Tupperware and Glass Storage Facility

If they have a dishwasher — and many do, because it is standard equipment in most homes — it becomes a glorified dish rack, a Tupperware storage cabinet or a snack-food bin. It's never turned on.


AAM recently posted a link to an interesting article on immigrant families and dishwasher use. Yes, dishwashers! In my family we never used it for actually washing dishes, but rather as a mega dish drying rack. Even to this day i still wash dishes by hand; it's just faster and simpler. The old brown '70s dishwasher in our unrenovated apartment - i highly doubt it works considering our oven door was previously held on by a screw - is currently being used as a Tupperware and glass storage facility. Well, there actually isn't even any real Tupperware in it, but doesn't everyone call plastic food storage containers that?

I suspect that if i actually used the dishwasher i would do the exact same thing! I do however, like an empty dish drain on the counter. Whenever be leaves that full i get mad!
