Can we talk about people who put knives in the dishwasher blade-up

I house-sat for my sister last weekend and opened her dishwasher to find 4 chef knives sitting blade-up in the silverware basket. It took me about 2 seconds to slice my finger on a serrated bread knife while grabbing a fork. I get that you want the blades to get clean, but that's what the top rack is for if you must. Or just hand wash them, it takes like 3 minutes. Do people not think about what happens when someone reaches in without looking?

I put mine blade down and still cut myself reaching for spoons.

@the_jordan you're holding spoons wrong if that happens. Blade down always, tip points to the back.

Oh man, a friend of mine tried the whole blade down thing and still sliced their thumb open on the edge of the drawer. Spoon drawer is just a hazard zone honestly.
