How to Load the Dishwasher

You better not screw this up

You are such an idiot. Your method of loading the dishwasher is so insane it borders on psychotic, and I simply can’t take it anymore. If you don’t straighten up your act, I will kick your teeth in and demand a less-than-amicable divorce.

But, listen. I’m here to give you the benefit of the doubt and give you some instruction on how to properly load this dishwasher.

This is your last chance. If you can’t follow these simple rules and regulations, you will be served the appropriate paperwork.

Lesson 1: Place the silverware in properly.

The silverware faces up. How hard is this to remember? What’s that? You don’t want to unload the silverware by touching the part that goes in your mouth? I think you're just being difficult like you always are. Put the silverware in there facing up. Do not fuck with me on this. If I see even one spoon in there with the head resting on the bottom of that basket, I’m gonna use it to dig out your stupid eyeballs and put them down the garbage disposal.

Lesson 2: If the dishwasher is dirty, put the stuff from the sink in it.

DO NOT hand-wash the dishes in the sink. That’s what the dishwasher is for, dipshit. The fact that you actually hand-wash the dishes sitting in the sink even if the dishwasher is dirty makes me wonder how I ever could have loved you. That’s like taking a shirt from the dirty laundry hamper down to the river to beat it with a rock. What is this? 1839?

Not only that, the half-empty dishwasher starts to smell because you never cleaned out the trap like I asked you to 153 times. I swear you actually want me to hate you.

Lesson 3: If the dishwasher is clean, empty it.

For the last time, the medium melon-baller goes in the middle section of the third drawer to the left of the stove. How long have we lived here? Eight years? That’s not long enough for you to know where the fucking melon-baller goes? And what’s with this pile of Tupperware and spatulas on the counter? I told you a million times, if it has a loop, it goes on the hooks on the wall with the similar utensils. If it doesn’t have a loop, it will fit nicely up your ass if you don’t put it in the correct drawer.

Lesson 4: Space the plates and bowls properly, moron.

Listen, ass-lord. There better be at least a half-inch between each plate, so the jets can properly do their job, unlike you who can’t seem to change a light bulb without doing something stupid and hurting yourself or getting it stuck in your rectum.

You shake like a leaf when I watch you, and you are always sweating and dropping tools. What? Do I make you nervous? Do you think I’ll bite your head off? I’m your wife, you little fucking petunia. Grab your little tool-purse and get the God damn job done before I show you what it feels like to chew on a my size-7. They don’t call them Gladiators boots for nothing.

If I have to get out my ruler and explain this again, you will likely find yourself chewing on the curb for dinner.

Things of note:

— All the cups must go on the top shelf. Coffee cups go on the far right side, ordered in size from back to front, small to large, respectively. — Tupperware does not go in the microwave. I don’t want fucking spaghetti sauce flavoring my roasted cod with cannellini beans. — Don’t forget the Jet Dry, Einstein. If I see one spot on my wine glass you’re getting the Nancy Kerrigan treatment. — No steak knives in the dishwasher. They’ll get ruined and I’ll have to use them to gut you like a deer. — Pre-rinse the dishes or I’ll pre-rinse your colon out with a fire hose.

I think that’s all for now. You better remember this stuff or you’ll be praying to your God for mercy while spitting out your Chiclets.

Do you feel dominated?

Shut up.
