Wedge those macaroni-and-cheese covered plates, butter-smeared knives, and sticky glasses in there sideways. Stuff in the stained Tupperware and double-stacked sandwich containers and then balance a crusty casserole dish on top.
Now if you think you’re done, you’re not even close.
No, now it’s time for the mad dash around the house grabbing leftover glasses from the bathrooms and greasy popcorn bowls from the basement. Then you have to come back and rearrange the clinking, clanging mess like a 3D jigsaw puzzle.
Don’t stop until everything’s jammed, rammed, and crammed.
And then stuff a few wooden spoons in the sides.
And a couple more forks.
And the can opener.
AWESOME!

My nan is amazing at this. She’s like some kind of Tetris-master.
…If, you know. There was a Tetris game that involved using dishes and cutlery instead of strategically designed line segments.
By the time I decide its time to load the dishwasher, there is just waaaaay too much stuff and its impossible to fit everything inside. Believe me, I’ve tried!!
OK. You got me on this one. I’m guilty as hell. I’ll actually purposely use a dish I normally wouldn’t so I can fill it completely. Yes, I need help.
Wow… who does that?? I agree, you do need help. Dirty a dish you don’t need to just so you can throw it in the dishwasher… that’s crazy. I’d rather have an empty slot
LOL! Now that’s awesome!
I don’t like dishwashers…I prefer to wash them by hand but I will always love Awesomeland:)
Oh, Wendy… I’ll gladly let you wash my dishes. ;-)
I am soooooo good at this! I seriously could battle anyone for the dishwasher-cramming trophy and come out on top!
