Wiser words unlikely to be said. My wife wants the utensils up, they are up. I’m trainable and willingly adaptable.

Ironically, I recently got into a merge sort discussion with her regarding how to load utensils. Sorting on load reduced unload time, she got it but didn’t care for the detour in time complexity. She just gave me a snide look at that part.

> a merge sort

We use a bucket sort. My wife grudgingly conceded it was faster and doesn't hate doing the dishes as much as she used to (but I still do them most frequently).

Argh - I don’t think mine is ready for another sorting discussion but I’ll consider this for my future solo loading exercises!
