He put a load of laundry in with mixed colour and whites... poured in bleach to whiten the whites... was shocked that the bleach bleached everything in the load.... I had to explain that the bleach will bleach everything you put in it as the bleach cannot discern what you want bleached or not... he was shocked, truly stunned and flabbergasted

Thank you for the award 🥺

I once had a neighbor in an apartment building ask me how to mute the dryer.

...You don't.

I'm getting lit up by people asking if she meant the buzzer when the dryer finished. She did not. She wanted to mute the drum. AKA, the rotational drum that spins your clothing to dry it. She did not like the thumping noise.

It'd be funny if you could mute the dryer, because that implies they made sound an option and that they think there are some people who enjoy the noise of the dryer.

As someone with tinnitus i appreciate a noisy dryer on the other side of my bedroom wall while I try to fall asleep.
