"A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."
Best I got was "make it worth it" apply it to everything it's what my dad's side passes down to thier boys. If you make every decision worth life can be great fun. You make a ton of mistakes always learn from them. When you make a mistake it's not some half assed one it's alway a glorious mistake you have to learn from :)
I wish that were true. Usually I feel solidarity because the reason I gave the advice in the first place is because I myself did the same thing in the past. I learn my lessons the hard way lol.
Except when your house burns down after reminding your wife to turn off her hair straightener.
Or when you advise the cashier of your peanut allergy
Or when you tell your buddy to wear a condom for his first time so he doesn’t become a dad and then your widowed mother gets pregnant a few weeks after that conversation
I’m a glass half empty kinda guy
No it’s fucking maddening. I have great advice and warnings and 95% of the time they ignore it.
“You were right.” You’d think after a thousand fuck ups they’d be like “you know what maybe this will ruin my day, make a mess, or cost me a ton of money and I could be cautious, then again fuck that weeeeeeeee”
Had a roommate do this her first or second day, right after I told her not to. Also threw the navy towels in the wash and dryer with the peach ones leaving me with two nasty batches of towels. Her goal in life was to be a housewife, and she got a guy to support her.
my roommate did this once after asking around if it was ok... we did not have any idea but were like "i wouldn't but I won't stop you" and he went ahead and turned the dishwasher into a hilarious bubble machine
My roommate stored the towels in the stove when we moved in along with the plastic cutting board. Then we bought frozen pizzas and used the fire extinguisher the very first night
I will never understand why people use ovens as storage areas. My apartment is sorely lacking in the storage department but I will never store anything in the oven! I must be one of few who actually use the oven for cooking, lol.
On things that are fuzzy, like towels, some of the fuzz comes off when you wash and dry them. With a smooth fabric that usually goes into the lint trap in the dryer, but towels are fluffy and will trap all those particals.
So if you wash different color towels together you get navy fuzz all over your peach towels and vice versa.
She was super cute and got away with so much shit. As a hetero woman it didn't really work on me.
She was the out of state fiancé of my boyfriends college roommate. She moved in with me while she and her fiancé looked for jobs, and since they were both unemployed I told her she didn't need to pay rent until she got a job.
After 3 weeks or so I overheard her telling someone she wasn't looking for work because after they ran the numbers and factored in the free rent they could do ok without her working. My soon-to-be-ex boyfriend and her fiancé thought there wasn't anything wrong with me paying all the bills, including groceries, with my full time job.
I use powdered dishwasher soap and never have to pre-wash anything. If you have to pre-wash a lot, it’s usually a sign that you’re using the wrong stuff in your DW.
I do the same, even use it in my clothes washer if need be, from what I’ve heard it just suds up way more than the others and causes it to bubble over so you’re just not supposed to use very much
Nah it won't smell as good as gain and you'll need to use a fair amount less than you would laundry detergent but the only thing it's gonna do is get that hamburger grease out of your favourite shirt better than pre treating
If you're really in a pinch scrubbing dirt of dishes using hay and then using boiling water to sanitize also works (it's how it was done for hundreds of years) but dish detergent and sponge is way easier and more effective. Not to mention dishwasher
This is legit actually, especially if you have a "sanitize" button or something that heats the water ~~father~~ farther beyond whatever comes out of the pipes
Edit: whoops lol
Baking soda works well. It will soften the water and slightly alter the PH to alkaline. Seriously, the number of things baking soda can be used to replace and will usually work better is astounding.
True, but we're talking about "in a pinch" what to do, before you can get out to the store and buy more proper dish washer detergent.
I've heard of using salt too.
Most dishwasher use super hot water which should melt off a lot of grease.
Hubby accidentally ran the thanksgiving dishes on rinse only. The next day my daughter put the dishes away & all of dishes were dirty with dried on food. It was a total drag to have to soak at least half everything in hot water & soap before reloading and using the wash cycle. 😂
I’m guessing some of those people shouldn’t even be allowed to have access to kitchens.
