This thread is for reporting AA's![ Appliance Abusers! ] We need a national list to protect our treasures.
After we get the list then we must start to segregate the AA's from all appliances.
We also may need a public slapping place for blatant abusers!!

My first report Mrs. Mannion.

1) washer over stuffer --chronic

2) coffee maker abuser --jerks machine around, total lifespan in the home for a coffee maker -2 years tops!

Don't tell anybody, but...

I hate to admit it, but I have been known to occasionally kick the washer and slam the door to the dryer.

Do I qualify for meeting attendance?
 
Mrs. Clark (not her real last name, which is Hystad):

1) Leaves wet laundry in top-loading washer until they smell of mildew, THEN PUTS THEM IN THE DRYER.

2) Never cleans spilled detergent off inside of machine; never cleans in-post fabric softener dispenser.

SLAP-SLAP!!

My mom overloads, I'm not sure how often but I'm willing to bet she might fit into the chronic overloader category! I caught a stuffed comforter in the Maytag once doing the "160 OPM death thrash".

Thank God I'm the only one who uses the Studio machines.
 
I'll rat my mom out too...

Name: Gladys Parker

Crime: washer UNDER loader--famous for using the full setting on the washer and only half filling with clothes. Result: clothes piled up in one part of the tub resulting in an off balance machine.
Mom killed a Maytag A702 in 11 years, and an A608 in 19 years.

She's also guilty of ignoring dishwashers and disposals and letting them expire from dried seals and such
 
Aha, just the thread i was hoping for, time to rat on the relatives.

Name: Carol Pearson
Crimes: Overstuffing machine resulting in poor to non existent turnover. Using way too much detergent causing inproper rinsing. Overloading the dishwasher and then using the fast cycle resulting in me picking of bits of dried cereal off my dinner knife.

Name: Allison Haigh (aunt)
Crimes: Using Medium water level on Simpson Eziset for every load no matter how big or small.

Name: Jean Haigh (grandmother)
Crimes: Starting the machine on the very final inecrement of wash resulting in a 1 minute- ultimately resulting in us finding dried detergent powder in our undies.

Name: Deborah Campbell
Crimes: Using the Rinse cycles on her front loader to wash clothes- she never uses any of the wash cycles, just starts the machine at the first rinse on the timer. She also uses regular powder in a HE machine.

Here Endeth The Report

Suggested Punishment for all crimes: One months appliance training at AW.org
Reporting officer: Matthew Pearson
 
Next villain

Next villain,
Jeanette Hinds-my sister
Crime:washing every single day for just the 3 of us therefore wasting water and detergent(causing me to have to buy more all the time) and causing unnecessary strain on washer.
Crime 2:Using the accursed fabric softener(aarrgghh),on EVERY single thing she washes thus causing horrible buildup of gunk inside machine.
Solution:No more fully automatic washing machines, changed to manual twintub funny how above problems ceased when there was no more set it and forget it.
Now pardoned from crimes and coming along nicely in rehab.
P.S. but I still love her anyway.
 
id like to report

my mum. She never buys decent detergent, no she uses crappy ariel and own label products, only uses 40 deg synthetic washes on everything and over loads the machine. Everything gets a fast spin, and thrown into a hot dryer in winter. Did i mention she uses Lenor? Yuk. She washes jeans with wooly jumpers and t shirts. And she now wont use softener in the drawer again. She has gone back to running an extra rinse and spin causing extra motor wear when all she needs to is use DECENT DETERGENT LIKE PERSIL to get a good rinse. She also over loads the dryer, sets the timer for too short and leaves em slightly damp in there til she remembers like 2 days later and they stink. Rant Over. Nick
 
just a question...

Might it also be helpful to burn the worst of them as washer-heretics at the stake or do you think dunking is more adequate to a washer-crime??
Or do you think a strict washing-exorcism might help either??
Any other idea that might be helpful against those washer-witches and washing-sorcerers??

lol....Ralf
 
anyone have a cigarette?

~Might it also be helpful to burn the worst of them as washer-heretics at the stake.

MAYBE a bit severe. *LOL*

Shocking stories,all......

I don't remember the name,but a friend of a co worker couldn't afford a new dryer,so they used their mid 70's Kenmore until the front of the drum was shredded from bad rollers,and seals. It was grinding metal on metal,and finally started destroying clothes,along with cutting into the outer cabinet. I gave 'em a GE,and put the poor Kenmore down........

I also have a mid 70's Kenmore 'fridge,that someone brush painted black,but didn't pull it away from the cabinets,so it's still avocado where the kitchen cabinets were. Does that count?

Proclamation & Emanipation plea for retromom!!!

I hearby declare in the year of our Lord-2006 that said above poster Venus/AKA: retromom be emacipated and freed of all punishments associated with AA Abuse.
I have been witness to her personal appliances and can vouch that they are lovingly kept dust free, clean, and as of earlier this year, showed no signs what-so-ever of denting, mold, mildew, or abuse.
Her son, mind you, a TEENAGER no less, should be reported to the proper authorities, or the nearest Teen-Alanon AA Program.
Any temporary abuse done to Automatic Washers or Dryers that was indeed applied by retromom, was done under great emotional and physical stress at times when running a household of 1-said male teenager, and pre-teenage daughter, one husband, and a myraid of animals, while trying to handle numerous e-bay auctions, and figuring out what vintage coffemaker to use that morning.
Such abuse in the future should be considered when dealing with the abuser and applied to the bylaws and acts of the 12 step program.
My name is Maytagmom, and I am not an enabler or appliance abuser. But I do have a brother in law who washes dishes before putting them in the DW. I will pray for his soul on a daily basis for the next 2 wks, but it will not do any good.
I will pray for the souls of all these other AA's. This is my resolution for 2007.
Thank you, and I will step down now and have a cup o' spiked coffee now, lovingly perculated in my Vintage Red West Bend Flav-O-Matic with cream covered Bakelite handles and base.

Best regards,
MaytagMom
 
anyone have a cigarette?

Oh yeah, they are going up a dollar a pack on Jan 1st....you better stock up now!
"Cept for the Indian Casinos"...no tax there, from what I have been told.
I've cut back...waaaaaaaaay back recently. But still...
I need to quit *sigh*
 
anyone have a cigarette?

1 year, 7 months smoke free here, I quite totally cold turkey, and will never go back...

Its not as hard as you think it is to quit!
 
And after you've quit for awhile, you wonder why on Earth you ever put your lungs through the trauma of smoking. I quit hard drugs close to twenty years ago, cigs six years ago and alcohol over two years ago. I was worried I'd find straight-edge reality boring, but it hasn't been too bad. In fact, I've lost all interest in being altered by chemicals. Calories: The Final Frontier, LOL.
