The dryer says "OK I am done now please take the jeans out."

To which I reply "Why must you turn my apartment into a house of lies?"

Washer has four settings. "cold-cold", "warm-cold", and "hot-cold".
That's what the label says anyway. What the real settings are is "warm-hot", "hot-hot", "reallyhot-hot".

Things are beginning to shrink. I am irked.

Hehehe. Mine's the opposite. We have cold/cold, cool/cold, and lukewarm/cold. So sometimes stuff doesn't really get clean. But at least it doesn't shrink...

The sole advantage of having a washer that hooks straight up to the sink is that I control the horizontal, the vertical, and the temperature.

Unfortunately this means that in order to have different temps for wash and rinse, I have to stand next to the washer and change the temp on the sink faucet when it changes over to rinse. So everything basically gets washed on cold.

Right after I posted that, I think I figured out a solution. See, I also have an ice maker that makes way too much ice.

[uilos.livejournal.com]

Is yours like mine, where it has no sensor for when the ice bucket is full and just keeps on making ice until you turn it off or it bursts open your freezer?

[rbandrews]

Indeed. And it makes it at a frightening rate, and since the tap water here is pretty nasty (or maybe it's my filter), I tend to leave it off most of the time lest my freezer be overrun by musty ice.

I can't figure out the hot water in my house. The shower in the master bath takes zero time to heat up to the right temperature. The "cold" water in said bathroom sink runs warm for the first minute. This room is one floor above the water heater and on the opposite side of the house. The kitchen sink, however, which is perhaps 15 feet from the water heater takes for-frelling-ever to heat up.

You have a washer and dryer.

:envy:

Right on. I wish I had a washer/dryer to whisper sweet nothings in my apartment.

Have you seen his washer and dryer? They are so cute -- they hook up to his sink, like loyal laundry minions.

[jazzfish]

. . . sort of. I have a device which washes my clothes, and will also wash my kitchen ceiling if I forget to turn the faucet off before disconnecting it. (That's the kind of mistake you only make once, though.) I also have a storage unit for my wet clothes. Sometimes it deigns to blow hot air over them, moving the water from the clothes into the atmosphere and turning my apartment into a sauna.

Having laundry minions would be way cooler if they didn't act like the minions of a B-movie evil overlord.

Do our dryers know each other?

[jazzfish]

Gah. I'd forgotten about your dryer that takes one cycle to remind it that oh yeah, there are /wet clothes/ in here, and then another to dry. My sympathies.

A better question would be "Why must it turn your apartment into a house of bad punctuation?"
Honesty can be forced. Commas can't.

oh whine whine.
just let it be funny. :P

I don't know if household appliances know how to use commas.

Does the refrigerator tell you to kill people too? That's the problem with non-humans that don't speak English the way we do... they're always telling us to kill the things that need killing. They're like Texas that way.

Because it is evil and serves the Father of Lies, that's why. You have a Darkfriend dryer.