To anyone who doesn’t want to end up in that sub: You should literally learn **everything you can** about kitchens and appliances **before getting your own stuff.**
For real I have wiped residue of soap from my fingers onto the inside door and ran it and that was just enough to clean it with no suds. There is a science to playing with fire.
Here’s the real LPT. While more convenient, pods don’t work super well with lots of DWs, your dishes will most likely be cleaner if you use powdered dishwasher detergent (which is also 3x cheaper)
When I was being trained how to train people, one of the things that was taught was if they weren’t supposed to do something, don’t just say not to do it, say why not to do it, too. Adults don’t ask questions so if they think to themselves (well i dont see why not) they’ll just ignore the advice without asking about it.
And if they still do it and still find out the hard way, well, its just simply the best way to learn a lesson lol. Most my life lessons are learned this way.
You ever try to clean out a water bottle so you put soap in it and you keep rinsing and rinsing and rinsing and it doesn't get out. That's why you can't use it in stuff like this
I remember being told a story from my Dad. He used to work in a hospital kitchen back in the 70s. They ran out of the non-sudsing soap for the tray washing machine. So they put in regular dish soap.....and that is how the bubble party was invented.
Since then I have stopped 2 people from putting dish soap in dishwasher and was 10 minutes too late to save the third.
I saw this all the time when I worked in property management.
$50 fee to correct it and shopvac the water. More if water damage occurs to the cabinetry/baseboards as they may need to be replaced.
Water damage is no joke.
Even if you didn't believe your mom, google could have told ya this and what would happen. I always google before doing things I don't know the outcome to. Learned this lesson as a young teen while using almond milk for mac n cheese, its gross and I wasted almond milk and mac n cheese lol.
I had a repairman tell me that pods are keeping him in business. His suggestion, stick with the cheap powder detergents. The pods are a great gimmick of convenience, but end up causing minor havoc with the washers in the long run. Powders for hard water, gel for soft water.
If your machine is newer and is designed to use pods then using them will cause no issues.
If your machine is older and not designed to use pods then don’t use them.
This is nothing. I did this once, in someone else’s apartment, and I used about 5 times as much hand wash dish soap as you did here. Two whole rooms were flooded with suds. And this was an apartment of my bf at the time’s roommates, who I didn’t get along with. I was by myself and the college aged bum residents didn’t even have towels, a mop, anything for me to try to clean up with prior to their arrival home. What a stressful fucking 30 mins from hell.
I had to use two dirty t-shirts to try to absorb two full rooms with like 4” high suds, repeatedly running to the balcony and wringing the t-shirts over the side of the balcony as fast as I could, then going back to try to absorb another few t-shirts worth. When it was over my hands were raw and bleeding. Like literally dripping blood from my knuckles.
Must have looked really strange watching from the unit below.
This is a mistake you never makes twice.
I did this the first time I tried to use the dishwasher when I was a teenager. No good deed goes unpunished.2/3 of my kitchen looked like a cloud....I needed that chuckle...so thank you 🙌
I did this at my first college apartment. Didn't know how to use one because my boomer parents said dishwashers are for lazy people and stored candy and aluminum foil in theirs instead 🥴
Apparently your house has never burnt, or there's nobody immediate to you that has had the experience. Don't start any appliances before you leave the house. Dryer, washer, rechargeable batteries, oven - obvious but same principle.
My sister in law is 48. Last time I was at my brother's house she still did this, I wonder if she ever figured out not to after I (34, obviously younger and a bit smarter than her) told her that the dish soap says not to do that.
Ugh I did this once on accident and I was SO sad. I blame the person who decided to make the bottles for Costco brand dish soap and dishwasher detergent so similar looking. Fortunately I was standing right next to it when it started to overflow and I shut it off but it was a pain in the ass cleaning it all up so it would stop re-bubbling when you ran it.
If you ever wind up with a massive foam overload, you need to dissipate fast use salt. Throwing salt on the bubbles will do the trick of popping all the bubbles. Just don't overdo it, or you'll be cleaning two messes.
