You keep going until the laundry is washed.

You don’t get to fold your arms and wait for rescue. Meanwhile, life is all about uneven loads.įor example, it will be inevitably true that the day you have a deadline at work, your computer will get weird, your kid will spike a fever, your dog will eat a sock, and you will get in a fender bender. I don’t even like to fold clothes, and they’re clean. How much time am I required to spend arranging dirty laundry? It’s picky that the load has to be even in the first place. Of course the repairman says that’s how it’s supposed to work.

My washing machine wants a laundry tiara. If I load something big like a sheet, I basically make a big ring around the nozzle in the center, like a laundry necklace. It’s not a washing machine, it’s a slot machine. It’s pure luck whether the laundry will be done by the end of the day. I’ve spent entire mornings stirring my laundry. Guaranteed, 10 minutes later it will stop again. Then you have to stick your hands in the dirty water, swish the clothes around to to distribute them more evenly, then push Start and hope for the best. This means that you can go up to move your clothes to the dryer and find them sitting in dirty water like laundry stew. If it detects that the load is uneven, it will immediately shut off, no matter where it is in the cycle. The main problem is that it’s supersensitive about whether the load is uneven. Not even I would marry this washing machine, and that’s saying something. You would never marry this washing machine. It’s insanely temperamental, unreliable, and demanding. To return to point, if my refrigerator is the Gallant of home appliances, then Goofus is definitely my washing machine. You prove your behavior over time, or at least until the warranty runs out. I bet a lot of people have an appliance they deeply love and/or deeply hate.
