Standard Operating Procedures

I am curious
Dishwasher, laundry, TeePee
How do you do it?

(Sorry I think that haiku qualifies as the LAMEST one ever!)  (Do I get a trophy for how terrible it is?)

I have some very pressing questions I’d like to ask.    You know me, always tackling those controversial issues head on.  Or not.

This is what I want to know…

1.  When you load the dishwasher with silverware, do you put them in so that the handles go up or down?

For me, I prefer the handles to be up.  This way when I go to unload the dishwasher, I’m not touching the part of the utensil that you eat off of, therefore it’s more sanitary.  And me being a food safety freak, this makes it the RIGHT way. 

As if one controversial issue wasn’t enough for today, here’s another one…

2.  When doing laundry, do you start the water and add the detergent before or after you put the clothes in?

I put the clothes in THEN I start the water and add the detergent.  It’s how I’ve always done it, even when it drove my roommate in college berserk when she saw how I did laundry.  This is probably not the right way, and I haven’t ever read a washing machine’s owner manual to find out the proper procedure since I DO have a life.

And last, but certainly not least…something you could get really pissed about (pun intended)…

3.  Toilet paper…over or under??

I could be tinkling at Oprah Winfrey herself’s house and if the toilet paper was coming from the underside of the roll, I’d be compelled to flip the roll around to fix it and make it RIGHT.  Toilet paper MUST be dispensed over the roll.

*Clap, clap*  Settle down now everyone.  Settle down.   Don’t everyone talk at once, there is a space for each of you to leave your dissenting opinions in the comments section.

No cat fights or name calling.  Keep it clean, please.
