LET HIM SAY GOODBYE DAMMIT

Gotta leave a bit of wet cloth stink on it, so you know who's boss

Ours plays a little tune: "dee-diddly-deedee tiddly-diddly-ping'.
It is surprisingly irritating.

Sometimes they elope, especially those crafty socks

So sweet, one last cuddle :-)

Mine doesn’t do this , it beeps incessantly until I get the washing out. I don’t know what’s worse but a nagging washer drives me potty

colormage.bsky.social•506 days ago

But I really like the little song my washer plays 😁

It's singing goodbye to the clothes

Oh and if we need to retrieve the tip we gave it in the form of a long lost coin and other detritus, it'll make us curse it by giving us the additional gift of a secret gallon of water, that it for whatever reason has not expelled.

My washer firmly believes that socks shouldn’t be forced into marriages with others of their caste if they don’t want to be, and so is constantly trying to break them up.

Mine gets terribly irritated if you don't immediately unload it. I swear the second and third set of eardrum piercing beeps are even louder.

Even robots know how good the feeling of warm clothes are.

Thanks—on any other day I’d laugh out loud, but for today—you’ve brought me a glimmer of smile 💜

scriblit.bsky.social•505 days ago

Sorry you're having a bad day!

I know it's meant as a joke, but this is exactly the example I use to point out that it would be awesome to be able to fix the firmware of modern white goods.

Mine doesn't beep, nor does it have a visible timer, so it's more like:

Me: Hello when can I have my laundry
Washing machine: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Me:

Mine plays this jingle that feels like it’s never going to end

mckelvie.bsky.social•506 days ago

Samsung, eh

My washing machine plays a nice tune about a trout, and then when you think it is finished it plays a separate jaunty little "I finished the tune!" tune.

chompmancobra.bsky.social•506 days ago

(and I will always wait for it to do this because the washing machine just seems so happy about the whole deal)

At least the music is nice.

Mine gently rocks my wet clothes for about 20 minutes after spinning, drives me mad, can't figure out how to turn that setting off. "No touchie! You don't want CREASES, do you?"

notmoro.bsky.social•506 days ago

Dependind on whether my machine's been drying, it wants up to two minutes before I can have access. "No! You can't put your hand in, yet, it might get slightly warm."
