This seems obvious, but it's not. In my defense, this was a very long time ago...
After loading up the dishwasher, I realized we were out of dishwasher soap. So I thought "Dishwasher soap is liquid, dish soap is liquid, why not use dish soap in place of the dishwasher soap?" It seemed like a brilliant idea, and I even wondered why there were two separate soaps. Why not just buy one kind instead of two? I thought I was being pretty creative and put the dish soap in the dishwasher then proceeded to the basement to watch some TV.
About 1/2 hour later my dad walks upstairs and I hear a stream of about 30 loud swear words. I somehow knew whatever it was was my fault, so I didn't want to go upstairs. About 3 minutes later, I get called upstairs anyway and get asked this question "Did you put dish soap in the dishwasher!?" Hesitantly I said "Yeah, why?" and then looked into the kitchen. There was about 1 foot of suds on the floor in about a 5 foot radius and more spilling out of the sides of the dishwasher. After about 250 swear words later and being made to feel extremely stupid, I yelled "No one ever told me not to do that! How was I supposed to know this would happen!?"
I was then told to clean it up, which I did, but the cleanup was horrific since there couldn't be any residue from the condensed Dawn liquid soap in the dishwasher otherwise it would keep happening each time we did the dishes. I never made that mistake again.
