Same here. I had to laugh when one of my brothers didn't think I was
loading the dishwasher properly. (Read: it wasn't the way HE does it.)
He rearranged the utensils so that all the spoons were together, all
the forks, etc. I said what do you think you're doing? The spoons are
all nesting together!
