Michael: Deanna, I'm sorry about the coffee. I've always left half-finished cups around. I just forget where I put them, and... Deanna: Michael, you also leave the toothpaste out and you put stuff in the dishwasher without rinsing it! Michael: Wait a minute! Suddenly it's "find a fault" week? Deanna: No, I just wanted to mention a couple of things you did that were bothering me. Michael: Really?- There's more? Deanna: ...I made a list.

Trust me, when you get married…. All the little flaws? They only get worse. But you love them anyway.

Actually, you’re not supposed to rinse the dishes, before putting them in the dishwasher. You’re supposed to let the washer do the work. Pre-rinsing wastes water (but most people do it anyway).

The original use for the dishwasher (as per the inventor) was to sterilize the dishes, not wash them. Very hot rinsing, then dry cycle. This reduced the handling of the dishes, thus reducing breakage.

There is a story of a couple, we’ll call them Abraham and Sarah. Her father washed had the dishes after supper, and his mother had washed the dishes after supper. When the couple got married, they each expected the other to do the dishes and didn’t say anything for a week. I think the official lesson is communication; I think the lesson is “talk about washing dishes on dates.” But how does a man bring that up without sounding sexist?
