The Dishwasher List

Signs you need a new dishwasher:

1. The top rack collapses while being loaded. Your husband fixes it temporarily, but you still quit using the sapphire plates until the dishwasher is replaced.

2. You suddenly lose your appetite when you notice grit marinating in the side of your half-drunk glass of water.

3. Your husband asks you to wait until after his movie is over to turn on the dishwasher.

4. You’ve seen shinier silverware at the all-you-can-eat buffet.

5. That smell! I don’t know what it is, but if I can smell it, it can’t be good.

6. You make a special trip to Costco to buy paper plates. (Please don’t lynch me, Ces!)

7. The cabinet under your sink is filled with every dishwashing tablet, powder, liquid, sanitizer, performance booster, and rinse agent you could find at the store. None of them work properly because your cheap @$$ dishwasher SUCKS!

8. You get mad at your husband if he changes the channel during an appliance commercial.

9. The plates come out dirtier than they went in.

10. You WISH your glasses would come out spotty. It would be an improvement!

It's a good thing we bought a new one because...



our dishwasher is SHOT!
The new one should arrive early this week...and not a moment too soon.

You forgot reason #11.

Dirty dish water comes streaming out of the back of your dishwasher, down the wall, into the basement, right into the washing machine filled with all of your cute outfits that you planned on wearing to the HLCCA convention.

What was even more annoying was going into my local appliance store and explaining that I want a hard food disposel, a sanitizing feature, adjustable racks, and being shown a model with none of those feature, but it does have a handle to hang stuff off of.

Ouch! One seldom thinks about a dishwasher until it breaks down. Good luck. You seem very busy with home improvement projects.
