Tupperware and Glass Storage Facility

If they have a dishwasher — and many do, because it is standard equipment in most homes — it becomes a glorified dish rack, a Tupperware storage cabinet or a snack-food bin. It's never turned on.


AAM recently posted a link to an interesting article on immigrant families and dishwasher use. Yes, dishwashers! In my family we never used it for actually washing dishes, but rather as a mega dish drying rack. Even to this day i still wash dishes by hand; it's just faster and simpler. The old brown '70s dishwasher in our unrenovated apartment - i highly doubt it works considering our oven door was previously held on by a screw - is currently being used as a Tupperware and glass storage facility. Well, there actually isn't even any real Tupperware in it, but doesn't everyone call plastic food storage containers that?

Dude, I totally love my dishwasher! But since we dont have a bug problem, my main thing is I'll fill it, and then run it and start piling up the dirty dishes in the sink, and instead of unloading the clean dishes, just start taking them out of the washer one by one until its empty and the sink is full... then we start all over again.

Needless to say, Steve hates this about me. HAHAHA

I suspect that if i actually used the dishwasher i would do the exact same thing! I do however, like an empty dish drain on the counter. Whenever be leaves that full i get mad!
