I rinse and load same day. Sam leaves pans to soak for days, then acts shocked when the sink smells. I asked once calmly and got told I am controlling about chores.

Opening · I soak cast iron and baked-on stuff so we do not ruin pans.
I soak cast iron and baked-on stuff so we do not ruin pans. Alex reorganizes the dishwasher while I am mid-load and breaks my system. Calling it controlling is rich.

Days of soak until smell is a shared problem, not a solo aesthetic choice.
Cast iron care is real. Alex reorganizing without consent is actually controlling.
Baked-on grease needs soak time. Patience is cheaper than new pans.
Soaking has limits — set a 24-hour rule. Do not reorganize someone mid-load without asking.
Controlling is a strong word for wanting a functional kitchen. So is surprise reorganization.
Chores need written defaults: soak OK, smell not OK, who runs the machine.
If the sink smells, the household agreed it failed — fix it together tonight.
Neither of you is wrong about pans; you are wrong about timing and respect.
