So.... some things can't be substituted....

We're out of dishwashing detergent, so the brilliant Spousal Equivalent says: "Just use the stuff we use in the sink. It's the same stuff."

Oh, how he was wrong. So I put a bit in the dispenser and started it.

A few minutes later I go to make coffee, and there are soap suds coming out of the bottom of the dishwasher. I clean it up, and put the oatmeal on to cook.

Then the SE goes into the kitchen, and informs me not to panic. The small spill of suds now extends across the width of the kitchen.

The dog tried to clean stuff up too. *facepalm* I had to shoo her away from licking up the suds.

Happy Black Friday.
