Is it just me ('probably is) who has the best of intentions when it comes to laundry: the washing machine continues to incessantly •beep• to tell you it's finished, but you can't be bothered to get up to unload it. |

I’ll be honest I’m a bit of a washing ninja. If there’s an opportunity to get the washing on the line before it rains, I'm sat there waiting the three minutes for the one minute remaining to finally let me get at the damp jasmine and lavender fragranced garments within. |

Do you love the smell of clean washing hanging in the house? |

Ah, see, I get this too as my washing machine is very tuneful. I'm now seeing my prejudice against my dishwasher and fridge and feeling ashamed. |

Is there some subtext to this? When you're next in the UK you can attend to me down there.

How about when the washing machine never actually finishes when it's supposed to? The sonofabitch keeps doing the final spin for at least twice as long as it should, especially when you're trying to dodge incoming showers and actually get the bloody thing dry!
That and toasters. Who knew you'd reach an age where the toast popping up unexpectedly will surprise you to the point of herniating a lower disc! |

The trick is to have the washing machine hidden away so you can't hear it. I do about 14 loads a week so I'd go insane if I had to listen to the beeping! |

YOLO, how much grace period do you get with your American style fridge-freezer when you're loading up your groceries? Does it start to beep almost immediately as soon as you start?? |

My cat comes to tell me it’s beeping.
He has this notion that he’ll get snacks if I go in the kitchen and he knows when something beeps in there, I should be going in. He’s impatient |

Ours plays a little song when it's done. The microwave also beeps several times if you don't offload your warmed food/drink within a short time. It's like "come on, do you REALLY want reheated pasta or not " |

Lol neither do I, Nero! I once viewed a house with the washing machine in a little closet in the 1st floor hallway. Surreal |

Come, now Nerø. Surely you live in an imposing 4 storey townhouse in Mayfair, with domestics to do that sort of thing? |

My washer doesn't make any sounds when it's finished. It's the dryer that annoys me, it finishes its cycle then keeps doing random turns until you go and empty it. Then everything is to fold and put away. Uuuurgh I hate laundry. |

You should feel ashamed! Those poor things. They've never harmed you. They make your life better.
If I'm in a ridiculous mood I'll sometimes dance to it - it can cheer my partner up even after the most difficult of days. |

Now you sêê my Dryer does this too! There is no beep or any form of audible alert. Instead the confounded thing just does a turn or two ever five minutes. It sounds like it's moaning and groaning like a petulant teenager. |

Pretty good with laundry, emptying a d putting on line to dry or taking to the launderette to tumble dry if weather's not great.
However, detest ironing clothes. |
