arg, I had to introduce a revolutionary concept to my SO, if your dirty plate is already above the dishwasher, you can actually put it inside

Yesterday I asked him to clear the dining room table, had to tell him today that the saucepan who was on it did not end up flying herself into the dishwasher, like it seems he expected her to do

I've taken 95% of household tasks on myself because I'm unemployed, home all day, don't pay rent/utilities (but all groceries) and have a higher standard of what I call clean and acceptable. But I'm a bit afraid that once I get a job he'll be reluctant to pitch in and expect to keep it that way.
