I actually did the dishes! But I got hungry before the dishwasher finished

Definitely an improvement over last time when the sink was full of dirty dishes:

Hey, just a friendly check five hours later, have you put away the clean dishes so you'll have a place for the dirty ones?

It's been 8 hours. RIP OP.

It took a little over five hours but the dishes have now been unloaded.

Onto the counter.

At least that means there's room in the dishwasher for each newly dirty dish. You can use a dish from the counter as long as you know all the counter dishes are clean.

Also, it's not vital that the dirty ones be organized correctly when they go in, as long as they face down and center. Ideally one rearranges them just before washing for maximum effectiveness, but sloppily arranged dishes will get cleaned just fine as long as they can't become pools or avoid the spray entirely.

I see no problem with using an extra precise spoon.

Yay, well done 🎉

It's easier to keep things organized than to organize after things got out of hand. If you keep at it, situation should gradually improve, as it already seems to be going. =D

This is painfully relatable

Is this what they mean by "measuring your portions"?

My sink hasn't been full of dirty dishes for weeks! How dare you?!
