 I still don’t really understand why it takes me less than 15 minutes to completely wash a sink of dishes by hand but it takes my dishwasher an hour and a half to do the same thing. How messy of an eater do they think I am? 
 This is why I never use the dishwasher, even if it’s right there in front of me and I’m feeling lazy. 
 And the dishwasher sucks lol
 
 I swear I end up accidentally kicking the door at least twice a day because someone (probably me) left it open. 
 Dishwashers seem like they're mostly just there to store the dirty dishes out of sight 😂 
 I lived in apartments for 20 years without one and when I finally moved to a place that had a dishwasher, it took me almost a year before I even tried it. And then I discovered it was broken and the landlord gave me a hard time about replacing it because they wanted to know why I didn’t report it when I moved in (they assumed I damaged it). I said it hadn’t occurred to me to use it before. 😂 
 When I'm visiting friends or family with dishwasher I feel like a scurvy pirate.. I'm like, just let me keep my water glass!! Pls 🏴‍☠️🦜💦💦💦 
 Dishwasher will likely manage to use less water in that hour than you in a 15 minutes. 
 You will take longer time if you reuse water like dishwasher 
 That’s so true .. wtf  
 And they say technology is faster 😂 
 Dishwashers are a shitcoin. 
 It’s more efficient because it uses less water than doing it by hand. But yes it’s definitely slower 
 I just assume it’s a magic black box. No one really knows what goes on inside the dishwasher. 
 I always thought that! Dishwashers have to scale. They are old and not working fast enough :)