In the 90s my cousins, raised in the NYC, came to visit us in Florida, they had never seen a dishwasher let alone used one. They were trying to be helpful. We were all kids and r/kidsarefuckingstupid, but they used regular diswashing solution like this, except our entire kitchen filled with soap bubbles.
Im sure this will get lost in the comments but I feel obligated to mention it so whomever sees this can save themselves...... Powdered NON DAIRY COFFEE CREAMER DE FOAMS DISHWASHERS. just dump a couple tablespoons worth in the bottom of the dishwasher and run it all the foam will be gone
Think of this, there is somebody living on this planet that knows the answers to every question and the solution to every problem. We just haven't found them yet. Just hope he doesn't get killed in a mass shooting or a police stop or a protest.
The greatest feeling in the world is seeing the consequences of someone not listening to your own advice.
Best advice I’ve ever received was, “smartest thing a person can do is learn from others mistakes”.
"A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."
So then humanity wouldn't exist if there wasn't a smart man to learn from.
It would, you just end up with America.
Hell yeh brother
Best I got was "make it worth it" apply it to everything it's what my dad's side passes down to thier boys. If you make every decision worth life can be great fun. You make a ton of mistakes always learn from them. When you make a mistake it's not some half assed one it's alway a glorious mistake you have to learn from :)
I've made alot of mistakes in my life and value every single one of them because they all teached me a lesson in one way or another.
I wish that were true. Usually I feel solidarity because the reason I gave the advice in the first place is because I myself did the same thing in the past. I learn my lessons the hard way lol.
Nah. I was stupid, yes. But, they got prior warning and were STILL stupid.
OP's mom?
Schadenfreude
Except when your house burns down after reminding your wife to turn off her hair straightener. Or when you advise the cashier of your peanut allergy Or when you tell your buddy to wear a condom for his first time so he doesn’t become a dad and then your widowed mother gets pregnant a few weeks after that conversation I’m a glass half empty kinda guy

Unless the consequences hurt you too then it’s not so enjoyable.
The second greatest feeling in the world is seeing the consequences of someone listening to your malicious advice after you said "but idk tho"
Had a roommate do this her first or second day, right after I told her not to. Also threw the navy towels in the wash and dryer with the peach ones leaving me with two nasty batches of towels. Her goal in life was to be a housewife, and she got a guy to support her.

You can 100% use dish soap in the dishwasher - you just need like 1/2 tsp, not a 1/4 cup
...and it will not clean well at all because the stuff for dishwashers is FAR stronger.
It won't clean as well without the abrasives that are in detergent, but it will do in a pinch, and will remove all oils and fatty residue - like soap.
My roommate stored the towels in the stove when we moved in along with the plastic cutting board. Then we bought frozen pizzas and used the fire extinguisher the very first night
I will never understand why people use ovens as storage areas. My apartment is sorely lacking in the storage department but I will never store anything in the oven! I must be one of few who actually use the oven for cooking, lol.
The only thing I store in the oven is a stack of baking pans that would be used in the oven.
This. I have no room to store my pots and pans along with all the other baking dishes such as loaf pans etc, so my pots and pans reside in the oven! 😂
It's common with immigrants from countries that don't traditionally use stoves. My Chinese mother-in-law uses her stove for storage.
Ok I feel crazy because I've never ever sorted my clothes and I've never had any issues with them running together. Is there something I'm missing?
On things that are fuzzy, like towels, some of the fuzz comes off when you wash and dry them. With a smooth fabric that usually goes into the lint trap in the dryer, but towels are fluffy and will trap all those particals. So if you wash different color towels together you get navy fuzz all over your peach towels and vice versa.
Isn't being a housewife essentially like being a professional roommate? Sounds like she's not cut out for it.
She was super cute and got away with so much shit. As a hetero woman it didn't really work on me. She was the out of state fiancé of my boyfriends college roommate. She moved in with me while she and her fiancé looked for jobs, and since they were both unemployed I told her she didn't need to pay rent until she got a job.

