Loading the Dishwasher

In response to a L.A. Times arti­cle, Joe Clark assem­bled a Flickr gallery of dish­wash­er instruc­tion man­u­als. I thought this was inter­est­ing enough to blog because

1. Somebody, some­where had to design these man­u­als. They made lit­tle dish­wash­er illus­tra­tions or took pic­tures of a “prop­er­ly” loaded dish­wash­er. That’s funny to me.
2. I have per­son­al­ly been scold­ed many a time for my inef­fi­cient, unortho­dox, and just plain wrong load­ing of a dishwasher.
