When putting the dishes from the dishwasher away, it is always helpful to ensure that they're clean, first. Otherwise you will have put away nearly all of them before it occurs to you that they are looking awfully dirty. Having the memory of a squirrel, you will have forgotten which dishes were actually JUST put away so you will end up washing a whole bunch of them by hand to make sure you got them all.
THis has been another Helpful Hint from heidi.

Dearest Rob:
Thank you for cleaning up after dinner and loading the dishwasher last night. If I could just add one more teeny step to that routine, I'd pee myself with glee. Can you please RUN the dishwasher, too?
MMMkay.
Thanks babe.

I'm fairly sure Nathan did this on Saturday.
Eh.
P.S. to Rob...be sure to put the detergent in the dishwasher, too! :-)
What is it about men that makes them do just enough to make them dangerous and no more.
I could have written that. Men are such sad creatures, aren't they?
Don't worry you are not alone. I have done this too.
I have totally done that before and gotten too far to remember everything that had been put away!
I am the sucky one who doesn't start the dishwasher in our house. Or apparently do the shopping, as my husband bought these fancy soap things for it, and I had no idea what they were.
my husband always announces - I RAN THE DISHWASHER
gee honey, you actually had the strength to shut the door, lock it, and turn the knobby thingy?
but i guess he does have one up on rob
Funny, mine thinks the dishwasher is the sink!
Not only do you actually have to start the dishwasher, and put the soap in, but it's best if you use dishWASHER soap, not DISH soap. Trust me. Trust my daughter. It you need to wash your floor, you can kill two birds with one stone. Well, except that the dishes don't get clean.
My husband asks first if the dishes are clean or dirty...because once he made that same mistake!
Why? Why? Why do they do that??? You have gone though the trouble of filling the darn thing..now take the leap and turn it on. My hubby does that EVERY freakin time. Seriously Profane, stupid and opposite of Sacred. (Yes I know it isn't Tuesday. I'm ok with that)
*sigh* I vaguely remember what it was like to have a dishwasher that actually worked...yk, other than my two oldest children. What it boils down to is the dishes can't get into the dishwasher (which is used as the dish drainer) unless someone has already washed them...but I can recall doing this many moons ago and it stinks!
Oh yeah, I feel ya! Not only do I have that problem but my guys won't pay attention to the little red light on the panel that announces that the dishes are clean and they BOTH will stick dirty dishes in the washer along with the clean ones and I'll end up having to run the dishwasher a second time...arg!
My husband loads the dishwasher and when it's full, he washes the rest of the dishes by hand, instead of running the freakin thing. UGH!
Good tip Heidi! We have had that experience around here, and also the one of people putting dirty dishes into the clean dishes in the dishwasher...
Have a great night!
XOOX

I have so done this before...it's kind of gross to grab a dirty spoon out of the drawer!!
