But some couldn't see the issue in how the dishwasher was stacked, with one person tweeting: "What's wrong with it? I don't have a dishwasher … Is it because some of the plates are touching and water won't get in between?"
Another argued that the problem was the number of items in the dishwasher and one person explained: "Looks to me as though space is limited, which leads to imperfect stacking".
"I would suggest adopting a 'pans for the sink – plates for the dishwasher' policy to mitigate this."
"Pans don't go in! See if you can get a quickly divorce … annulled or something," one person tweeted.
"Literally, cups between the rows. No pans, no knives, no wood," one Twitter user suggested.
However, the vast majority of reactions to the tweet were people offering their commiserations – as well as lamenting their similar situation.
"My husband does this. I used to think he was smart but … not so much now," another Twitter user lamented.
"Dishwasher loading – in every marriage there's one person who can, and one person who can't, and if you're not sure which you are, then you can't," another said.
"Every home needs a dishwasher monitor. I am ours. God knows what they'd do without me," one person tweeted.
"I live for the day loading the dishwasher is included on the school curriculum and you have to pass an exam to prove you can be in charge of this task," one Twitter user remarked.
