My sister-in-law called my fork stacking lazy, now I see her point
We were doing Thanksgiving cleanup at her place in Portland and I loaded the flatware basket the way I always do, all jumbled with handles mixed. She pulled out a spoon that was nested inside another spoon and said "you're just making extra work for whoever unloads this." She showed me her method, all forks in one section and pointing the same direction. I thought it was fussy until I unloaded her dishwasher this morning and it took me like 30 seconds without touching a single dirty spot. Has anyone else gotten schooled by a relative and actually changed their whole system?

Hold up, forks all in one section but yours are pointing every which way. That part still makes my eye twitch. You got the spirit right, but the details matter. Mixing handles and tines in the same slot defeats the whole point. She said point them the same direction, not just separate them by type. That's the actual trick that keeps your hands clean.
