    Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).

      I look at it as a chore- to make my daughter do since we need to give her chores. And she doesn’t like to do it, so it’s a chore for her.

        Don’t worry, there is still time. My sister hated loading the dishwasher, always dating girls and whatnot. But then in college she came to appreciate the dishwasher and now she is married with a kid!

          My daughter may very well get married, but I doubt a kid will be in the picture without artificial insemination or adoption. We shall see what her opinion of dishwashers is by the time she’s out of college.

    Reminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.

    “You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

          Remember the time someone saw him receive a note which he read and then ate?

          Correction: this is reportedly a very frequent behaviour

        Well yeah he is morbidly obese fat ass. I bet he also leaves shit stains on the toilet seat and doesn’t clean it up like my coworker.

        That’s the joke, but the truth is even stupider. He hasn’t experienced a low-flow toilet in decades.

        We have one. The multiple flush thing doesn’t happen. Having a different amount of flush for what you’re in there to do helps.

        Same with low-flow shower heads. Yes they did suck 20 years ago. They work just fine now. They’re also helpful if you live somewhere which has low water pressure anyway.

          TBH, I’ve got pretty low water pressure where I live. Low-flow shower heads are bullshit, and I would much, much rather have the bad, old, inefficient, high-flow shower heads, and a decent amount of water pressure. High efficiency toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, etc. are great. But dammit, I just want to shower under a high-pressure firehose, at temperatures that will boil my skin off in ten minutes!

      That’s why my old boss always had a pipe wrench in his suitcase: To remove the pressure reduction piece from the shower head.

      He’ll have a staffer watch it, who then reports to him “you shouldn’t be using liquid detergent.” He will then bring a bill to make subsidies for liquid detergent makers to help ease their plight and continue complaining about “low flo” dishwashers.

    Besides being a privileged bitch this guy is a fucking idiot.

    Probably didn’t realize his dishwasher has a filter that needs cleaned, or he has a hard water problem.
