Michael: Deanna, I'm sorry about the coffee. I've always left half-finished cups around. I just forget where I put them, and... Deanna: Michael, you also leave the toothpaste out and you put stuff in the dishwasher without rinsing it! Michael: Wait a minute! Suddenly it's "find a fault" week? Deanna: No, I just wanted to mention a couple of things you did that were bothering me. Michael: Really?- There's more? Deanna: ...I made a list.
Actually, you’re not supposed to rinse the dishes, before putting them in the dishwasher. You’re supposed to let the washer do the work. Pre-rinsing wastes water (but most people do it anyway).
