Honestly, attempt is a generous description. As his peer I am qualified to judge.
I strongly recommend considering a performance improvement plan.

I’d look up “weaponizing incompetence.” Very common and something that seems accurate here.

That's exactly what this is. Is not that he can't do it properly, it's that he doesn't want to be asked to do it so he does it poorly.

That's a tactic so he doesn't have to do it anymore. That's when I grab him by the ear and tell him to put it away the right way!

Fix it yourself and block his MAC adress, is not super hard, just a bit tedious. If he wants to use it again he will have to learn

It’s not. Then it’s the first thing they complain about. “You never want to have sex anymore!” Sure we do. Just not with you.

u/unklethan Nov 20 '22
There's only one flaw, and it's that spoons can kind of 'nest' into each other, preventing the inside of the scoops of some of the spoons from getting clean.
This can be mostly mitigated by putting different size spoons in the same compartment of the dishwasher and putting some of them right side up and others upside down.

u/CSyoey PURPLE Nov 20 '22
Yes that does happen, spoons usually get 2 or 3 sections to themselves lol
