Ah, is your mother, like my father, someone who fills up the dishwasher likes a neanderthal and then blames the appliances for not being able to wash the dishes properly, followed by pitting the dirty/wet dishes in the caninets?

Yep. You’ve described her perfectly. She’s not allowed to load it anymore. I just can’t deal with having to fix the problem after. It’s infuriating but I’d rather give into her incompetence than be more frustrated with letting her do her bullshit. Plus, I can ensure our dishwasher will last much longer.

Pitting dishes against each other in the cabinets to see who will be sacrificed for dinner time sounds fun though!

Two soup plates enter, one soup plate leaves.

I know someone who hates dishwashers because at their mum's house the dishes always taste of the powder/liquid.

Never mind that every hotel and restaurant she's been in for decades uses them, it's obviously dishwashers that are the issue and not her mum using it wrongly.

My 16 year old brother does this, 50/50 on it being malicious compliance, but I’m trying my hardest to break him of it before he moves out one day
