My wife thinks I'm being chivalrous by always taking her plate after a meal but really it's because she stacks the dishwasher like a toddler and I can't face dealing with it.

She was probably born left handed, but her parents forced her to do things with the correct hand. Hence the anomalous results. Bet she shoots a bow and arrow or a gun favoring her left (dominant) eye.
My lefty wife is a 5th degree black belt in Bushido karate, so I don't tease her much about being a klutz at everything else she does. Man's gotta know his own limitations...
It's best when they stack things on top of each other in such a way that the water can't reach the side that needs cleaning and then they say "dishwasher hasn't worked again".
Ah a manipulation technique. Do such a bad job you never have to do it again, because you use someone else that does it properly who laps up being called "chivalrous".
This isn't the 'fess you think it is. Stacking a dishwasher properly is child's play. The task should be shared.
Apparently you should arrange the plates around the centre cos that's where the spray comes from. Like a theatre in the round. I saw it on Reddit so it must be true.
After reading Fesshole for a while I think it's safe to say that a lot of marriages would be happier if they didn't own a dishwasher. The cursed things seems to cause nothing but seething resentment.
My husband insists on carrying everything at once rather than taking a few trips, I insist on carefully filling a bag, box or dishwasher to fit everything in.

Plot twist: Your wife knows you're one of 'Them' that have a specific type of OCD that relates to mind-numbing trivialities like dishwasher stacking.
She's like "Let the daft bastard deal with it, I honestly couldn't give a fuck."

Wife spends 2 minutes correctly filling, all plates & everything else in.
