler, then paper that pulls from the top can very quickly become unrolled paper in a pile on the floor. I prefer it on the roll.

Toilet... paper? The truly civilized use prestidigitation. :)

If your toddler is the four-legged meowing kind, it doesn't matter which way you thread the roll... still ends up in a pile on the floor. At least the human toddler will grow out of it in a few years; feline toddlers never seem to.

Don't you need to see it to target it?

Just so I can sleep at night, I refuse to believe anyone has ever actually done this.

I am the dishwasher.
Yes, I do.
Let me tell you, they don't go in easily and for some reason don't come out any cleaner, no matter how much detergent I swallow. What am I doing wrong, Paizo?

I always rinse my dishes immediately after using them, even (especially!) if they're not going directly into the dishwasher. I refuse to scrub them before putting them in the dishwasher, though. If I have to scrub, then I may as well just use some soap and be done with it. That's the dishwasher's job. 8^)
When clearing dishes off the table, I rinse the larger, left over chunks and sauces off of them and place each dish in the dishwasher.
After that, I have no idea what happens to them.
.
Dishes???!!?
I usually soak pots/pans with a few inches of soapy water before loading, but otherwise we're a rinse and load as you go house. Dishes never stack up in the robot house. Rinsing is necessity because foodstuffs get caught in the drain towards the back of our dishwasher. It's a super bummer to start unloading a load of dishes with dried on flakes of dishes past when you expected them to be clean.
CLEAN ALL TEH THINGS
And here I was expecting Chris to be yelling at us! :-P

My philosophy has been to have exactly one of each dish I need, so I simply don't have enough dishes to pile up. If I want to use something, I have to clean it instead of just grabbing a new one.
Strangely, my fiancee does not appreciate this logic.
No, I don't. They usually come out just fine.
I wonder if Hitler scrubbed his dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.

This is my MO (for the most part - if i'm off for a few days this policy is put on hold as does the single dish washing).
In the Auxmaulous household I wash the dishes... and then strangely enough my finacee washes them again.
It could be that I'm just doing it all wrong.
This thread makes me think of that dead babysitter movie, where they blast away with a gun and say, "The dishes are DONE, dude!"

Morbid side story on that: My best friend and I tried to watch that movie in a theater when I was trying to cheer him up (manic-depressive in a major down cycle). We walked out on it. That cheered him immensely.
A week later he committed suicide. (1991, so not a particularly painful area for me any more; just 'something that happened that shaped my life'.)So I'll always have a fundamental, deep-seated loathing for that movie. Go figure.
I'm sorry for your loss. Of all the movies I'd have though would be a trigger for anything, that wouldn't have made the list until now.
NobodysHome, I'm sorry for your loss.
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.
It was almost as bad as "The Gate".
Almost, but not quite...

Only as a final solution.
Quoth the raven.
Standard dish formation.
I don't have water.