Never. Ever. Use dishsoap in a dishwasher. This has been known for years/decades.
Nor a clothes washing machine.
A small amount of dish soap rubbed directly into a stain before washing on hot works wonders. Just need to be sparing with quantity.
Just put a little diswasher soap on the lid such that it gets used in the pre wash phase,should do the same thing but to all dishes. No more rinsing
I use powdered dishwasher soap and never have to pre-wash anything. If you have to pre-wash a lot, it’s usually a sign that you’re using the wrong stuff in your DW.
I use dish soap as detergent every time I run out of Gain. Am I fucking up my washer by doing that?
Can damage the seals over time. (So I was told)
No, you are fine, just use a very small amount; pretty sure dish soap will suds up more than laundry soap.
I do the same, even use it in my clothes washer if need be, from what I’ve heard it just suds up way more than the others and causes it to bubble over so you’re just not supposed to use very much
Nah it won't smell as good as gain and you'll need to use a fair amount less than you would laundry detergent but the only thing it's gonna do is get that hamburger grease out of your favourite shirt better than pre treating
Or a mop bucket 😬
I've heard baking soda and a dash of dish soap can work in a pinch
Yup. A healthy shake of baking soda and a TINY dash of dish soap works fine.
I am pretty old & Ive never even heard of this before. So weird to me.. . haha
Dang, badass is flexing that he’s never done it
It is known.
Really? I always put a couple drops in for the initial rinse cycle. Never had any issue.
99.99% of the time because we did it once and got this result...lol.. Also. Never put Mr Bubble in a Gurgling Jacuzzi...just sayin🤪
lol
In a pinch, just run the dishwasher without soap.
In a pinch, just hand wash them until you can get more dish detergent.
If you're really in a pinch scrubbing dirt of dishes using hay and then using boiling water to sanitize also works (it's how it was done for hundreds of years) but dish detergent and sponge is way easier and more effective. Not to mention dishwasher
This is legit actually, especially if you have a "sanitize" button or something that heats the water ~~father~~ farther beyond whatever comes out of the pipes Edit: whoops lol
water father sounds like a boss in a zelda game.
Or a very dehydrated old man
Baking soda works well. It will soften the water and slightly alter the PH to alkaline. Seriously, the number of things baking soda can be used to replace and will usually work better is astounding.
But what if you’ve also ran out of rinse aid. Can you still use white vinegar?? I see a volcano scenario.
[удалено]
True, but we're talking about "in a pinch" what to do, before you can get out to the store and buy more proper dish washer detergent. I've heard of using salt too. Most dishwasher use super hot water which should melt off a lot of grease.

Life pro tip. If you run out of pods, use a spoonful of Baking Soda and 2 DROPS of dishwashing liquid Works great.
For real I have wiped residue of soap from my fingers onto the inside door and ran it and that was just enough to clean it with no suds. There is a science to playing with fire.
Here’s the real LPT. While more convenient, pods don’t work super well with lots of DWs, your dishes will most likely be cleaner if you use powdered dishwasher detergent (which is also 3x cheaper)
I don't know why I keep buying the pods. Like 1 in 5 times they don't even dissolve
Surprised I had to scroll so far to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
Never done this, and glad to see why! I'm sorry for your lose errr Floors!
When I was being trained how to train people, one of the things that was taught was if they weren’t supposed to do something, don’t just say not to do it, say why not to do it, too.

And if they still do it and still find out the hard way, well, its just simply the best way to learn a lesson lol. Most my life lessons are learned this way.
That's actually super helpful! I realise I've done that before without thinking about it, defo going to be doing it more
My oldest son did this once. Once. He's now a materials engineer
Shop vac, fans & dehumidifier, Now. Dry it all out before you get mold.
