we're all forgiven... I hope
I think all of us at one time or another is guilty of abusing an appliance, certainly not intentional anyway.
I'm guilty too, I've overloaded the washer here and there(not my Maytag anyway!), I don't always remember to clean the lint screen on the dryer, I've fed corn cobs, pork chop bones, and celery to the disposal, and I've gone thru 3 toasters in 10 years.
I'll bake a cake Paul!
