For fuck's sake why can't my roommates load a fucking dishwasher in a way that makes logical sense?

And let's put the biggest stuff on the top rack, and stack the glasses directly on top of each other so that the water can't get in. And what the hell - stick a meat cleaver up against the soap dispenser so it can't open and dispense soap.
Fuck it - this needs to be its own thread. I will post pictures.
Definitely needed it's own thread.
My "house mates" have turned bad dishwasher use into an art form. You've covered the basics, but what about these rookie mistakes?
Never dump putrid garbage down the disposal while the dishwasher is running. Yes, in most cases, they are interconnected and unless you've got a modern house with an air release between them, guess what? You just dumped half the garbage in with the dishes!
Dishwashers have high speed water jets and super hot metal coils. Guess what happens if you throw a featherweight plastic utensil or lid in loose on top the cage?
This one is for my son. No, the dishwashing soap you use in the kitchen sink will NOT work in the dishwasher! (But seriously, you should try it once if you need to mop the kitchen anyway)
And this is for all of them! Rinse your damned dishes when you're done eating. No, I don't care what the advertisement said, if you put in 5 pounds of leftovers with your dishes, nothing will get clean. Rather, the leftovers will be permanently baked into the dishes.
I had some flatmates who once put a large pot over a part of the dishwasher that pops up to spray water around. They were annoyed when I pointed out that the dishwasher wouldn't work if you loaded it that way.