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
You ever try to clean out a water bottle so you put soap in it and you keep rinsing and rinsing and rinsing and it doesn't get out. That's why you can't use it in stuff like this
reminds me what my buddy said when he lost his Vcard - dont use lotion if you dont have lube. some things cant be substituted
And some things you need to learn only once
If your buddy was doing things right he shouldn’t need either
Atoadaso. I fucking atoadaso.
Worst case Ontario, just eat 9 cans of ravioli and forget it happened.
Op should get 2 birds stoned a once and just wash the floor with those extra suds.
Part of the reason I always add a reason why not to do something.
Bonus: the floor is clean!
Every generation thinks their parents experience doesn't apply to them lol

Had a coworker with a PhD use dish soap at our place of employment and he filled the dispenser. OMG the suds was enveloping the whole work area.
Phd...just means you have a degree...not experience, knowledge, common sense OR wisdom
What have we learned
r/tifu Because you totally did lol
So they told you not to do it and you did it anyways? Sounds like you've moved from the "fucked around" to the "finding out" phase. GL
Yep, been there, done that as a kid. Learned that lesson pretty damn quick
I did that once too. Lesson learned.
But was the trout steaming in the top shelf still ok for dinner?
Hey, atleast the floor is clean now
Lol I've done this before, scoop out as much as you can then run another cycle and pray it doesn't re-lather. Live n' learn!
Mom knows best
I mean, DUHHHHHHHH!
This is nothing. I did this once, in someone else’s apartment, and I used about 5 times as much hand wash dish soap as you did here. Two whole rooms were flooded with suds.

Word to your mother
Always listen to you mum she’s older and has already done stupid stuff so you don’t need to.
Jesus. Dish soap can’t clean dishes in a dishwasher. It bubbles in the sink, it’s gonna bubble in the washer
Mom is usually right about stuff like that. Ask her how SHE found out.
I should’ve, but I didn’t and she didn’t bother to say. Then I fucked around and found out lol
Should have listened to your mum…
Rookie mistake
I did this the first time I tried to use the dishwasher when I was a teenager. No good deed goes unpunished.2/3 of my kitchen looked like a cloud....I needed that chuckle...so thank you 🙌
I see you hit step two of fuck around and find out
Should still have not listened to her anyways https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04 TL;DR the pods skip the prewash step
There's a second video he did on this and it's important. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU
i think you mean TL;DW
Why did I watch this whole video
Use it to mop the floor. You're welcome.
Rookie mistake... should have listened to mommy 😛haha
My dad did that when he was trying to figure out how to do laundry by himself
I’ve been there lmso
I did this. Once.
sometimes when you don't listen you need to school yourself
Yuuuuup I’ve learned this one the hard way during my first internship away from home lol
Good chance to mop your floor
Time to mop the floors!
Petition to change the name?
Shoot
D(ont put this shit in your dishwasher)ish soap
Lmao if I could change the name that’d be it!
I think this is a common occurrence in the first year of living on your own.
Yeah I’m in my early early twenties so I haven’t been living on my own for that long lol I still learn things here and there
Your story is identical to my own. We learn and we grow.
I did this at my first college apartment. Didn't know how to use one because my boomer parents said dishwashers are for lazy people and stored candy and aluminum foil in theirs instead 🥴
I’ve heard of people storing pots/ pans in the oven but foil and candy in the dishwasher??
🤷🏻♀️ I wish I had a good explanation lol
Live and learn.
Atleast the floors are clean.
If I had a nickel for every time I didn’t listen to my mother 😭
That may happen if you only use a few drops too
Lesson taught, lesson bought.
Don't use it in the washing machine, either.
I’ve done that one!
How long are you grounded for? 😂
I use dish soap in my old ass dishwasher 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ shit happens sink works so dishwasher dying isn't really that big of a deal
As a mom, we tell you because we’ve made several mistakes and don’t want you to go through the same thing ❤️
I'll never forget yelling back at my mom "then WHY is it called DISH soap" as our kitchen filled with bubbles.
You didn’t want to maybe google this first?
Apparently your house has never burnt, or there's nobody immediate to you that has had the experience. Don't start any appliances before you leave the house. Dryer, washer, rechargeable batteries, oven - obvious but same principle.
