Option B is best for efficiency and to maximise the amount of dirty plates etc you can put in the machine.

We have a slimline dishwasher and has to be loaded correctly. If my wife loads it, it’s a chaotic and they’re still a handful of bits that need to be washed up by hand.

Ops not going to get an engineering job if he prefers B , or probably a date if he puts that on his new singles profile (OCD deserves sympathy)

If the dishes are layed out maximising space between them that's a more efficient wash, option A manifestly works anyway (since B is a reorg of cleaned dishes)

threads a contender for daily norm award
 
Option B for me, hate it when the other half stacks dishes so they cross over each other. Somehow doesn’t understand that to clean water needs to be able to hit the dishes
 
I feel your pain, my wife has somehow managed to smash multiple glasses when loading the dishwasher in her haphazard manner. (Rim of glass forced down onto a mug handle causing it to shatter).
I try to undertake all dishwasher loading and unloading duties but sometimes she goes rogue and loads things herself!
The times I’ve unloaded it in the morning and found spoons stuck together with random foodstuffs superheated between them :eek:

Option B is ok but I like to leave a little more gap between plates if possible :)

They're both wrong. Why would anyone, unless they have suffered severe mental trauma, front load all that weight? Plates go at the back right. Cutlery is upside down.
 
I used to have a problem with this and then I just stopped caring. It's just not worth the accusing tones and snipes that follow. As long as everything comes out clean I don't care how it goes in.

I think that the worst thing that ticks me off about dishwashers is people washing the dishes off before putting them in.... What is the point in that? You may as well not have a dishwasher. I mean scrape of food but don't wash them off in the sink first

My wife's boyfriend.

Although shirley when they die on a knife they must be talking bread knife or something significant? In which case, no sympathy as those should be hand washed.
 
There's a massive gap in the middle. I'd have the plates more spread out to maximise water flow over them.

Glasses are bottom of the list to go in the dishwasher for me. Unless something particularly nasty has happened to them, they just get a quick rinse + wipe.

Little plastic pots can't go in like in option A. I find they get flipped over by the water jets and end up as a pot of dirty water.

Neither.

Variation of b with the bowl shifted over and plates spaced over.

But more importantly you poor sod hasn't learnt the no1 rule. Just keep schtum ha

Should never put knives upwards - though a rare one several people have been killed by falling on top of cutlery in their dishwasher.

I'd love to see some stats on the likelihood of this happening. I've got good money that says it's even less than my chances of dying from COVID.
 
Many a blazing row in the Nitefly household as Mrs. Nitefly is incapable of rinsing chunkier items of food from plates before they go into the dishwasher.

Buuutttt option B person needs to go to jail for stacking plates too close together.
