Can we discuss pet peeves here? (7 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

My entire family and their dishwashing habits/abilities. My kids, my partner, and her daughter (my step-daughter, basically). First, I'm apparently the only one in the house that understands how a dishwasher works. Everyone else evidently thinks a plate will become clean by water hitting the bottom side of said plate. And, bowls are apparently more effectively washed by stacking them 2-3 deep in the bottom rack.

Don't even get me started in their ability to hand-wash items. Put it this way... At this point, they have all heard my "seagull" analogy several times, in an effort to get them to understand why you rinse off dishes before washing them. Basically, it goes like this.... "If a seagull were to take a flying dump on your head, would you go home, add shampoo, and proceed to wash your hair? Or, would you try to rinse out said bird poo from your hair before shampooing?" Sadly, this usually doesn't create the response that I'm looking for. Instead, they just stare at me like an idiot, probably trying to figure out if I'm making it up, or if I've actually fallen victim to a shlt-bombing seagull at some point in my life.

It’s been our experience that most people don’t rinse off their dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Our kids have been questioned about their (good) dish cleaning technique when helping with the dishes over friends houses. (WTF complains when getting help but here we are!)


Ours are almost clean enough to dry off and eat with before putting them into the dishwasher.

Although I don’t always adhere to this, I’ve been told a quick rinse is sufficient for most contemporary dish washers.

I keep hearing this but don't believe it for a second.

I think it’s true for high end appliances - just scrape big stuff and put it in the washer

Depends on how often you run it. We only have to run it once a week. Left on food gets stinky and attracts roaches. No thanks. Also, food debris will clog the filter unless you are cleaning it pretty regularly. I'd rather not find out that it's clogged.

Yeah, as I said, I don’t adhere to the minimal rinse guideline. My most affluent friend, who has much nicer appliances, had mentioned it on ski trips, when we’d wash dishes every other day.

I don't have the highest end of dishwashers but we just scrape all the chunks off and put it in the dishwasher. Works just fine. Every once in a blue moon is there a plate or bowl that has some stuck on sauce type stuff but it's very infrequently and probably due to sitting in the dishwasher for a few days before it got full enough to run.

Also, the drain has a strainer on it that's easy to take out and empty every so often for any chunks that didn't get scraped off. It's not really a big deal.

I’ll vouch for this. Never used a dishwasher in my life. Remodeled the downstairs, so have a new dishwasher. It’s pretty miraculous what it will clean. I “tested” out various dishwashers while on vacations before spending a grip on a dishwasher. One time we put a lasagna pan in there no rinse, barely scraped. Came out clean as whistle. I couldn’t believe it.

[Don Quixote]

Maybe more of a vent than a pet peeve... Wife bought tickets to Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience tonight. Web site says the event will go ahead even if there is rain; it further says if it can’t go ahead because of extreme weather, a communication will be sent via e-mail to re-book. Weather tonight is rainy, but nothing extreme. Received no e-mail saying it was cancelled.

Drove about an hour from just outside DC over to Leesburg. As we start to enter the park, see some cars making their back to the entrance, which is weird as it is a night event and our time slot pretty early in the evening. We park and get out of the car to make our way to the entrance and an employee stops us to tell us event is closed because of the weather and they will give us a voucher to re-book for another night. Never got an e-mail about the cancellation. Hundreds of cars probably similarly situated where drove an hour or more to just get turned around. Told my wife that I wished they had a moose out front that I could punch like Clark Griswold. They are now deleting complaints about it from their Facebook and Instagram pages left and right to try to pretend it did not happen (apparently their social media person’s job responsibility is limited to deleting negative posts, and does not include making announcements about it being unexpectedly closed due to weather, as they did not post anything about it there either).

Anyway, avoid Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience like the plague.

Back when I drank all day on Sunday with friends and then watched espn on Sunday night (why? We had just watched red zone and had multiple tvs going at once ) we would bet on when the raider game highlights would come on. The tricky part would be if they were playing a mid tier team like the bears/packers/giants. Dallas would be one or two. And if it was a junk opponent, Sometimes they wouldn’t air any raider highlights until after the first half hour.

I feel kinda bad admitting to this.

Waiting for a line of traffic to go by so I can to make a left turn. The last car is approaching and I am ready to go as soon as they pass. But, they don't pass. They stop. Are they letting me go? There's motion in the car. Are they waving at me to go? Fighting with a bee? I'm not sure so I watch for a couple of seconds and then cautiously go.

I appreciate the gesture but it would probably be faster if you just followed the traffic in front of you.

mine is jamming unnecessary **** in to the fridge, at weird angles, in weird places, complaining that our fridge isn't big enough anymore and we need a new one for Christmas

things like putting an entire large pizza box in the fridge when there's a single slice inside. putting the whole crockpot in the fridge when there's only enough food inside to fit a small tupperware container.

i got the message already. buying a bigger fridge would mean remodeling the entire kitchen. we aren't doing that.

If you go to a brewpub, can you just bring your empty glasses to the bar or whatever place they set aside when you leave. It's usually only one or two people working there and other people might like to sit at the place you left without empty glasses there. It's not that hard people.

My mom is the ****ing queen of this. She will just drop all these names like we know who the hell they are. I have given up trying to make her explain who they are, mostly because I just don't care. but when she does it in front of my inlaws or my friends I always have to be like - yo mom - nobody here knows who the hell Bob and Cindy are, you gotta give them some backstory or just leave it as "friends of ours"