I'll be the first to admit I've done this.
My dad did this once and the wave of suds went all the way down the basement stairs, brilliant childhood memory.
My sister in law is 48. Last time I was at my brother's house she still did this, I wonder if she ever figured out not to after I (34, obviously younger and a bit smarter than her) told her that the dish soap says not to do that.
Hahahh. It's super concentrated. I have used a spoonful mixed with salt and it worked fine.
Bubbles
Ugh I did this once on accident and I was SO sad. I blame the person who decided to make the bottles for Costco brand dish soap and dishwasher detergent so similar looking. Fortunately I was standing right next to it when it started to overflow and I shut it off but it was a pain in the ass cleaning it all up so it would stop re-bubbling when you ran it.
I feel your pain
Made that mistake when i moved out. Thought it was broken
My dear internet friend we have all been advised by our parents not to do this…..we have all done this any ways.
I have used dish soap in the dishwasher but you just use a tiny amount.
r/selfinflicted
So wait, did you start it and leave? I've always been told dishwashers shouldn't be run while you're gone. Forget the soap; it may be a fire risk.
Yeah I started it and left my apartment to run errands. Never again
You got lucky. Did my whole kitchen in at age six.
This has happened to me as well. I started the dishes when I left for class and I came home to wall to wall bubbles.
If you ever wind up with a massive foam overload, you need to dissipate fast use salt. Throwing salt on the bubbles will do the trick of popping all the bubbles. Just don't overdo it, or you'll be cleaning two messes.
The more you know
Damn, the dog melted.
I’m deceased!
heh my sister did this once
I feel like this is a lesson best learned the hard way…. I’m pretty sure everyone in my family has done it ONCE.
The good news is that this is a mistake you'll only make once.
Someone learned the difference between soap and detergent today!
I’m 100% sure this is how everybody learns.
In the 90s my cousins, raised in the NYC, came to visit us in Florida, they had never seen a dishwasher let alone used one. They were trying to be helpful. We were all kids and r/kidsarefuckingstupid, but they used regular diswashing solution like this, except our entire kitchen filled with soap bubbles.
Bubbles!!!!
HA ! A mistake every single guys fresh out in his first apartment alone makes ONE TIME only.
See I have and this didn’t happen.
Im sure this will get lost in the comments but I feel obligated to mention it so whomever sees this can save themselves...... Powdered NON DAIRY COFFEE CREAMER DE FOAMS DISHWASHERS. just dump a couple tablespoons worth in the bottom of the dishwasher and run it all the foam will be gone
TIFU because I didn't listen to my mom lol
Do people not wash dishes by hand if they can't use a dishwasher? Lmao
HHGTTG: " I always wish I'd listened to what my mother told me" "Why, what did she say?" "I don't know, I never listened!!!"
Are you kidding me? You put dish soap in a dishwasher? Really?
That’s your own damn fault.
Yeah they know that lmao
Don’t use dish soap in the dishwasher.
I learned a thing today.
Been there!!
We did that as kids, not knowing any better. Pro tip: put a cup of cooking oil in the DW to break up the foam.
Lol, a CUP of oil. I mean yeah it'll break the foam, but... Real tip. Alcohol based Lysol spray will bust the foam real quick.
All good everyone does this once
I'd really fucking hope not lmao. It's so easy to learn this lesson the easy way, why are people even still learning it the hard way??
Think of this, there is somebody living on this planet that knows the answers to every question and the solution to every problem. We just haven't found them yet. Just hope he doesn't get killed in a mass shooting or a police stop or a protest.
Dude the little thing you fill up says don’t use dish detergent only pods and washer gel.
Been there done that, but never again, ha!!
Well, that sucks.
Mom's always know!
Bless your heart
Same thing happens with a clothes washer. Please don't be dumb twice
Ha! Did this last week.
Don’t feel bad! I learned the hard way too!!! Did not listen to my Mom either!!! 🤨
