"I have been guilty of leaving coins and "posty notes" in the pockets of my clothes being washed through ignorance but not malice. "

I've also left coins,dollar bills,etc,in my pockets.But the Maytag dryer always gives them back. Almost as good as a savings account.

Cronic washer over loader... Called me wondering if a Maytag atlantis could wash a queen size bedspread. Has tried to wash 22 pairs of jeans in said atlantis as well.. Also caught her washing everything on hot... Also loves to wash every towel in the house at once..Also loves to wash everyting with what ever she can find to use when she runs out of laundry soap (dishsoap, shampoo, body wash and dishwasher soap being the four i can think of)..Also asked me what Jet Dry was and could she use it to wash her cloths (last time i buy her any)

Dishwasher Stuffer-She stuffs every thing she can into the dishwasher and sets it to "Light Wash".. Also loves to use very little soap... Puts what ever where ever in her dishwasher... Also likes to wash her bra's in there as the washer eats them (no wonder)
 
BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THIS ONE YOU'LL PASS A BRICK

MY PARENTS TO BE PUNISHED FOR THE ULTIMATE UNSPEAKABLE APPLIANCE ABUSE MORE LIKE ATROSITIES!

MY SWEET LOVING MOTHER:
She mixes everything together, doesnt check her gum filled makeup kit safety pin filled pockets!, jam packs the washer (just pushing everything in), overdoses with detergent, sets it for half fill (our washer is a super capacity plus) which it says "large" when it should be set for "super", uses the easy care 6 minute cycle for filthy clothes uses half a bottle of fabric softener, and hang dries stretches out on wire hangers ctuttered up in the basement then on and on.

MY WONDERFUL FORGETFUL FATHER:
never checks his nail,pencil,pen,gum,money,razors(dont ask),tape,metrocard filled pockets either, mixes dark colors with light colors, uses 12 minute wash for everything(normal),underdoses detergent, mixes it all in to the top or sometimes not, always uses the infamous half fill ALWAYS even for queen size comforters!, never pretreats the unspeakable stains, overdoses on bleach and softener or as every softener to him is called "the downy", (if he remebers to use fabric softener),hang dries everything on a huge boiler pipe or as he would call it "the dryer", stretches everything on a hanger and leaves it there for months.

THEY BOTH:
Eventually fold the clothes and leave them for months without putting them away because "thats what the computer chair is for im tired tommorow".
They cook and dont clean up under the drip bowls under the burner so you can only guess the nasty filth (by the way im an obsessive compulsive cleaner!)

So my fellow members i have put the candle on the cake for you! punish them however you see fit no spanking thats to much fun lol! im gonna have a smoke now ;)_

My name is Sudsmaster and I confess I have at times unintentionally abused appliances, to wit:

1) Washing aftermarket car floor mats in the brand new Neptune 7500. During the spin they rotated and wore a nice hole in the door boot. Maytag, bless its defunct little heart, replaced the door gasket for free under warranty. I also went out and bought a spare door gasket ($50) which I have never needed to use in seven years.

I no longer attempt to wash car mats in the Neptune. However, I do have a used Frigmore that might like it (evil laugh, Buwaaahhhaahhahhhaaa!)

2) I have, in the past, accidentally sudslocked a super capacity belt drive Whirlpool. I think I forgot whether or not I had added detergent, and even though I saw suds, I added another cup of Clout. Result: the washer made horrid clunking noises trying to go into spin. I didn't realize it was due to too much suds, and decided the washer was on its last legs. That mistaken conception stayed with me for five more years, until I gave the washer away when I moved. Wish I still had it, it was a good machine (circa 1983 with waterfall lint filter).

3) Bought an early model maytag (50's vintage) used, and ran it in a garage on cold water only. Started putting little gray spots on white fabrics. Could have been leaky tranny or just mold. Gave that one away when I moved, too. Still kicking myself - it was a classy looking machine. I didn't know any better!

4) When I was in my early teens, we lived in a flat that had a three-ring Frigidaire (turquoise) in the basement. I would load ALL my week's laundry, including pants, shirts, undergraments, bed sheets, etc. into one load, and then complain when the twin sheets and pants got real intimate as in rope. But I loved watching that machine in action. Never knew until I got here that the little green rubber cap in the middle was where you could add detergent.
 
Mrs. Brady the suds are calling you....

My GOD!!
how did you manage work up such a froth? And then spill it on the floor?

Gulity, but innocent.....

Back in '97, I decided to jack in my 'real' job and follow my dream of opening my very own laundry service with TOTL Miele commercial washers. The very first customer brought in a filthy horse blanket, complete with straps and buckles, and I took pleasure in loading up one of my fabulous new machines with the offending article to prove the point that these machines could wash 'just about anything'. Well, thats what the brochure said anyway....

I decided to have a quick coffee, and sat back and watched as the mammoth virginal washer sprung to life and gave the horse blanket a good seeing to. Despite the occassional scraping noise from one of the buckles pressed up tight to the window, it happily washed dobbins muck and hair away, and eventually launched into a high spin grand finale. Unfortunately, what I didnt realise at the time was that the scenario of a buckle spinning at over 1000rpm in the same position should have been included in the 'harmful' section of said brochure. Just as the machine started to decelerate, its fate was quickly sealed with a slight snapping noise, and the momentary puzzled look on my face was NOTHING compared to the disbelief at seeing a precisely cut circle of glass falling at my feet. The coffee came back up as quickly as it had gone down, and my entrepreneurial honeymoon was over before it had truly begun. My beautiful bride, through no fault of her own, had become damaged goods.

The £9.95 I received for the blanket was an insult compared to the £300 I had to shell out for the glass. Needless to say, any further horse blanket queries were politely redirected to a competitor down the road.
 
Father forgive me, for I have sinned.....

Father forgive me... It was been 27 years before I could admit what I had done.

I just received my driver’s license and was entering the garage to park the car. I didn’t realize my Father had taken the 1968 Series 70 Kenmore washer and dryer out from the laundry room and put them (temporarily) into the garage for quick storage while he fixed a plumbing issue. I entered the garage to fast, and well, as fate would have it, plowed into both machines. When the car finally came to a stop... (I said was going too fast!), there wasn’t much left of both machines, not to mention part of a wall, door, and a window.

I have lived with this guilt all these long, long years and am willing to accept the punishment that is befitting such a crime.
