My wife is right....

[MargotDeeper]

Utensils go sharp end up in basket, other down?

 

[steinek11]

knifeys point down, especially if there’s clumsy people running through the kitchen

 

[Lincoln100]

spoons up, forks can be either, knives down

 

[bigboxes]

knives down, everything else up

 

[RBigredMax]

I put everything down so we don’t have hands touching the parts people eat with. My in-laws do the opposite. We are all still alive so I’m guessing it makes no difference.

 

[Laner2]

However the wife grabs them out of the sink is fine by me.

What happen to men?

OT, OP. OOOOHHHHH-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Redblood23]

I swear me and my wife were having this same conversation the other day

This is our situation too.

The issue with spoons down is that they can easily spoon, thereby causing concern as to the cleanliness of the spooning spoons

Forks, too and their tines can get stuck in the basket. I wash by hand, but let the dishes dry in the dishwasher.

What kind of man would ever admit to his wife being right??!!!

Sometimes I wonder if some of you are even the same species as me.

Baskets? You guys still rocking cassette tapes too? It's called a cutlery tray, welcome to the future.

 

[redwine65]

everything up for a quick glance of cleaness

 

[JOHNNY N]

This is only way.

This is the only correct answer. No more blood needs to be shed. A multidecade household war can come to an end with a simple trip to the appliance store.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I've spent more time thinking about this than I care to admit.

 

[SeaOfRed75]

At first I read it as my wife is tight. And I was thinking "hey good for you man".

As to the silverware. **** if I know. Only thing I do know is you are all ******** with ****** knives. YOU WASH QUALITY KNIVES BY HAND. Dishwasher knocks them around and dulls the edge. Heathens.

 

[V-Doub]

I agree with Op. I hang out with his wife a lot and she’s a smart gal…

[TampaBaySkers]

Everything goes down. Just makes common sense. I also put my glasses on top rack, plates on the bottom. any other brain busters?

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

We put everything handle down so you know what it is and feel it gets cleaner

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Then you grab the clean spoon by the part that goes in your mouth ? Logical

Great. Now I won't sleep tonight 🫢

 

[pascal_rivals499553]

That's all well and good, a better question is which burner you favor on the stove. Front-left for me.

 

[Dean Pope]

Yep. They get cleaner that way

 

[mgbreeze]

This thread makes me chuckle because I load the DW completely different than my wife. It's chaos if she partially loads it and then I go to put more in later, I'm like "WTF is this bull$h_t???" Bowls in the middle, cups on the side! Plates on the bottom facing right, not left!

You use the burner to match the pan.
More heathens.

You could take a black light to any of the doorhandles in your house or bathroom and you wouldn’t like what you see.

Same. I can't really be bothered to sort it after the wash.

 

[Spartanhusker]

I love this board

True.. but I don’t typically put door handles in my mouth

 

[Laner2]

Sporks demand we honor their right to be laid on their side.

Fascist swine.

 

[HuskerDana_rivals188993]

The correct answer is: Whichever way my wife puts them in there, then puts them away. Of course, that's after she makes me a sandwich and grabs my beer for me. I probably need to tell her, "Preferably though, they all go down just like you need to do later."

I can get away with saying that, simply because she doesn't have an account on here.
