Useless appliances

Sometimes you can feed lemon or orange rinds into the garbage disposal and everything smells good.

But they also wash dishes pretty thoroughly before putting it in the dishwasher, which blows my mind. It’s not like they enjoy doing it.

So do my parents. It's the ancient paradox of dishwashers. Sometimes I catch myself thoroughly scrubbing a plate to put in their dishwasher, but with my fingers and running water, not soap, to convince myself I'm not actually washing it, even if I'm putting in the same amount of effort.
